柒息地串燒居酒屋長安總店 (原柒串燒屋), Barbecue restaurant in Zhengshou Village, Taiwan.
柒息地串燒居酒屋長安總店, formerly known as 柒串燒屋, is a barbecue restaurant in Zhengshou Village, Taiwan. At the counter, rows of raw skewers with meat, seafood, vegetables, and tofu are laid out for diners to pick individually and bring to their table for grilling.
The restaurant follows Taiwan's grilling tradition that took off in the 1970s through major marketing campaigns for barbecue sauces. Since then, sharing grilled food around a table has become a common way for people across the country to eat together.
The menu features local specialties like fish cakes, deep-fried tofu skin, and blood cake that reflect everyday Taiwanese eating habits. These dishes appear alongside the grilled skewers and give a clear picture of what people in Taiwan eat on a regular day.
The ordering process is straightforward since diners choose skewers directly at the counter and pay per piece, so no complicated menu reading is needed. Coming earlier in the evening helps avoid the busiest stretches, as the place tends to fill up quickly after dinner time begins.
The restaurant changed its name but is still widely referred to by its old name, 柒串燒屋, so visitors searching for it may come across both names online. The neon-lit interior is a deliberate design choice that echoes the look of Japanese izakaya bars, even though the concept and menu are fully rooted in Taiwanese grilling culture.
