What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1952, this salt-seasoned pork hormone spot is a true Asahikawa institution known affectionately as 'Baba-horu.' The menu consists of a single item: an assorted pork offal platter. The unchanged Showa-era atmosphere and charcoal brazier grilling style endure to this day. Takeout available from around 4pm until sold out. An extraordinary local presence: 395 Tabelog reviews and 17,750 saves — staggering numbers for a regional city.

Hailed as 'the original Asahikawa salt hormone shop,' praised for fresh offal and superb seasoning. TripAdvisor 4.3 (63 reviews), Tabelog 3.57 (395 reviews) with 17,750 saves. Many regular-customer comments: 'moved every time I visit,' 'lines form early for takeout.'
