I arrived at the restaurant "塩ホルモン・鍋" around 9:30 pm after work, greeted by a lively staff member opening the door for me. The restaurant was filled with smoke, but it didn't bother me. Despite being a horumon restaurant, there were many female customers. Suddenly, the lights went out as a couple celebrating their marriage blew out the candles on their dessert. The atmosphere was lively with Princess Princess playing in the background. The food was authentic and delicious, especially the Korean-style boiled pork with kimchi, succulent beef tongue, and tripe tomato stew. The portions were generous, and I look forward to returning with a group to try the motsunabe next time.

If you want to eat horumon in Kagurazaka and Iidabashi, this is the only choice. You can enjoy high-quality horumon at a reasonable price. The meat is cut into small pieces, making it easy to eat and showing the attention to detail. From appetizers to meat dishes to the finale, everything is delicious, so you can enjoy from start to finish. 🍽️

I went to the restaurant at night for the first time in a while, and the beef tongue was still the most delicious! The Harami (skirt steak) was also tasty. I couldn't remember how it was before, but it seemed like there was less sauce and more salt this time. I had the impression that there would be various sauces for different types of meat, but maybe it has changed or my memory is wrong. They also brought out a birthday plate as requested, so I am satisfied!

Visited the restaurant with 8 friends. The hormone meats like tongue, skirt, and tripe were particularly delicious, as expected from a restaurant specializing in hormone dishes. Of course, the premium cuts like top loin were also delicious, making it a great place to visit with a large group.

I visited this restaurant located on the 2nd floor, a little over a 5-minute walk from Iidabashi subway station. I went on a Saturday night around 6 pm. I made a reservation about 3 days in advance, and the seating was for a strict 2-hour limit, making it quite easy to get a table. The restaurant has a very casual atmosphere, but the ventilation is good, so your clothes won't smell too much. I ordered Harami, Hormone, the famous Garlic Cloves, and cold noodles for the finish. Each dish was priced at less than 1,000 yen, offering great value. The meat was tender and flavorful, especially the Hormone, which was juicy. The internal organs like Harami were also cooked well without becoming tough. The flavors were not overpowering, allowing us to enjoy the natural taste of the meat. The cold noodles had a nice texture and were delicious. The only downside was the lack of a palate-cleansing side dish like Sanchu, which could make it easy to get tired of just eating meat. However, overall, the satisfaction of the meat was quite high, making it a perfect place for those who want to eat a lot of tender meat in a short amount of time and leave the restaurant feeling satisfied.

Eating and drinking with three people, we spent about 6000 yen per person. The food was delicious and we were so happy to eat until we were full. I avoid eating garlic before work as it affects my performance, so I go to this place before my days off. The flavor of the hormone dishes is eternal. I will definitely go back!

Located a 3-5 minute walk from Iidabashi Station is the popular yakiniku restaurant, Ochanchan Iidabashi Honten. This lively restaurant has a casual izakaya-like atmosphere where you can enjoy various cuts of horumon and yakiniku. It has been selected as one of the top 100 yakiniku restaurants in Tokyo from 2019 to 2022. With around 40 seats at the counter and tables, it's a great place to enjoy a meal with friends. The restaurant gets quite crowded during meal times, so making a reservation in advance is a must. During this visit, we tried dishes such as bean sprout namul, Korean-style boiled pork with kimchi, tender beef sinew stew, chuck flap tail, and Japanese beef harami. The Korean dishes and appetizers also seemed popular, so we mixed and matched our orders. We started by enjoying the namul, generously topped with green onions and black pepper, and washing it down with a glass of draft beer. The pork belly with rich fat content paired with tangy kimchi in the Korean-style boiled pork and kimchi dish was hearty. The tender beef sinew stew and the clear broth made with plenty of tofu were both delicious. The harami, which was unusually served with not just wasabi but also ginger, was chewy and flavorful. The chuck flap tail, thinly sliced and well-coated in a sweet sauce, paired perfectly with white rice. Every dish was top-notch and delicious! While the yakiniku menu may be on the pricier side, the cost performance of the side dishes is great. By ordering a balanced variety of dishes, you can enjoy a relatively affordable meal. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Located just a short walk from JR Iidabashi Station, this popular hormone restaurant also serves motsunabe. The specialty dish "Kopuchan" is overwhelmingly delicious! I found the fatty hormones particularly tasty. It's about a 2-minute walk from JR Iidabashi Station, but be aware that it's quite a walk from Iidabashi Station on the Tozai Line. - Namul with bean sprouts (tax included 748 yen) - Boiled pork and kimchi Korean-style (tax included 990 yen) - Crunchy cobukro with vinegar (tax included 869 yen) - Kopuchan (tax included 1,045 yen) - Thinly sliced liver with salt (tax included 1,045 yen) - Good-chan hormone platter! (tax included 1,650 yen) - Intestines - Geara - Hatsumoto - Pork tongue - Seared heart (tax included 1,045 yen) - Wagyu harami (tax included 2,178 yen) - Yukkejang soup (tax included 1,375 yen) - Lemon cold noodles (tax included 1,012 yen) - Rich panna cotta (tax included 770 yen) I think fatty hormones like Kopuchan and intestines were especially delicious, but the seared heart that you quickly sear and eat was also delicious! In addition to hormones, the side dishes, soups, and noodles were also tasty. Surprisingly, it's a clean restaurant, so it seems versatile for various situations. It's a great place to enjoy eating and drinking with friends in a lively atmosphere.

