At the hormone grill in front of the station, I grilled and ate fresh liver.
That offal restaurant always has a lot of smoke, but the taste is excellent.
Compound of ホルモン (hormone, a common term for offal in yakiniku contexts) and 屋 (shop). The use of ホルモン for offal is said to derive from the idea that eating offal provides vitality, though the exact origin is uncertain.
