I visited Ogawa Shoten, a restaurant famous for its delicious hormone (offal) and grilled meat. I sat at the counter and received an explanation about the menu (hiragana for pork and katakana for beef) from the staff. This time, I ordered their recommended salt-based motsuni (stewed offal). I usually associate motsuni with miso, but this one is simply seasoned with salt. The fresh offal is simmered patiently, making it tender with a rich flavor that is really delicious. The simmered pig's feet were also visually appealing, full of collagen and wonderfully gelatinous, melting in the mouth. After that, I moved on to the beef. I ordered three types of hormone, salt tongue, harami, and tsurami. The freshness was excellent, and there was no off-putting smell at all. The sauces were tasty, making it easy to enjoy with rice. I also tried the "Ogawa Genki Harami," which had a generous amount of garlic and onions mixed in. After grilling, I understood why they said no sauce was needed; it had a powerful taste that seemed to fill me with energy. The staff moved efficiently, which was great. The quality of the meat is high, and the cost-performance is excellent. I will definitely visit again when I want to replenish my stamina in Tennoji.

Just a short distance from Abe-no Station and about a 5-minute walk from Tennoji Station, this yakiniku restaurant has a great atmosphere with only counter seating on the first floor and table seating on the second. As soon as you enter through the glass door, there’s a welcoming setup with chairs! You can enjoy a variety of cuts of beef and pork, including lean meat and offal, grilled over a shichirin (a small charcoal grill). Here's the menu: - Salted Offal Stew (450 yen) - Tender Pork Feet (450 yen) - Ogawa's Special Harami (600 yen) - Negi Tamare (Rare Beef Tartare with Green Onions) (1200 yen) - Heaping Green Onion Salted Tongue (1200 yen) - Assorted Offal (3 types) (700 yen) - Special Upper Triangle Rib (1600 yen) Drink options include: - Whole Frozen Lemon Highball (500 yen) - Coke Highball (450 yen) First, we tried the signature dish, the Salted Offal Stew, which is carefully simmered for hours, highlighting the quality of the ingredients with a simple salt seasoning. The broth is rich and delicious! The Tender Pork Feet, cooked for six hours, melts in your mouth, and you can really feel the collagen in each bite. For grilled dishes, we had Ogawa's Special Harami, which is a thick cut of beef rib with heaps of garlic – a must for garlic lovers! The Tennoji-exclusive Negi Tamare offered a unique twist on traditional tartare, with a generous layer of green onion paste and a rich egg yolk spread on top, enjoyed wrapped in Korean seaweed. Next up was the Heaping Green Onion Salted Tongue, thinly sliced and topped with a mountain of green onions – definitely a delicious pick! You can grill it however you like, though the onions seem to fall off every time. The Assorted Offal plate included Marucho, Hachinosu, and Paipu, giving a little taste of each! The familiar sweetness of Marucho fat, the chewiness and flavor of Hachinosu, and the first-time experience of Paipu, which has a nice crunchy texture, was delightful. We also tried the Special Upper Triangle Rib, an elegantly marbled cut that looks stunning and is incredibly tender! A touch of grated wasabi enhances the flavor beautifully. Although I wanted to try more, like the signature beef bone ramen, each dish was so substantial that I was completely full! The restaurant is lively and the staff are very friendly. They offer not only the standard yakiniku menu but also a rich selection of original special dishes, allowing you to enjoy high-quality meat at reasonable prices!

