On my previous business trip to Hakata, I was introduced to this place. I couldn't forget the amazing dipping sauce for the yakiniku and the unforgettable oxtail from last time, so I decided to revisit. This time, I indulged in a variety of meats including "raw senmai," "tongue meat," "sagari," "tenderloin," "heart," "heavenly meat," "liver," as well as the highlight - the oxtail. The meat, directly delivered from Kumamoto, had a beautiful red color and well-marbled fat. The careful preparation of each cut of meat was evident, especially in the exceptional oxtail on this visit. The staff even remembered my previous visit and shyly recommended something other than meat when I asked for their suggestion. To my surprise, it was a hot pot dish called "pudechige." It was beyond amazing, almost surpassing the joy of eating the meat. The hot pot arrived with spicy ramen already in it, and it was delicious and filling. After finishing the meat, the staff suggested finishing the meal with a rice, egg, and cheese porridge, which was outstanding. This kind of evolution in the menu makes me look forward to my next visit. Every time I go to Hakata, I find it difficult to choose between trying new restaurants or revisiting this gem. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I enjoyed it again with a glass of Hoppy! Orders were placed by scanning a QR code and ordering from a smartphone, which is very advanced. It was a shame that my favorite pork intestine skewers were not available, but the freshness of the meat matched the price! It's not cheap, but I think the freshness of the meat is excellent. The staff are also friendly, making it my favorite restaurant!

It's been a while since my last visit. I think the last time I came here was right after it opened. It's only about a 3-minute walk from my house, but I haven't been here in a while lol. When I visited after a long time, I noticed that the interior of the restaurant had changed a bit. There were partitions between the tables. The menu has also changed quite a bit. There are some pretty expensive cuts of meat on there. I started with a beer to cheers. I ordered the Japanese beef upper harami and spicy hormone, along with kimchi and bean sprout namul. The spicy hormone was delicious. This time, I made a reservation online and as a service for reservations, I got a plate of additional hormone. It was lucky because I was thinking of adding it anyway! The Japanese beef upper harami was tender and very tasty. And above all, isn't this sauce making everything delicious? It's amazing. There were a lot of foreign customers as well. I remember that the prices were very reasonable the last time I visited, but now with the increase in meat quality, it feels like the prices have gone up too. I enjoyed the hormone while refreshing my mouth with a lemon sour. Thank you for the meal (^^)

You can enjoy fresh horumon in a casual setting at this restaurant. We ordered a variety of dishes, but the highlights were definitely the heart and liver. The liver, when lightly seared on the surface, retains a raw texture that is incredibly delicious! The heart has a crunchy texture that is irresistible. We finished off with a spicy hot pot. The quality of the meat varies, so it might be worth selecting carefully due to the slightly higher prices.

Today, I was in the mood for yakiniku in the afternoon! I went solo and was guided to my favorite solo seat. I started with white tongue sashimi, and then enjoyed tongue salt, harami, and yakiniku horumon with a glass of hoppy. It seems like the opening hours have changed to 12:00. It's a bit disappointing. Yakiniku Horumon at Janyoko is something I crave occasionally. I will definitely go back!

I visited this restaurant around 5:30 pm on a weekday. Since it was an early weekday time, there were no other customers, so I was able to enjoy my meal leisurely. I ordered the Jangyokumon for one person, Wagyu MIX Hormone for one person, Upper Mino for one person, Bara Kalbi for one person, extra large rice (Fuji Mountain), and oolong tea. The hormone dishes had a lot of fat, so they were tasty but a bit heavy on the stomach. The Upper Mino was a bit fatty compared to the usual lean texture. The Bara Kalbi was not very tender, but it had a chewy texture and was delicious. The extra large rice portion was decent, but adding the Fuji Mountain topping definitely increased the excitement. The sauce here was delicious! It was different from the usual barbecue sauce, with a mixture of sesame, grated garlic, chopped chives, coarsely ground chili peppers, and finely chopped onions in a small dish, topped with slightly sweet soy sauce and vinegar. With this sauce, even the fatty dishes tasted great. I enjoyed my meal, thank you. #Barbecue #Hormone #Hakata

