Yakiniku Sankou
Family-run yakiniku restaurant in Higashi Ward, Hiroshima, founded in 1985. Known locally as the family restaurant of WBA world middleweight boxing champion Shinji Takehara, run by his mother and older brother. Praised for cuts like beef kone and harami, plus a signature ramen set to finish the meal. 3-minute walk from Tenjingawa Station.
Reviewers praise the 'thick, flavorful cuts of meat,' especially kone and beef tongue, and are surprised by how good the closing ramen set is at a yakiniku restaurant. The shop's beloved 'auntie' staff member gets frequent mentions, and locals often celebrate special occasions here. Evenings fill up fast, so reservations are recommended.
