Where's the beef? Here's the beef - and the good stuff! Opened in May 2006, the term "shokudo" (literally diner or canteen) doesn't do justice to its stylish interior and location on Fukuoka's fashionable Keyaki-dori. The sister shop to Taigen, a high-end yakiniku (barbecue) restaurant in Maizuru, was opened to offer the same high quality beef dishes at lower prices from lunch to dinner.
