Hello there! This is Hayama Navi, where I introduce great stores and places around Hayama. Best regards!

I would like to introduce “Hayama Asahiya Beef Shop”, a long-established butcher shop in Hayama that has been in business for over 100 years 🙌.　

Hayama is famous for Hayama beef. Hayama Asahiya Beef Butcher is a local butcher shop that is very popular among tourists and locals alike, where you can easily buy Hayama beef and the employees are very energetic!

Hayama Asahiya Beef Restaurant

Location

Hayama Asahiya Beef shop is located behind Morido Beach in Hayama. It is located across the river from the parking lot of the famous Hayama supermarket 😆 Motomachi Union.

The area is easy to reach by car or bus.

Establishment

According to its website, Hayama Asahiya Beef shop has been in business for a century!

It is amazing that a store that has been loved for over 100 years is still in business. It is a store that is needed by everyone and is closely connected to their daily lives.

Even in the short time I was there, the regulars and the owner were chatting cheerfully with each other, and it made me happy to think that this kind of daily life has continued for so long and will continue in the future.

Shop introduction

The store is compact, but there is enough space for all the employees to work and for the store to be about half the size of the other half, and together they are large enough.

The work area is like an open kitchen and can be seen from the sales floor. It is fun just to watch the lively voices of the employees and the way they work.

There were about10 employees, and I could see that this is a popular restaurant.

I dared to take a photo of an empty moment!

Product Lineup

Croquettes and other side dishes are popular ♡

A line of delicious-looking delicacies is lined up just inside the store. They are a friend of tourists and housewives.

The signature item here is the Hayama croquette!　These croquettes are made from carefully selected Japanese beef and pork.

And the price is 100 yen including tax! In the past, canned juice was 100 yen. There are not many things you can buy for 100 yen now. They are precious.

Menchikatsu are also very popular. They are plump and juicy.

You can make an instant burger by putting the Hayama croquette and the menchikatsu in the fluffy buns sold at the store.

You will often see people eating their burgers in the outside space. It is the best burger at a very reasonable price!

Sliced grilled pork is also popular! According to the shop’s website, the secret to the flavor is the traditional method of seasoning and kneading the fresh pork, which is processed in the restaurant, and then slowly grilling it from raw using Kishu-binchotan charcoal.

I made my own grilled pork this time, and I had Hayama croquettes and menchikatsu! Both were very tasty!

Fresh meats

The main business, meat, is not to be outdone! Hayama beef, as well as reasonably priced beef and pork, were on display. There are so many varieties that you may get lost. In that case, ask the experienced staff.

I always ask, “I want to make roast pork, which meat would you recommend?” The staff is always kind enough to suggest good meats!

There are many lineups of Hayama beef. You can buy meat of various parts. You can also buy and buy as souvenirs.

Hayama beef is expensive, isn’t it? As a commoner, I can only afford Hayama beef on important anniversaries. But it is still delicious. It is totally different from other meats.

I especially love eating Hayama beef in sukiyaki!

Don’t worry, folks. There are plenty of reasonably priced meats to choose from! In addition to beef, they also have pork, chicken, etc!

Eggs, seasonings, and other goods are also available for handsome sales.

I brought them home.

Products brought home. Hayama croquettes and menchikatsu. I reheated them in the toaster to make them crispy and look freshly fried. The inside is juicy and delicious!

And to make roast pork, I bought a pork shoulder. You can’t get such a large piece of meat in supermarkets. It is indeed a butcher shop.

This time I made grilled pork!

The recipe is from my beloved cook, Mr. Kasahara’s Youtube, Kasahara Family Yaki-Pork.

It took a lot of work, but it was the most delicious. I recommend it!

Baby and child note

Babies and children are welcome.

Parking is available for easy access!
