I visited a nationwide chain of yakiniku restaurants for the first time in a while. Just like the name suggests, it's great that you can grill on a shichirin (a small, portable grill) with charcoal! The atmosphere of a casual yakiniku place has a certain nostalgic feel reminiscent of the Showa era, which I personally find quite nice!

I visited the restaurant to use my V Points, which are exclusive to Tabelog! It was worth writing a review because I got the chicken lunch for free, which costs 580 yen! By registering my favorite restaurant on the official app, I also got the beef tongue, which is over 600 yen, for free! I enjoyed a large serving of rice along with chicken thigh, beef tongue, and succulent chicken neck. I couldn't resist and had a draft beer too! The total bill was just 319 yen. I'm so grateful!

I went to this restaurant for Saturday dinner. First, I ordered a beer. On this day, I also chose my usual: pork offal. Of course, I ordered a large serving of rice. It was very delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Charcoal-grilled yakiniku is the best. There's a non-smoking area and a smoking area available. The meat is thin, salty, and incredibly delicious at a reasonable price, with plenty of variety. The service is quick. I've never seen it crowded, so you can just walk in. It's conveniently located near the station, making it easy to access.

I visited for lunch! The cost performance is really good during lunch, and the staff was friendly, which made it enjoyable. When I feel like having casual barbecue, I plan to visit here for lunch again. I ordered the hangar steak set, and it was thicker and tastier than the ones from some chain restaurants.

I went to this restaurant for a late lunch on Saturday and chose the pork hormone set meal. It included pork hormone, a large serving of rice, a small side dish, and wakame soup. Of course, I also had a beer. I added beef tongue midway through my meal. Everything was very delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Good evening, everyone♪ This time I visited "Shichirin Yakiniku An-An, Sapporo Kita 24 Jo." As the name suggests, it's really inexpensive! I always enjoyed the 2-hour all-you-can-drink for about 1000 yen and the An-An Kalbi for around 300 yen. I happily kept ordering and drinking throughout my visit. I look forward to coming back again. It was delicious, thank you for the meal!

This place offers Asahi Super Dry draft beer for 120 minutes, which is a major draw. The order through the touch panel is super quick, and the beer is served in well-chilled mugs, which is a nice touch. I quickly finished my drinks… before I knew it, it was less than 200 yen per glass… thank you, ★An An. I ordered about three servings of kalbi (beef short ribs) for around 300 yen and some crunchy cabbage. It was delicious! However, to my surprise, the kalbi that day had a texture like jerky. Well, I guess there are days like that. I stayed for 60 minutes and was very satisfied. A budget-friendly, outstanding yakiniku spot. It was tasty. Thank you for the meal!

Today, I'm going for a walk to do some shopping at "Ni-Yon" (Two-Four). By the way, I wonder why it's "Ni-Yon" and not "Ni-yon"? Well, it says "Ni-Yon" on the official website of the Kitaku Ward Office too (laughs). Anyway, yesterday was Sunday, and the Kita 24 Street and Shinkawa Street were busy with a marathon event. Today, I need to go shopping because my stock of masks is running low, so I'm headed to Tsuruha. It's funny that there are two Tsuruha stores in the same neighborhood, both taking over former pachinko parlors (laughs). Speaking of which, in the neighborhood with the bus terminal, there are Lawson stores on the north and south sides (laughs). Before shopping, I think I'll grab some lunch. I received a flyer in the mail about a joint sale for the Kunitachi and Sapporo Kita 24 stores, and I remembered, “Oh yeah, it came with a 10% OFF coupon...” When I checked the flyer, I saw that the coupon is valid from October 1st to October 31st, 2024…?? Seriously? It’s still August, and it skips September to October? Well, whatever (laughs). I arrived just after 11:00 AM, shortly after opening, and I don't think there were any other customers. When I told the staff I was alone, they seated me at a four-person kotatsu-like table. I placed my order using a tablet, but the tablet at the first table was powered down. When the staff turned it on, it displayed a "Please charge" message. So, I moved to a table by the window, where the view wasn't too great. I browsed the menu for a set meal and chose the "Kalbi and Harami Set Meal for 1,188 yen." While looking at the alcohol menu, I noticed "Asahi Super Dry Draft Beer for 319 yen"?? That's too cheap (laughs), so I couldn't resist ordering it. While fiddling with my smartphone, I suddenly felt something warm in front of me — was that a shichirin (grill)? (laughs) I had forgotten that's the name of the restaurant. Next, my chilled draft beer appeared. Having a nice cold beer during the day at a restaurant is... fantastic! Soon after, within five minutes, my kalbi and harami arrived. The rice was a bit smaller, but it was packed well. There was a wakame seaweed soup, and what was that green item in the middle? It’s not spinach, right? When I tried it as a beer snack, I found it was seasoned with sesame oil and quite good. I placed the meat on the grill. The smoke from the grilling kalbi was intense, but the smoke extraction worked well, so it wasn't too smoky. The sauce was pretty tasty as well. Halfway through, I tried the chili miso that was provided on the table, and it was pretty delicious! However, the harami pieces were really large—having scissors would have been helpful (laughs). Overall, it was cheap, tasty, and well worth it. Thank you for the meal!

