Torokeru Hamburger Steak Fukuyoshi Asakusa Kuramae — Restaurant in Tokyo

If you're on the hunt for a next-level Japanese hamburg steak that melts in your mouth, Fukuyoshi in Kuramae is where you want to be. This spot delivers on flavor, experience, and atmosphere in a way that few places in Tokyo manage to pull off so effortlessly.

Food (5/5): The star here is the “Torokeru” (melting) hamburger steak made from a rich blend of domestic and Wagyu beef. Served sizzling rare on a hot plate, you cook each bite to your preferred doneness—guided by a charming little hourglass timer. I ordered the Kamakura Parmigiano Cheese Hamburg Steak Set, and it was incredible. Juicy, umami-packed, and perfectly balanced by the rice (from Niigata’s famed Minami Uonuma) and sweet miso soup. The demi-glace sauce was luxurious, but the cheese version took it to another level.

Atmosphere (4.5/5): The semi-private “kamakura” (snow hut-style) booths give the restaurant a cozy, tucked-away feeling. Jazz music plays softly in the background, creating a mellow and intimate vibe. It’s perfect for a casual dinner date or a small gathering. Despite being busy, it never felt rushed or noisy.

Service (4.5/5): Staff were friendly, attentive, and happy to explain how to enjoy the unique hot-plate setup. English support is minimal but manageable, and the illustrated menu makes ordering easy for non-Japanese speakers.

Value (4.5/5): At around ¥2,300–¥3,000 for a full set meal, it’s excellent value for the quality of beef and the overall experience. Portions are generous, and you’ll leave full and satisfied.

Overall: Torokeru Hamburger Steak Fukuyoshi is a hidden gem in Asakusa that blends craftsmanship, concept, and comfort food in the best possible way. If you love hamburg steak—or just want a truly Japanese twist on Western-style meat dishes—you’ll want to add this to your...

Came here March 2025. Staff were very accommodating of us tourists despite not really speaking any English. There is a QR code for an English menu but it's not that helpful as you need to order on the iPad in front of you and everything on that is in Japanese. There are pictures so that was helpful.

Be warned, there is an automatic ¥200 table charge/fee for each person. It's clearly listed on the menu placard and the staff also verbally told us so it was not a surprise which I appreciate.

Restaurant was clean, modern and inviting. There are table seats and counter seats.

The food was absolutely delicious and the novelty idea of cooking it on the hotplate was great. I highly recommend the ~¥2200 hamburger meal. You can then cook the rice with garlic on the hotplate which tasted amazing.

There were only 2 servers and i think they could have another as we had to ask them to fill our water on two occasions and to refill the fuel for the fire.

Highly recommend this place! Only thing I didn't like was the...

First of all, the hamburger steak was out of this world. It was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and the cooking experience was to another level. It was so creatively planned that you cook the hamburger and steak at your table like shown in the video. It was a fun experience and very satisfying delicious food. The rice was serve in a Japanese style bowl which keeps and maintain the high quality of the rice. After the hamburger and steak was cook then rice goes onto the hot platter, with garlic, salt and black pepper seasoning incorporating with the remaining juices of steak and hamburger, so simply well thought and so delicious.

This place is a MUST go and try. Very good price for Tokyo and food is amazing. I am visiting from Hawaii and we have a saying that goes like this "BROKE THE...
