First of all... this time, we were provided with a special course by @araiya412 (Arai) as a gesture of goodwill! And when we asked for additional "Special Thick-cut Tongue" and "Yukke," they included them in the course. Thank you so much!! Also, @araiya_nikai's staff, Mr. Makino, and the kitchen staff accommodated our whims without any fuss! We all had a delicious meal and a great time throughout! Thank you very much. ● About the restaurant - Located on the second floor of the well-known delicious yakiniku restaurant in Shibuya, Araiya. - A hidden gem on the second floor where you can eat leisurely, with the possibility of private reservations. - On the second floor, there is a secret menu that is only provided to regular customers or close acquaintances (you might be able to try it if you visit a few times or become friendly with Mr. Arai). ● Ordered Special Course 16,500 yen - Pizza Potato - Carpaccio - Tail Omelette - Roast Beef Dog - Kaenomi Cheese Burger - Sirloin Omurice - Special Thick-cut Tongue - Yukke Unfortunately, we were too full to finish... We will come back after strengthening our stomachs more. Sorry for not being able to eat everything. The creative dishes that make you forget you are at a yakiniku restaurant are a series of surprises! However, there are moments where the performance of the grilled items and the subsequent creations showcase items that are distinctive to a yakiniku restaurant. Personal recommendation: - Carpaccio: The spicy dressing and wasabi greens pair perfectly with the meat in the carpaccio! Everyone was saying "...Spicy!!" but couldn't stop eating. - Kaenomi Burger: The juiciness of the meat is beyond compare! It's like when you think "Gyoza is here!!" with the cheese and kaenomi sandwiched together, topped with salsa sauce, and sandwiched between buns! It's impossible not to be delicious. - Special Thick-cut Tongue: It may not be a special menu, but it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we visited Araiya just to eat this. ● Budget: 16,500 yen + drinks per person ● Recommended for: Friends, dates, private reservations, meals with close acquaintances [Store Information] Access: 2F, 2-19-13 Dogenzaka, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo Phone number: 03-6455-0658 Business hours: Mon-Fri [First] 17:00-19:00 [Second] 19:00-21:00 [Third] 21:00-23:00 Sat, Sun, Holidays [First] 16:00-18:00 [Second] 18:00-20:00 [Third] 20:00-22:00 Closed: Open every day Instagram: @araiya_nikai

I reserved a private room on the second floor for a university alumni reunion. The luxurious private space was excellent, and the meat was incredibly delicious. It was so tender and flavorful that no sauce was needed. The cold noodles at the end were outstanding, with a strong seafood broth that made me want to eat it in a bowl instead of a small teacup.

Saturday 5:00 PM. Made a reservation and visited with 6 people. We mostly ordered the course menu, but we asked Mr. Arai to be a bit flexible and ordered various items a la carte! ★ Pizza Potato ❤️ Crispy potatoes with raw meat and cheese, a fantastic combination for a snack! ★ Seared Lamp Carpaccio ❤️ The spicy green pepper sauce was a nice touch! ★ Tail Egg Omelette ★ Roast Beef Dog - Slowly grilled right in front of us! ★ Kaonomi Cheeseburger - Thought it was just adding cheese to the existing Kaonomi burger, but it was completely different. Even the chips were delicious! ★ Sirloin Omelette Rice - Wrapped in meat instead of eggs! - Yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) - Thinly sliced tongue - Thinly sliced harami (skirt meat) - Thickly sliced harami - Thinly sliced sagari (diaphragm) - Thinly sliced liver - Marbled beef - Cold noodles - Peach Tiramisu The new items were really good. It's impressive how they continue to evolve and come up with new menu items despite being a popular restaurant. It's great that you can reserve the whole place even with a small group. Furthermore, the staff on this day were people we've known for a long time, so it was a lot of fun. Thank you for the meal! ¥17,000 per person

