Wrestling culture is a big deal in Japan and this place is a wrestling hot spot.  WWE Hall of Famer Stan Hansen credits Bruiser Brody with finding the restaurant.

“In Japan back in the late 70s, early 80s, steak was still foreign. It was very expensive. Just to get a normal steak was $20 or $30. Wrestlers had a hard time finding a place to eat fairly cheap and everybody loved steak, coming from America.

Bruiser Brody happened to find this place. He took me soon after he found it. Probably ’78 or ’79. The [owner] was a wrestling fan and became a bigger fan as more and more guys came to eat.”
