Ohisama yakiniku restaurant specializes in heavily charred meat

Ohisama, a yakiniku restaurant located in Hon-Atsugi, Kanagawa Prefecture, has gained attention for its unique dining style that encourages customers to grill meat until it is heavily charred, or ‘marukoge’.

According to the restaurant's proprietress, the high quality of the meat ensures that even when charred, the flavor is enhanced rather than ruined by bitterness. This method results in a crispy exterior and a juicy, flavorful interior. The restaurant also offers specialized items such as smoked hormone and crispy deep-fried hormone, which focuses on concentrating flavor by removing moisture through intense heating.
