Lincoln

Lincoln sits on National Route 13 in the Iizaka-machi Hiranohara district, a spa-town suburb of Fukushima City that draws visitors for its hot springs. The restaurant is a detached house with seating for 30, including tatami-style zashiki sections, a layout consistent with the kind of neighbourhood yoshoku-ya that was once the backbone of Japanese casual dining. The Showa-era interior is part of the identity here, not an affectation. The menu centres on yoshoku standbys: hamburger steak, menchi katsu, and pork katsuretsu.

Reviewers consistently single out the portion sizes, with the pork katsuretsu in particular described as substantial even by the standards of a genre that has never been shy about volume. Prices are accessible, with dinner averaging in the ¥1,000–¥1,999 range per person, a price point that makes the volume all the more notable. Lincoln has been in operation for approximately 45 years, giving it the kind of institutional familiarity in the local area that newer restaurants cannot manufacture. That longevity is now reflected in its Tabelog credentials: a score of 3.

64, a leading yoshoku ranking in Fukushima City, and inclusion on the Tabelog Hyakumeiten 2025 list, a selection that recognises restaurants with sustained user recognition rather than fleeting popularity. The venue is best reached by car; it is roughly 593 metres from Iouji-mae Station on the Fukushima交通飯坂線, though the surrounding area is oriented towards drivers.
