Nodata Nabe-niku (Miso) \430 Negireba \630 TsukuP \430 Next to the Nodata Nabe-niku specialty store is "Hanare" (the entrance facing the road, not the one with stairs). The interior has only a counter with about 8 seats. I was lucky to enter the restaurant after waiting for about 5 minutes, as it was a popular spot with other customers being turned away due to full capacity. I ordered the Nuppi set, which came with shochu and non-alcoholic beer in a bottle. It was surprisingly easy to drink and enjoyable. For food, I initially wanted to order the salt simmered dish, but the staff asked if it was my first time there and recommended trying the menu items listed under "Mazu wa." They seemed confident in their recommendation, so I changed my order. The result was amazing! The Negireba had tender liver without any unpleasant taste, and the simmered dish (Miso) was soft and flavorful. The TsukuP, consisting of minced meatballs and bell peppers, was a delightful combination of crunchy peppers and tender meatballs. Overall, the dishes were delicious, and I look forward to trying a different simmered dish next time. Thank you for the meal.

Nodata Hanare, a specialty simmered motsu (offal) shop in Shinjuku, is located on the first street you come to after heading down the back alley from the B3 exit of Shinjuku Sanchome Station. Their highball is delicious with a refreshing carbonation, and their tsukune skewers with peppers and negi liver are fresh and have a delightful texture.

It's crowded in Shinjuku Sanchome on Saturday. It's the Obon holiday season. Cheers with a draft beer! Kirin, for 605 yen. Grilled green onion liver for 600 yen. Assorted five kinds of beef tongue, Kobe, heart, white, and stomach. They are all delicious. I forgot to take a picture... I'm sorry, everyone. Shinjuku highball for 563 yen. It's a narrow and hot space. I drank too much because it was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Located just a 2-minute walk from Shinjuku Sanchome Station, or within 10 minutes from Shinjuku Station, this restaurant is always packed due to its popularity. I visited the place on a Friday at 7:30 PM and surprisingly didn't have to wait at all. The menu includes cabbage as a starter, boiled tongue, green onion liver, miso stew, raw pork intestines, unlimited green peppers, and drinks. The total cost for one person is around 2,500 yen, making it a great value for the quality of food. Reservations are not accepted, and the restaurant is open from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM on weekdays and from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM on weekends and holidays. Payment can be made with various credit cards or PayPay. The average cost for two people is 5,100 yen. The restaurant has a rating of 3.39 on Tabelog.

I visited "Hanare" with my daughter before watching the Slam Dunk movie at Balt 9 for a quick bite. Luckily, there were two seats available at the counter and we were seated right away. It was disappointing that the boiled tongue was sold out, but the recommended dishes along with raw heart were delicious. Especially, the "Cheese Soy Sauce Pickles" were excellent as a snack with alcohol.

It was my first visit and I arrived early, so I was able to enter smoothly. I ordered a dish called "Nuppi" and it turned out to be non-alcoholic beer instead of Hoppy, which was fine. The simmered motsu (offal) and 5 skewers of tan (beef tongue) were delicious. The raw beef skewers and pickled cucumber were also great! Overall, everything was very tasty and I enjoyed it.

"Nodata Hanare in Shinjuku Sanchome is a popular restaurant specializing in motsu-nikomi (simmered offal). The reason it's always crowded is because the food is delicious, the cost performance is excellent, and the staff provide exceptional service. Thank you very much! Both the first and second dishes were fantastic! A place where you can enjoy both meals."

After having a daytime drink with friends and feeling like we still wanted more, we decided to look for a place to drink in Shinjuku San-chome. We found a specialty restaurant that serves motsu-ni, which we both love, so we were excited to try it out! Although we intended to go to the main store, we ended up at a different location. Luckily, there was a two-person table available, so we were able to get seated right away without waiting. Despite having tried various foods at a beer festival, we couldn't resist ordering more delicious items at the restaurant! Here's what we ordered: - Cucumber and cabbage pickles as a complimentary appetizer. It was refreshing and we ended up getting seconds twice! - Miso motsu-ni (490 yen): The salted motsu was sold out, so we went with miso flavor. The specialty shop really showed in the well-marinated and delicious taste. - Half-boiled seasoned egg (450 yen): The flavor was amazing and paired well with enoki mushrooms and marinated egg. - Hoso-sun bamboo shoot in Kochi-style simmered sauce (450 yen): After having motsu-ni and spicy egg, this dish tasted even more gentle in flavor. - Tongue skewer (200 yen) - Gizzard skewer (230 yen) - Green onion wrapped in meat (230 yen) - Throat cartilage (230 yen) - Recommended 5-piece motsu-yaki skewer assortment (1050 yen): We shared each skewer one by one, and the presentation with green onions on top was a nice touch. The skewers were perfect for pairing with drinks, and the grilling was just right. I was curious about what a "Gari Shochu Highball" would be like, and it turned out to be a highball with pink ginger slices in it! As a ginger lover, I enjoyed the ginger slices as a great snack. This was my first visit, but the restaurant had a very cozy atmosphere. I look forward to trying out their affiliated restaurants next time! Thank you for the delicious meal!

