Karayama will launch its Black Pepper Chicken Tempura Lemon Steak Set at participating locations across Japan from September 25, 2026. The seasonal menu combines crisp chicken tempura with a hot lemon steak-style sauce, butter, and black pepper.
The menu will be available for a limited period at domestic Karayama restaurants, excluding some locations, during each store’s regular opening hours. Sales will end when ingredients run out, and prices or available items may vary by restaurant.
The dine-in set includes seven pieces of black pepper chicken tempura, rice, and miso soup. It costs ¥1,089 (tax included) at regular stores or ¥1,090 at ticket-machine locations. Takeout is also available, including the seven-piece bento at ¥1,069 (tax included) at regular stores or ¥1,090 at ticket-machine locations.
About the Karayama seasonal menu
The chicken tempura is served on a hot plate so it stays warm through the meal. A special lemon soy sauce adds citrus acidity and savory depth, while grilled lemon can be squeezed over the dish for a softer citrus flavor. Butter is added at the end, bringing richness to the sharp black pepper and lemon combination.
