Recently, I have been going to yakiniku restaurants a lot, and when I was searching, I found a new place in Imaizumi called "Nikuryoku-ya" where you can enjoy delicious yakiniku at a great cost performance. I visited the place with my children on a weekday. It is located on the first floor of a building in Tenjin Imaizumi where "Yihe Garden" is located. My husband drove us there, so we parked at a nearby coin parking lot. It seems like you can also walk there from Nishitetsu Fukuoka Station. Before entering, I noticed a poster outside the restaurant that caught my attention - it said "Receive as much meat as your age in grams during your birth month." It happened to be my son's birthday, so he could get 30g of meat for free. Quite interesting! As we entered, the staff kindly guided us. There were counter seats on the left as soon as you entered. Towards the back on the left was an open kitchen where the staff warmly welcomed us. The staff uniforms were cute and the atmosphere was very pleasant. We were guided to a table seat in the back, which was like a box seat. There were sets for children placed there, and in the middle was a grill and for some reason, a light. When I asked the staff, they explained that since the restaurant specializes in pork yakiniku, it is important to cook pork thoroughly to avoid any risks, so they made it easy to see with the light. It was quite practical. I hope to see this system in other places as well. Since pork yakiniku was recommended, I asked the staff for help with the menu as I was not familiar with the different cuts of meat. We ordered: - Special meat assortment for 990 yen - Draft beer (medium) for 450 yen - Oolong tea and orange juice for 290 yen It was great to see beer priced at 450 yen. The staff brought us shredded cabbage and dressing, saying "Cabbage is all-you-can-eat, so feel free to ask for more." A nice service. The grill was lit as soon as our drinks arrived. And soon, the meat arrived - pork tongue, jowl, heart, and diaphragm. They were quite thick cuts, and my partner mentioned that with this type of grill, the thickness of the iron plate allows the meat to cook evenly even with such thick cuts. While my partner cooked the meat, I quickly ordered other items from the menu: - Nikuryoku-ya's potato salad for 390 yen - Beef white senmai sashimi for 490 yen - Fresh organ assortment for 690 yen - Korean legendary buldak chicken for 490 yen - Shirokoro festival for 590 yen - Spicy flower intestine dance for 690 yen - Nikuryoku-ya kimchi for 430 yen - Namul assortment for 390 yen - Tanmoto yukke for 390 yen Rice and soup: - Yukkejang soup for 890 yen - Manga assortment for 830 yen (1 kg of rice) While we waited, we cooked the tongue and jowl. The tongue had a great texture and the jowl was tender with no unpleasant smell. Next, we cooked the heart and diaphragm. The diaphragm was my favorite, it had a great flavor! Even though the pork yakiniku looked meaty, it was surprisingly delicious. The potato salad arrived - shredded cabbage with pepper and cornflakes. It was delicious, and my son devoured it. The beef white senmai sashimi was dipped in a spicy vinegar miso-like sauce and eaten with cucumber, which was a tasty combination. The fresh organ assortment consisted of rare pork organs cooked at low temperature. Guts, heart, and tongue. The heart was marinated in ginger soy sauce and was flavorful without any smell. The tongue had a green onion salt sauce which added a nice crunch. The guts were served with the same spicy vinegar miso-like sauce as the beef sashimi. All the dishes were surprisingly delicious with no unpleasant smell, and the meat quality and low-temperature cooking technique were impressive! The buldak chicken was cooked in a spicy sauce and dipped in garlic mayo, which was incredibly tasty! The Tanmoto yukke was a yukke made from low-temperature cooked pork tongue, which had a delightful crunchy texture. The Nikuryoku-ya kimchi, kimchi was excellent, and the Namul assortment was a great side dish. The Yukkejang soup and manga assortment were also delicious. The manga assortment was about 4 servings of rice, and even though I have a big appetite, I managed to finish it alone. Overall, everything was surprisingly delicious, and I was impressed by the quality and taste of the food. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was pleasant. I highly recommend Nikuryoku-ya for those looking for a great yakiniku experience at a reasonable price.

