Colleagues and I visited this place for the first time, which opened 2-3 months ago. We arrived around 7:40 pm on a weekday, and there were only 2 other customers. Since it was newly opened, the interior was very clean and inviting. The food was delicious, and you could really taste the freshness, which is crucial for this type of cuisine. Especially the "Fatty Liver Sashimi (759 yen)" was amazing - creamy and rich without any unpleasant smell. Everyone loved it. Another highlight was the "Salted Tripe Stew (539 yen)" - the savory flavor of the ingredients really came through in this salt-based tripe stew, and it was also excellent. With such delicious food, the drinks were flowing, and in the end, we spent just under 15,000 yen for three people. We had a great time and enjoyed the meal.

During the day, I went to Hanuri for Korean food, and at night, I went to Fujiya. I made a reservation for Sunday night. The restaurant was almost full, and our reserved table was in the busiest area in the middle with no reserved plate, which seemed suspicious. I chose this restaurant because I saw a recommended Toro Liver dish on the timeline. We ordered using a QR code. Since the Toro Liver was limited in quantity, we ordered drinks first. Cheers with a highball! The appetizer was cabbage with spicy miso. The Toro Liver arrived. It was thick! Clearly, it was Toro Liver! However, the sauce had spread out on the plate, which was disappointing. Maybe it was brought outside from the kitchen before serving... Well, let's try it. It was delicious! It was melt-in-your-mouth, tender yet crispy with a bit of chewiness. The liver taste was minimal. It was a promising experience at a new restaurant! We ordered more with Uji matcha highball for me and coffee cocktail for my friend. The tea and coffee were delicious. I couldn't taste the alcohol. We added green peppers and meatballs. But then, the meatballs also had green peppers on them! I was planning to eat the meatballs wrapped in green peppers, but now the table was covered in green. The green peppers with sesame and sesame oil were okay, I guess? Well, it didn't taste good. Let's try the meatballs. They had cartilage for a nice chewy texture, but the grilling was too light. My friend and I felt the same way, and we fell silent in the lively restaurant. We decided to leave after eating. At that moment, a different-sized Toro Liver was brought to the table next to us! It was much smaller! There are hits and misses here... Thanks for the meal.

This is a restaurant where the liver is very delicious! It's a must-order dish. We also ordered motsunabe, which was tasty and flavorful, very easy to eat. We also ordered mentaiko separately and enjoyed it together for a different taste. Even on a hot day, the motsunabe was great, but I want to go back when it gets colder.

I visited this restaurant to enjoy some delicious liver sashimi! The liver sashimi, which is their specialty, was amazing, but the liver and green onion skewers were also very tasty. The food was served quickly, and the service was polite and attentive. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I called on the same day, so we sat outside. It wasn't too hot and the atmosphere was nice and cozy. It was busy because it was the weekend. It had a typical vibe of a street corner shop, which was enjoyable. Cheers with a Rich Highball. The skewers were all delicious and just the right amount of salt. The quality seemed to match the price. It was great value for money! - Cabbage and miso as a starter - Forgot to take a picture of the diaphragm skewer - Tongue for $1.70 - Cheek meat for $1.60 The cheek meat had a good chewy texture that I liked. It was a fun night. Thank you for the meal!

There were plenty of drinks and all the food was delicious! It was very crowded, but the service was quite fast which was great! Just be aware that there are specific times you can order using the QR code. I will definitely come back!

I found a shop where smoking (including electronic cigarettes) is allowed and they close early, so I was able to enter quickly around 4:30 pm. The location is a 2-minute walk from Shinjuku 3-chome Station. The interior of the shop is clean and bright, but a bit small. I had plenty of space to sit as it was early, but it quickly filled up. Orders are placed by scanning a QR code with a mobile phone. I ordered a selection of skewers, toro (fatty tuna) sashimi, and salted tripe stew. Overall, the food was very reasonably priced and delicious. The salt-based tripe stew was refreshing, and the toro sashimi was thick and fresh. The bright and clean interior makes it a convenient casual izakaya to drink at. It quickly filled up with customers, so I recommend making a reservation in advance.