I decided to eat to my heart's content and hopped on the Nozomi Shinkansen. With my heart dancing and my stomach rumbling, the train sped me, or rather my appetite, to the food capital. So, I took a little detour and ended up in Hakata. A friend recommended "Hormone Hakata Spring Yoshiki's Jan Yoko," so I headed there. If Hakata is known for delicious motsunabe, then its hormone dishes must be delicious too. That's a simple equation before breakfast. Phew. There are too many types of hormones here... It's amazing. From cheese tteokgalbi to pudechige... Wait, does the name of the restaurant include the word "heaven"? First, I tried the premium tongue. Is the last name Premium and the first name Tongue? The amount of juices and flavors in this meat is beyond words. The impact I received from this at the beginning awakened my stomach completely. That's how it felt. Next up were the Wagyu harami and sagari brothers, dominating my stomach with overwhelming umami. These guys have a different upbringing. It's clear at first glance from the marbling. Apparently, Wagyu is delivered fresh daily from Kumamoto. Let me say it again. Their upbringing is different. Is this really diaphragm? The sweetness and umami that make you doubt it. It's amazing. And then, I delved into the core of hormones. The shocking tail. It appeared with the heart and was a tail that I had never seen before. There was a bone in the center, with meat attached around it. That's the tail I remember. However, is this...? Are they really cutting the meat from the bone...? Is it too much trouble? I brought the carefully grilled tail to my mouth. I was lost in the unbelievable juiciness and reflexively ordered a mega highball. My cells demanded it. Honestly, my concept of tail has changed. Gatten. The memories after that are not very clear. I only remember that the hormones brought to me were delicious. And, don't forget the sauce. The sauce with gochujang, onions, and chili peppers was the key. The acidity worked well to balance out the fat in the hormones. Were you the one helping my stomach? That's how I felt. As we reached the end, what was brought to me (I caved in and ordered it) was Pudechu Middle School's Chige Paisen. It's like pajeon. Okay, listen carefully. What happens if you eat Pudechige ramen as the finale for yakiniku? Yes, you ascend, right? This is the first ascension. The first? Fukuoka First? Coach Ideguchi----no, wait. It's amazing. You add rice, egg, and cheese to the remaining soup. Then, you wait a bit. You bring it to your mouth. Yes, the second ascension. The pinnacle of two... My stomach is about to burst... Finally, we ended with creme brulee. What I remember is that no matter which part I ate, the moment I bit into it, the juices burst out. This is a sign of freshness. I'm so satisfied that I'm worried if I can handle ramen after this. (Wait, did I end with Pudechige?)

This is another quick repeat visit. The freshness of the meat is as good as ever. Especially the skirt steak is amazing. The tongue meat is also firm and delicious! The sauce really complements these meats! It's a refreshing sauce with chives, garlic, sesame, and chili pepper! This time, I enjoyed sizzling these meats while sipping on a glass of Hoppy!

This is an authentic Korean BBQ restaurant. I am not familiar with the taste of authentic Korean BBQ, so please forgive me. The staff were likely Korean as well. The sauce is great. They pour a sauce with garlic, chives, ginger, and vinegar which adds a nice acidity. As someone who came seeking the typical taste of a BBQ restaurant, I was surprised by how delicious it was. This time, I ordered beef tongue, Japanese wagyu skirt steak, Japanese wagyu chuck flap, jang yuk horumon, and beef tripe, and all of them were high-quality and delicious. I especially recommend the diaphragm. I will definitely visit again. The background music is JPOP from the Heisei to Reiwa era.

It's been a while since I visited Jan Yokosan. The meat is very fresh, with a focus on offal. The specialty is offal such as harami and sagari. What surprised me this time was the tare sauce. It's a tare sauce with sesame, garlic, chili pepper, and other ingredients mixed in ponzu sauce. It's delicious! It goes well with meat and offal, giving a refreshing taste. Hmm... this tare sauce is really delicious! I wonder if I should re-enroll at Jan Yokosan.

