There is no menu, only drinks can be ordered. Food is call-based, with no prices listed. You can also bring your own rice. When you call, a platter of hormone and onions is brought to you. It's a lot of food for just around a thousand yen. There are no condiments on the table. It's a very simple restaurant. This time, only stomach and liver are served. Cook the hormone on a real charcoal grill to your liking. It's seasoned with salt and pepper, so you can eat it as is. There is no odor, and the seasoning is just right. The chewy, juicy hormone has its own unique umami flavor that you can really enjoy.

I went there for the first time in about 5 years. The customer service seemed to have improved a bit. We ordered two servings, Sapporo Classic beer, and plum shochu. It cost a little over 2000 yen. The taste was good, but the restaurant used to be noisy and bothersome, so I stopped going. However, when I visited after a long time, they didn't say anything about ordering two servings, and other customers were not questioned when they asked for refills. I had a pleasant time drinking and eating without any unpleasant experiences, maybe because the staff has changed. I was surprised when they asked if we wanted a refill when our plates were empty. The whole experience, from entering the restaurant to the service, seemed to have changed for the better. I might go again.

I visited the restaurant on Friday around 6 pm. It was recommended by a senior colleague who was in Asahikawa, and three of us went together. The restaurant was packed, and we had to wait for about 5-6 minutes before being seated. We started by ordering drinks. I ordered a bottle of beer after looking at the options in the case, and shortly after, hormone and onions were served. It was probably enough for three people. A charcoal grill was placed on the table, and we followed the lead of those around us in grilling the meat. I wasn't sure how long to cook the hormone, but I tried it well-done. It was originally seasoned with salt, and the more I ate, the more I couldn't stop because of its deliciousness. There were various cuts of meat, so even if you're picky, you can enjoy it by choosing the right cut. There were two staff members, but it seemed like some regular customers were helping out, creating a relaxed and casual atmosphere. There were reservations from 7 pm, so it seemed challenging to provide a lot of hormone, but we ordered an additional serving. We also ordered cider, canned oolong tea, and two canned highballs, totaling 4400 yen. It was definitely a great deal. More than half of the customers were locals, and there were also many takeout orders. I now understand why I wanted to experience this atmosphere at least once. Thank you for the meal.

Asahikawa City, 7-Jo Street area. ◇ Business hours 16:30-20:00 last entry ◇ Closed on Sundays, and others ◇ No parking lot, cash payment only, no reservations, takeout available This restaurant has been selected as one of the top 100 yakiniku restaurants on Tabelog. It is the only restaurant in Hokkaido apart from the 10 in Sapporo. Although I have had many opportunities to visit before, today was my first visit! Known by everyone in Asahikawa, Babahormone is a famous restaurant. I had planned to visit before, but my companion couldn't eat hormones because they didn't know when to swallow, so I had to give up. When I entered at 5:00, there were already customers inside enjoying beer. The regulars were sitting at the counter, and although I was alone, I was guided to a table seat. I chose Asahi beer. However, there were no menus, no sauce, no seasonings, no paper aprons, and I didn't know what drinks were available, so it might worry first-time visitors, but if you read the detailed reviews, you will be fine. The ordering process starts with choosing a drink. If you don't want beer, check what's in the fridge when you enter! After ordering drinks, the shichirin grill is brought out, followed by the hormones. There was someone who ordered additional hormones. The mixed hormones consisted of about 80% white meat and 20% red meat. The thick cuts looked fresh and vibrant. You can tell at a glance that the freshness is outstanding. The meat has a good chewy texture and satisfying taste, without the need for excessive seasoning, leaving a good impression. Of course, there is no smell, so it doesn't smell no matter how you cook it! The onions served as a side dish were sweet and delicious. The bill came to 1595 yen. The receipt noted "(1 person)", which means it cannot be used as entertainment expenses (laughs). [Overall] I had a pleasant conversation with the landlady on the way out, and left the restaurant feeling satisfied. If you like this kind of atmosphere, it's worth visiting at least once. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Visited around 6 pm. Waited in line, second in line. The wait can be long, but it's worth it. The turnover is fast, so we were inside quickly. No menu, just ordered the Hormone Assortment and onions. The portions of hormone were generous and varied. Everything was fresh. Noticed there was no sauce, as this place serves salted hormone. Cooked it and ate it as is. The perfect amount of salt made the beer go down smoothly. It was the best hormone I've ever had. The onions were simply salted but delicious. I want to try this at a camp. Had a second serving of hormone and onions, and we were both full. Beers were bottled, with Sapporo, Asahi, and Suntory available. Highballs and chu-hi were served in cans with ice. We had 2 plates of hormone, 2 plates of onions, 3 bottled beers, and 4 canned drinks. The bill was quite reasonable. Recommend wearing clothes that can handle smoke when visiting. Definitely want to go back.

