A bar restaurant chain in Japan specializes in a variety of organ meats of mainly pork which is very cheap and chewy.
But they use fresh and tasty ones. They also offer a few kinds of chicken and beef.
I know that in some countries people don't eat guts, but eating grilled or stewed organ meats is popular in Japan.
Several kinds of skewer items cost from 120 yen to more.

センマイ刺し Senmai-Sashi

Sliced Beef Omasum
It is served with sesame oil and salt. You should stir the oil with chopsticks, because there is a lot of salt on the bottom of the dish.

Similar type of restaurant
Have you ever had the opportunity to eat the third compartment of the stomach, called omasum, in cattle?
刺し Sashi means Sashimi, but don't worry! This meat is not raw.
This restaurant offers the omasum dish which is well prepared and boiled.
However, some barbecue restaurants where you grill the meat yourself, also offers omasum for grilling.
To be honest.
The omasum dish has a simple taste although it's not juicy like steak. It has a very unique soft and chewy texture. Some people like this texture and taste. It is also known as a nutritious food source.
Try it when visiting Japan!
