Shichikōsan is a classic neighbourhood yakiniku joint frequented by thirsty salarymen, dating couples, ravenous families and everyone else in between.

The unpretentious interior, atmosphere and service elevate the focus on reasonably priced, generously thick cuts of prime black wagyū beef and (for the so inclined) assorted offal, of which the store’s speciality dish is the immense ‘Dragon Cut Diaphragm.’

The quality of the meat is excellent, tending toward lean rather than too heavily marbled, and combined with the option to bring-your-own-bottle (corkage ¥1,000) delivers undeniable cost performance.