Yakiniku Hormone Araiya, located in Koenji, opened its second branch in Shibuya. The Shibuya branch has become popular, attracting many customers who may have discovered the restaurant from there. The restaurant on the second floor, located near Dogenzaka, has a cozy interior with only two table seats, making it perfect for small gatherings. The owner, Hideki Arai, is a charming and delightful host who made my dining experience special. The dishes at Araiya include a kimchi assortment served in a beer glass with the restaurant's name, a sashimi platter with special yukke, senmai kobu, and harami and zabuton sashimi, thick-cut tongue with salt, thick-cut liver, thick-cut harami, tail omelette, salted meat assortment, Kainomi burger, sauce meat assortment, shima chou, and yakiniku restaurant-style omelette rice. The course at the Shibuya branch costs around 10,000 yen, offering a fantastic dining experience. Don't forget to visit the first floor as well!

This time I made a reservation on the 2nd floor. I forgot to take a photo, but the highlight was the monk soup. It had a deliciously thick texture, and the seaweed called monk was the star of the dish. I always make a reservation by phone. The yukhoe, as usual, was delicious with rice. From beef tongue to sirloin, everything was tasty. The tripe was refreshing with green pepper vinegar, which goes really well with Shimacho. Finally, we finished with cold noodles with plenty of vinegar.

I've been to Araiya before, but Nekkai is new to me! It's located on the second floor above Araiya, with only two tables in a three-part system. It's a great space where you don't have to worry about noisy surroundings disrupting your conversations. The yukke is amazing as always, with the tongue being incredibly tender. Overall, it's a fantastic experience!

I had a delicious meal at Shibuya Araiya as always. The liver was amazing! The beef tongue was also superb!! Lately, when it comes to yakiniku, I always choose the Araiya group. The staff are all friendly, which is even more delightful! When can I go next? I also want to try a private party!

Araiya has its main store in Koenji, with additional locations in Asagaya and Shibuya. This time, I visited their third store in Shibuya, called Araiya Nikai. It's important to note that the shop is located on the second floor of Araiya. Previously, they only offered course menus, but recently they have added an a la carte menu option. I visited with a group of 12 friends for a birthday celebration. We ordered based on recommendations from the staff, focusing on their specialty menu items. The thick-cut tongue, harami sagari, and kainomi burger were particularly delicious. The Ma Po Tofu with harami and the omelette rice with tongue stew were also surprisingly tasty. The quality of the meat at Araiya is consistently high across all their locations. It's a great place to enjoy delicious food with friends in a lively atmosphere, making it perfect for private parties. Overall, we had a fantastic time and enjoyed every dish we tried. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Course menu with green tea and hojicha~memo~Regular meat gathering with my Tokyo buddies. Tonight's venue was Araiya in Shibuya... on the 2nd floor. Unlike the 1st floor or the adjacent Hanare, this is a luxurious space with only 2 tables and course meals. Had a great time and a full stomach on this day♪Here's what we had on this day↓↓↓◉Kimchi assortment◉Salad◉Selected thick-cut tongue with salt◉Top mino, face fat◉Top harami◉Sagari◉Rice◉Lamp, kainomi, sasami◉Shinshin◉Beef curry rice◉Harami fried rice◉Tongue stew omelette rice◉PuddingStarting with the thick-cut tongue, Araiya is known for its delicious hormone cuts like harami and sagari. Also, don't miss the dark horse face fat. I love the crispy texture when grilled well. Since we had a group of big eaters, we added a lot for the finale with an amazing triple rice attack. It's a moment where you're glad to be Japanese hahaAmong the desserts, some gourmet friends even call Araiya a curry restaurant because the curry is so delicious and highly recommended. And don't forget to reserve the pudding!!

Budget: 13,000 yen. Visited for a private party with a la carte menu. Pre-ordered some items that were not on the menu. Thick-cut tongue and harami were both excellent in thickness and seasoning. The rare marinated sagari was also delicious. Yukke was milder than expected. The thick-cut liver was tender. The heart steak with herb butter was flavorful. The Kai no Mi burger was a favorite. The harami fried rice is a must-try for one person. The harami mapo tofu was also good. The omelette rice was unique and not what was expected, but still tasty. The tail dashimaki was like a rolled omelette. The bean sprout namul was a satisfying revenge for the previous thin-cut version. Overall, the tongue, harami, sagari, Kai no Mi burger, and harami fried rice were the highlights. Looking forward to trying the fried rice by myself next time.