This is my second time here. This time, a friend from my hometown in the countryside visited and wanted to try a restaurant that isn't available back home. You must try the Toro Lever sashimi here! It's so fresh and consistently delicious (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*). The green onion liver is also very tasty. The alcohol here is just right in terms of richness and is delicious!

Mobile ordering. Once you get used to it, it's convenient. The skewers are all delicious and cheap. The assorted plate of raw meat served at a low temperature is just the right amount. The liver sashimi is limited in quantity, so I thought it wouldn't be included in the assorted plate, but when I ordered it separately, it was included in it. The thickness is amazing. It's so delicious, I finished it in no time. The tomato highball is made with tomato juice, not just soda, which I like. Ordering the regular size rather than the mega jug is more cost-effective. It looks big, but it's just the equivalent of one regular size drink. I think it's delicious and affordable.

Second visit in a year!! I made sure to reserve the Toro liver sashimi this time since it was not available last time!! It was incredibly delicious!! My friend couldn't drink alcohol because they were driving, so we didn't stay long, but it was amazing!! The liver was still delicious!

Shinjuku Sanchome, Fujiya, Negileber, and Hatsu. The skewers here are really delicious. The Negileber has plenty of leeks, so it's recommended to eat it while trying other skewers. Reservations are easy to get, so it's recommended for weekends. I forgot to take a photo of the ramen at the end, but it was exquisite!

Nodasuke Nibitashi was fully booked, so I made a reservation at Fujiya for the first time. The restaurant is located on the same street as Nodasuke. When I arrived at 6:30 pm on a weekday, there were only a few groups of people, but it quickly became full. The dishes are similar to those at Nodasuke, specializing in grilled offal. I couldn't forget the Negi Liver I had at Nodasuke, so I ordered the same dish here. It was good, but I think I prefer Nodasuke's version. You have to order everything through your smartphone, and unfortunately, you can't choose your own sauce or salt, only the recommended ones. I prefer sauce on my liver though. The restaurant is divided into two parts, and you have to step out and enter the neighboring shop to use the restroom, which was a bit inconvenient. The place seems very clean and new, and overall, I think it's a good restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

I forgot to take a photo last time, so I came back for revenge✨ The liver sashimi was delicious as always❣️ And this time, I tried the salted tripe stew that I didn't order last time‼️ The tripe was tender and tasty, but a little bland. They serve drinks in tumblers, so they are ice-cold❣️ It was delicious‼️

The salted motsu (offal) counter seats we visited some time ago were cozy, as my senior and I enjoyed our drinks. The salted motsu had a gentle flavor, not too salty but rather refreshing, with a warm and comforting touch unique to motsu stew. Overall, the menu was decent and suitable for a casual izakaya experience. The staff's service was also normal, which was just right. There are many different restaurants in Shinjuku Sanchome, but I think this one is easy to walk into and enjoy.

During a meeting with the staff, I went to Yakiniku Fujii in Shinjuku Sanchome, which opens at 3pm! I arrived right at 3pm and the place was already packed! It seems to be a branch of the popular yakiniku restaurant Fujii, known for their fresh morning hormone dishes. They serve a variety of dishes cooked over charcoal. The atmosphere was lively, and I ordered their famous lemon sour with fresh lemon. I also ordered their specialty sashimi platter with heart, tongue, liver, and fatty tuna. Everything was fresh and delicious! The mentaiko (spicy cod roe) was a perfect snack to go with drinks. Their fried dishes were also great, especially the chicken wings and thick ham cutlet. The fried kibinago (small silver-stripe round herring) was generous in portion. The skewers were also tasty, including shiitake mushrooms, green onions, tongue, and knuckle. Lastly, we had the hearty motsu nabe (tripe hot pot) and finished with hojicha (roasted green tea) and vanilla ice cream. We were completely satisfied with the meal!

