For the sauce, I picked the wasabi mayo that was recommended as the best combo — the sharp, nose-clearing kick of wasabi mixed with the savory mayo was absolutely fantastic! When I got the bowl I was waiting for, the freshness was visible even to the eye (๑˙ꄃ˙๑)

The 100g of steak came with a generous variety of basic toppings, catching the eye with its visuals alone. The plate full of colorful ingredients was appetizing just to look at, and it felt filling right away (๑˙ꄃ˙๑)♡⃛ The harmony of the nicely browned steak and fresh vegetables was excellent, so it was fun enjoying it with my eyes first before tasting it.