Hormone is delicious, but beef tongue, skirt steak, kalbi, and sirloin are also delicious. No matter what you eat, there is always a new surprise, it's a wonderful yakiniku restaurant. [What I Ate] Good-chan Hormone Assortment ★ Beef Tongue ★ Wagyu Skirt Steak ★ Kalbi ★ Prime Sirloin ※ ★ indicates especially delicious items.

I was lucky to get a reservation for the weekend and visited the restaurant. The restaurant is located a few minutes' walk from the JR Iidabashi West Exit ticket gate. The entrance is a bit hard to find, but there is a sign to guide you, and it is on the second floor of a small building. Inside, there are high tables at the counter and regular tables. We were advised to put our clothes and bags in plastic bags to avoid getting any smells on them. One of my companions was a heavy drinker, so we reserved a course with all-you-can-drink option. The Senmai Ponzu had a crispy texture with a refreshing ponzu flavor. The chicken liver pate with marmalade had a rich flavor that was easy to eat. The Korean-style boiled pork and kimchi were tender pork with slightly spicy kimchi that went well with the drinks. The crunchy bean sprout namul was a perfect drinking snack. The melt-in-your-mouth beef tendon stew had a rich and concentrated flavor. The assorted hormone dishes were carefully prepared with various textures that were incredibly delicious. The spring chrysanthemum bakudan had a crunchy texture with a seasoning of salt and lemon juice. The premium selection of three types of Japanese beef was tender and very delicious. The finale of motsu nabe champon was a voluminous and delicious hot pot with plenty of ingredients. The course meal had a great variety and all the dishes were delicious, especially the hormone dishes. One thing to note is that the restaurant only accepts cashless payments and does not take cash.

I have been to Trattoria Granbocca about three times with my male friends, and we usually go there for a meal to enjoy some delicious food. However, on the third visit, I noticed a significant drop in the taste of the dishes. I wondered if there was a change in the head chef. Trattoria Carne Giù in Otemachi is incredibly delicious, but my friends tend to order wine by the bottle quickly, which makes it too expensive for me to go there. So, I was in a dilemma until I discovered this place. Upon researching, I found out that it is affiliated with Granbocca, so I had high expectations. I made a reservation for Friday at 7 pm and went there with two friends. We started with the beef tongue with green onions, and it was undeniably delicious and juicy. We all loved it and ended up ordering more. The wagyu harami was tasty, but I don't think I would reorder it. The kalbi was also juicy and flavorful, and we couldn't resist ordering the special kalbi, which was even more delicious. The copchang was my first time trying it, and it was surprisingly good without any unpleasant smell. The hormone assortment was also tasty, but since I'm not a big fan of hormones, I think I would prefer regular kalbi. The chicken liver pate was served in a large portion, and it was surprisingly delicious with a unique color and texture. We also had kimchi, four glasses of draft beer, three sours, and a bottle of wine priced at over 3,000 yen, bringing the total bill to 27,000 yen. Considering the amount of food we ate and the quality, it was quite reasonable. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a satisfying night, and I would definitely order the beef tongue, kalbi, liver, and pate again on my next visit. Reservations are essential, and please note that all the restaurants in this chain only accept cash payments, so be prepared if you are dining with a group.

