Horumonyaki ({{Langx|ja|ホルモン焼き}}) is a kind of Japanese cuisine made from beef or pork offal. Kitazato Shigeo, the chef of a yōshoku restaurant (one that specializes in Western-derived cuisine) in Osaka devised this dish and registered a trademark in 1940.[http://gogen-allguide.com/ho/hormon.html 語源由来辞典 (Etymological dictionary) Horumonyaki] It was originally derived from Yakiniku.Multiethnic Japan By John LieRace, Ethnicity and Migration in Modern Japan: Race, ethnicity and culture By Michael Weiner The name horumon is derived from the word "hormone", with the intended meaning of "stimulation", as in the original Greek. The name horumon is also similar to the Kansai dialect term hōrumon ({{lang|ja|放る物}}), which means "discarded goods". Horumonyaki has a reputation for being a "stamina building" food.{{cite web|title=History of Manjū-ya, a motsunabe restaurant|url=http://homepage2.nifty.com/manju_ya/rekisi.htm|publisher=Manjū-ya|access-date=2016-02-14|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120630161108/http://homepage2.nifty.com/manju_ya/rekisi.htm|archive-date=2012-06-30}}
