After the sauna club activities, I came here with a dry throat. There was a festival going on in the shopping street, it was noisy but I entered anyway. I don't have a photo, but the beer here is amazing. I drank it all in one gulp. This place is great for hormone dishes and meat, everything tastes delicious. And there's this dish called "Gossori" that everyone loves. I always forget to take photos when I drink alcohol. We ordered tripe, more Gossori, and various other dishes but it seems I forgot to take photos. Sorry about that. There were customers waiting for the 2-hour limit, so we had to finish in 2 hours. I recommend both the hormone dishes and Gossori here.

This famous restaurant in Nakano has fresh horumon delivered from the market almost every day. The Horumon Mix 200g for 990 yen is a must-try menu item. The sour drinks are mostly under 500 yen, which is quite a bold price range. If you love horumon, this is a must-visit place. They have a wide variety of menu items that are only available on that day, ranging from cost-effective horumon to high-quality meat. I fell in love with this place after just one visit! The charcoal grill is close by, making it feel wild with the heat on your face! I had been curious about this place for a while, but I had been avoiding it because it seemed expensive. However, when I saw the menu prices on the entrance sign the other day, I was surprised to see that the horumon dishes were reasonably priced, especially the Horumon Mix which was 990 yen for 200g! I decided that my next meat meal would be here and visited a few days later. This shop is known in the Nakanobu area for being both cheap and delicious! The location is a bit towards Nakanobu on Skip Road, with a red lantern as a sign. The interior is much larger than it appears from the outside. There are only table seats, but they are not the usual large tables found in yakiniku restaurants; they are small, regular tables for enjoying the food cooked on the charcoal grill. There are various types of horumon available, priced around 600 yen for 100g, which is quite cheap! The Horumon Mix is 990 yen for 200g, and if you order two plates, you might end up feeling satisfied. The drinks are also reasonably priced. Here's what I ordered: - Mix Horumon 990 yen - Senmai Sashi 770 yen - Tan Shio 740 yen - Fresh Lemon Sour 520 yen First, the Negi Salad as an appetizer was impressively large! It is dressed with a tangy dressing, meant to be eaten with the meat. The Fresh Lemon Sour comes with a whole lemon that you can squeeze yourself. Cut it in half, squeeze half for the first drink, order a highball for the second drink, and use the remaining lemon for a cost-effective option! The charcoal grill in the center of the small table is quite close to your face, making it feel hot while cooking, but it's perfect with a cold drink. The Senmai Sashi was fresh and came with a tasty sauce. The Horumon Mix varies in content daily, but it is always delicious and filling! Finally, the Tan Shio was a great way to finish the meal at 740 yen, which is quite cheap for the amount you get. I left feeling full and satisfied. The staff, known as the "Oshu-tai," were also very good. Overall, it was delicious. However, it was quite hot in there.

I was looking forward to it since it was delicious last time. I made a phone reservation about 2 hours before the visit, but when I arrived, there were only 2 seats available and one of them was quickly taken, so it was quite crowded and lively. However, because of that, it took a while for the ordered meat to arrive, as they seemed very busy. I would like to try different cuts next time. *Visited on a weekday at 7:30 PM, with a reservation. Payment method: Cash. Thank you for the meal!

I knew there was a shop here, but after hearing from a friend that it's cost-effective and delicious, I came the next day. And I'm so glad I did! The Sandmino and Malcho are amazing. The upper liver can be eaten just by lightly searing it, which is a sign of freshness! The Harami was so delicious that I ended up ordering it again. The Tan Kalbi was surprisingly thin, but that slight chewiness was just perfect. Everything I ordered was delicious, and I'm curious about other cuts as well. I'll definitely come back again! *Visited around 7 pm on a weekday, no waiting time, no line. Payment method: PayPay. Thank you for the meal!

Near Naka-Noborito Station on the Oimachi Line, there is a horumon (offal) grill restaurant located in the Naka-Noborito Arcade! I decided to try it out because it had high ratings on Tabelog (a restaurant review site)! The interior of the restaurant is not very spacious and has a traditional feel to it. It seems like they have been in business for quite a long time. The tables are placed close together, so if it's full, it can get crowded. I was seated at a table towards the back. A charcoal grill was brought to the table, and I started with a draft beer! The menu mainly focuses on horumon dishes, but they also have a variety of grilled meat options, so you can enjoy either. This time, I ordered the Wagyu horumon series, including Maruchou, Tetchan, and liver, priced around 700 yen each, which is relatively reasonable. In terms of taste, Maruchou and liver were of good quality! They were cooked just right, not too tough or too small, and very delicious. Then, I tried the Hakusai Gossori = raw hakusai kimchi! This dish is amazing! It was described as a salad, and it truly lived up to that! The raw kimchi flavor and taste were incredibly delicious! It's worth coming here just for this dish! Additionally, I had the senmai sashimi. It was fresh, and the sauce was deliciously exquisite! Overall, this horumon grill restaurant offers high-quality meat and dishes. Every item I tried had a consistent high-quality level, and I was very satisfied. I will try their grilled meat menu next time!

Hormone Center Maruchan Nakano Menu ➣ Wagyu Upper Kalbi ➣ Wagyu Kalbi ➣ Wagyu Skirt Steak ➣ Tongue ➣ Hormone Mix ➣ Yukke ➣ Gotszori (Lightly Pickled Kimchi) I recently participated in a "Maruchan-kai" event organized by a gourmet friend. I had high expectations because I heard that you can eat good quality meat at a reasonable price, and it exceeded my expectations. I visit a wide range of meat places from local yakiniku joints to high-end restaurants, but the meat here was truly impressive. The domestic Upper Kalbi and Australian Kalbi were both incredibly delicious. The Skirt Steak melted in my mouth instantly, and the Gotszori that my friend recommended beforehand was also very tasty. It was a day that made me realize the importance of having gourmet friends. I am grateful for the fortunate environment. Nearest Station: 4-5 minutes walk from Nakano Station Budget: ¥5,000-¥6,000 Closed on Wednesdays *If Wednesday is a public holiday or the day before a public holiday, the restaurant is open, and a different day will be designated as a substitute holiday.

