[Yufuin] Premium Bungo beef grilled over charcoal on a shichirin: Shichirinyaki Wasaku
This restaurant is a certified Bungo beef establishment, holding the highest “Itadaki” (peak) rating among certified shops. The owner personally selects the primary cuts of Bungo beef, purchasing whole cattle every week. Bungo beef is rich in oleic acid, meaning the fat melts at room temperature, offering a distinct sweetness that is never cloying. Many diners describe the experience by saying, “The fat is sweet and melts quickly.” This meat quality is exactly why the restaurant uses a shichirin charcoal grill; the steady, gentle heat allows the fat to render slowly, bringing out both the aroma of the meat and the scent of the charcoal
The most popular item on the menu is the “Oita Wagyu Premium Sirloin” (Oita Wagyu Gokujo Sirloin). The restaurant recommends the “Wasaku style” of eating: simply sprinkle with salt and pair with wasabi. The premium sirloin has delicate marbling; when grilled until the surface is slightly charred while the inside remains tender, adding a small piece of wasabi brightens the sweetness of the fat. Other frequently ordered cuts include premium rib finger, top rib finger, middle rib finger, and hand-cut premium beef tongue. The beef tongue is thick yet not tough, with a distinct charcoal aroma. There is also premium skirt steak (Jo-harami/sagari), which has little gristle and a clean texture; many say it is the most palatable skirt steak they have had recently.
The restaurant also features a “Tsubozuke” (pot-marinated) series, such as the “Oita Wagyu Delicious Spicy Pot-Marinated Rib Finger.” The rib fingers are marinated in a special spicy miso and soy sauce, offering a garlic aroma and mild heat that pairs perfectly with white rice or alcohol. Furthermore, the menu includes Yufuin-grown shiitake mushrooms, seasonal vegetables, fresh fish, and local Oita Jidori and Gunkei chicken. Some have specifically mentioned that the Seki mackerel sashimi served at the end is highly sweet and rich in fat, making it a perfect complement to the yakiniku. The restaurant also offers a wide selection of local Oita sake and shochu from across Kyushu.
Tabelog rating is approximately 3.45, with over eighty reviews. The highlights are the consistent meat quality, the sweet fat, the aroma from the shichirin charcoal grill, and the friendly staff who never rush you. It is one of the few yakiniku restaurants in Yufuin where you can truly sit down and enjoy grilling and eating at a leisurely pace. It was once featured in the Michelin Guide Oita/Kumamoto edition. Overall spending is generally in the medium-to-high range, depending on the cuts chosen, making it a suitable choice for those looking to enjoy a proper meal of Bungo beef.
This restaurant combines “whole-carcass purchased premium Bungo beef,” “small shichirin charcoal grills,” and “simple yet precise seasoning.” Sitting down and watching that piece of premium sirloin slowly brown on the shichirin, with the fat dripping out, paired with a bite of steaming hot white rice, is the most direct charm of Shichirinyaki Wasaku. For a night in Yufuin, if you are looking for a yakiniku restaurant with a distinct character that won’t disappoint, this is a choice worth adding to your itinerary.