I heard there’s a place about a 5-minute walk from Tennoji Station where you can eat fresh hormone (offal), so I went to check it out. They source their ingredients through a unique route every day, which definitely means it will be delicious. Plus, because they focus on freshness, they don’t freeze their meat. My expectations were through the roof! **What I ordered:** - **Salted Motsuni**: This motsuni (offal stew) has a light salt-based broth that offers an elegant flavor. - **Tender Pork Feet**: I was a bit hesitant about pork feet since I’d never tried them before, but there was no unpleasant smell at all. The meat was tender and had a delightful texture; it was incredibly delicious. I recommend it even to those who are typically not fans of pork feet. - **Namul Assortment**. - **Fresh Raw Senmai**: It was so fresh with no unpleasant smell, and the unique crunchy texture of raw senmai was simply delicious. I devoured it quickly. - **Chanja**. - **Energetic Harami**: It was generously topped with chopped garlic, and true to its name, it had a revitalizing flavor that made me feel energetic. The harami was also soft and of high quality. - **Mega Marucho**: This was one dish I absolutely wanted to order when I came here. It was plump and juicy with a sweet fat content; incredibly delicious. - **Necktie**, **Urute**, and **Upper Mino**: I asked the staff for their recommended offal, and these three items were great choices. I tried necktie and urute for the first time; they had a nice texture that I really enjoy. I visited on a weekday evening, and the place quickly filled up with customers coming in one after another, almost reaching full capacity. It makes sense why this place is popular, as you can enjoy fresh hormone at a very reasonable price. There are many other menu items I'd like to try, so I plan to visit again!

The freshness of the delicious meat and offal is outstanding! This is an incredibly cost-effective restaurant that you can easily visit. The meat and offal grilled over charcoal are just irresistible. Here’s what I tried: - **Mega Maruchan (1,000 yen)**: A long maruchan that is grilled whole without being cut. It captures all its flavors and juiciness, bursting with taste and juicy fat as soon as you bite into it. - **Negi Shio Ninniku Gatsu Shin (600 yen)**: Freshly sourced every morning, this plump gatsu shin is addictive with plenty of green onions and garlic. - **Akakara Kocho (600 yen)**: Plump and fresh small intestines seasoned with spicy Korean green and red peppers; it’s a delicious flavor that makes you want to keep drinking. - **Kashira (300 yen)**: The cheek part of black pork, with a crunchy texture that offers rich flavors the more you chew. - **Koku Uma Shio Motsu Nikomi (450 yen)**: A tender and flavorful offal stew simmered thoroughly. Its ability to shine with just salt proves the freshness and deliciousness. - **6-Hour Simmered Torotoro Butaashi (450 yen)**: Super soft, collagen-packed pig trotters that are at a drinking-level of deliciousness; highly recommended! - **Negi Tama Rea Yukke (1,200 yen)**: A visually stunning yukke topped with rich egg yolk and green onions. Eating it with Korean seaweed enhances the flavor further. - **Doka Mori Negi Shio Tan (1,200 yen)**: A delight for green onion lovers, this salt-grilled tongue is generously wrapped in abundant green onions. - **Wagyu Misujioroshi Ponzu (1,200 yen)**: Lightly seared wagyu misuji served with ponzu sauce; it has a perfect balance of flavor and fat that makes you want to keep eating. I was amazed that offal could be this delicious! Plus, it’s super affordable, so I’m likely to return. It’s conveniently located near the station, making it ideal for casual visits, dates, or gatherings with friends. The restaurant has a nostalgic vibe that feels cozy, and the service was great. Thank you for the wonderful meal! **Horomon Niku Danya Ogawa Shoten, Tennoji** Osaka Prefecture, Osaka City, Abeno Ward, Abenosuji 2-4-57