On Saturday night, after 8:00 PM, I visited "Hormone Center Maruchan Nakaen Honten" for the first time. It seems to be a popular local spot, but I was able to enter without waiting in line. Lucky me. I ordered yukke, negitan shio, and a mix of hormones. They were all quite delicious. The hormones were marucho and liver, and they were really tasty. And then there was the beef harami. It was surprisingly tender and had a meaty flavor. The yakiniku, not just the hormones, was also of a high standard. I really enjoyed the meal. Thank you for the delicious food.

- Date and Time: Visited on a weekday at 7:30 PM with a reservation. It seems like you can also get a table without a reservation. - Food: Each dish is very generous in portion size, so it seems more cost-effective to share with 3-4 people. Each dish is well seasoned and delicious even without any additional condiments! - Recommended Dishes: - Beef Tongue (Tan) - Tan Sen (1310 yen): 15 slices. Delicious seasoning and just the right amount of fat. - Salted Beef Tongue (Tan) - Tan Chuu (1640 yen): 15 slices. Also very tasty, but even the slightly cheaper Tan Sen is just as good! - Beef Harami (Inner Skirt) - 1970 yen: A large 150g portion, about 10 slices. It has a great marbling but doesn't leave you feeling too heavy. Also delicious when marinated and grilled. - Heart (Hatsu) - 100g 650 yen: It's good, but you can do without it. - Other Dishes: - Gozzori Kimchi Assortment: A huge portion of kimchi with just the right sweetness, you can enjoy it on its own. - Upper Mino: A type of dish to eat with miso. You can also request it with salt. - Wagyu Kuppa: Contains lots of meat. - Korean Cold Noodles: A Korean style cold noodle dish. - Price: Total of 11,000 yen for two people.

I went to a local yakiniku restaurant called Maru-chan for the first time in about 3 years. Normally, it's a popular place where you can't get a table without a reservation, but this time it was surprisingly empty. I ordered a lot of cabbage, tongue with salt, beef harami, and maruchou. As always, the food was delicious! They also served a lot of green onions as a complimentary dish to eat with the meat, and the cabbage (which is like kimchi at this restaurant) was also plentiful. Even though I didn't eat much, I ended up feeling full. The cost performance is also good. This is the place to go for yakiniku in this area!

I suddenly felt like eating yakiniku and visited a shop in the shopping street with good access from the station. Since I visited alone this time, I ordered the recommended Sandmino, Maruchou, and Yukke. I first enjoyed them with salt, then grilled them with the dipping sauce. Grilling them on the charcoal grill added to the atmosphere and made them even more delicious.

This is a delicious yakiniku restaurant on the Nakanobu Skip Road. When you sit down, you are given charcoal and a shichirin grill. The appetizer is a salad with lots of green onions, which really stimulates the appetite. The yukhoe is incredibly delicious, followed by the kalbi and harami which have great meat quality. Grilling them lightly on the shichirin is so tasty! Nakanobu Banzai! The bill is also reasonable, making it a wonderful restaurant.

In yakiniku, my favorite atmosphere at a restaurant is like old-fashioned, not super clean but the atmosphere is great and the taste is excellent. The seating capacity is not large, so it often gets full during meal times. Making a reservation is recommended. The owner looks like Lily Franky.

There is a crowded yakiniku restaurant in the middle of an arcade street leading from Tokyu-Naka-Nobu Station to Ebara-Naka-Nobu Station. I invited a friend and we went there. We entered right after the opening and sat at a table in the back. It's not a fancy yakiniku place, but the menu proudly states "Japan's top quality Wagyu beef specialty store". We started with a toast with beer! We ordered hormone yaki and lean meat while looking at the menu. The charcoal was ready. We put the meat on the grill with tongs and enjoyed it with salt sauce, soy sauce, and miso sauce. Delicious! We switched from beer to a pitcher of makgeolli. We tried a variety of dishes, but the ones that left an impression were the "harami," "tongue," and "maruchou." It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. This will be the last review of 2018. Thank you for reading.

*General review Gathering of local residents! Popular yakiniku restaurant*What I ate: Tongue, crunchy, tripe, harami, raw intestine, etc.*Highlight: Cheap!*Disappointing point: Showa-era atmosphere in the restaurant (lack of cleanliness)*Impressions: This popular yakiniku restaurant is located in the Hengen shopping street. I tried to make a reservation over the phone but couldn't get through, so I decided to visit without one. Luckily, we only had to wait for one group, so we waited outside on small chairs. The exterior and interior have a Showa-era atmosphere and the restaurant is not particularly clean, but it has its charm. The restaurant is quite spacious, but there were few staff members and they seemed overwhelmed by the ringing phones. Ah, that's why they couldn't take the reservation call. The crunchy and raw intestine were delicious, but the lean meat was just average. The cost performance is good, so I will visit here when I want to eat a lot of meat. ★3 Average, I would go again if I had the chance.

This is the best. All the dishes with salt sauce are amazing.

The shop is not spacious and not exactly clean, but the prices are cheap and the freshness of the food is excellent! It may not be recommended for those looking for a fancy high-end yakiniku experience, but for those who prioritize affordability and taste, this shop is highly recommended.

Delicious.
