Shichirinyakiniku Anan Kyobashiten

Lunch here suits anyone who likes grilling meat over a shichirin and enjoying it with rice and soup. One diner who ordered the 200g kalbi and harami lunch set at the Kyobashi branch said that rice, soup and kimchi could be refilled, and that salted cabbage was included. Another lunch-goer found the kalbi thin enough to be “just right for wrapping around rice”. The loin, by contrast, was a little thicker; both cuts were described as tender. The set makes it easy to choose whether rice or the flavour of the meat takes centre stage.

A diner who tried the all-you-can-eat lunch mentioned enjoying harami as well as chicken thigh with spicy miso. The menu’s chicken thigh and yagen cartilage can be ordered with a choice of marinade, salt or miso sauce, offering a way to vary the seasoning as you grill. Some diners have noted that lunch offerings and prices have changed, so check the current set details when ordering rather than assuming past reports still apply. One visitor also said rice and soup were self-serve.

For an all-you-can-eat meal, the menu lists the “Dai Manzoku Course” with 19 items, the “Anan Course” with 35, and the “DX Course” with 70 items, including dessert. The prices, tax included, are 2,750 yen, 3,520 yen and 4,180 yen respectively. Choose according to what you fancy: the meat and classic sides, or a wider selection that can include beef tongue, seafood, cold noodles and bibimbap. Alternatively, order individual yakiniku plates and drinks at your own pace. Diners have mentioned ordering beef tongue and harami, while others enjoyed drinks with vegetables and side dishes. The quick menu includes edamame, chilled tofu and hatsu pon, among other options—handy while the meat cooks.

The listed drinks offer includes 4 types, including highballs and sours, for 100 minutes at 715 yen including tax; an all-drinks option is 1,199 yen including tax. The limited selection may suit a casual drink with yakiniku, while the all-drinks plan offers a broader choice. The Kyobashi branch is on the 2 floor of a building in Katamachi. Lunch service starts at 11 on Saturdays and Sundays, and at 17 on weekdays.
