Did you know there’s a hamburger steak restaurant in Mabi that’s loved by everyone from children to seniors?
At Hamburger Steak Restaurant pas a pas, even the vegetables served on the side show how much care goes into the food.
The restaurant was flooded in the July 2018 Heavy Rains and remained closed for five months.
On December 1 of that year, the restaurant reopened after renovating the same location in Mabi.
We spoke with the Iwata couple about the delicious appeal of their hamburger steaks and their feelings during the time leading up to the reopening.
The information provided was accurate when this article was published in April 2019. Please note that it may differ from current information.
About Western-Style Restaurant pas a pas before the July 2018 Heavy Rains
Mr. Iwata, who is from Mabi, opened his own restaurant in Okayama City at the age of 24 and ran a Western-style restaurant for nearly 10 years.
He then returned to his hometown of Mabi and opened Western-Style Restaurant pas a pas on December 16, 2009.
With its calming modern interior, it was a popular hamburger steak restaurant where families with children and older customers gathered.
About Hamburger Steak Restaurant pas a pas after reopening
Before the July 2018 Heavy Rains, there were no windows on the entrance side. After reopening, more windows were added, creating a bright interior filled with natural light.
The interior was transformed with white walls and dark brown tables and chairs, giving it a clean, uncluttered feel.
There are 14 seats in total. The restaurant is completely non-smoking.
All seats are at tables: two tables seat four people, and three tables seat two.
High chairs are also available, so families with children can feel at ease.
Four kinds of hamburger steak to choose from
As its name, Hamburger Steak Restaurant pas a pas, suggests, the menu consists only of hamburger steak lunch sets.
When we visited in March 2019, there were four hamburger steak options.
All sets include rice, salad, soup, and coffee or plain tea, and cost 1,400 yen (tax included).
- Hamburger steak stewed in a skillet
- Hamburger steak with demi-glace sauce
- Japanese-style hamburger steak with grated daikon
- Cheese-baked hamburger steak
A large serving of rice costs an additional 100 yen (tax included).
For something light, try the Japanese-style hamburger steak with grated daikon. On a cold day, go for the piping-hot hamburger steak stewed in a skillet.
Every one is an exceptional hamburger steak made with the owner’s special care!
Crisp salad made with fresh local vegetables and comforting soup
The salad is lightly dressed with homemade dressing and has a crisp, fresh texture.
The piping-hot consommé soup is light and has a gentle flavor that goes perfectly before the hamburger steak.
The ingredients are sourced within Mabi, and are from Okayama, including produce grown in Mabi.
Side vegetables that are stars in their own right
The sweet potato and pumpkin are fluffy, the carrots are sweet, and the broccoli is just the right firmness.
The side vegetables, soup, and salad are all seasoned to bring out the ingredients’ distinctive qualities, further enhancing the deliciousness of the hamburger steak.
The perfect pairing of meat and cheese: “Cheese-Baked Hamburger Steak”
The “Cheese-Baked Hamburger Steak” is popular with children, and its savory aroma of baked cheese fills the air.
Melted, gooey cheese and tender hamburger steak are coated in the special demi-glace sauce. It’s the kind of dish that makes you smile as soon as you take a bite.
“Hamburger Steak Stewed in a Skillet,” served piping hot
The one I especially recommend is the “Hamburger Steak Stewed in a Skillet”!
The ingredients for the stewed hamburger steak are all served in a skillet.
Watching the butter melt into the piping-hot demi-glace sauce is sure to whet your appetite!
The greatest appeal of pas a pas’s hamburger steak is that it is tender and easy to eat, packed with the rich flavors of meat and vegetables.
That’s why people of all ages enjoy it just as much, and why you’ll want to eat it again and again.
I hope lots of people get to try the hamburger steak at pas a pas.
Next, we spoke with owner Mr. Iwata about the care he puts into his hamburger steaks and how the restaurant reopened after being affected by the July 2018 Heavy Rains.
