About

Acacia Shinjuku Honten is the main shop of Acacia, a yoshoku (Western-style Japanese) restaurant founded in 1963 near the JR Shinjuku Station east exit and the Kabukicho area, known as the birthplace of roll-cabbage stew. The signature roll-cabbage stew grew from a dish the founder knew at home, and it is still made without dairy, using a chicken stock simmered from chicken bones for about 4 hours.

— 1,000 plates a day, roll-cabbage origin

The signature roll-cabbage stew was added to the menu a few months after the 1963 opening, out of a wish to make yoshoku easier to eat. Based on roll cabbage the founder knew at home, it began by holding back the then-expensive meat, milk, and butter and finishing the dish with a house-made roux and chicken stock. It is still made without dairy, without relying on bouillon cubes or granules, using a stock simmered from chicken bones for about 4 hours. The shop is known for taking more than 1,000 orders a day. Since opening in 1963, it has kept serving the same taste.

“Acacia — White But Dairy-Free Cabbage Rolls”

2 minutes on foot from JR Shinjuku East Exit. Went to "Acacia," a long-established Western restaurant founded in Showa 38 (1963)! The interior is retro yet stylish — a space like time-slipping to the Showa era 🌿 Arriving Saturday 10:50, more than 10 groups already waiting, but with opening I entered smoothly ◎ (There's a 2nd floor too, so turnover seems fast, but the line was constant.) There are also solo seats — could go alone without hesitation ☺️ ⸻ 🥄 Of course the recommendation is the cabbage roll! └ Beef, pork, chicken, wheat, alcohol The melty white sauce-wrapped cabbage roll, reminiscent of stew. It looks creamy but is actually dairy-free — shocking! 😳 The sauce is meat!! and packed with vegetable umami — pairs excellently with rice 🍚✨ ⸻ 🍽 This time chose "Kurobuta Mincekatsu"! └ Pork, wheat, eggs, alcohol Very large mince katsu! The relatively thin Kurobuta mince katsu uses eggs and wheat, but you can directly taste the crunchy crust and juicy meat umami! Side is shredded cabbage and mayo-dressed? pasta 🥗 When I visited before, there was no allergen display. Now it's become a shop allergy-affected kids can use, with thoughtful accommodation — a happy point 😌💕