I went to Yakiniku Hormone Shibuya Araiya for a surprise birthday party for one of my gourmet friends. This time, we held the event at Nikai, which was my first time there. The hidden atmosphere was amazing. We had pre-ordered some menu items and also selected a variety of dishes we wanted to try on the day of the event. The lineup included Yukke, Special Thick-cut Tongue (Salt), Special Thick-cut Seared Liver, Grilled Cheek, Special Thick-cut Harami (Salt), Special Thick-cut Sagari (Sauce), Tail Soup Rolled Egg (off-menu item), Kai No Mi Burger (off-menu item), Araiya's Stone-cooked Mapo Tofu (off-menu item), Araiya Stew Omelette Rice (off-menu item), Harami Fried Rice (off-menu item), Moyashi Namul, Nagaimo Kimchi, and Araiya's stable lineup. The quality was top-notch, with each dish being delicious. The thick-cut tongue and thick-cut harami with salt seasoning were perfect. The liver and cheek were also very tasty. The thick-cut sagari with sauce was surprisingly delicious, and the sauce from Araiya was exceptional. The off-menu items were also outstanding, with high quality comparable to Western or Chinese restaurants. The Kai No Mi Burger was especially amazing. The Harami Fried Rice was also a favorite. The Yukke, kimchi, and namul were all delicious. There were no flaws at all. It was my first time at Araiya in a while, but I was completely satisfied once again. Araiya is truly amazing. I will definitely continue to visit in the future!

Located a 5-minute walk from Shibuya Station, this restaurant opened on the second floor of Araiya as the name suggests! The restaurant can be reserved for groups of 7-12 people, making it perfect for special parties. We opted for a la carte this time, with a variety of dishes including bean sprout namul, yam kimchi, yukhoe, premium thick-cut tongue with salt, thick-cut seared liver, premium thick-cut harami, premium thick-cut sagari, pig's head meat, tail soup rolled omelette, kainomi burger, harami fried rice, Araiya's stone-grilled mapo tofu, and Araiya stew omelette rice. The quality of the meat was outstanding as always, with the premium thick-cut tongue with salt, upper harami, and upper liver being must-try items. The sagari was also delicious. The menu includes a variety of hormone dishes, such as the popular BIG heart steak with herb butter. The restaurant also offers legal yukhoe with permission from the health department. In addition to grilled dishes, Araiya's meat side dishes are also very delicious. The kainomi burger, in particular, is a must-try with its carefully grilled kainomi and delicious mustard sauce. Other dishes we tried for the first time, such as harami fried rice, tail soup rolled omelette, stone-grilled mapo tofu, and beef stew omelette rice, were all impressive and delicious. The presence of the idol Arai-san added to the fun, and we were able to celebrate together. The staff even prepared a surprise birthday plate. Thank you to everyone at the restaurant for a wonderful experience!

Budget: 8000-13,000 yen Order: A la carte Duration: 2-2.5 hours Reservation: By phone When it comes to yakiniku in Shibuya, this restaurant is always mentioned as a top choice. They have multiple branches now, and this time I visited the one above the main branch called "Nikai". The menu at Nikai is a mix between the main branch and a different style, with two large tables available. If you want a private dining experience, Nikai is the way to go. We had pre-ordered some dishes, so we ended up eating until we were completely full. They also have daily specials, adding an element of excitement to each visit. The quality and seasoning of the meat at this restaurant are impeccable, with a consistent and outstanding taste. Everything we ordered this time was so delicious that it's hard to pick a favorite. While many places are going for a lighter salt seasoning, this restaurant's seasoning is just right and makes the rice go down easily. And of course, the sauce is amazing, with unlimited rice. The quality of the dishes here is exceptional, not what you would typically expect from a yakiniku restaurant. I already want to go back, and I will definitely plan another visit to enjoy the experience fully. [Order] - Yukhoe (Korean-style beef tartare) - Bean sprout namul - Special thick-cut tongue with salt - Premium thick-cut liver - BIG heart steak with herb butter - Thick-cut harami (skirt steak) - Thick-cut sagari (lower harami) - Tail soup rolled omelette - Kaenomi (beef cheek) burger - Harami fried rice - Mapo tofu - Omurice The flavors were explosive, the meat quality was top-notch, and the dishes were simply outstanding.

