Fresh-ready hormone cuts, Zenryoku

This yakiniku spot keeps it low-key and casual with an old-school authentic izakaya pub vibe that solo and first-time diners love. Conveniently located just a 1-minute walk from JR Uchino Station, Zenryoku has become a fan favorite with neighborhood regulars and local university students since its doors opened in May 2024.

The signature dish is fresh hormone (offal) sourced daily and served without freezing. This fresh-prep process means each piece packs a no-funk, flavorfully plump and tender bite right from the get go. Plates to try include the Hormone Sashimi Platter, slow-cooked at low temperatures, and Kami Liver, meticulously prepared to remove any gamey flavor. The menu also offers an array of rare cuts and top-grade Wagyu, including popular options like kalbi and loin, all at budget-friendly prices.

Look passed the grill menu to find a full lineup of alcoholic beverages, eclectic side and more. Top off your meal with standout options like authentic curry made with Wagyu, beef tongue, and 23 spices, or hormone-infused ankake ramen. The restaurant seats about 40 guests, offering a mix of counter seating, tables, and traditional tatami areas, along with a second floor that accommodates everything from solo dining to groups.