First visit to the popular hormone meat restaurant "Niku Rikiya Tenjin Imaizumi" which opened on May 13, 2023, operated by D.R. Co., Ltd. This restaurant specializes in low-temperature cooked pork hormone sashimi and yakiniku. The Tenjin Imaizumi branch is the 11th branch of Niku Rikiya as a popular hormone meat restaurant, and it seems to be expanding rapidly with more branches opening. By the way, there is a restaurant called "Bar Michi" on the 1st floor of Yodobashi Camera at Hakata Station, which is also operated by D.R. Co., Ltd. There are only these two stores in Kyushu, but I really like Bar Michi and have visited it several times, so my expectations for this company and its brands are quite high, which is why I decided to visit this restaurant. The location is along Imaizumi Park West Street, just one street west of Imaizumi Park Street. If you come from the Kokutai Road side, turn south from the corner where Matsumotokiyoshi is located and walk for a while on the right side, and you will find the restaurant on the 1st floor of a dining building called i.CUBE where Yowaen is located on the 2nd floor. I parked my car in the coin parking lot on the opposite side and walked to the front of the restaurant. As soon as I entered, I saw a counter seat, an open kitchen on the left side, and table seats at the back. The overall atmosphere is retro Showa style, with posters on the walls and a color scheme that reminds me of old TV shows or movies. I was seated at a table in the middle and immediately looked at the menu. As I heard before, the prices for pork hormones are incredibly cheap. There are a wide variety of cuts, including some I had never heard of, as well as beef and chicken, and side dishes. The drinks menu is also extensive, and the overall pricing is very affordable. Moreover, there are special deals on Meat Day and birthdays. I asked the staff for recommendations and ordered one dish after another. There were dipping sauces and yannyeonjang on the table, and the yannyeonjang was spicy and delicious. First, I had the cabbage appetizer. It costs 350 yen, but it comes with dressing and you can have unlimited refills for free, which I think is great for a yakiniku restaurant. Next was the Fresh Offal Assortment. This included low-temperature cooked pork hormones, from left to right: heart, stomach, and salted tongue with green onions. I tried them with ginger soy sauce, spicy vinegar miso, and salted green onions, and they were incredibly delicious. The price of 690 yen including tax was shocking. Next was the Pork Tongue Yukhoe. This was also made with low-temperature cooked pork tongue and was very delicious. The tongue itself was tasty, and the seasoning or sauce was also great. The Beef White Tripe Sashimi was cut in a generous way, and at 490 yen, it was cheap. The Niku Rikiya's Potato Salad had cornflakes on top and was well-seasoned with mayonnaise, making it a solid and flavorful dish for 390 yen. The Beef Tendon with Ponzu Sauce was also quite large, with tender tendons and a generous amount of daikon and ponzu sauce, making it delicious. The Kimchi at Niku Rikiya was a bit like lightly pickled vegetables, but it had a rich flavor and was great as a snack, as well as with yakiniku or rice. I ended up ordering more later on. The Namul Assortment had a good amount and a nice crispy texture, for 390 yen. The Green Onion Munchee was green onions mixed in a delicious sauce, which was great with yakiniku or as a side dish. And the Manga Rice Bowl. This was a 1kg bowl of rice, priced at 830 yen, which seemed cheap for 1kg. The rice itself was delicious, so I ended up ordering more. The Solontang Soup was made from boiled beef bones and meat, giving it a unique beef flavor. It was very delicious. And the specialty Meat Assortment. From left to right: tongue, cheeks, heart, and skirt meat. The thick-cut pork and hormone meat were delicious, and we grilled them all. The tabletop grill was gas-powered, but the thick iron plate allowed the meat to cook evenly without burning the surface. *Of course, you need to move it around occasionally, or it will burn.

After returning from the beauty salon, we had dinner with the family! It was our first time visiting this restaurant because our child wanted to eat meat. We tried the recommended "Special Meat Platter," "Fresh Offal Platter," and "Garibata Harami." They were all recommended and reasonably priced, with a satisfying taste. However, we were charged about 300 yen for the appetizer, which made us feel a bit hesitant, so I rated it 4 stars.

Enjoy fresh pork at the "3000 yen all-you-can-eat" yakiniku izakaya, where you can also try a rare pork offal platter! Meat prices range from 290 yen and set courses with all-you-can-drink start from 3,980 yen. The interior has a retro Showa vibe and a counter that makes it easy for solo diners to enter! Conveniently located a 5-minute walk from Tenjin Station. - Name: Daishu Horumon Nikuryoku-ya Tenjin Imaizumi Branch - Hours: 16:00-23:00 (Last order for food 22:30, drinks 23:00) - Closed: Irregular holidays - Phone: 092-731-0229 - Location: 1-17-22 I.Cube, 1F, Imaizumi 1-17-22, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka 810-0021

