Yojo Hormon
Founded 40+ years ago, the definitive Kitami yakiniku institution. Selected as Yakiniku 100 Famous Shops 2020 and 2021. The Kitami style features charcoal-grilled shichirin and raw dipping sauce, with beef outside skirt (sagari) and pork hormone (rare large intestine cut) as the two signatures. All sunken seating with powerful smokeless roasters. Known locally as 'delicious and affordable — for locals, not tourists.' ~5 min walk from JR Kitami Station.
"The definitive Kitami yakiniku spot. The sagari is tender and juice runs from every bite." "The pork hormone uses the rare large intestine — thick and bouncy texture." "Used to feel like a local secret, but TripAdvisor put it on the map."