I went with a friend who loves BBQ to Ogawa Shoten, a hormone (offal) meat shop located about a 10-minute walk from JR Tennoji Station. Since it’s close to the station, we arrived without getting lost. From the outside, we could see two-person tables and counter seats, and I heard there’s also a second floor. Once we sat down, I noticed many bottles of high-quality ginseng in front of us. I was really curious, but first, we ordered a beer. There’s nothing better than a beer after work! Although it was getting cooler outside, I quickly downed a cold beer. Then, we carefully looked over the menu, which featured the restaurant's recommended dishes. We decided to start with the rich and flavorful salted motsu (offal) stew and the melt-in-your-mouth trotters. It was my first time trying salted motsu stew, as it’s usually made with a lot of miso. The salted version was light and refreshing, with different kinds of motsu that were very tender. Even my friend, who usually doesn’t eat motsu, praised it for being delicious. The ingredients are high-quality, and it truly was an amazing dish. The trotters were also simmered for six hours and were incredibly tender—so soft you could say they were almost jelly-like. The flavor was light, and you could eat as much as you wanted. They’re full of collagen, making them a hit with the ladies! They slide right off the bone, making them easy to eat. I even told the owner that I would love to have rice or somen noodles in the soup of the salted motsu stew and trotters. I really wanted to order rice, but I held back since I wanted to try many other dishes this time. I’ll save that for next time! Next, we had something I love—fresh heart meat. It was really thick and had no unpleasant smell, allowing us to enjoy it endlessly. My friend also loved it and was eating a lot. Eating it with chopped green onions and angled onions elevated the flavors even more. We then decided to get some vegetables, so we ordered bean sprout namul, which was a nice palate cleanser. We switched our drink to a small kettle of makkoli since drinking too much beer fills our stomachs quickly. A cute kettle arrived, giving off a nostalgic Showa vibe, reminding me of my grandfather placing a kettle filled with water on an oil stove to make warm sake. It was lovely. Makkoli was delicious! If we had more people, a larger kettle would be great. For the meats, we ordered salted tongue and tenderloin. The salted tongue was delicious and disappeared quickly. The tenderloin was incredibly soft and very easy to eat. Then we had the “Ogawa Genki Harami” which is thickly marinated in garlic, green onions, and onions, making it great to eat without further cooking. The garlic packed a punch, really boosting our energy and making fatigue melt away. The flavor was addictive, and it paired well with drinks. Next, we couldn’t resist ordering the ‘negishio pipe’ from the daily specials. When I asked what it was, I learned it was black pork’s blood vessels. It was fascinating! These blood vessels were really thick, with a crunchy texture that was delicious. I grilled them with the included negi (green onions) for added flavor. If you like crunchy textures, you should definitely try this. Then we enjoyed the ‘phantom liver.’ I’m a big fan of liver, and this one was great. Just lightly grilled, it was fluffy and had no odor. Even those who usually dislike liver could probably enjoy this! To finish off, I ordered another round of salted tongue. Clearly, I can’t get enough of it! We ended the meal with vanilla ice cream topped with black syrup and kinako (roasted soybean flour), which tasted amazing after eating all that meat. This time, our total bill was just under 9,000 yen. Considering how much we ate and drank, it was incredibly cheap. It’s a great place for anyone trying hormone dishes for the first time. I’d love to try their homemade ginseng liquor next time. The owner and staff were friendly, making it a great spot even if you go alone! Thank you for the meal!

If you're looking to eat hormons in Tennoji, this might be the place! It's delicious. The hormons are really tasty! There are seats on the second floor too, and I happened to walk in without a reservation and got a spot. It's a popular restaurant, so I recommend making a reservation. The atmosphere inside is lively, and the service is great and energetic. I definitely want to visit this place again when I'm nearby.