- [Shop Name] Araiya Nikai - [Nearest Station] 10-minute walk from Shibuya Station - [Budget] Around 10,000 yen The main store is located in Koenji. There are also other branches in Asagaya, Shibuya, and Shibuya Hanare. This time, it was my first visit to the Shibuya branch, Nikai. Located next to the Shibuya branch, there is a staircase leading to Nikai. Upon opening the door, you will see a familiar sign here. It is recommended to reserve a table for 7 people to have a private room. For first-time visitors, the course menu is recommended, while for those who have been there multiple times, you can inform them in advance what you want to eat and they may adjust or add items to the course menu. The basic course content costs 11,000 yen (tax included), and the all-you-can-drink option costs 2,750 yen (tax included). This time, we had the original course, which included: Araiya salad x2, assorted kimchi x2, two types of horumon, thick-cut tongue, thinly sliced upper harami, thinly sliced sagari, assorted three types of Japanese beef, Araiya special curry, harami fried rice, tongue stew omelette rice, and pudding. Personally, I prefer thinly sliced meat for yakiniku, but everyone else preferred thick-cut meat, so we compromised by having the tongue thick-cut. When the meat with sauce was served, the staff asked if we were okay with having curry and fried rice, but we reassured them that we were all big eaters, so it was fine. The harami fried rice had a milder flavor than expected, I thought it would be more intense. The curry was also delicious, and we joked about ordering Uber Eats. The tongue stew omelette rice was wild and delicious! The others were contemplating whether to add cold noodles. I secretly had ramen from a local ramen shop near my house. And the pudding was delicious, just as expected. Thank you for the meal!

I visited Araiya for the first time. The interior of the restaurant has only two table seats! It seems like a good place for private parties. The meat was delicious, and even the pudding at the end was great. We ended up ordering fried rice, curry, and omurice as well. We visited with some big eaters, so it ended up being a little over 10,000 yen, but if you eat normally, it should be under 10,000 yen. If someone asks me for a place in Tokyo where you can easily access and enjoy delicious meat at a reasonable price, I usually recommend Araiya. It was a delicious visit after a long time!

If you want to eat yakiniku in Shibuya, this is the place to go! This restaurant, which has been selected as one of the top 100 yakiniku restaurants, is riding the wave of popularity. The restaurant, named Araiya, opened in August 2022. It is located just a few minutes' walk up from Shibuya Station on Dogenzaka Street. Araiya already has two branches in Asagaya, and this is their third branch in Shibuya. The three Shibuya branches are all within about 10 seconds walking distance of each other, with the third branch, "Araiya Nikai," located on the second floor of the first branch. The entrance to "Nikai" may be a bit hard to find, but you can go up the stairs on the right side of Araiya and enter through the door. Unlike the other branches, "Nikai" has two spacious tables for up to six people each, as well as cozy sofas. The menu consists of set courses only, with two seatings at 6:00 pm and 8:30 pm. It's a great place for entertaining guests or enjoying a leisurely yakiniku meal. You can also rent out the space for small groups, so feel free to inquire by phone. The owner, Mr. Arai, has worked at various restaurants before establishing Araiya. He has inherited a lot from "Yamadaya," one of his previous ventures. He is loved and admired by everyone for his Doraemon-like charm, and meeting him is considered very lucky due to his busy schedule. As for the food, we enjoyed a special course including the off-menu Harami Chahan. The meal started with "Wagyu seared carpaccio" made with sirloin, which is seared right in front of you with a burner – a performance we've never seen at Araiya before! The Italian-style seasoning was delicious. And of course, the Yukhoe (Korean-style beef tartare) was amazing – so tender and richly flavored! I also loved the finale, which consisted of a perfectly rare "roast beef bowl" made from a large piece of meat and the Harami Chahan. Both dishes had a garlicky flavor that was so satisfying and paired well with rice. I left the restaurant feeling full and happy. I will definitely be back!

