Personally, I prefer a sweeter, richer soy-based stew, so this was just average for me. It had plenty of konnyaku and offal (without fat), but since the portions were small, it felt easy to eat. However, I probably wouldn’t order it again.**Premium Tongue** Delicious! I always think this quality at this price is a great deal, no matter how many times I visit! Next time, I might order two servings!**Liver** It was fresher than last time, but it seems to vary depending on when you visit. While there was no unpleasant odor, it felt a bit mushy. However, it was thick and tasty. (Next time, I plan to order tongue instead of liver, which can be hit or miss.)**Outside Skirt** Not too fatty, tender, and delicious. If you prefer fatty outside skirt like at Koyo, you might find this lacking, but I personally prefer this version. (A friend who usually finds fatty meat too much said they could enjoy this outside skirt without feeling overwhelmed!)**Mountain Chain Tripe** This was a great palate cleanser! I randomly ordered it and hit the jackpot! I usually don’t prefer tripe at other places (too thick and chewy for my taste), but this was thin, easy to eat, fresh, and had a good amount of fatty meat, making it a perfect palate cleanser! I’ll definitely order it again! It was also delicious with the liver sauce!**Fatty Heart** Thanks to the mountain chain tripe, I didn’t feel much fat, and I enjoyed it more than when I had two servings on my first visit! It was very tender, and I really like their heart!**Abomasum** I’ve had abomasum at other places, but this is my favorite! It has a nice balance of fat and a bit of a chewy texture, making it delicious! When the meat arrived, I thought it looked thin, but it puffed up while grilling, revealing more fat, which was tasty! I enjoy horumon, so I paired it well with rice! (My friend, who dislikes fat, was satisfied with just one piece.)**Sukisuki** It includes two pieces each of lean meat and strip loin. The egg comes with grated Japanese radish, and the seasoned meat is delicious when grilled and eaten smoothly! The grated radish adds a great flavor! I love both types of meat! The lean meat was thicker than last time, which was a pleasant surprise!**Curry** As always, adding the egg from the sukisuki makes it milder and delicious! I ran out of rice and had to order a small serving!… While there’s no option for a course, I had a wonderful time enjoying the a la carte menu! Everything was delicious, and I’m glad I could walk in without a reservation on the same day! I’ll definitely be back soon! I’ve already visited three times in the past month!
