【Nakameguro】Yakiniku Horumon Kinju: Beef is the star, with options for non-beef eating companions
A short walk from Nakameguro Station, tucked into the alleys of Aobadai, lies a yakiniku restaurant renowned for its horumon (offal) and premium cuts. The restaurant, “Yakiniku Horumon Kinju Nakameguro” (焼肉ホルモン金樹 中目黒), was selected for the Tabelog Yakiniku TOKYO Top 100 Restaurants 2026, holding a rating of approximately 3.69 with over three-hundred reviews. It is not a place that merely sells a few slices of beef tongue; rather, it is a spot where fresh offal, rare cuts, and standard premium meats are handled with expertise. The atmosphere is modern, making it suitable for groups who want to enjoy serious grilling without being restricted solely to beef.
Beef is indeed the main attraction here. Among the signature items are the “Special Fresh Beef Tongue Salt” and “Fresh Beef Tongue Salt.” The beef tongue is sliced with thickness, sprinkled with salt, and placed directly over the fire; the outer layer develops a slight char while the inside remains tender and juicy. When bitten into, the fat and umami are released, making it a must-order for many. The skirt steak (harami) also comes in various grades: standard skirt steak, premium skirt steak, and even a special skirt steak. The diaphragm area naturally possesses a chewy texture and rich flavor, and when grilled to perfection, it is succulent rather than dry. Other options include shoulder cuts (misuji), chuck flap (zabuton), Wagyu short ribs, seared loin, and filet, covering both rare cuts and standard premium meats. The offal section is a particular strength of the restaurant: fresh horumon, salt-flavored horumon, premium liver, premium beef stomach (first stomach), beef small intestine (marucho), heart, and mixed horumon are all handled cleanly, resulting in minimal gamey odor when grilled, perfect for those who enjoy the texture of offal.
If someone in your party does not eat beef, the menu clearly features sections for pork and chicken, as well as seafood and vegetables. You can easily order these to accompany the meal, allowing the entire table to share sauces and side dishes without feeling like everyone is eating separately.
For pork, there is “pork neck” (a fattier cut) and “pork ribs,” priced at around 800-plus yen; when grilled, the fat aroma is distinct, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. There is also pig’s trotter available as an appetizer. For chicken, there is “Daisen chicken thigh” and “chicken cartilage.” Daisen chicken is a well-known brand; the thigh meat is juicy and elastic, while the cartilage has a crunchy texture, both of which are suitable for slow grilling. Seafood options include “grilled shrimp” and “grilled squid,” which can be ordered individually or as a two-item platter. The sweetness of the shrimp and the springy texture of the squid are especially pronounced after being grilled over charcoal, making them excellent alternatives for those who do not eat beef.
Vegetables and side dishes are also plentiful. Garlic, shiitake mushrooms, baby corn, green onions, and vegetable platters can be grilled together. There is a wide variety of kimchi (including yam kimchi and perilla kimchi), as well as namul, Kinju salad, lettuce, and perilla leaves. Soup options include seaweed soup, egg soup, beef bone soup, and oxtail soup, along with Morioka cold noodles and bibimbap. Rice is available in small, medium, and large portions, which can be added according to your appetite. These items ensure that those who do not eat beef can still leave full, while others continue to order beef tongue and offal, so there is no need to worry about companions being unable to enjoy a yakiniku meal.
The interior space is modern, featuring both table seating and fully private rooms, suitable for small groups or occasions where you prefer more quiet. The process of grilling is a highlight in itself: as the meat hits the fire, the fat slowly renders, and the aroma spreads across the table. Paired with lettuce wraps or sauces, it is a very satisfying experience. Because the offal is handled cleanly, the layers of texture are distinct when grilled to the right point, ensuring it does not feel overwhelming.
This restaurant excels at preparing rare beef cuts and offal while maintaining a selection of pork, chicken, seafood, and vegetables. For those who want to eat yakiniku but are concerned about companions who do not eat beef, this is a place you can arrange with confidence. Sit down, order a few slices of fresh beef tongue and skirt steak for the beef eaters, then order pork neck, Daisen chicken thigh, and grilled shrimp for those who do not eat beef, accompanied by a plate of kimchi and lettuce. The whole table can enjoy the aroma of the charcoal fire together, and no one will be left out.