I came to Shinjuku again today and found a similar restaurant to the delicious offal shop I visited last time. I found it in Shinjuku Sanchome and decided to give it a try. This restaurant offers a variety of grilled offal skewers and offal hot pot, so I chose this place. The atmosphere of the restaurant was clean and cozy with a wooden interior. It is located just a short walk from Shinjuku Sanchome Station. - Ordered dishes: The appetizer was cabbage with miso, a simple yet excellent dish that goes well with any grilled skewer. - Heart sashimi - Tongue sashimi - Toroliver sashimi There was also sashimi that was cooked at a low temperature. The sashimi was truly delicious, with a texture that felt like eating it raw. It was addictive. - Tongue base - Sagari (diaphragm) - Shiitake mushrooms - Green onions All the grilled skewers were thick and flavorful, a meat lover's dream. The meat was fresh and delicious. - Ham cutlet The ham cutlet was also thick and crispy, just the way I like it. - Offal hot pot It was not listed as a standalone item on the menu, but when I asked the staff, I was able to order it. The hot pot was packed with vegetables and offal, and the soup was flavorful. The generous portion left me feeling satisfied. Overall, I was very satisfied with the delicious grilled skewers and meat sashimi. The restaurant was busy with many customers, indicating its popularity. The staff was friendly and made the dining experience enjoyable. I would love to come back here whenever I crave grilled skewers or meat sashimi. Thank you for the meal.

Shinjuku Sanchome's gourmet street is lined with various categories of restaurants, but one of the most lively spots is "Motsuyaki Shinjuku Sanchome Fujiya". The restaurant has outdoor seating, which was full of customers on the day of my visit. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes ranging from 100 yen to 500-600 yen, including skewers, sashimi, salads, appetizers, main dishes, rice, and desserts. I started with fresh sashimi, including "Tongue Sashimi" and "Fatty Liver Sashimi" (limited quantity), which were both incredibly fresh and delicious. The Fatty Liver Sashimi, in particular, melted in my mouth and was a must-try. Despite the bustling crowd, I managed to order the limited quantity Fatty Liver Sashimi. I also ordered the "Salted Offal Stew" to warm up on a cold day, which was hearty and flavorful with tender offal. For snacks, I tried the "Potato Salad" and "Quail Egg Simmered in Soy Sauce", both of which were delicious. The combination of quail eggs and mayonnaise was especially delightful. Moving on to skewers, I tried the "Tsukune" and "Liver Stew" which were both satisfying and full of flavor. Lastly, I couldn't resist trying the "Motsuyaki Ramen" as a finale, which was rich in umami with chunks of offal in the broth. The noodles were perfectly cooked and complemented the soup well. Despite being full, the delicious noodles disappeared quickly. Overall, this popular restaurant offers generous portions, great flavors, and excellent value for money. I would definitely visit again! Thank you for the delicious meal!

For those who love raw food, you must visit this place. The Toro Leba sashimi is a must-try dish. It is fresh and has no fishy smell! Dip it in sesame oil and salt for a perfect taste. The texture is chewy and elastic. This time, I gave up on the motsunabe and enjoyed the izakaya menu with plum wine! The person at the next table was praising the motsunabe, so I will try it next time. You can also order the shime ramen even if you don't have motsunabe. -------------Points------------- ❶ Casual izakaya where you can drink easily ❷ Excellent freshness of the liver sashimi! ❸ Great cost performance!

I went to Fujiya, a motsu-yaki restaurant in Shinjuku San-chome, after heading towards Suehiro-tei from Isetan Shinjuku. Even though it's getting cold, I always start with a glass of draft beer. The foam was fine and it was served in a copper tumbler, making it easy to drink and delicious. The appetizer was cabbage with garlic miso, which was quite tasty. I've been into raw green peppers lately, so I often eat them at home too. It's simple to prepare with sesame oil and salt, but very tasty. The meat here is more like beef than offal, very tender and flavorful. I tried the tare sauce with wasabi, which added a nice kick. I switched to the famous nama lemon sour made with shochu frozen in Shari-kin, which gives a refreshing sensation. I also ordered my favorite tebasaki (chicken wings) with salt and pepper, which had a nice spicy kick. The negi-yaki (grilled leek) and shiitake-yaki were both delicious, especially with the soy sauce flavor. We ordered the Hakata-style beef motsu nabe for two, which was flavorful with plenty of burdock and large pieces of motsu. The gobo (burdock) and rich soup made the ingredients tasty. The motsu was chewy and delicious, especially with a highball. Finally, we had champon noodles as the finishing touch, which is always a satisfying way to end a nabe meal. It was a happy moment, feeling content. When we left after 8 pm, the outdoor seats were full. Despite the cold weather, it's not so bad when you're on your second or third stop and a little tipsy. I sometimes enjoy drinking in such a situation.