Today, I took a day off on a weekday and visited this place! They have a happy hour from 11:30 am to 6:30 pm, where drinks are half price. I had been planning to come here on my day off. The interior has a small counter, 4 tables, and I arrived around 5 pm, so I had the place to myself. I sat at the counter and looked at the menu. During happy hour, highballs are 50 yen, mega highballs are 90 yen, and other drinks are half off. You can order 3 plates of meat per person and up to 3 half-price drinks. Starting from 2021, it's available for parties of 2 or more. Unfortunately, I was alone, so I couldn't take advantage of the half-price beer. I ended up ordering the following: Yakiniku small intestine (530 yen), Wagyu harami (1,200 yen), kimchi (300 yen), and a draft beer (430 yen). The kimchi was lightly spicy and easy to eat. The intestine was juicy and tender with a rich flavor. The harami had a crispy texture and paired well with the beer. I couldn't resist and ended up ordering two more draft beers for a total of 3,600 yen. It would have been a great deal if the beers were half price. I'll have to come back with friends next time.

This time, I visited Jan Yokosan for the first time at night. The manager was not there again. That's not a big deal, but I found the slightly dry and salty taste of the grilled meat a bit off-putting. However, the deliciousness of the harami (skirt steak) was still top-notch! Honestly, I wish there were more beef options on the menu. I generally don't eat pork or chicken at yakiniku restaurants. I would like to try various cuts of beef, so I will be moving on after this visit. But the drink deal is great for alcohol lovers, with half-price drinks from 11:00 to 18:30 and highballs for only 50 yen.

This time, I went to Jan-Yoko at Horumon Hakata Haruyoshi located at Nakamura Building 1F, 2-16-14 Haruyoshi, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City. The atmosphere is very casual. I started with a glass of draft beer! I tried the Wagyu special sagari, Wagyu special barakarubi, salted tongue, and as snacks, cucumber and kombu. It's a place where you can enjoy by yourself. They offer a refreshing highball with strong carbonation to cleanse the richness. The quality of the meat was good. Next time, I will try the horumon as well. Thank you for the meal.

As I left the office wondering what to eat, a colleague suggested lining up at Umezumi Shokudo. I thought waiting for about 10 minutes would be okay, but when we arrived, the line was longer than usual. We quickly gave up and tried a nearby tantanmen restaurant, but even there was a line. We were almost becoming lunch refugees when I remembered this yakiniku place and decided to give it a try. The exterior was flashy, and the interior was noisy. There was a burly manager and a young woman in the kitchen. They hadn't cleaned up after the previous customers, so we were asked to share a table. There were menus all over the place with various horumon and yakiniku items, but it was unclear which were for lunch. When I asked the manager, he pointed out a tiny lunch menu on the table. Lunch options were three types, all priced at 800 yen. Mixed horumon, horumon curry, and motsunabe, but the latter two would take longer to prepare. So, I ordered the horumon curry for two, which came with soup that we had to serve ourselves. The soup tasted like wakame soup commonly found in yakiniku restaurants, but it didn't have any wakame. The curry arrived in less than 10 minutes, missing the boiled egg shown in the menu photo and instead had carrots, shimeji mushrooms, and horumon, looking very homemade. It reminded me of the curry from my high school cafeteria, very sweet and most likely made from store-bought roux. I quickly added some shichimi to spice it up, but it didn't get much spicier. The rice, labeled as (large) by default, was actually around 300g, not a significant amount. There were quite a few customers, some in work clothes grilling yakiniku and having refills of draft beer. Happy hour highballs were priced at 50 yen, and even a mega size was only 90 yen, very cheap. But I'm not sure if I would revisit this place.

I had plans near Haruyoshi, so I came back to Jan Yoko in Hakata Haruyoshi! I was already excited even before going to the restaurant because I was so impressed by this place last time - cheap and delicious, just my type of restaurant. The drink menu and side menu have increased since last time, and even after the tax increase, the prices have hardly changed, which is amazing! They also had a promotion called "Jan Jan Time," where a highball costs 50 yen, a mega jug for 90 yen, and all drinks are half price - like a dream come true! Unfortunately, I went late and missed out, but you should definitely go early to take advantage of this offer. On weekdays, it's from 5 pm to 7 pm, and on weekends and holidays, it's from 3 pm to 7 pm (!). You can really hang out here on weekends and holidays. I ordered one by one from the menu shown by the energetic female staff in addition to the menus on the table. It's exciting to try the daily specials. Thank you for having one last premium tongue left! I tried wrapping it in leeks as recommended, and it was also delicious. The meat itself is tasty, and the leek seasoning is just to my liking. The meat here is fresh and has no odor, which is really good, and it's even better that it's cheap! I was told about this place, but I don't really want to tell others about it (laughs). This is a must-visit restaurant when you come to Fukuoka. Next time, I'll try to finish work early and come to drink lots of 50 yen highballs! Thank you for the meal.