It’s about a 10-minute walk from JR Tennoji Station to Hormone Meat Wholesale Ogawa Shoten, where I went with my son, who loves barbecue. Since the restaurant is close to the station, we arrived without getting lost. From the outside, we could see two-person tables and counter seats. There’s also an upstairs seating area. Once we sat down, I noticed a lot of bottles with Korean ginseng in front of us, which caught my attention, but first, we ordered some beer. My son enjoys vinegar drinks, so he got an apple vinegar soda. There's nothing quite like a cold beer after work! We then took our time to look at the menu. The restaurant had some recommended dishes, so we started with the rich and flavorful salt-mixed motsu (offal) stew and the melt-in-your-mouth pig’s trotter. I’d never tried salt motsu stew before. Usually, motsu stew is heavy on miso, but this salt version was light and refreshing. It had various types of motsu that were perfectly tender. Even my son, who doesn’t usually eat motsu, praised it as delicious. It was genuinely a fantastic dish that showcased the quality of the ingredients. The pig’s trotter was boiled for six hours, making it incredibly tender. The flavor was light, and I could eat it endlessly. I mentioned to the chef on the way out that I would have loved to add rice or somen noodles to the broth of the salt motsu stew and pig’s trotter for another level of enjoyment. I really wanted to order rice, but I had to hold back since I wanted to try plenty of other dishes—definitely for next time! Next, we ordered fresh raw heart meat, which my son loves. It was thick, without any unpleasant smell, and incredibly delicious. My son enjoyed it so much he couldn’t get enough. Eating it with chopped green onions and scallions made it even better. We then needed some veggies, so we ordered bean sprout namul, which was a nice palate cleanser. I switched to a small kettle of makkoli because drinking beer filled me up too much! The adorable kettle that arrived had a retro vibe, reminiscent of the one my grandfather used to heat sake on the stove. It was perfect! The makkoli was delightful. If there were more people, the larger kettle would be fun too. As for the meat, my son loves salt tongue, and he practically ate most of it by himself. The loin came next, and it was so tender that you could eat as much as you wanted. Then came the Ogawa Genki Harami, which was generously seasoned with garlic and mixed with green onions and scallions. You can eat it right after grilling. The garlic definitely gave us a boost! Since my son is still a kid, I let him have just a bit, with the rest paired with my makkoli. It was a flavor that could become addictive, making me want to drink more. We also tried the “negi shio pipe,” which was listed on the daily specials. I learned that it’s made from the blood vessels of black pork, and they are surprisingly thick. The texture was crunchy and tasty! I grilled it with some green onions and it elevated the flavor even more. If you enjoy crunchy textures, you have to try this dish! Then we had the elusive liver, which our family loves. It was so good that you could eat it as it was, but we quickly grilled it. It was fluffy and free of any smell, making it perfect even for those who usually dislike liver. I highly recommend trying it! My son ordered more salt tongue. He really loved it and couldn’t stop saying how good it was. To finish off the meal, my son requested the vanilla ice cream topped with black syrup and kinako (roasted soybean flour). It was the perfect ending! Our total bill came to just under 9,000 yen. For all that we ate and drank, it was an incredible bargain. This place is great for beginners to offal as well. It’s a spot where you can enjoy delicious food at a reasonable price. I can’t wait to try their homemade ginseng liquor next time! Both the chef and staff were friendly, making it a comfortable place to visit alone as well. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I visited with my colleagues, and we tried one of the specialties, the Ogawa Genki Harami! The upper harami is delicious too, but this one is packed with garlic, and the moment you take a bite, you can really taste the garlic, which enhances the flavor immensely.✨ While garlic can be strong in smell, I didn't notice any bad breath the next day at all! 😂 Garlic is not only appetizing but also great for fatigue recovery. The tripe stew was well-cooked, soaking up the flavors and was very tasty! Today's recommended upper kalbi had a rich fat content, really giving that grill meat experience. I enjoyed it with rice!

The meat was delicious overall. The top kalbi, loin, and top mino were especially good for the price. Other places I've tried serve loin that is often dry and tough, but the loin here was surprisingly tender. The way the top mino was sliced was also excellent; it didn't linger in the mouth and I enjoyed it greatly. I highly recommend this place. However, I ordered both large and medium rice, but it was mushy and clumped together, making it quite difficult to eat. It didn't pair well with the meat at all. Be careful when ordering.

I made a reservation at 7 PM on a weekday. The restaurant was almost full. It's not very spacious, so I recommend making a reservation before visiting. After enjoying plenty of garlic-filled offal and lean meats grilled on a tabletop charcoal grill, I finished off with cold noodles! It was delicious!

