Just past the Kashiwa Interchange on Route 16, this one-dish-only legend serves nothing but motsu-ni (stewed pork offal). An astonishing Google Maps rating of 4.3 (1,537 reviews) and selected as Tabelog Teishoku Top 100 (2024, 2026). Lines form 15 minutes before opening, and the lunch-only, 'closes when sold out' style only adds to the legend. Tender offal with no off-odor in a sweet-savory broth, beloved across generations in Kashiwa. Takeout (until 19:30) is popular with fans who bring it home as a souvenir.
'I can't believe there's a place this legendary near Kashiwa interchange. This is the #1 motsu-ni in Japan in my opinion.' 'No off-odor at all, tender, with a perfect sweet-savory sauce.' 'Lining up 15 minutes before opening—absolutely no regrets.' 'Brought the takeout home to my parents and they were moved.'