No matter what you order, it's amazingly fresh and delicious, and the quality and quantity of the meat make you wonder if the price is really this good! The pork offal is a must-try, with various cuts to savor, and the beef yakiniku is also a solid choice for meat lovers. Personally, the most impressive dish was the fatty liver. It's lightly seared on the surface, and the unique texture that bursts when you bite into it is irresistible...❤️ There's no unpleasant smell, just the savory goodness of the liver, making it a must-order item at Nikuryoku-ya!! The restaurant is surprisingly spacious, with a variety of seating options from counter seats to tables, and the ventilation is good so you won't be bothered by smoke. It seems suitable for casual dining or even post-work gatherings. They have interesting events like Meat Day on the 29th of every month where the meat servings are increased by 1.5 times, and during your birthday month, you get a meat gift based on your age in grams. There are plenty of fun events, so be sure to visit at least once!! ✨

A popular yakiniku izakaya that focuses on pork hormones. I went for an early dinner since they open at 4 pm. The interior has a retro Showa era atmosphere. There are table and counter seats, and this time we were seated at a table. The drink of choice at the restaurant is Hoppy! It's not very common in Fukuoka, so I gave it a try for the first time, but it tastes similar to beer and didn't quite suit my taste as I don't drink beer much. I prefer highballs it seems. Still, low calorie, low sugar, zero purines, what a wonderful drink! Now, we ordered the recommended super meat platter, fresh organ platter, and fatty liver. The super meat platter came with pork tongue, cheeks, heart, as well as beef tongue tip, skirt, and round intestine all piled up. It's thick and has a lot of volume, very satisfying to eat! The fatty liver is prepared by wrapping the liver with caul fat after the order is placed, so it's a dish that takes some effort. When it gets a nice sear, it's ready to eat, a must-try for liver lovers. The organ platter is cooked at low temperature and served as an appetizer! I particularly liked the guts from this platter. The pork heart recommended by the staff was from the aorta area, very chewy and delicious. The cabbage appetizer is free for refills, and it goes well with the meat, so I ended up getting three refills. Of course, the rice is a must-eat too! Thanks to that, even the staff curry with lots of meat was delicious. It's relatively inexpensive to enjoy yakiniku here, so it seems like a place where anyone can have a good time regardless of age. I look forward to trying different cuts of meat next time. Thank you for the meal.

If you make a reservation on your birthday month, they will give you a present of your age multiplied by 10 grams. I had to go check it out! There is a counter, so it's easy to use even if you're dining alone. They put the sauce in a small dish with some gochujang on the side, and we're ready to go! Here it is! It's amazing! I received a lecture on the best time to eat the large pieces of meat and just enjoyed eating. The freshness really comes through. This is delicious. I had a mega highball while enjoying white raw liver sashimi, large intestine, and liver sashimi-like dishes (cooked at low temperature) to finish. The staff were friendly and the cost performance was great. Thank you for the meal.

A popular hormone yakiniku restaurant chain based in Tokyo has opened in Fukuoka. The retro Showa atmosphere inside the restaurant is charming. In Fukuoka, it is rare to find fresh pork hormones like the ones commonly seen in Kanto, and they are reasonably priced. The specialty meat platter consists of thick slices of tongue and pig's head meat with a firm and bouncy texture. It pairs well with beer. If you're unsure, you can't go wrong with this. The menu includes: specialty meat platter, salted tongue, tongue sashimi, miso cucumbers, beef kalbi, maruchou (pork intestines), pork belly, cold noodles, and vanilla ice cream. It's great that they offer sashimi options. The drink menu is also extensive. Thank you for the meal.

The interior of the restaurant was clean and had a calm atmosphere, and the staff were very friendly. There was a wide variety of menu options, and we enjoyed trying the different types of fresh hormone dishes. The grilling was done perfectly, and the juiciness and flavor spread throughout the mouth. One highly recommended dish was the hormone with secret sauce. The prices were reasonable, and the cost performance was great. We had a great time with friends and enjoyed a satisfying meal. We would definitely like to visit this restaurant again next time.

A Tokyo yakiniku restaurant has landed in Fukuoka! I am delighted with the drink-all-you-can plans with Hoppy and Kinmiya! There are three options to choose from, all of which are fantastic. The sashimi is outstanding. There are various types of sauces available for changing up the flavors. The service is excellent and very welcoming. The portions of meat are generous, providing a satisfying meal as you grill.

