Horumon Naritaya

Nestled in the residential area of Nakano Island, Wakayama City, Horumon Naritaya is a hidden gem for those seeking authentic Japanese offal cuisine. Specializing in horumon dishes, this restaurant is renowned for its unique cooking technique, where the horumon is expertly prepared in a Jingisukan hot pot and marinated with a spicy miso sauce. This method infuses the meat with a rich, savory flavor that is both bold and satisfying. The restaurant's interior exudes a nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere, enhanced by its smoky and seasoned decor. With three tables for four and five sunken kotatsu-style seating areas, it offers a cozy and intimate dining experience. The ambiance is perfect for small groups or those looking to enjoy a quiet meal. Horumon Naritaya operates on a no-reservation policy, closing its doors once the meat runs out, ensuring that each dish is fresh and of the highest quality. The service is quiet and efficient, with horumon served automatically, allowing guests to focus on the flavors and textures of their meal. In addition to its signature horumon dishes, the restaurant offers barley rice and ramen as side dishes, complementing the main course perfectly. The omakase style of service, where the chef selects the dishes, adds an element of surprise and delight to the dining experience. Parking is conveniently available for five cars in front and two cars next to the garage across the street, making it accessible for those traveling by car. Horumon Naritaya is a cash-only establishment, adding to its traditional charm and authenticity.
