Nanzan

In Horikiri, Katsushika Ward, Yakiniku Nanzan offers an accessible and satisfying way to enjoy savory grilled meats fresh off the wire mesh alongside steaming bowls of rice. The set meals, available at lunchtime and beyond, come with rice, soup, and salad, rounding out the meal with a pleasing balance. Alongside classic kalbi and loin sets, the menu caters to different appetites and preferences with options like the stamina set—featuring beef tendon, beef kalbi, and pork belly—and a special set showcasing multiple cuts.

For grilling individual cuts à la carte, highlights include premium salted beef tongue seasoned simply to accentuate its texture, thick-cut and tender special chuck eye, and finely marbled special chuck flap. Green onion salted kalbi and a variety of offal cuts, available with either sweet-savory tare or salt seasoning, add further variety to the tabletop grill. Refreshing choregi salad, the loaded Nanzan salad, or foil-roasted garlic cloves provide a pleasant shift in texture and flavor between rich, savory bites of meat.

The menu also features an extensive lineup of soups and rice dishes that can anchor the meal or bring it to a comforting finish. Deeply rich gomguk beef bone soup and spicy daegutang can be ordered on their own or served over rice as gukbap, or with udon or ramen noodles. From piping-hot sundubu stew with options like clams or oysters to stone-pot bibimbap with its prized layer of crispy scorched rice, these nourishing dishes round out the table with warmth.