Today, I visited Ogawa Shoten Tennoji, a meat wholesaler located about a 5-minute walk from Osaka Tennoji Station in Abeno Ward, Osaka City, known for its excellent accessibility! This is an authentic barbecue restaurant where you can grill over charcoal. Here’s what I tried: - **Braised Pork Feet** ¥450: Cooked for an incredible 6 hours! Not only is the meat tender, but the broth is also rich and delicious! - **Delicious Salted Offal Stew** ¥450: A dish made with fresh offal that’s simmered slowly and carefully! It pairs perfectly with beer! - **Fresh Raw Senmai**: I enjoyed raw senmai dipped in homemade chojang sauce! Both the texture and flavor were outstanding! - **Garlic-Mixed Ogawa Harami** ¥600: Next, I had grilled harami! After a long day, the robust garlic flavor packs a punch and gives you a boost of stamina! - **Collagen** ¥440: Made from the cow's aorta, this dish is appropriately named, as it's crunchy. However, here it’s thicker than at other places, making it very satisfying! I enjoyed it with chopped salted kelp. - **Toro Geta Kalbi** ¥1,100 & **Premium Harami** ¥1,320: The Toro Geta Kalbi on the top is thick and remarkably tender and juicy, while the Premium Harami is soft red meat that has a great chew to it, making it addictive! - **Tsurami** ¥660: This is cheek meat from the pig. It was my first time trying it, and I found it to be rich and well-suited to the sauce, which made me eat it without stopping! - **Bean Sprout Namul** ¥385: As I was starting to feel full, I decided to finish with some vegetables. Unlike many places where namul is overcooked, the bean sprouts here were crunchy and well-seasoned so they were delicious! This was my first visit, and everything was great! The taste, portion size, and price offered excellent cost performance! I would love to visit again! Thank you for the wonderful meal today!

After work, I went to Ogawa Shoten in Tennoji for yakiniku with Y-Zawa ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ. This was my first visit since the location in Tenma. They serve small portions, allowing you to enjoy a variety of cuts, which I personally appreciate! This time, I had a strong craving for the savory taste of offal and the rich fat melting in my mouth, followed by a refreshing lemon sour to wash it all down, so I decided to go for it! ( ﾟДﾟ) Here I come!!! Of course, I ordered the maruchan (intestines)! I also got salted offal stew, harami (skirt steak), and hearts among others. Today, I opted for a mega lemon sour! ( ﾟДﾟ)ノ Cheers!!! At just 600 yen, it's affordable and a good amount, perfect for complementing the maruchan! ( ﾟДﾟ) Ahhhh!!! ( ﾟДﾟ) Ahhhh!!! ( ﾟДﾟ) Ahhhh!!! I was all set to enjoy my meal! First, the famous salted offal stew arrived! It was incredibly tender and had a light taste ( ﾟДﾟ) Yum!!! I thought I could even enjoy it as a tea rice! (laughs) It was that light and delicious! Next up, harami and belly! The harami had a nice elasticity, was free of odor, and very easy to eat! The belly was rich with fat and packed a punch. I devoured it alongside some rice ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ. And then came the maruchan! Hearts! And mino (tripe)! When the maruchan is grilled well and dipped in sauce, the rich fat explodes with flavor!! Washing it down with lemon sour was immensely refreshing (´▽`) What’s this!!! The heart and upper mino also had a great texture and paired well with the drinks! I noticed that the marinade was delicious and had soaked in well ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ. Thank you for the meal!