On this day, I went to Numata with a drinking buddy. There are about three popular motsunabe (tripe hot pot) restaurants in Shinjuku 3-chome. I mistakenly entered Numata Hanare on the first floor of the building where the main store is located on the second floor. Since it was open, we decided to stay here. We ordered Numata's original "Nuppi" set, cabbage appetizer, negi liver, tsukune skewers, and motsunabe. The Nuppi was made with Kirin's Greens Free mixed with shochu, not Hoppy, and it was delicious. The cabbage appetizer was tasty with a hint of shiso. The negi liver was flavorful with plenty of green onions and sesame oil. The tsukune skewers were hot and delicious, with a good balance of meat and crunchy bell peppers. The motsunabe was cooked in miso and had various cuts of meat, although it was a bit plain compared to the other dishes. The staff were friendly, and I would recommend Numata for anyone craving motsunabe in Shinjuku 3-chome.

I visited this restaurant based on a recommendation from a colleague, and it was indeed a great find! I arrived on a Sunday evening around 5 pm and the place was almost full, but I was able to get a seat quickly thanks to a customer leaving. The atmosphere was lively and everyone seemed to be enjoying their drinks at the counter (there was also a small table for two near the entrance). I tried the stewed beef tripe, which came in three flavors (miso, soy sauce, salt), and the staff recommended the miso flavor for first-timers. It was rich and delicious. The standout dish for me was the "negi liver." The liver was tender and flavorful, and the combination with chopped green onions, sesame oil, and sesame seeds was perfect. It was definitely worth the price. The place was busy with customers coming in every 15 minutes or so between 5 pm and 7 pm. It's a popular spot, and I can see why. Overall, a great dining experience!

I rely on this place for day drinking and night drinking. We started at 3:00 PM and managed to secure a spot at the front, but it quickly filled up. In addition to the usual course, I decided to try the salted simmered tripe. They mentioned it was different from the regular simmered tripe, so I asked for it to experience a unique taste. It seems they use a different part of the tripe, giving it a meatier texture. It's refined and delicious in its own way.

I like the casual and lively atmosphere at Numata where you can enjoy drinking without any pretense. The food is delicious and goes well with the drinks. The staff and other customers are friendly, making it a great place to hang out. I'm happy that they have Asahi beer in bottles too.

On a Saturday evening in January 2023, I went to Shinjuku mainly to explore the department store basements. While the various deli dishes and bento boxes looked tempting, I hesitated to actually make a purchase due to the prices. Instead, I decided to spend my money at "Hanare," a specialty shop for simmered tripe dishes located near the popular "Numata" simmered tripe shop in Shinjuku Sanchome. The small shop has only 8 counter seats and allows smoking inside. I ordered two draft beers, two homemade lemon sours, two plain shochu highballs, an appetizer, potato salad, simmered tripe with leeks, miso simmered tripe, a dish called "tsukupi," and a skewer assortment. The standout dish was the simmered tripe with leeks, which was moist and flavorful. The total bill for two people was 6,589 yen, and despite the cramped space and smoking allowance, the excellent service and quality of food made it a satisfying experience.

I used to see this place and always wanted to try it someday. Went in for the first time with a friend. It's a counter-only restaurant, and the owner's skills and service are top-notch. They recommended dishes and how to eat them, with 3 types of simmered dishes, amazing tsukune, and rare cuts for grilled items. I heard they might be relocating soon, so I'll definitely follow them to their new location.

Nobuta-san, a popular izakaya in Shinjuku Sanchome! First, take a sip of their homemade lemon sour. It's sweet and delicious. A must-order is their "Negireba" with plenty of green onion on top! It tends to sell out quickly, so make sure to order it. There are three types of simmered offal, but I recommend trying the miso or soy sauce first! There is no unpleasant smell, just the exquisite flavor of soy sauce. It's so delicious... The salted garlic also looks tempting. And you'll get addicted to the half-cooked narcotic egg with enoki mushrooms and chives, topped with a rich and spicy sauce and yellow egg. The famous tsukune (chicken meatball) is a must-try too. The crunchy cartilage-filled tsukune sandwiched between raw green peppers was heavenly. The harami skewer was so tender it was mind-blowing. Thank you for the meal!

