Horaiya (Daini Horaiya): “The First Offal Restaurant in Yokocho,” Since 1947
Horaiya (also listed as Daini Horaiya, or "Horaiya No. 2") dates back to 1947 and is billed by the alley's official association as the first broiled-offal restaurant in Omoide Yokocho. Skewers are grilled over oak charcoal and finished with a house-made sauce, and the shop is also known for fresh, top-grade offal sashimi.
Horaiya accepts both cash and QR code payments, giving visitors a cashless option that is uncommon among the alley's older shops, and it maintains an official English-language website.