I went to Motsuyaki Fujiya in Shinjuku 3-chome. The layout of the restaurant is a bit unusual, with two separate sections operating as if they were two different stores. The left side has the kitchen, restroom, and table seating, while the right side only has table seating. The staff seemed to have a bit of a hard time moving around to serve the food. It was a cold day, so I was in the mood for some motsu (offal) dishes. I walked into the restaurant around 6:30 pm on a weekday, and it was quite crowded. They mentioned that there was a two-hour time limit due to the busy season in December. Looking at the menu, I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable the side dishes were! Skewers ranged from 150 yen, and you could order just one. The drink menu had a variety of highballs, shochu highballs, and sours. Orders were placed by scanning a QR code, which felt quite modern. The draft beer was served in a tumbler, which was stylish. It kept cold and refreshed my throat. The appetizer was garlic miso cabbage, with a generous amount of miso on big cuts of cabbage. It had a rich and delicious flavor. The raw green pepper with sesame oil was crispy and tasty. I left a bit to eat in between skewers, which worked well. The macaroni salad was creamy with a homemade touch, which I enjoyed. The tantan (rare part) was a limited and rare cut with delicious fatty goodness. The hara-mi (belly) had a good chewiness and juiciness, enhanced by the pepper. The komemimi (temple) had a moderate texture and juiciness, especially when dipped in mustard. The negi-yaki (grilled leek) was simple with just salt seasoning, allowing the natural flavors to shine. I usually avoid mentaiko due to concerns about salt and purines, but I decided to indulge a bit this time. It was a bit too spicy for my liking. I also ordered the motsu nabe (offal hot pot), which was limited in quantity. It was made with fresh offal, plenty of leeks, burdock, tofu, green onions, cabbage, and more. I like my vegetables slightly soft, and the cabbage soaked up the sweet soup nicely. The offal was tender with no unpleasant odor or taste. The garlic-flavored soup paired perfectly with the offal. Adding the mentaiko enhanced the spicy flavor of the motsu nabe. The finely sliced burdock absorbed the flavors well. For dessert, I had champon, a noodle dish with a flavorful soup that was chewy and satisfying. It was a perfect way to end the meal. Despite the busy restaurant, the staff was efficient, and additional orders were handled smoothly. Eating motsu nabe on a cold night warmed me up and left me feeling happy as I headed home.

In 2019, "Motsuyaki Shinjuku Sanchome Fujiya" opened. It is a motsuyaki restaurant that has branches in Hamamatsucho, Gotanda, and now in Nishi-Shinjuku as well. Located in a relatively quiet area on the outskirts of the bustling Shinjuku Sanchome district. The restaurant has a decent number of seats, but it's almost always full, so it's recommended to make a reservation. The menu includes skewers, raw meat dishes, and appetizers. You order by scanning a QR code, and the service is relatively quick. The "Assorted Raw Meat" for 1390 yen (excluding tax) comes with tongue, heart, and toro liver on a large plate. The meats are pre-seasoned with a sesame oil-like flavor and cooked at a good temperature. The "Liver" for 160 yen is served rare with salt seasoning. It's fresh and delicious. The "Forehead" for 150 yen is flavored with miso, reminiscent of "Akimoto-ya". It's tender and tasty. The drink menu offers a variety of options, including bottled beers and refreshing lemon sours. The restaurant captures the charm of motsuyaki places well. The clientele tends to be younger and lively, perhaps due to its location. It's not a standing bar like "Nihon Saisei Sakaba" nearby, making it a good introduction to motsuyaki for newcomers.
