Yakitori Kenken

Nestled in a back alley of Yakuin, this hidden gem is already gaining attention as a sister restaurant to Yakitori Yakiushi Ken. The signature liver skewers are meticulously prepared with salt water and sesame oil, resulting in a plump texture and rich umami without any unpleasant odor. Guests can savor the goodness of charcoal grilling and high-quality ingredients, from thick-cut pork belly and salmon belly to seasonal small dishes and finishing off with chicken paitan ramen. The counter and tatami seating create a calming atmosphere, and the attentive service combined with a wide selection of alcoholic beverages makes it a place where you’ll want to linger.