I started to really appreciate offal around my 30s. While well-marbled meat is delicious, I've been in the mood for fresh offal without any unpleasant smell lately. Here’s what I ordered: - Choregi salad - Marinated garlic and green onion harami, which was tender and delicious. It’s recommended by the restaurant. - Salted beef offal stew, cooked well to make it incredibly tender. - Tender pork trotters. - Rare yukhoe with green onion and egg yolk instead of the usual sauce, making it visually stunning. - Spicy small intestines seasoned with red chili. It had a good amount of fat, which complemented the spiciness nicely. - Ulte, which is my favorite. I love to mix it with the sauce. - Roast beef. - Sliced tomatoes. - Yukhoe and rice soup, which surprisingly was quite light and really delicious; the balance of broth and seasoning was top-notch! The selection of offal was really extensive! They had quite a variety not only of beef but also of pork. Since we came with just two people this time, we couldn't enjoy many types, but next time I want to bring a few more people and try everything! ♪

I visited Ogawa Shouten, a hormone meat wholesaler, located about a 5-minute walk from Tennoji Station, which has great access! It's a famous place with branches in various locations, so I had been wanting to check it out. The interior features a counter and a couple's table on the first floor, plus five tables for 4 to 6 people on the second floor, providing plenty of space! I made a reservation for Thursday at 6:30 PM, and the first floor was completely full! The second floor was almost fully booked as well, so it's pretty popular! Definitely a must to make a reservation when you go! I can only imagine that there might be a line on weekends as I entered. To reach the second floor, you need to go up a separate staircase outside the restaurant. Here’s what I ordered today: - Tender Pork Legs: 450 yen - Salted Offal Stew: 450 yen - Kimchi Platter: 550 yen - Ogawa Genki Harami: 600 yen - Salted Tongue: 1000 yen - Premium Harami: 1200 yen - Ulte (Pork Esophagus): 500 yen - Red Spicy Small Intestines: 600 yen - Chorizo: 400 yen - Beef Bone Ramen: 700 yen The portions seem to be a bit generous for one person, so although I didn’t order a lot of different dishes, I was surprisingly full! They have a wide variety of delicious offal! The pork feet and offal stew were particularly good! You might want to try adding shichimi (seven spice) for a kick to the stew! The meat with the sauce would pair well with white rice! It's rich but not overwhelming, so I could gobble it up easily! I wanted to save room for ramen for the finish, so I resisted ordering rice this time. The ramen was the perfect light finish, just right in volume to share between two people! According to reviews, the cutting style of the meat varies by location, so I plan to visit other branches to try their offerings too! Everything was incredibly delicious! Thank you for the meal!

I finally got the chance to visit Ogawa Shoten, which has recently opened in various locations! The restaurant had a tidy atmosphere while also giving off the vibe of a popular, casual yakiniku place, which I really liked. It seems to be quite popular, and I saw customers without reservations being turned away, so I definitely recommend making a reservation. Once seated, they brought in a charcoal grill, adding to the authentic experience. On the day I visited, I ordered several items: - The restaurant's signature, Negitama Rare Yukhoe - Rich and delicious Shio Motsu Nikomi - Garlic-filled Ogawa Genki Harami - Chef's choice of assorted hormones (including Techan, Akasenmai, and Hatumoto) - The premium Harami Yukhoe, which they suggested to mash with butter like spreading it on bread and enjoy with nori. Everything was incredibly delicious! Particularly, the Genki Harami was outstanding. The combination of garlic and tender harami was exquisite! Of course, the other meats were large, thick, and tasty as well. The staff seemed quite busy, but they were all very friendly and made for a pleasant experience. I would definitely like to visit again!

