Sumibiyaki Kokoro

Sumibiyaki Kokoro is a charming restaurant nestled on Surfer Street in Fujisawa, Kanagawa, just a short distance from the south exit of JR Tsujido Station. Known for its authentic Yakiniku experience, the restaurant specializes in tripe and offers a delightful array of meats, including beef, chicken, and pork. The signature Sumibiyaki Yakiniku Bento and the rich Pork Bone Soup are among the must-try dishes, along with the unique Green Curry. The restaurant's name, Sumibiyaki Kokoro, reflects its dedication to traditional charcoal grilling, utilizing Binchotan charcoal to impart a distinct flavor to its dishes. This technique enhances the taste of their award-winning pork horumon, particularly the shiro, which is complemented by a secret miso sauce. The ambiance at Sumibiyaki Kokoro is retro and cozy, providing a homey vibe that invites both regular patrons and newcomers to enjoy a relaxed dining experience. The counter seating arrangement allows for friendly interactions with the owner, who is known for her warm hospitality and skill in preparing seafood dishes. Originally called 'Shichirin,' the restaurant is now operated by regular patrons after the original owner's passing, continuing the legacy with a touch of personal flair. Sumibiyaki Kokoro also offers catering services with a food truck and sells the same high-quality charcoal used in the restaurant, making it a unique destination for Yakiniku enthusiasts.
