About this place
If liver skewers are what bring you in, the choice of seasoning is worth noting. At Shichibukai, skewers of liver, heart, skirt steak and cartilage can be ordered with salt, sauce or miso. One diner described the liver as tender and melting beneath a lightly seared surface, and found it especially good with spring onion dressed in sesame oil and salt. Liver with spring onion and sesame oil is also listed on the menu, giving liver fans another option to try.
Skewers can be ordered one at a time, according to diners, making it easy to sample a few different cuts, from meaty skirt steak and tongue to shirokoro and stomach. Chicken tenderloin comes with a choice of wasabi or plum, as well as a choice of seasoning. Stew is another dish to consider between skewers. Diners have praised its clear broth with meat and vegetables, noting that even the vegetables were delicious; others appreciated the generous amount of vegetables and gentle seasoning.
Drinks include beer, lemon highballs, sudachi and the shiso-flavoured Baisu sour, offering plenty to pair with the skewers and small plates. Kikumasamune sake is available by the one- or two-go measure, whether you are settling in for a longer drink or starting with a single serving. The restaurant is also described as suitable for solo dining; a few skewers alongside a bowl of stew make one possible combination.