【Ordered Menu】Kimchi Platter 550 yen, Green Onion and Rare Yukhoe 1200 yen, Assorted 5 Types of Hormone 1200 yen, Ogawa Genki Harami 600 yen, Premium Sanraku Bara 1500 yen, Tail Slice 600 yen, Tan Kalbi 500 yen, Sausage 400 yen, Large Rice 400 yen (all prices before tax). The restaurant is a 2-minute walk from Osaka Metro Abeno Station and about a 5-minute walk from Tennoji Station. It is located in a back alley across from Abeno Q's Mall, in the Abeno Suji 2-chome East Shopping Street. This is a direct-operated yakiniku restaurant from a meat wholesaler. The interior features counter and table seating on the first floor, with more table seating on the second floor. The atmosphere is somewhat nostalgic and reminiscent of old-fashioned town yakiniku places, with some haze in the air, but it is clean and well-maintained. Shortly after being seated, a charcoal grill was brought to our table. The Ogawa Genki Harami was seasoned with plenty of garlic and salt, providing a robust flavor that paired wonderfully with both alcohol and rice. The Sanraku Bara was tender with a good amount of fat, and when grilled until slightly charred, the juicy fat and sweetness emerged beautifully. The Assorted 5 Types of Hormone included Urute, Hachinosu, Red Sen, Liver, and Techan, all generously drizzled with a sweet and spicy sauce. There was hardly any odor, and the freshness was evident! Each piece was a decent size, providing a satisfying and delicious experience. Especially noteworthy was the freshness of the hormone, benefiting from being directly operated by a meat wholesaler. There are over 20 different types of cuts available, including some that are not commonly seen, making me eager to return and try the ones I missed. I visited on a Friday evening, and the restaurant was constantly packed. Several walk-in customers were turned away, so it’s recommended to make a reservation. Thank you for the meal!

I slightly underestimated this place 😂 It's a super affordable yakiniku restaurant with generous portions that are absolutely delicious! Let me introduce you to it: it's the Hormone Meat Dealer Ogawa Shoten in Tennoji! ✨ They have multiple locations in Osaka, and although I've been here a few times, I thought it was just another ordinary yakiniku place. But wait! It's incredibly tasty! This time, I want to share my experience at Ogawa Shoten. It's conveniently located close to Tennoji and Abeno stations. The restaurant has two floors, and even on a weekday, it was fully packed, which shows its popularity! We chose the following dishes ✨✨: - Rare Yukhoe with Green Onion: ¥1200 - Ogawa's Selected Salt Hormone Platter: ¥1200 - Premium Ribeye: ¥1200 - Ogawa's Healthy Skirt Steak: ¥600 - Cold Noodles: ¥800 - Special Meat (the day's recommendation): - Special Triangle Brisket: ¥1500 - Special Sirloin: ¥1500 - The rare yukhoe is cut very finely, which is different from other places. The green onion sauce on top adds a great accent, making it flavorful without being too rich. I've never tasted anything like it—it's delicious! - The salt hormone platter showcases the quality of the hormones, consisting of crunchy parts, pipe, beef intestine, neck, and stomach. I really enjoyed the beef intestine and neck, as they were easy to eat and had just the right amount of fat. - The healthy skirt steak was surprisingly generous for just ¥600. It's perfect for lunch; it could easily fill you, especially if you add rice and soup. The garlic flavor was strong, and the unique diamond-cut method made it mix well with the sauce. It was truly delicious! - The special sirloin? Well, it’s impossible for it to be bad—it melts in your mouth instantly 😂 - The cold noodles were meant as a finishing dish, and they surprisingly had a distinct flavor compared to the usual ones. I can't quite put my finger on it, but they were unexpectedly good! Overall, the quality of all the dishes was very high. Even though the skirt steak and hormones are quite affordable, considering the quality and portion size of the red meat, the prices are reasonable. I found myself saying “delicious” the whole time! I will definitely visit again!

