[Shibuya] Five-time consecutive Top 100 Yakiniku Restaurant 'Yakiniku Horumon Araiya Shibuya'
Located in a small alley in Dogenzaka, ‘Yakiniku Horumon Araiya Shibuya’ is said to carry the lineage of ‘Yakiniku Yamadaya’. ‘Yakiniku Yamadaya’ is famous for ‘refusing interviews’ and rarely appears in the media. Owner Hideki Arai learned offal preparation at ‘Yamadaya’ for 5 years, inheriting their delicious flavors. ‘Yakiniku Horumon Araiya Shibuya’ is a branch extending from the Koenji main store and has been selected as one of the Tabelog Yakiniku Tokyo Top 100 restaurants for five consecutive years since 2022. It is not a restaurant that relies solely on thick-cut beef tongue or high-end Wagyu; it is a place that treats fresh offal delivered directly from Shibaura with meticulous cleaning and distinct texture, while also taking Wagyu seriously.
One of the signature dishes is ‘pork jaw meat’ (a part near the pig’s chin), a rare cut. The outer layer is grilled until crispy and fragrant, while the inside is surprisingly refreshing and easy to eat, with a non-greasy oiliness. Many people are surprised by its crispness and lightness the first time they order it, making it a popular item that almost always appears in the restaurant’s set menus. Another frequently mentioned item is the ‘premium grilled liver’. It is thick and properly prepared, remaining soft and flavorful after grilling without any gamey odor. ‘The extremely thick liver tastes truly amazing.’ Araiya is famous for its meticulous handling of offal, from cleaning to seasoning. Classic offal cuts like large intestine and small intestine each have their own merits, with such a rich variety that you will be spoiled for choice. Every bite is an ultimate tease for the taste buds. You won’t feel that ‘offal is just a side dish’; instead, it stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Wagyu as the star of the meal.
As for Wagyu, they offer a three-kind beef tongue platter, premium salted beef tongue, skirt steak, short ribs, and outside skirt (limited quantity).
The “thick-cut salted beef tongue” here is absolutely the scene-stealing ace of the yakiniku world. As soon as it hits the table, everyone can’t help but let out an “Ooh!” of admiration. The thick-cut beef tongue is carefully selected, using only the most tender and high-quality parts, grilled until the exterior is slightly charred and the inside is juicy. The moment you bite into it, the meat juices explode in your mouth, and paired with simple salt seasoning, it perfectly presents the original flavor of the beef. This texture of thick-cut beef tongue is not something you can find just anywhere; it is tender yet chewy, making it impossible to stop at just one piece.
Needless to say, prime meat (beef for yakiniku) is also a strong suit of Araiya. The “premium skirt steak” is available in limited quantities; the meat is tender and juicy, and when grilled to perfection, the fat and meat aroma weave together into a feast for the senses. The “short ribs” and “loin” are classics among classics, and the quality of the carefully selected Wagyu beef makes one feel the dedication of the restaurant. These meat dishes are not expensive, yet you can enjoy the standard of a high-end yakiniku restaurant, offering a price-to-performance ratio that makes you want to come back again and again. Want something special? Try the “BIG! Heart Steak with Herb Butter,” paired with herb butter sauce; the rich flavor is definitely a surprise on the table.
As for set menus, the standard course is about eight thousand eight hundred yen (tax included), which includes a kimchi platter, namul, two types of beef tongue, pork jaw meat, premium grilled liver, a choice of pork cheek steak/heart steak/whole grilled pork skirt steak, five types of selected offal, three types of selected Wagyu beef, cold noodles, and ice cream. The balance is quite good, suitable for first-timers who want to taste the restaurant’s specialties all at once. There is also a satisfaction course, which adds Wagyu thinly sliced grilled beef with ponzu, offering even higher satisfaction. If ordering a la carte, you can also pair it with the restaurant’s special curry (slow-cooked with beef tongue, beef tendon, vegetables, and red wine) as a finale; the texture is smooth, and the flavor is deeper than regular curry.
On a night in Shibuya, if you are looking for a restaurant that not only has Wagyu but also prepares fresh offal with layers of flavor, Araiya is a place worth adding to your itinerary. Starting with crispy pork jaw meat, followed by premium grilled liver and thick-cut beef tongue, and finishing with special curry or cold noodles, you will feel that both the offal and Wagyu have been treated with serious care throughout the meal.
