It used to be a yakiniku restaurant called Shou, but now it has become Horumon Yaki Sapporo Shichirin. It just opened on May 14th, so the interior looked fresh and clean. The young staff in charge of the hall seemed like student part-timers, but they provided good customer service with smiles throughout. The staff in the kitchen also looked quite young, but they had a friendly smile when it came to payment. The refreshing attitude is pleasant. I was planning to order horumon based on the restaurant name, but after looking at the menu, I ended up not ordering it. I ordered Kalbi, Gyutan, Lamb, and a small rice bowl with two types of sauce, lemon sauce and a soy-based sweet and salty mellow sauce. The meat was all marinated, and the lamb felt well marinated. The Kalbi also had a marinated taste. As a service, we received a simmered beef tail. The spicy and tender beef tail was delicious and made me crave beer. The Kalbi had a sweetness from the fat and marination, with a good balance of umami and tenderness, which I found to be the most delicious. The lamb occasionally had tough sinewy parts, giving it a feeling similar to lamb with sauce like Genghis Khan, and it did not match up to a lamb specialty store. The Gyutan was still frozen and felt hard, but even when lightly cooked, the inside still felt cold. When cooked thoroughly, it did not have the crispy texture I was expecting, so I made a Gyutan bowl, but it did not match up to a Gyutan specialty store. The origin of the meat was not specified on the menu, and overall, the menu did not feel like a good deal. There were 6 counter seats, with chairs set up in pairs like couple seats. On the left side across the aisle from the entrance, there were 4 tables for 4 people each with sunken kotatsu seats, and on the right side near the entrance, there were private rooms and sunken kotatsu seats for around 8 people. ☆☆☆ Next time on preview ☆☆☆ They don't serve lunch and it's not an area I usually go to, so how will it turn out?
