New offal-specialty yakiniku restaurants open in Ichikawa and Kawasaki

New specialized yakiniku restaurants focusing on offal (hormone) have opened in the Chiba and Kanagawa prefectures.

Hormone Ishii opened on October 13, 2026, in Gyotoku, Ichikawa City. The establishment is a specialty shop dedicated to offal yakiniku, offering carefully prepared internal organs served fresh.

In Kawasaki, Yakiniku Hormone Yoshikawa opened its first location in the Noborito and Mukogaoka-Yuen area on October 1, 2026. Produced by Kazuki Takehara of the renowned Tateishi Hormone Wakei, the restaurant aims to offer a sophisticated dining experience. The concept focuses on the growing consumer trend toward enjoying the specific textures and flavors of various offal cuts rather than just marbled beef. The venue features a jazz-influenced atmosphere with a focus on food and drink pairings, such as natural wines and craft beverages.