I went to a restaurant that seemed to be popular and tried their Tan, Harami, Shimachara, Roast, rice, Solrontan, grilled shabu, and then, because it was so delicious, I had Harami and rice again, along with one draft beer and two hoppy drinks. It was just so delicious! It's incomparable to the expensive and sophisticated yakiniku restaurants! It's significantly more delicious! I wonder why it's so tasty? Yakiniku is confusingly expensive, and many places are too sweet and garlicky, so I didn't like it before, but this place is not expensive, around 5,000 yen per person. I got so caught up in eating that I forgot to drink. The sauce is not too sweet, it's fantastic, the real deal. Thank you for the meal. This is the kind of yakiniku I like. The restaurant is located on the second floor of a building within a few minutes' walk from the station. The interior of the restaurant was much cleaner than I expected. I sat at the counter and grilled the meat on the roaster. It's great to be able to drink even during the day. It's not possible to make a reservation for one person online, but if you call, it's okay even for one person! I'm so happy! The true power of a real yakiniku restaurant is here! The recommended situation is when you want to casually enjoy authentic yakiniku. Completely non-smoking.

I made a reservation 2-3 days ago! It was early on a weekday, but the restaurant was full of customers. I had garlic pork, tongue, and hormone. I usually don't like hormone, but I was able to eat it all! Everything was delicious~ The person I went with, who is usually picky, kept saying "Let's go again" multiple times that day. I will definitely go back!

Started with tiger makgeolli. Father cut the cabbage thin! Thinly sliced liver with salt. Mixed with green onions, salt, and pepper. The meat is quite thin and cut quite roughly (lol). When grilled, it has a fluffy texture! Garlic pork loin. The meat is quite tender and the garlic is surprisingly not too pungent, but rather refreshing. (However, the next day, the garlic smell coming up was no joke. Crying) Japanese beef harami, followed by super spicy hormone. Is it really spicy? I asked the waiter, and he replied, "It's not so spicy that you can't handle it." It was quite spicy, but even I, who isn't a big fan of spicy food, could eat it, and it was a good level of spiciness. They recommended alcohol. The sol-lontang is quite simple yet delicious, and I can see why it's popular. Finally, copchang. Finished with lemon cold noodles. The refreshing appearance with lots of lemon on top. This is great. I walked in on the same day without a reservation, but it was almost full, so I think it's better to make a reservation in advance for peace of mind. It feels like an old-fashioned town barbecue!

A fantastic restaurant where you can enjoy delicious yakiniku. The quality of the meat is high, with a wide variety of cuts available. The staff are friendly and very good. I made a reservation the day before and was lucky to get a table. It's a delicious restaurant, so I highly recommend it.

Yakiniku Momonoten Kachan in Iidabashi is a favorite yakiniku restaurant known for their salted hormone dish. It used to be hard to get a reservation here, but now it's relatively easier. It's one of my favorite yakiniku places. They serve A5 rank meat with plenty of marbling in a cozy atmosphere, and it's not overly expensive. They offer fresh and delicious meat cooked to perfection with their special sauce, and it's not pricey at all. Everything they serve is delicious. The meat is not too heavy, so you can eat as much as you want. The portion size, thickness, and price are all just right. They have a famous dish called "Spring Cabbage Bomb," and I highly recommend trying it. I used to dislike spring cabbage and herbs, but after eating the Spring Cabbage Bomb here, I was able to overcome my aversion. I realized that by eating a large amount of spring cabbage all at once, the bitterness didn't bother me anymore. It's like how Matsuko and Ariyoshi, who used to dislike cilantro, were able to eat a huge amount of cilantro in a hot pot and ended up enjoying it. If you're interested, I recommend making a reservation and trying it out.

