01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Biting into a thick, juicy skewer of grilled offal has a way of melting away the fatigue of the day. Located in the Musashi-Koyama area, Horei delivers just that, complementing its charcoal-grilled skewers with inventive small plates and a distinctive drinks list for a satisfying evening out.
Fat-Wrapped Delicacies and Meaty Skewers
The skewer menu balances classic cuts with creative preparations. Diners looking for an easy start often opt for the 3-stick or 5-stick omakase assortment to sample the day's grilling, though ordering à la carte is just as rewarding. Choices such as ami-chire (spleen) and ami-hatsu (heart)—wrapped in caul fat for extra richness—sit alongside thick, deeply flavoured joto tan (tongue) and harami (skirt steak), as well as negi reba seasoned with aromatic herbs, with each skewer providing substantial bite.
From Baguette-Braised Pork to Fried Yam
Small plates beyond the grill are equally thoughtfully composed. Alongside the classic simmered offal stew (nikomi), optionally served with an egg, there is a rich braised pork cheek served with baguette, and a silky liver paste reflecting Western touches. Palate cleansers such as pork cheek with green chilli ponzu and blanched uterus sashimi (kobukuro sashi) contrast nicely with crunchier bites like yamatatsu, a Tatsuta-style fried mountain yam paired with Japanese tartar sauce.
Distinctive Drinks and a Shio Ramen Finish
To drink, the house specialty Horei Sour blends eleuthero liqueur into an original house recipe, accompanied by unique options like the Java High and soy milk matcha highball. After unhurried rounds of shochu, wine, or beer, the delicate, clear-broth Shio Chuka Soba makes an ideal conclusion. A small size is also available, ensuring a manageable finale regardless of how much you have eaten.
The space features both counter and table seating, opening from 15:00 on Saturdays and Sundays for unhurried weekend afternoon drinking. Reservations are accepted, and a broad range of cashless payment methods are supported, making this a reliable destination in Musashi-Koyama for expertly prepared offal.