I came from Kobe for sightseeing and wondered how you knew about this place and had been keeping an eye on it for a long time. At first, I couldn't find the location, but it's further down a narrow alley. Despite being near Asahikawa Station, the atmosphere here is quite different. There were quite a few people waiting in front of the shop. You don't need to write your name, the staff confirms the waiting line. It seems like you can make reservations for three or more people. Some people are getting takeout, but they were sold out on that day. I went with another person and we were asked about drinks first, but there was no menu. We were told to choose from the refrigerator ourselves. I chose cola. Soon after, a plate of onions arrived, even though we didn't order it. Then a shichirin (charcoal grill) was brought to us, and it was already hot. Everyone was grilling and eating together in a casual manner. There's no air conditioning. We ordered the pork hormone mix, but we couldn't tell which part it was from. If you want more, you can ask for seconds. You can also specify the amount you want. They don't serve rice, but it seems like you can bring your own. Although no one brought their own rice, I think I'll buy some from the convenience store next time. Don't expect to stay clean, as the smell and sweat will stick to your clothes. Probably they don't serve rice to prevent customers from getting full too quickly and to encourage them to order more drinks. Two colas and the hormone mix cost around 1600 yen in total. The hormone dish alone was a little over 1000 yen for the amount shown in the photo. It's cheap. Everyone seemed to be locals, dressed in suits, but I couldn't help but wonder if it's okay to get all sweaty. There's also a counter for solo diners, so don't hesitate to go alone.

I visited a famous restaurant known for its delicious hormone dishes on a hot day. Despite the scorching heat, they only had fans and were grilling over charcoal, which added to the experience. I was a bit anxious about the prices as they were not listed, but they turned out to be reasonable. The menu consisted only of hormone dishes, and for drinks, you had to check the refrigerator to see what they had. You could bring your own rice, and it seemed like they allowed takeout up to 1000 yen worth.

Hokkaido wandering trip: A popular shop in Asahikawa city known for its specialty dish "Salt Hormone". Located on the 1st floor of a mixed-use building with a nostalgic Showa era atmosphere. Takeout available from 4 pm, selling a pack of 3 servings of Salt Hormone for 1000 yen. The shop opens at 4:30 pm with no menu, only serving Salt Hormone made from fresh pork organs. Customers can order drinks from the refrigerator. Charcoal-grilled on a shichirin, the Salt Hormone comes in various cuts and is best enjoyed without sauce. The owner, who seems to have difficulty walking, does not appear at the shop, with his wife and part-time staff handling operations. On this particular day, only the wife was present. We ordered 2 servings of Salt Hormone and beer for 2000 yen, which includes the shichirin fee. The shop's blunt communication style may not sit well with everyone.

Visited for the first time I had known about Horumon Baba for many years and had always wanted to visit. Finally, on a rainy Monday evening, I had the opportunity to visit. I went with my usual subordinate, and we were lucky to find two seats available at the counter with almost no waiting time. Without saying anything, a plate of horumon was served along with a Sapporo Classic bottled beer and a non-alcoholic beer. There is no menu, only horumon. We didn't specify the portion, but it didn't seem like we could order more anyway. The horumon grilled over charcoal was excellent, with no smell and a fantastic texture and flavor. The nostalgic atmosphere of the restaurant was also charming. The somewhat unfriendly female owner smiled at what seemed to be regular customers. The taste was so impressive that I felt like I wanted to become a regular customer too just to see that smile. The total bill for two people was an amazing 2,150 yen! Great value for money. The entrance may be a bit high, but I will definitely come back again.