The restaurant was full, so I was seated at the counter. It's a cozy place, perfect for solo dining. They offer a unique set where you mix non-alcoholic beer with a drink called "零ICHI". I tried the popular dish, "ねぎれば" and simmered dish (miso). The "ねぎれば" was delicious with a rare texture and went well with the green onions. The simmered dish had various cuts of meat and was tasty, but not as impressive as the "ねぎれば". The cabbage appetizer was a refreshing touch. I also ordered grilled "かしら". It was cooked well, but I prefer the "ねぎれば". I felt that their side dishes like boiled tongue are probably delicious, so I want to try more of them next time. Overall, a place worth visiting again for their unique dishes.

"Motsu stew specialty store Numata" - There's just one word for it: insanely delicious. Melt-in-your-mouth negi liver, the mythical yukke with a 15-minute expiration date, chewy motsu yaki that disappears as soon as you bite into it? Plus, top-level motsu stew and hardcore Japanese sake and shochu to enjoy. The place is always packed with die-hard fans, and it's a definite repeat visit. I went to this deep, authentic restaurant and it was amazing.

Last night, I went to a specialty shop for simmered tripe called "Numata" in Shinjuku. There are several branches around Shinjuku San-chome, but I happened to enter this particular one. When I arrived, there were only two girls inside, but soon after, male customers kept coming in and the place quickly filled up. Several groups of two were turned away later on. I started by choosing some grilled skewers, and the owner (there were no other staff) recommended the "Five-piece Tripe Skewer Set," so I obediently ordered that, as well as the "Numata Specialty Tsukune-P" tripe stew in miso. Although the owner didn't explain it to me, apparently at this shop, you should first try the tripe stew in miso and soy sauce before trying it with salt or curry, in order to fully appreciate the different ingredients inside. I couldn't finish everything, so I later ordered the tripe stew in soy sauce as well. The "Five-piece Set" included tripe, liver, cow head, throat cartilage, and guts, but I also wanted to try the white grilled tripe and the maruchou and teppo, so I added those to my order. The grilling of the skewers was well done. The white grilled tripe wasn't as good as a certain restaurant in Tachikawa, but it was still impressive. The "Tsukune-P" is a popular menu item where minced meat is stuffed inside a raw green pepper. Since I'm not skilled enough to stuff the meat myself, I just ate the meat and pepper together. Both the skewers and the tripe stew were delicious, so I will definitely visit again.

