Tori no Koji Yama Kishi

Using Satsuma's 'Kuro Satsuma Chicken Kuro-O' and Kyoto's Akachidori, we carefully grill each skewer one by one over Kishu Binchotan charcoal. The skewers are characterized by cuts that do not use internal organs, featuring parts like neck, thigh, wing, and tsukune, which can be enjoyed with side dishes of grated daikon and kelp salt flavor. For the finale, we offer Chinese noodles in chicken soup, chicken rice, and even desserts like yuzu sorbet, available in both course and à la carte options.

The sense of openness brought by the glass walls on the upper floors. While overlooking the streets of Kyoto below, you can experience the heat and aroma rising from the central grill in an intimate setting with only eight counter seats. In a calm space like a hidden retreat, you can enjoy even the fleeting expressions of the grilled chicken as it cooks—this sense of presence is the true delicacy of this restaurant.

"Tori no Koji Yamakishi" is the latest store of the Kyoto Yamakishi Group, which was born on February 23, 2025. The parent brand "Tomikoji Yamakishi," led by Takahiro Yamagishi, has been innovating while respecting the traditions of Kyoto cuisine since its opening in October 2015. Inheriting that spirit, we refine the aesthetic of Kyoto and the Japanese art of fire through the medium of yakitori.
