It looks like a popular Western-style restaurant in Nishinomiya will be featured on NHK’s “Chaun Chau?” airing Thursday, August 19 from 8:15 p.m.

What is “Chaun Chau?”
“Chaun Chau?” is an NHK information variety show broadcast on the second Saturday of every month at 8:15 p.m. Shingo Murakami of Kanjani Eight and Cookie! of Yasei Bakudan introduce the charms and secrets of Kansai that even people from the region may not know, while exploring the deep local love for the area.
The popular Nishinomiya Western-style restaurant appearing on August 19 is…
The TV listings say, “A super unique service at a popular Western-style restaurant in Nishinomiya?” and the official page says, “A popular Western-style restaurant in Nishinomiya. If you do ○○, you can get a hamburger steak!? A super unique service.” So if you’re from Nishinomiya, when you hear “Western-style restaurant,” you probably know which one this is.
We’re pretty sure it’s this hamburger steak restaurant. It’s probably 土筆苑 in Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi.
Since the clue is “If you do ○○, you can get a hamburger steak,” we’re guessing it’s this place.
Promotion Hamburger Steak↓
Growth Hamburger Steak↓
土筆苑 has been running initiatives like giving hamburger steaks to office workers who got promoted this year, as well as its “Growth Hamburger Steak,” where children receive one hamburger steak for every 1 cm they grow. It’s such a famous restaurant that we’ve honestly lost track of how many times it’s been featured on TV.
In closing
In a previous Nishi2 survey, “What’s your favorite Western-style restaurant in Nishinomiya?”, all kinds of restaurant names came up, so I looked up what exactly defines a “yoshoku” restaurant. In the broad sense, it seems to refer to Western cuisine in general, but in the narrower sense, it means Western-style dishes that developed uniquely in Japan. Dishes like cutlets, curry, croquettes, fried oysters, fried shrimp, and omurice are apparently considered Japanese-style yoshoku.
