About Pepper Lunch

Highlights
- The “Eel Chazuke Pepper Rice” offers three ways to enjoy: savor it as is with grilled eel and hot rice, add aromatic sansho pepper for a refreshing twist, and finally pour golden broth over the rice for a light chazuke experience with optional wasabi for a spicy kick.
- The “Kalbi Steak & Spicy Curry Fried Rice” features tender kalbi steak on a hot iron plate. The juices from the meat infuse the rice, which is then mixed with spicy curry flavors, delivering a stimulating and savory dish perfect for summer.
- Both dishes come in regular and large rice portions, with the eel dish also available in a 1.5 times eel portion for extra indulgence.
- These menu items are available only at Pepper Lunch and Pepper Lunch PLUS locations across Japan, excluding the Tokyo Racecourse branch.
