Seiniku Yakiniku Toyooka
A yakiniku restaurant that doubles as a butcher shop. The exterior looks like a meat store, but inside you'll find authentic yakiniku. Fresh-cut Wagyu, domestic pork, and chicken are served. Known for its 'cooking philosophy' — marinating and grilling with care, not just raw meat on a grill. Many repeat customers from inside and outside Joetsu. Lunch only (11am-2pm).
Yahoo Maps 4.46 from 65 reviews, 149 Tabelog reviews. Customers say 'The meat quality is completely different,' 'Surprisingly affordable for direct from butcher,' and 'I keep coming for lunch.' Highly rated by the yakiniku specialty site 'Yakiniku Zukan.' Known through local word-of-mouth inside and outside the prefecture.