I tried pork offal for the first time in my life. Although it is not very familiar in the Kansai region where I live, I ended up going to Baba Horumon without much research. When I entered the restaurant, I saw other customers grilling meat on a charcoal grill, so I thought it was just a simple charcoal grill and sat down. The waiter asked me for a drink, so I ordered a highball, but no food order came, so I asked if they had a menu. The response was that they only have horumon. After a while, the charcoal grill and meat were brought to me, but no sauce came with it. When I asked about the sauce, they said the meat was already seasoned and it was pork, so please cook it well. I was surprised that it was pork and there was no sauce. I cooked both sides thoroughly without knowing which part it was, and I tasted pork offal for the first time. It was not as fatty as beef offal, but light. The surface was crispy and chewy, and the seasoning was strong (maybe just at Baba Horumon). Once I started eating, I couldn't stop! It was incredibly delicious!! And I felt it was healthy on my own! In my opinion, pork offal surpassed chicken and beef and became the number one! I especially liked the red meat in the photo, even though I didn't know which part it was. *The salted onions were also delicious. When I searched, it seemed that there were no pork offal restaurants nearby... I will revisit when I am in Asahikawa!

Asahikawa is known for its ramen, squid rice bowl, and other specialties, but one of the best deals in town is the horumon (offal) at Baba Horumon! Surprisingly, there are no meat dishes on the menu. Instead, a variety of offal is served, and you can keep ordering more as much as you want. The offal is incredibly delicious, and it goes perfectly with beer. Even after ordering extra offal and drinking 4-5 beers, the bill is still less than 4,000 yen. Amazing value for money! A must-visit restaurant in Asahikawa!

It was so delicious! I felt this good for the first time! And it's cheap! Various cuts come out mixed together. It's grilled on a shichirin with just the right amount of salt. I ordered oolong tea, but I couldn't resist and ended up ordering a beer. Recommended if you come to Asahikawa!

When looking for a delicious restaurant in the hotel area, I found a hidden gem in a small alley that is not easily found. Located at the deepest part of Kaimono Park Street where foot traffic suddenly decreases, the restaurant was always crowded. They only served hormone (with onions included) with no menu. The simplicity of the place felt refreshing. They offered beer, canned chu-hi, and oolong tea in a homely style. Despite that, it was a charming place that I would definitely visit again when I come to Asahikawa in the future.

I finished work early and went to the restaurant I wanted to try, Baba Horumon. It was almost 6 PM and already almost 80% full. I sat down and was asked for my drink order, they had a choice of beer - classic or Super Dry. I chose the classic. The horumon (offal) was served automatically, and I realized they brought out two servings even though I ordered for one person. It included 3-4 different cuts of meat and came with onions. I had salt-seasoned horumon without sauce, and enjoyed it with beer. I ended up drinking two beers and the total cost was around 2,000 yen. I was very satisfied and quickly returned to my hotel.

I had wanted to go to a famous hormone restaurant in Asahikawa for many years, but I always missed the timing and couldn't get in. Finally! I was able to enter. I had tried the takeout hormone at a friend's house before, but this was my first time experiencing it at the restaurant. It was a delight for hormone lovers! I now understand why there is always a long line. I plan to start lining up before opening hours from now on, as I want to go back again.

I visited the restaurant around 7 pm on a rainy weekday. There was a group of 6 people waiting, but as I was alone, I was able to get seated right away. I ordered one serving of hormone (offal) and a bottle of beer. The total came to around 1500 yen. The only food available seemed to be the hormone dish. However, the hormone was incredibly delicious. I usually don't like the texture and smell of liver, so I don't eat it often. But since I was alone, I decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, it wasn't smelly at all and it wasn't dry either. It was juicy and tasty. It made me think, "Is liver really this delicious?" It was a surprising and satisfying experience at this restaurant.

I stayed overnight in Sapporo with the purpose of eating the best salt hormone at Baba Hormone in Asahikawa. The retro building had a nostalgic feel, and they only served salt hormone, onions, and alcohol. You can bring your own rice balls. As soon as you sit down, a charcoal grill, a plate of salt hormone, and onions are served. The different cuts of meat were crispy and juicy in the mouth, and the deliciousness was unstoppable. And it was surprisingly cheap. It was delicious.

