※※Visit on July 16, 2021※※ ・Kalbi & Harami Lunch (Large) 1,080 yen Located near the north exit of JR Asagaya Station, "Horumon Yakiniku Buchi" is a yakiniku restaurant that has been in operation since July 2006. It is part of the Big Arm Corporation (headquarters: Kure City, established on April 2, 1999), which also operates "Sumibiyaki Gorou" and "Sumiyaki Ishikawa" among others, with branches in Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Kawagoe, and Asagaya. Due to the current inability to serve alcohol, they have started offering lunch specials as a last resort. The restaurant has an L-shaped counter and a few tables for four, with Showa-era songs playing in the background. For this visit, I chose the "Kalbi & Harami Lunch" with the large size option. The lunch came with salad and soup. The grilling is done over charcoal with a ventilation hood installed. The thickness of the Kalbi and Harami was lacking, with the Kalbi being decent but the Harami being tough. The sauce provided was a sweet marinade, which was good.

I had been curious about this restaurant for a while, so today I decided to go in by myself. It's a yakiniku restaurant, but since I was alone, I just had a meal without grilling meat. I tried the recommended menu item, Yukkejang udon, and it was quite delicious. I enjoyed it with beer, kimchi, and senmai, and felt relaxed as I headed home.

I visited for lunch on Sunday afternoon. I ordered the Kalbi and Harami lunch set with a side of Mino and a draft beer highball. The lunch set came with rice (choice of small, medium, or large), salad, and soup, making it very affordable. It was delicious.

At the end of the year, I visited the restaurant around 20:30. I went alone for yakiniku. The place was about 80% full, with a couple of other solo diners at the counter. I ordered cabbage, thick-cut tongue, kalbi, harami, raw beer, hoppy, mega highball, and so on. The meat was cut into small pieces overall, but it was worth the price as I could enjoy various types for a long time. It was delicious overall. I was worried about the reviews saying that the staff was unfriendly, but they seemed normal and I didn't really mind. The restaurant was quite busy probably due to the year-end rush.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of hormone dishes with a nostalgic Showa era atmosphere. The cost performance is average.

The assorted sashimi was delicious, but the service was lacking.

The sweet and savory sauce is great! The assorted hormone platter is impressive.

Mr. Teragawa's 500g of lean meat is delicious! It might be better to skip the hormone and just have the lean meat, and the bibimbap was also good.

It was delicious.

Well, it's like a normal yakiniku restaurant.

Setouchi lemon sour is the best!

Hormone yakiniku restaurant located at Asagaya Station on the JR Chuo Line. Great value for money. Today we are in Tokyo, Asagaya. At "Horumon Yakiniku Buchi Asagaya Store", we ordered the Hormone Assorted Platter. We started with a Namul platter for 490 yen and a homemade Kimchi platter for 680 yen. We then ordered Tongue Salt for 790 yen and Buchi Kalbi for 720 yen. We also got the great value Hormone Nine-Item Assorted Platter for 1680 yen. It's nice to be able to try a variety of meats little by little! And at 1680 yen, it's a great deal! The meat was explained to us when it was brought out, but we tend to forget after a while, especially when we're drinking. However, they kindly provided us with a note to refer to while eating. It's delicious! When you think of yakiniku, the expectations are high, but with this affordable set, you can enjoy it without breaking the bank. In addition to the set, there are plenty of other menu options. For dessert, we chose the Egg Soup for 280 yen and the Cold Noodles (Half) for 400 yen. These are also very cheap! This is a great place to go for a casual yakiniku meal. It's affordable and highly recommended!

"Horumon Yakiniku Buchi" operated by Big Arm Co., Ltd. in Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture. "Buchi" means "amazing" in Hiroshima dialect. The restaurant has branches in Hiroshima, Tokyo, Saitama, and Fukuoka, and this particular review is for the Asagaya branch in Tokyo. The interior has an L-shaped counter surrounding the kitchen with 8 seats and 4 tables for 4 people each. There are also seats on the second floor, totaling 58 seats according to the Tabelog page. The grilling of horumon and yakiniku is done using charcoal grills. The ventilation seems adequate with a duct for exhaust smoke hanging from the ceiling. I ordered a Lemon Gin Sonic (490 yen), a cocktail made with lime, lemon, gin, soda, and tonic water. It is listed as a "meat-eating carbonated water" at the top of the drink menu. It is refreshing and pairs well with horumon. Here are my reviews of the dishes I tried, with individual ratings in brackets. Prices are excluding tax. [3.0] Appetizer (200 yen) - Raw cabbage and cucumber served with salty meat miso. [2.5] Horumon Nine Variety Assortment (1,680 yen) - Includes Yao Kimo (lungs), Necktie (esophagus), Crunchy (aorta), Sibire (pancreas), Liver, Mino (first stomach), Nodobe (throat cartilage), Kobukuro (uterus), and Mame (kidney). Each type is served in small cuts of two pieces, allowing you to taste nine different varieties. Some parts like Yao Kimo and Mame have a unique texture and flavor, while others like Sibire, Liver, and Mino were less impressive. The restaurant's signature parts like Liver and Mino lacked flavor and had unpleasant bitterness and odor. Among the parts, Necktie, Crunchy, and Nodobe stood out as delicious. Necktie, a rare esophagus part in Tokyo, had a texture similar to tendon. Crunchy lived up to its name with a crunchy texture. Nodobe had a pleasant chewiness and a richer flavor compared to beef horumon. Overall, while the restaurant offered some challenging parts not commonly found in Tokyo, the quality of parts like Liver and Mino needs improvement for a horumon restaurant.

There are many yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) restaurants in Asagaya. For a high-end option, there's SATO BRIAN, and for a more affordable yet good value choice, there's Hesegawa. When you feel like having a casual yakiniku meal, Bucci is very convenient. One great thing about Bucci is that they offer a lot of hormone (offal) options. You can enjoy yakiniku without it being too greasy. We started with beer today, then had tongue and salt, followed by a platter of hormones. The cost performance is good. The amount of fat in the meat is just right. We will definitely visit again.

"Hormone Yakiniku Buchi Asagaya" is my first post on Retty. This Hiroshima-originated hormone and yakiniku restaurant is celebrating its 9th year in business. Oh, it's so delicious. I tried "Sagari" (beef diaphragm), which is rarely eaten in the Kanto region, and it was amazing. This place is in the deep world behind Asagaya Station. Let me take you there again. I read Retty and longed for standing bar, so I left work early and wandered around. There are several places, but I couldn't stop my feet until I saw the blackboard in the 5th photo and finally entered. I was thrilled to see beer, but it was a tabletop grill yakiniku, so it was tough for a solo diner. In addition to the hormone, the beef tail was tough but delicious. I also ordered Hoppy and added Nakaochi Kalbi, Harami, and Sagari. The first thing I ordered was "Black Wagyu Yukke". This, approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare! As a memorable store of Japan Elec-Tel Union, if it's not delicious, it's no good~~ It's absolutely as shown in the 8th photo, you should eat it with salt. It's sweet~ Even though I was alone, I ended up spending over 8000 yen. As usual, when I drink, I become bold, I'm sorry.
