About this spot
Tantoro delivers authentic Sendai-style charcoal-grilled steak in the heart of Nishiki Market, where the smoky aroma of binchotan fire defines the dining experience. Expect thick cuts of wagyu that sear perfectly over open flames while retaining a juicy, buttery interior that melts on the tongue.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Tantoro' special to try the signature Sendai-style grilled beef with a rich ponzu glaze.
- Bring your own bottle of wine if you want to pair it with the charcoal-grilled meats, as the restaurant does not serve alcohol by the glass.
- Save room for the grilled scallops and squid, which are often overlooked but cooked to perfection over the hot coals.
