Yamachikar Yakiniku & Hormone
A classic yakiniku-hormone restaurant about 4 minutes walk from Kisogawa Station. Yahoo! Maps 4.21/113 reviews. A true local gem embodying 'delicious, fast, and cheap': pork liver at 200 yen, kalbi and tongue under 1,000 yen. High-quality meat at unbelievably low prices keeps locals coming back. Average dinner cost 2,000-3,000 yen; seating is hard to come by due to constant busyness. Meat takeout available. Heavy smoke—come prepared—but locals love it for that Showa-era charm.
'The hormone is genuinely cheap and delicious—a true local gem.' 'Pork liver at 200 yen is unbelievably cheap and tasty.' 'Heavy smoke but worth coming back every week.' 'When in Kisogawa, this is the only place.' 'Worth reserving ahead.'