Today, I happened to pass by Haruyoshi and saw a lunch sign outside a yakiniku restaurant, so I decided to go in with my friends. The interior of the restaurant had a Showa era atmosphere. For lunch, they offered three options: hormone curry, hormone stamina set meal, and budae jjigae (Korean army stew), all priced at 800 yen including tax. We ordered the hormone curry and hormone stamina set meal. The staff kindly brought us aprons, which made us feel welcomed. Both dishes came with self-service soup. The portions were surprisingly large! The hormone curry was delicious with a balanced and flavorful curry sauce filled with hormone and meat, topped with a boiled egg. The hormone stamina set meal consisted of juicy hormone stir-fried with cabbage, onions, and leeks in a delicious sauce, served with a generous portion of rice. Both dishes were quite filling. I thought the value for money was excellent at 800 yen for such generous portions! I would love to come back for a hearty meal on another day. There was a poster in the restaurant promoting "Jajan Time" until 7 pm, offering highballs for 50 yen and other drinks at half price. I'm looking forward to coming back for dinner next time!

I always wanted to go to Jangang Yoko-san. I finally went. Isn't it the best situation to have yakiniku with a glass of Hoppy in the afternoon? The quality of the meat was excellent. The tongue was so delicious. From harami to tendon, sagari, salted hormone, and seared liver... Oh, if there was such a restaurant nearby, it would be dangerous. I might go there every day. They also have seats for one person, so maybe next time I'll visit there! Even though it's Jangang Yokocho, the freshness is outstanding! They are open from morning to closing time on weekends, so how about having yakiniku in the morning? It's in Haruyoshi, so it might be nice to stop by on the way back from Canal. I will definitely come back!

I was in the mood for some meat, so I invited a local friend to take me to a recommended place. It was a newly opened spot that was still a hidden gem, and upon arrival, I was surprised by how affordable everything was! Drinks and meat were all reasonably priced, with a wide variety available for only 380 yen each. I was worried that the drinks might be watered down at that price, but they were actually quite good. When it came to the meat, it was delicious! I tried the upper skirt and wagyu sagari, both of which were exceptional. The hormone meat here had no unpleasant odor and was sweet and tasty. The friendly staff explained that the meat is delivered fresh from the source, which makes a big difference. The lively atmosphere inside the restaurant was great, and the fact that they use a trumpet as a call bell was amusing. My friend and I enjoyed a lot of food and drinks for a total of around 6,000 yen – unbelievable value! The set courses were also affordable, the drinks were cheap, and the food was delicious. They are open all year round, so I might end up coming back here every time I'm in the area. They seem to be open for lunch as well, so that's another option to consider. I'm grateful to my friend for recommending such a great place! I'll treat next time! I'm extremely satisfied, thank you for the meal.

Solo Lunch at "Hakata Haruyoshi no Jan Yoko". Recently, I discovered this place on my commute route and it seems they have started serving lunch. I decided to try their Pudechige, which I assume is a spicy dish. The restaurant offers table seating as well as individual counter seats with a small grill. After paying 800 yen upfront, the pot arrived. It turned out to be instant noodles with cheese on the side. After a few minutes of cooking, I tried the dish. It was spicy, with a strong capsaicin kick, but still enjoyable. The ingredients included vegetables and fish sausage, which reminded me of my college days when I used to experiment with instant ramen. Overall, it was an interesting experience.

I heard that a delicious horumon yakiniku restaurant opened in Haruyoshi, so I went to try it. In a few words, it's cheap and delicious! I've been to many yakiniku restaurants in Fukuoka, but Janyoko is unlike any other. I was surprised to find a place like this. You should all try it at least once!笑

I couldn't take a photo because my phone ran out of battery, but the food was delicious! The taste and atmosphere were great, and they have a big TV so you can watch baseball while you eat.
