Texas Kōjimachi

If you’re in the mood for a generous serving of harami, part of the appeal at Texas Kōjimachi is choosing how much to order. The menu’s Texas Harami is described as lean beef and comes in 160g, 230g and 320g portions. One diner who tried 230g found the meat easy to chew and, despite the substantial portion, light enough in fat to keep eating comfortably. Another appreciated the thin slices, so texture as well as portion size may help guide your choice.

Seasoning your steak at the table is another part of the experience. Diners mention three steak sauces, along with salt, pepper, mustard and garlic. Some chose a recommended sauce; others switched between sauces as they ate. If you’re having rice with your steak, you could start with a favourite sauce and add pepper or garlic later for a change of flavour.

Thinly sliced Texas Kalbi and sirloin offer alternatives to harami. The menu lists Kalbi in 180g or 360g portions, and sirloin in 180g or 360g portions; the sirloin is described as “tender and juicy”. Some diners who prefer sirloin say it has a more pronounced meatiness than harami, giving you a different point of comparison. A popular choice, the Dream Set, includes 180g each of sirloin, Kalbi and harami. Choose one cut to savour in a larger portion or compare all three, depending on your appetite and the occasion.

The weekday lunch menu also features a daily set with 120g each of harami and hamburg steak, served with rice and salad. The hamburg steak sauce changes by day, making this a good option if you’d like a different flavour alongside your steak. The Kōjimachi Hamburg Steak is also available on its own in a 180g portion, with a choice of demi-glace or Japanese-style grated daikon sauce.

In the evening, drinks include beer, wine, sake and highballs. For a side, Texas Tacos can be ordered one piece at a time. Diners who added one enjoyed its mildly spicy seasoning and filling of minced meat and cabbage—a handy choice when you want something extra alongside your steak.