The new restaurant "Taishu Horumon Nikuryoku-ya Imaizumi branch" opened on 5/13, located near Imaizumi Park. It is in the same building as the Chinese restaurant Yoen in Tenjin. Their specialties include a meat platter, fatty tuna liver, pork heart, maruchou (intestines), beef tongue with salt, green onion and tripe with spicy sauce, sliced green chili peppers, lettuce, namul assortment, Nikuryoku-ya kimchi, and cold noodles. I highly recommend trying the meat platter, which is a great combination of four types of pork offal (tongue, heart, etc.). The standout dish was the fatty tuna liver, which had a unique visual presentation and was delicious. The maruchou had a nice texture, and the Nikuryoku-ya kimchi was authentically spicy. I also tried the pork heart, which had a ham-like appearance, a good chewy texture, and a light flavor. The concept of the restaurant is to enjoy fresh horumon (offal) and yakiniku for a full stomach at a reasonable price. They also offer three course options with prices ranging from 3480 yen to 4980 yen, all including a 2-hour all-you-can-drink option. It's a great place to satisfy your horumon cravings, and I look forward to returning. Great location too. Thank you for the delicious meal!

The birthday perks were so exciting! And the service from the staff was really wonderful! However... this time, we ordered a course for 3,480 yen for two people, but honestly, the amount of meat was too little, which was the most disappointing part. I understand that we receive the amount of meat based on our age for the birthday perk, so I don't expect a lot, but if this course (priced at 7,000 yen for two people with this amount) was without that, I probably wouldn't come back. That's how much of a letdown it was. *In the second photo, the meat platter shows one slice of each of the three types of meat, repeated. This was just for this occasion. It's possible that the separate meat provided for the birthday perk affected the quantity of the course, so I choose to believe that it's not normally like this. Thank you for the meal.

Solo gourmet trip in Kyushu. Kyushu is overwhelmingly known for its delicious hormone and motsu dishes. I visited Nikuryoku-ya for a solo evening drink. Later I found out they have branches in Tokyo too (lol). There is a counter in the front and table seating in the back. There is a roaster in front of you where you can grill and eat at your own pace. First, I ordered a draft beer for ¥450, Asahi. They suggested a mega size, almost made me say yes! The staff were friendly and easy to talk to, so no awkwardness dining alone. The appetizer for ¥350 is all-you-can-eat cabbage, which is great for digestion! They even provided dressing. The specialty meat platter (tongue, cheek, heart, harami) for ¥990 is also available in a solo size for ¥660, which is very considerate for solo diners. I've had pork hormone in yakitori before, but grilling it myself was a first. They guided me on how to grill and when it's ready to eat, and even provided scissors to make it easier. The kitchen staff's attentive eyes made the atmosphere cozy for a solo diner at the counter. I also tried the recommended blackboard item, otoro liver for ¥390, which turned out to be grilled liver. What? Only ¥390? This is too cheap! It was served with sesame oil and salt. When I asked, I found out that the manager insists on grilling it fresh when ordered, hence the low price. For the last order, I got the wagyu kalbi. It's normally ¥1090, but they made a solo size for ¥550! Surprisingly, the wagyu kalbi at Nikuryoku-ya in Fukuoka is made from black-haired wagyu only here! This is the charm of dining at the counter, where you can have conversations. I enjoyed the rare, tender wagyu kalbi. The drink selection is extensive, with 7 types of lemon sour alone! I tried the Italian lemon sour for ¥400, which was made with limoncello and came with lemon slices. It was amazing! I also had a tomato highball for ¥390. Overall, the prices are very affordable, making it a great place to drink and eat alone or with a group. Highly recommended. Thank you for the feast.

There are many unique and flavorful dishes on the menu, and they are reasonably priced, making you want to come back again.

There is a super affordable yakiniku restaurant in Imaizumi now! The pork hormone is ridiculously cheap. You can eat a lot and still only spend around 3000 yen. Plus, they have all-you-can-eat cabbage salad, so you can get your veggies in too.

The variety of meat options was abundant and all dishes were delicious.

All delicious!

A new restaurant has opened in Imazumi, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, and the service here is amazing! Right now, as part of the grand opening promotion, you can get a free meat platter with orders over 2500 yen until May 31st. Additionally, if you visit with someone whose birthday month it is, you can enjoy a special birthday service with a meat platter equivalent to 10 times their age (e.g. 62 years old = 620g of meat). This incredible service will continue, and on the 29th of every month (Meat Day), the meat platter will be 1.5 times larger. The cabbage salad appetizer is great because you can customize the dressing to your liking. The potato salad with cornflakes is unexpectedly delicious. The meat platter, usually priced at 990 yen, is free until May 31st with orders over 2500 yen. The various cuts of meat are of high quality and delicious. The grilled pig's feet is a rare and tasty dish. The "Manga Mori" rice dish is surprisingly large and the rice quality is good. The vegetable soup has a unique western flavor with carrots, leeks, and other main ingredients. The surprise birthday service of a meat platter equivalent to 10 times the person's age (620g) is unbelievable and definitely worth visiting for a birthday celebration. This restaurant comes highly recommended!
