Hakata Motsunabe Oyama Shinjuku Odakyu Halc Branch at Go Shinjuku

Hakata-style motsunabe specialist in the Yodobashi west-exit building, serving rich miso offal hotpot with Kumamoto horse sashimi sides.

Hakata Motsunabe Ooyama is a long-running specialist in Fukuoka-style motsunabe, with this branch tucked into the basement floors of the Yodobashi west-exit building in Nishi-Shinjuku. The offal is sourced from domestic beef small intestine, with an emphasis on the bouncy texture that makes Hakata motsunabe famous, and the broth blends Kyushu and Saikyo miso with the chain house sauce.\n\nBeyond the hotpot, the menu adds Kumamoto horse sashimi, soft beef sinew and a few light side dishes that make the rich pot feel balanced. The room is modern Japanese in feel, with wood tones and a calm atmosphere that works for both friend groups and a date. Course plans with all-you-can-drink make group dinners easy.\n\nFor a Shinjuku hotpot dinner with a clear regional identity and a more refined room than the average motsunabe shop, Ooyama is a reliable pick. Book ahead for evening slots, the spot fills up fast with the after-work crowd.