Hello. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to join a dinner party at Araiya in Shibuya at the last minute. The event started at 8:30 pm on a weekday, and I decided to participate. Thank you so much for letting me join (＞人＜;) I realized it had been a long time since I had eaten yakiniku... maybe about 10 years ago at a company drinking party. Recently, there have been more places where you can enjoy yakiniku alone, but at my age, I haven't felt like eating a lot of meat, so I've been avoiding it (￣▽￣;) I do like yakiniku, and I often watch Terumoto Jimon's refusal to be interviewed on TV. Come to think of it, I remember hearing about this place before!! And now I ended up visiting it unexpectedly (　ﾟдﾟ) The restaurant is a hidden gem called Araiya, a popular yakiniku restaurant in Shibuya, which opened a private rental-only store on the second floor last August. It seems like they only host one group per day. I was really surprised to find myself here (^◇^;) The owner trained at the prestigious horumon restaurant Yamadaya, Arai Hideki. Honestly, I've never heard of Yamadaya before. Sorry about that... So, I finished work around 7 pm and headed to Shibuya Station. I've never walked around Shibuya at night, so I left home a little early. I arrived after a few minutes' walk from Exit A0. The restaurant was tucked away in a narrow alley. It had a cozy atmosphere (￣◇￣;) I nervously climbed the stairs and entered the restaurant, which had a luxurious feel despite its small size with only 12 seats. First, I greeted everyone else. I felt really out of place... well, I'll just enjoy myselfヾ(๑╹◡╹)ﾉ" Today's course at Araiya includes a nice all-you-can-drink option. It's a horumon specialty store, so the course is reasonably priced at 11,000 yen... I think... First, I cheered with a beer after work!! A beer after work always tastes good!! Now, I'm looking forward to trying the yakiniku!! Usually, I would write about the food, but I was too nervous as a drinker and struggled to take photos (＞＜) However, the thick-cut gyutan, harami, zabuton, and mapo tofu were all really delicious!! Fortunately, the gentleman next to me was very knowledgeable about yakiniku and pretty much grilled the meat himself（╹◡╹）♡ I realized that the way you grill the meat can make or break it, so grilling skills are essential for enjoying yakiniku (　ﾟдﾟ) I also enjoyed beers, lemon sours, red wine, etc., trying not to get too drunk, but I had a great time drinking them d(￣ ￣) I had fun chatting with everyone who attended. I learned a lot about various restaurants and it was a great experience_φ(･_･ I was really impressed!! Good meat is really delicious!! I've been admiring it on TV and videos, but actually eating it exceeded my expectations (　ﾟдﾟ) The thick-cut gyutan was especially delicious, crispy, tender, and creamy!! I'm so glad I decided to participate!! If there's an opportunity in the future, I'd love to join another dinner party (＞人＜;)

Nowadays, the popular yakiniku restaurant "Yakiniku Hormone Araiya Nikai" has firmly established itself in Shibuya. I went to have a meal with salon members. The location is on the second floor of the main store in Hyakken-ten. There are only 12 table seats, 6 seats each, and it can be reserved for 7 people or more. This time, we added a 10,000 yen all-you-can-drink option. If you're going to drink, the all-you-can-drink option is definitely worth it. The meat is perfectly calculated from the cut to the arrangement. The yukhoe is delicious. The sweet aroma of the beef is elegant. And the thick tongue is a pleasure to bite into. The thickness of the tongue is beyond comparison. After the salt and sauce meat, we moved on to the hormone meat. The alcohol kept flowing. After the fried rice, there was a special mapo tofu with meat, only available to regular customers. We mix it with white rice. There are no unnecessary items like sea urchin or caviar at Araiya. The focus is on the meat, with minimal decoration and work done to make the meat delicious. This is how it should be. No, this is perfect. It was a wonderful dinner with everyone.