Iidabashi Station, 1 minute walk, "Kochan Iidabashi Main Store". This time, I ordered a la carte after being seated. Ordered items: - Korean-style boiled pork and kimchi ¥990 - Cobb croffle ¥869 - Kopchang ¥1045 - Shimachou ¥1045 - Wagyu harami ¥2178 - Garlic loin ¥1320 - Solron Tan Soup ¥990 - Lemon Ramen ¥1012 Korean-style boiled pork and kimchi was recommended as a popular menu, so I decided to order it. It was served separately, not on top of each other, which was a pleasant surprise! You can enjoy the boiled pork as it is, but it tastes even better when eaten together with the kimchi! The Cobb croffle was an interesting choice, not commonly found outside of cafes. It had a unique and flavorful taste! I ordered the Kopchang and Shimachou as a set. There were instructions on how to cook them on the table, and it was recommended to cook them in the center of the roaster without raising the flame too high. When the meat shrinks and the fat becomes transparent, it is ready to eat! The fat was clean and delicious! The Wagyu harami was also recommended that day, and it was really good! Juicy and delicious when cooked just right! The garlic loin had a striking appearance with garlic on top. Be careful not to burn it while cooking both sides thoroughly before eating. It was tender and tasty! The Solron Tan Soup was recommended by a friend. It had a clean aftertaste with a subtle punch, different from the usual. The Lemon Ramen was a refreshing cold noodle dish with plenty of lemon, perfect for summer! You can also choose a half portion. If you order a regular size, it's enough to share between two people. It was a fun experience sitting at the counter this time, as the staff recommended dishes and interacted with us. Everyone was cheerful and friendly, creating a comfortable atmosphere.

A hormone-focused yakiniku restaurant located a 1-2 minute walk from the west exit of JR Iidabashi. I made a reservation for Sunday night and found the entrance a bit hard to spot, but there is a sign. It's on the 2nd floor of a building. Inside, there are high tables at the counter and regular tables. Since we reserved for 2 people, we were seated at the counter. The menu mainly consists of hormones, but they also have regular meat options like sirloin, top sirloin, and kalbi. They also offer pork hormones. We ordered beef tongue, bean sprout namul, beef tongue, wagyu harami, copchang, sirloin, and solungtang kookpa. The beef tongue has a crispy texture when grilled. The sirloin is quite lean, but I thought the top sirloin might be better if budget allows. Some places recommend regular sirloin over top sirloin, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. It's fun to grill the thick green onions that come with the meat. The solungtang soup at the end is rich and has a buttery aroma from the beef bones. It lives up to the hype. This is a place where you can enjoy hormones easily and affordably. It's also conveniently close to the station.

I wanted to go there but couldn't find the right timing until now. They spread beef fat on the grill and you eat it that way. All the offal is delicious, but the Garlic Rose is exceptional. Actually, I'm not sure if it's garlic at all, it's so white, and I can't tell what kind of meat is buried underneath. The finale was also fantastic. Non-smoking.

I decided on yakiniku and found this place in Chiyoda-ku on Tabelog. Oh! Looks good. I chose it on a whim and immediately made a reservation by phone. Managed to get a spot. When I arrived at 6 o'clock, it was quite empty, so this place must be a bit late? I thought as I sat at the counter. My friend pointed at the Makori Tora flyer on the wall and grinned. Yes, we are fans of Makori Tora. Now, the first order at this new place. When I asked for the staff's recommendation, they suggested the mino sandwich, so we started with that, along with top harami, garlic-cloaked bean sprouts, seasoned cow intestines (miso dressing), and the super spicy hormone bean sprouts - this one is definitely delicious! And it was, the bean sprouts were visually appealing and tasted great. Next was the seasoned cow intestines. My friend, who usually doesn't eat them, managed to eat half. You've grown up, thanks to this restaurant! The mino sandwich was delicious and easy to eat. The top harami and garlic-cloaked bean sprouts were also tasty, and I had two bottles of Makori, a dry and delicious one. I wanted to come back with more people and try more dishes. I found a delicious restaurant.

I made a reservation for a girls' night out. I ate a la carte and it cost me 5,000 yen per person. The food was delicious and the staff were very nice. Popular restaurants can sometimes be strict or picky, but I was able to enjoy my meal comfortably. The liver was exceptional! The harami and copchang were also delicious! I preferred the seolleongtang here over the famous Seoul restaurant. The restaurant wasn't too small and the restroom was clean.
