I was really curious after reading the reviews at the beginning, so I went there for the first time today. When I saw the flashy sign at first, I thought it might be just for show, but once I went inside, the interior was very stylish. As for the meat, I first ordered my favorites: galbi, tongue, tripe, sagari, and a cut I hadn't tried before, maybe the aorta. The offal is generally seasoned with a sweet sauce. I chose salt for the tongue, and all the meats were delicious. The tongue wasn't thin, but had a good thickness and was very juicy. The galbi was fatty and tender, while the tripe had a nice chewy texture. I felt like having something with rice, but they didn't have bibimbap which I usually order at BBQ places, so I ordered yukgaejang soup with rice instead. The soup was also delicious! Lastly, I wanted to try more, so I ordered achilles tendon and cheek meat. The achilles tendon was tough at first, but once grilled, it had a mochi-like texture! I should have tried it earlier, but it was towards the end and I didn't like the texture much (sorry to the staff). The cheek meat looked normal, but had a slightly different taste compared to the other meats. Overall, I think it's a great deal for the price. My girlfriend and I were already talking about when we should come back next.Visited again in June 2014. Some parts of the interior had been renovated. Previously, there were many seats that seemed like just boards attached to the sides of drum cans, but now most seats have a hollow in the middle of the table, making it more comfortable to sit and eat. The taste was still delicious as before, so please refer to my previous comment for more details from my last visit (lol).

During a conversation about something else, I saw a banner indicating that the restaurant was open for lunch. Tomako informed me that they had started serving lunch from May 19th, so I made a reservation and visited the Tokachi Hormone KEMURI Obihiro branch for lunch. The lunch hours are on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:30 onwards, reservations are required, and parking in the adjacent Char's parking lot is not allowed during this time. If you visit before 3 pm, you can get a 10% discount (with a ticket that we received during payment for future use) along with free rice refills and soup. The new lunch menu includes seasoned lamb shoulder and other options from the regular menu. I tried various meats like the crunchy, seasoned lamb shoulder, tender misji, thick-cut premium beef tongue, sagari, chicken harami, and rice. The staff graciously offered us two pieces each of Asahi Snow Hoso and Tecchan. The meats were delicious, especially the premium beef tongue and misji. The atmosphere was great for taking photos and videos, and the recommended sauces were salt, miso, and soy. Overall, it was a delightful and enjoyable experience at this unique yakiniku restaurant that specializes in hormone meats.

I visited the Tokachi Hormone KEMURI Obihiro branch! This is my second time here, and today I decided to have yakiniku. The restaurant is aiming to get new reviews, and I remembered that KEMURI offers a variety of affordable hormone dishes. There was one group of customers already seated when I arrived. Looking at the menu, I noticed there were many value sets available. Here is what I ordered: - Sagari (skirt steak) for two - Beef, pork, and chicken harami (skirt meat) comparison set - Hormone mix - Pork belly from Tokachi Whey Pork - Basil sausage - Authentic kimchi - Spicy ramen - Large rice - Roast beef with a glass of wine set A shichirin (charcoal grill) was set up on the table, and there was a smoke exhaust system in place. I ordered a beer, and the glass was chilled, although the foam was a bit disappointing. We made a toast with Calpis and started grilling the meat. The Sagari was affordable at 490 yen and quite delicious. The hormone mix had a variety of options, and the harami comparison set with beef, pork, and chicken was enjoyable. The standout dishes were the authentic kimchi, which had a strong sour flavor, and the surprisingly delicious spicy ramen. The roast beef with wine set was also a good value at 580 yen. Overall, even with budget-friendly choices, I left the restaurant feeling satisfied. I recommend this place to those who enjoy hormone dishes. Thank you, Tokachi Hormone KEMURI, for the delicious meal!

Wife and in-laws family, a total of 7 people visited. The variety of meat options was plentiful and the portion size per dish was satisfying. Spicy hormone was delicious.

The hormones melted in my mouth and the beer was also delicious.

Delicious! Affordable!

The thick-cut beef tongue is amazing. The liver is also delicious!! Great value for money!!