After several years, I finally visited this place again. I really wanted to come here. I enjoyed beer and salted hormone at this place where you can just relax. The aroma of grilling over charcoal is so nice. - Hormone is 450 yen per serving. It's a bit small for one serving, so I ordered two servings. - For beer, "Asahi" or "Sapporo", since this is Hokkaido, I went with Sapporo Classic! The hormone is a mix of various parts, allowing you to enjoy different textures. Since it's salted, you can keep eating without getting tired of it. If I were to finish here, I would definitely order more, but I'm heading to the next place, so this is the finish. Grilled hormone over charcoal is really delicious! Cheap and delicious, it's the best (^^)

[Visit date: Mid-March 2023] Visited around 4:00 PM on a holiday, and the rating at the time of visit was 3.62. Recognized as one of the top 100 yakiniku restaurants on Tabelog in 2022. Walked from a hotel in front of Asahikawa Station to the restaurant. There are many traffic lights, so it takes some time, but it's a straight path. The restaurant opens at 4:30 PM, so I waited on the long bench in front of the restaurant for about 20 minutes. They opened a bit earlier than the scheduled time. I was seated at the counter and asked for a drink, so I ordered a bottle of Sapporo Classic beer, as I was in Hokkaido. Then, the charcoal grill and a platter of hormone (organ meats) were brought to the table. There were about 3 different cuts, which was a decent amount. It had a salt seasoning, so no dipping sauce was needed. The more you chew, the more flavorful it becomes. It was delicious, although it made my jaw tired. I stayed for about 40 minutes and paid in cash at the end. I don't remember the exact prices as there was no menu, but it was around ¥1600 in total. The background music in the restaurant was from a small TV, but it didn't bother me as I was focused on eating. It can get crowded on holidays, but it's quieter on weekdays. Your clothes will definitely smell like grilled meat, so some customers brought large bags to store their belongings. The hormone was delicious, so I would like to visit again when I come back to Asahikawa. Thank you for the meal.

As another reviewer mentioned, there is no menu at this restaurant. Entry may be restricted depending on the availability of staff. The service is straightforward and on the harsh side. You have to order your drinks first. Then, a plate of assorted hormone meats (with onions) is brought to your table. It has a variety of cuts and colors. Upon trying them, the initial impression is that they are "tough." I tried cooking them to a medium-rare, but they were still "tough." It felt like the tripe was overcooked. The seasoning is just salt. While some cuts had a good flavor as you chew, overall it was not impressive enough to make a big deal out of it. Subjectively speaking, compared to "Hyakumanri" in Musashi, Kushiro City, it falls short. It's quite puzzling why this place has such high ratings and is included in the top 100 list. I definitely won't be coming back.

Local delicious restaurants in Hokkaido are usually found in alleyways like this. You walk down a quiet street off the main road, then further into a narrow alley. This approach is quite exciting. Upon entering the restaurant, you are led to the counter. The atmosphere inside, filled with the smell of hormones, is already setting the stage for a great dining experience. Looking around the restaurant, there seems to be no menu in sight. The waiter who brings out chopsticks and a wet towel also does not present a menu. "That's how it is," they say with a calm expression, as I confidently order a beer. If there were several menu options, they would usually ask, but in this case, they don't, so I let it go. The young waiter follows the instructions of the owner, not daring to do anything else without their approval. Hormones are served, beer is brought over, and the bill is settled. The waiter seems a bit nervous as they go about their tasks. The owner is in charge of the charcoal grill. They carefully tend to the fire at the edge of the restaurant, keeping an eye on the entire place. They do not leave the charcoal until an order is placed, ignoring any attempts by customers to get their attention. Gradually, I begin to understand the ways of the restaurant. My intuition was correct, as a mix of hormones, a few pieces of onion bulbs, a charcoal grill, and tongs are brought to me. There is no sauce. The hormones and onions are already seasoned, with a hint of umami and saltiness. However, this turned out to be just right. In response to a customer's clueless question about how to eat the dish, the owner simply says, "Just grill it, grill it all." The regulars sitting at the counter chuckle at the unreserved yet affectionate response. The straightforward yet caring service adds a special flavor to the hormones. Sitting alone in front of the charcoal grill, grilling the hormones, I can't help but feel like I'm on a solo camping trip. As I flip the 4.5 pieces of hormones I placed earlier, I add another 4.5 fresh pieces to the empty space on the grill. I eat the first 4.5 pieces while flipping the ones I added earlier and placing more on the grill... and the cycle continues. This is truly enjoyable even when dining alone. When it comes time to pay, I realize I only have 1000 yen in my wallet, so I have to go back to the hotel to get cash from my room. Upon returning to the restaurant, the owner comments, "In the countryside, it's cash only. It's a shame to pay extra for withdrawals," showering me with words of affection. This place is definitely addictive.
