Sawayaka Nagaizumi Store — Restaurant in Nagaizumi

My best hamburg steak restaurant

Do you know a famous hamburg steak chain restaurant in Shizuoka? We went to a hamburg steak restaurant called Sawayaka for lunch in Mishima with three people. My family has been there, so they recommended it. We made a reservation through a machine and it printed the waiting number. It’s very popular even on weekdays so we had to wait twenty-five minutes. In the restaurant, the building has a wooden style architecture and the interior is very clean. It’s similar to a family restaurant. The inside smelled like smoke because of the grilling hamburg steak.

The menu has a variety of options, including hamburg steak, beef steak, curry, doria and hamburgers. Hamburg steak is the main menu. It’s for all so we can eat hamburg steak for lunch. We ordered “Genkotsu club”on the lunch menu. This set contains hamburg steak using Aussie beef, and also including rice, vegetables, soup and a drink. The Hamburg steak was grilled by the staff and came with sauce poured by the staff. It was easy to eat. We can choose between demi-glace sauce or onion sauce. Then the staff said “Please be careful because you can burn your hand.” It was very polite. The hamburg steak is very juicy. Then, I ate hamburg steak with rice, it was very delicious for me. The meat is rare. So it is soft rather than fleshy. Until now, I thought that hamburg steak was soft but I have never eaten this hamburg steak before. It was very delicious. I can’t eat another hamburg steak anymore.

Sawayaka is about a 15-20 minutes walk from Nihon University. But it is best to go there by bicycle. It opens at 11:00 a.m and it closes at 23:00 p.m. And lunch time is from 11:00 a.m to 15:00 p.m. I recommend that you don’t wear a white shirt and the smell remind in your clothes so please be careful. Sawayaka is my favorite hamburg steak restaurant. The price is very reasonable. So I can feel free to go there again. You should go...

After missing the chance to dine here during my last trip, I was determined to experience it this time. I queued for nearly two hours, and I can genuinely say it was worth every minute. If you're planning to visit, I highly recommend arriving early to secure your spot and then exploring the surrounding area while you wait. The restaurant thoughtfully provides a queuing link, allowing you to check the latest updates on your wait time — a nice touch!

From the moment you step inside, the service stands out, delivering a level of attentiveness you wouldn't expect from a casual family restaurant. The small details, like serving salads with cold forks and offering cold share plates, truly enhance the dining experience. The staff continually checked in on us throughout the meal, ensuring we had everything we needed.

The atmosphere here is cozy and inviting, creating a perfect backdrop for a meal. The cleanliness is impressive, including well-maintained carpets that contribute to the overall hygiene of the place.

Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the hamburg. In all honesty, it was probably the best I've ever had in my life. Highly recommend the onion sauce. The beef was incredibly moist and soft, showcasing the high-quality meat that they use. Whether you opt for rice or bread, you can't go wrong. The bread itself deserves special mention — it's some of the best I've ever tasted from a restaurant, elevating the entire meal.

Don't skip dessert, either. The flan is a delightful treat that you should definitely try!

I left Shizuoka with a full belly and a satisfied heart, and I can confidently say I would travel back just to enjoy that hamburg again. If you find yourself in the area, make sure to stop by — but be prepared to wait; it’s a popular spot...
