Kameido Horumon, a Yakiniku Joint in Kameido

This is another place I visit often, because you can always count on fantastic meat here.

Fresh lemon sour

kameido hormone

These days this is almost the only drink I order. It is so refreshing.

Gyutan (beef tongue)

kameido hormone

As always, the yakiniku starts with gyutan. It cooks quickly and tastes light. I do not think I have seen many people eating beef tongue in Korea. In a way it may be a culture unique to Japanese-style yakiniku.

Bean sprouts

kameido hormone

This is another one of my favourites here.

Assorted horumon (offal platter)

kameido hormone

The freshness is to die for.

Harami (skirt steak)

kameido hormone

No way this could taste bad..

Tontoro (pork jowl)

kameido hormone

The fat is rich and nutty, and it has a nice chew.

Cabbage

kameido hormone

I ordered one as a stand-in for a salad.

Marinated horumon

kameido hormone

Salt or marinade, both are delicious.

Barley rice

kameido hormone

I ordered some rice too.

Zabuton (chuck flap)

kameido hormone

It is a fatty cut and not cheap either. But the taste is great.

Jo-kalbi (premium short rib)

kameido hormone

If otoro is the crown jewel of sushi, then jo-kalbi is the crown jewel of yakiniku. “Jo” means premium, and “tokujo” means extra premium. The jo-kalbi here melts away in your mouth like snow. If you want to taste real wagyu, this place is without question the best choice. The only thing is, they only have a small amount of jo-kalbi, so it seems to sell out fast. It comes down to your luck that day.