Motsu stew specialty shop Numata Hanare @ Shinjuku Sanchome Tokyo Metro Shinjuku Sanchome Station is a 1-minute walk away, located in the drinking district on the east side of Isetan Shinjuku Store, "Motsu stew specialty shop Numata" annex (hanare). It is located behind the rakugo theater "Shinjuku Suehiro-tei". The main store is on the second floor of the adjacent building and has about 30 seats, but this "hanare" is a small shop with only 8 counter seats. Established in 1950 in the Tenjin-dori shopping street in front of Chofu Station, a long-established motsu-yaki restaurant "Ishii" group franchise store, which operates multiple izakaya chain stores in Tokyo such as "Nihon Saisei Sakaba" and "Shinjuku Hormone". The "Numata" brand here is operated by a company called "Coffee Shinsenkan" as a franchise, which originally supplied coffee beans to Ishii group restaurants and then expanded into the izakaya business. The name "Numata" is the name of the president of Coffee Shinsenkan. Ishii group sources motsu (offal meat) from the Shibaura Meat Market in Shinagawa and the Takasaki Meat Center in Gunma Prefecture. In order to cherish the original trading partners, Ishii's directly operated stores use Shibaura, while franchise chains use Takasaki. The hormone used for motsu stew and motsu yaki is sourced using the unique technology "Partial Snow" introduced by the Ishii group. Originally derived from the technology of "Partial Liquid" used in human organ transplants for organ transport, the technology of "Partial Snow" (hormone preservation liquid) can keep the hormone fresh for a long time by "partial freezing preservation". The appetizer (200 yen per person) is the familiar salted cabbage julienne from Ishii. It goes well with motsu yaki and the chopped shiso leaves add a nice aroma. ● Nuppy Set 550 yen The popular "Hoppy" at Tokyo's popular drinking spots is not handled by the Ishii group for some reason. Numata's original "Nuppy" is a way of mixing shochu with Kirin's non-alcoholic beer (Zeroichi). Of course, refills are also available. ● Negireba 660 yen The popular menu item Negireba, which is number one, is an appetizer of pork liver grilled with plenty of leeks like the condiment for beef tongue salt at a yakiniku restaurant. The liver is not smelly, slightly rare, and not dry, making it delicious. ● Stewed (Spicy Miso) 473 yen The specialty stew, which is also listed in the name of the store, comes in 6 varieties: spicy miso, miso, soy sauce, salt, curry, and wagyu tendon (demiglace). For spicy miso and miso, they use pork intestines, stomach, beef gallbladder, soy sauce uses beef blind intestine, gallbladder, lung, spleen, salt uses beef facial muscle tendon, curry uses pork throat meat, and different parts are used for each flavor. ● Stewed (Salt) 429 yen The seasoning of the salt stew changes daily, and on this day, it was plum salt flavor. The sourness of the plum makes the sake go down smoothly. You can also enjoy the difference in texture and taste as the parts used for spicy miso are different. ● Tsuk-P 473 yen A set of two tsukune skewers and raw green peppers. Remove the tsukune from the skewer, place it on the green pepper, crush the tsukune with your fingers, and enjoy it like "stuffed green peppers". The crispy surface of the tsukune and the crunchy texture of the green pepper match perfectly with the spiciness. I liked it so much that I ordered another one later. ● Homemade Lemon Sour 528 yen A lemon sour made with homemade lemon-infused liquor. The natural sweetness, acidity, and bitterness of the lemon are perfect for washing down the fat of motsu yaki. ● Motsuyaki 5-piece assortment 1045 yen An assorted set of 5 motsu yaki grilled items. They are served in the order they are grilled, with 1-2 pieces at a time. This time, it included tongue, diaphragm, pork belly, large intestine, and beef cheek. All of them are delicious without any smell.

Just a 2-minute walk from Shinjuku-sanchome Station and about a 6-minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station, "Nakata," a specialty shop for simmered offal, has a total of 3 stores in the vicinity of Sanchome. I visited the "hanare" this time, which has a calm atmosphere with only a counter seat. I barely made it in around 7:30 pm on Friday. They offer skewers ranging from 150 yen to 330 yen each, Nakata's specialty "tsuku P" for 430 yen, simmered offal (spicy miso) for 430 yen, white raw pork intestines for 600 yen, and potato salad for 450 yen. Both the skewers and the side dishes are delicious no matter what you order! The appetizer was also refreshing and tasty! (8th picture) The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is comfortable! The simmered offal in spicy miso was quite spicy, so I ate it while easing the spiciness with the potato salad, but the meat was tender and delicious with plenty of meat! In addition to spicy miso, there are also miso, soy sauce, salt, curry, and wagyu beef tendon with demiglace. I want to revisit and try them all. I highly recommend ordering the "tsuku P" and pork throat cartilage (personal preference). The tsuku P has a strong flavor in the tsukune itself, and the fresh raw green pepper goes perfectly with it. I like the texture of the pork throat cartilage. I just love everything. By the way, they operate as "#Kaikoya" for lunch, so ramen lovers should definitely try it out! #TokyoGourmet #ShinjukuSanchome #ShinjukuGourmet #Shinjuku #ShinjukuIzakaya #ShinjukuSanchomeIzakaya #ShinjukuRamen #ShinjukuLunch #ShinjukuDinner #ShinjukuSanchomeLunch #GourmetInTokyo #Foodie #WantToConnectWithFoodies #WantToConnectWithPeopleWhoLoveEatingOut #WantToConnectWithPeopleWhoLoveGoodFood #WantToConnectWithPeopleWhoLoveAlcohol #FoodieGirls #FoodPorn #FoodTerrorist #Foodstagram #Gourmetstagram #FoodieGirls #Foodstagram #TokyoFood #Instafood

Motsuyaki Numata Honten was fully booked, so I visited Hanare, which serves ramen during the day. The Negi Shiroreba with sesame oil and green onions was delicious. The sliced white liver was so thin that it was hard to tell what I was eating haha. Even just the pickled vegetables served as an appetizer were quite tasty. The variety of simmered motsu dishes included soy sauce, miso, spicy miso, and curry flavors, all of which were delicious. The alcohol was reasonably priced, but after drinking two mega highballs, the bill added up haha. The reason for its popularity is the great taste. Thank you for the meal.
