01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Lunchtime at Kanda Bar revolves around 100% minced pork hamburg steaks. Diners can switch sauces with every visit, choosing from options such as griddled cheese curry, tomato sauce, demiglace, or a light Japanese dashi sauce fragrant with shiso. Alongside the juicy, tender pork patty, a colorful accompaniment of naturally sweet steamed vegetables makes each lunch plate thoroughly satisfying.
Come evening, the tables and counter fill with small plates made to accompany wine. Cold starters are a highlight, featuring rare white liver mousse, a charcuterie platter of 3 cured meats including duck, beef, and jamon serrano, and horsemeat tartare served with sliced baguette. Warm offerings include mushroom and baby shrimp ajillo, duck leg confit slow-cooked in oil, and pastas such as blue cheese rigatoni or shrimp tossed in an Americaine sauce, equally fitting as a main meal or a closing bite over drinks.
The beverage list spans approachable white and red wines by the glass, sparkling wine with crisp citrus notes, and full-bodied bottled reds. Inside, the intimate counter-led room feels welcoming for solo diners or pairs sharing a relaxed meal. Table reservations are available for dinner service, and payment is cash only, so planning ahead is recommended.