Recently, I've heard that Ogawa Shoten has opened in Tennoji, so I thought I would check it out after visiting Isshinji Temple. I arrived at the restaurant a little before the reserved opening time of 5 PM, and there were already groups of women eagerly waiting for the doors to open! I've heard that female interest is quite high, but seeing it in person was surprising! After opening, customers continuously streamed in, and the restaurant was quickly full. After that, many people were turned away... I'm really glad I made a reservation! At the counter, there was a charcoal grill set up and ready to go! ★ Draft Beer (Medium) ¥528 We kicked things off with a toast over beer and highball! ★ Kimchi (白菜キムチ) ¥385 This kimchi was delicious! It had a perfect balance of spiciness and sweetness, making it a great snack for beer! ★ Salted Beef Tongue (塩タン) ¥1100 Of course, we had to start with salted tongue! The size was just right, and it was delicious as always. Squeezing some lemon on it made it go perfectly with the beer! I quickly ordered another beer! ★ Assorted Namul (ナムル盛り) ¥605 I thought about getting a salad, but when it comes to yakiniku, namul is essential! The bean sprouts, spinach, and fern root were delicious, making this a great choice! ★ Rare Green Onion Yukhoe (ネギレアユッケ) ¥1320 This was a must-order dish for me! It was topped generously with green onions, and the flavor was fantastic—especially with the little kick from the pickled garlic! Wrapping it in Korean seaweed and taking a bite made me want another beer! ★ Rice (ライス) ¥275 My friend couldn't resist ordering rice, and they enjoyed it with the meat. I decided to skip the rice to save room for more dishes... ★ Ogawa Genki Harami (小川元気ハラミ) ¥660 We had to try the restaurant's recommended Ogawa Genki Harami! It was loaded with garlic and green onions, almost hiding the meat! This was definitely a stamina booster! After grilling it nicely, I added some seven spice—wow, that was delicious! The beer kept flowing! ★ Spicy Pork Intestines (赤から小腸) ¥660 My friend ordered this one; I just watched. They said it was "delicious enough to make you want more drinks!" ★ Legendary Liver (幻のレバー) ¥660 The liver looked super fresh! I love liver, so I couldn't wait for it to finish cooking. I made sure to grill it well and took a bite... oh my goodness, it was delicious! I could easily eat a whole plate myself! Another beer, please! ★ Cold Noodles (冷麺) ¥880 There was a small size available, but since we wanted to share, we ordered the regular size! I was told the cold noodles would take some time, so I ordered "Top Round" at the same time to wait for the cold noodles... However, the cold noodles arrived sooner than expected! Lucky us! But then, I thought maybe we could skip the "Top Round," but since it was already in preparation, I checked with the staff, and they said it was fine to cancel. Thank you! The staff here was very polite and friendly, making the dining experience enjoyable. But of course, we don’t want to abuse that kindness! We enjoyed the cold noodles as the perfect finish to a satisfying yakiniku dinner! Thankful for the staff, the restaurant, the dishes, the yakiniku, the offals, and the great value! Thank you for an amazing meal!

The first floor has a counter, and the second floor has table seating. On weekends, you can enjoy drinks during lunch. -Menu- ☑︎ Negitama Rare Yukke ¥1320 ☑︎ Large Serving of Negi Shio Tan ¥1320 ☑︎ Fresh Heart ¥500 ☑︎ Special Select Sanmitsu Bara ¥1500 ☑︎ Salted Tongue ¥1000 ☑︎ Premium Hanging Tender ¥1200 ☑︎ Premium Beef Rib ¥1200 ☑︎ Tetchan ¥600 ☑︎ Premium Tripe ¥600 ☑︎ Lettuce ¥350. There is an incredibly rich variety of hormone dishes✨ The premium hanging tender at this price with such quality meat is quite impressive! It’s affordable and you can enjoy delicious yakiniku, plus the staff are friendly and provide energetic service.

It just opened on August 1, but the place is packed! I made a reservation to come back in an hour, and I killed time at Q's Mall before heading there. They offer a variety of fresh, non-frozen hormones at reasonable prices. While cheap all-you-can-eat places often serve subpar meat, this yakiniku restaurant is perfect for those times when you want something better but don't feel like splurging at a high-end place. The pig's trotters, cooked until tender so the bones come off easily, are delicious, and everything pairs well with beer. The final drink isn't particularly great, but I chose the original ginseng liquor for health reasons, as a way to atone for my indulgence. For the closing dish, I went with the recommended beef bone ramen from the owner. Strolling aimlessly around Q's Mall was definitely worth it! The first and seventh images are of mega large intestines. Just a heads-up, they definitely ignite when you grill them, so be careful!