I went to this restaurant for dinner to enjoy hormone (grilled offal) with beer. I had the miso hormone and kalbi with a large serving of rice and a Super Dry beer. The beer was very affordable, so I kept having more. It was cheap, filling, and I was very satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

I wanted to enjoy hormone (grilled offal) with some beer again, so I visited this restaurant. I love grilling on the shichirin (a type of grill). I had miso hormone, kalbi (beef short ribs), and beef tongue with a large serving of rice and a Super Dry beer. I was completely full and very satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

I was intrigued by this restaurant because the Northern Utashitachi talked about it in their video. If you want to have affordable yakiniku, this place is the best choice. The sauce is delicious, the staff is friendly, and it's great that they use charcoal grills. I personally liked that even though it's a chain restaurant, they played jazz music.

I wanted to eat hormone with beer on this day, so I went to this restaurant. It's a place where you can enjoy grilled meat and drinks from the afternoon, making it easy for solo diners to visit. On this day, there were two other solo customers ahead of me. I ate a lot of hormone and rice, drank beer, and was very satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

I went to this place because I wanted to enjoy some beer with my hormones. As always, it’s cheap and delicious. The beer goes down nicely. I thought I’d try something different this time and ordered the beef tongue, which was also tasty. Thank you for the meal!

I revisited this restaurant because I liked it the last time. This time, I chose the pork hormons set from the lunch menu. The set includes pork hormons (which is said to be for two people), a large serving of rice, a side dish, and wakame soup. The hormons were just as delicious as I remembered. I also decided to order some baby octopus, which came with four pieces and was served with a spicy mayonnaise sauce. It was all very tasty. Thank you for the meal!

I visited a new yakiniku chain restaurant that opened in Kitaku 24-jo on Sunday evening. I opted for the 2500 yen all-you-can-eat and drink option. Since I love offal, I ended up eating mostly that. The price is low, but the offal was very delicious. Grilling it on a charcoal grill is great too. I think I will go back frequently. Thank you for the meal!

On my day off, I left home early and rode my bike around the area. I indulged in some delicious morning curry at a cafe I had been curious about. After that, I ran into a big guy at a newly opened cafe (or rather, I encountered him), and we moved on to the city center, enjoying some sweets while sipping tea together. We then parted ways, and I met up with my wife in Tanukikoji. When I asked her what she wanted for lunch, she surprisingly said, “Soup curry.” I thought, “No way... I just had some a few hours ago!” So, I suggested, “How about some grilled meat?” and she easily agreed to that, avoiding the back-to-back curry situation. Come to think of it, we had expensive grilled meat for lunch just last Sunday too. We headed to "Shichirin Yakiniku An-An Sapporo Kita 24 Jo" which is set to open on May 9, 2024. It’s just a one-minute walk from the subway station, on the second floor of a building. They open at 11 a.m. on weekends and holidays. All the seating is in separate tables and semi-private areas, without needing to remove shoes, and I couldn’t see the whole restaurant, but there were about 20 tables. First, we ordered the "120-minute all-you-can-drink" for 1,089 yen each and started with two beers, followed by a highball, "Otokozaka Sour," and "Otokozaka Highball," totaling about 12 drinks together. For grilled items, we chose: - Beef tongue (495 yen) - An-An short ribs (275 yen) - Chicken neck (seseri) (275 yen) - Salted pork hormone (319 yen) - Shima chō (beef intestine) (319 yen × 2) - Harami (539 yen) - Salted gatsu (429 yen) - Baked potatoes (209 yen) - Onion (209 yen) - An-An kuppa (594 yen) Ordering was done through a tablet, and there were some items at special prices for the opening. The beef tongue wasn’t as melt-in-your-mouth soft as I expected given the price, but I could tell they were putting in effort. The harami was a large cut, tender, and quite enjoyable for the price. The short ribs were somewhat tough and dry, reflecting their economical price point. The chicken neck was muscular with a nice texture and had a good saltiness, offering more satisfaction than expected. The salted pork hormone was pleasantly tender and rich, making it feel like a real bargain. The shima chō was nothing compared to what you’d find at high-end restaurants, but it was more than satisfactory for the price, so I ordered more. The salted gatsu was tough and not that great. The baked potatoes came in an aluminum dish and were simply prepared over the grill; they were fine for the price. The An-An kuppa was a decent-sized finishing dish, not particularly special but satisfying. It had been a while since my last visit, and I felt the quality of the meat and overall experience had changed slightly. The offal dishes were better than the red meat, making it worthwhile for someone who loves organ meats like me to return. This kind of grilled meat lunch on a holiday really hits the spot. The all-you-can-eat option starts at 2,500 yen for 120 minutes, including a drink bar, so it’s definitely the better deal if you can eat a lot. I have a feeling I'll be back again soon. Thank you for the meal!

For the price, it's quite good! I realized after eating that opting for the all-you-can-eat option would definitely be a better deal. The soft drink bar at 2500 yen really should have been included. The portion sizes for the individual dishes are relatively small, so if you want to eat a lot, you’ll quickly spend 2500 yen. If you're also interested in eating "vegetables," "salad," and "snacks," there's an all-you-can-eat option for 3500 yen! It's also nice that kids get half off. I noticed quite a few people dining alone, which is great, and it seems family-friendly too. Today is their grand opening, and many of the staff are new, so the service is good. I hope they continue to do well. Looking at the opening flyer, it seems like a good deal. I want to come back for lunch next time! It was delicious!

The pre-drinks gathering at 24 is great because it's cheap, quick to serve, and overall excellent.