Good evening, this is Junjun. Today's travel route is Takikawa City - Kushiro City - Obihiro City. Obihiro is hot. While searching for delicious yakiniku, I stumbled upon a hidden gem called "Tokachi Hormone KEMURI". They offer super fresh hormone from their own ranch at a reasonable price. I highly recommend the beef tongue for 780 yen. It's a very thick cut of beef tongue. By the way, they are currently running a campaign where liver is only 40 yen. Please come and visit this place if you are looking for a great deal.

When you search for "Tokachi Hormone KEMURI" on Google, a restaurant in Naha, Okinawa Prefecture comes up. The image closely resembles our shop in Obihiro. I asked why there is a shop with the same name in both Okinawa and Hokkaido, and was told that the owner runs a ranch in Hokkaido and opened a yakiniku restaurant in Okinawa first before the one in Obihiro. The lantern at the entrance of the shop reads "Specializing in Offal" and "Hormone Yakiniku". Inside the shop, there is a table made from a modified drum can used as a grill. There are arm-style lights with spotlights shining on the meat. The chairs are simple can-shaped ones with lids that can be opened to store items inside. I like this casual atmosphere. I ordered the "Special Liver" from today's recommendations for 680 yen. From the regular menu, I tried the "Hormone Mix" for 380 yen and the "Beef Tongue" for 680 yen. The "Special Liver" had a sharp shape that seemed suitable for raw consumption, but it was seared on the surface with charcoal and eaten with sesame oil. It was delicious. The "Beef Tongue" was different from the usual one you find at yakiniku restaurants. It had a color that seemed like the meat was aged. It didn't shrink or curl when cooked. When I bit into it with lemon juice, it tasted just like beef tongue. It had a nice texture to chew. In addition to the 10 individual hormone options on the menu, there is a "Hormone Mix" with about 4 varieties. It's perfect for trying out different types. The hormones come with a miso flavor. There is a clear sauce called "Rinse Sauce" on the table, which is used to wash off some of the miso flavor from the hormones and add a bit of saltiness. Despite the name KEMURI (which means smoke), I expected the restaurant to be filled with smoke from charcoal grilling, but the ventilation was so good that there was hardly any smoke, and the smell didn't stick to clothes or hands. The smoke from grilling the hormones rose straight up and was sucked into the exhaust vent. It reminded me of the scene with the Dementors in the movie Harry Potter. For those who don't mind a less fancy atmosphere, this is a recommended restaurant for yakiniku, especially if you enjoy hormones. The name of the restaurant is "Tokachi Hormone KEMURI", but when I registered it as a new entry on Tabelog, it was somehow corrected to "Kemuri" and it's not clear what kind of shop it is. Will definitely revisit.

The exterior of the restaurant has a fiery design with a signboard that says "Specializing in Offal!" in bold letters. This is sure to catch the attention of meat lovers. However, upon entering the restaurant, the atmosphere is completely different than expected. Is this a date spot? A playground for adults? The upscale interior is filled with groups and couples. Towards the back of the restaurant, there is a high grill area that resembles a standing bar. Quite a mysterious feeling! Moving on to the menu, with a variety of offal options at reasonable prices. The taste is enhanced by a unique clear liquid in the dipping sauce dish called "Washimono" which is a Japanese-style broth. The offal, sourced from a directly operated ranch, is delicious without the typical offal smell. Dipping it in the sauce enhances the flavor even more. The grilled heart and liver were particularly delicious. Despite the mismatch between the ambiance and menu, I was very satisfied with the experience. It may not be suitable for large groups without a drink-all-you-can option, but the affordable prices make up for it. I wish they had a wider selection of alcoholic beverages. The staff mentioned there are VIP seats on the second floor, with sofa seating for 8-10 people, perfect for a meat lover's party.

A shop quietly located at the foot of the forests of Obihiro. Since it is quite a distance from the city, I had never had the opportunity to visit until now. I had the chance to visit for the first time✨ This time, I enjoyed a special meal! The quality of the food served here is outstanding, so I highly recommend it!
