A very famous yakitori restaurant ranked number one in the food log.
It is renowned as the best yakitori restaurant in Japan.
In 2011, it was awarded a Michelin star, which it has maintained ever since.
If you are a gourmet food lover, this is one of the places you want to go somehow.
It is also famous for being the most difficult yakitori restaurant in Japan to make a reservation, so much so that it is said that even if you call 300 times, you cannot get a reservation.
I asked my friend to make a reservation for me this time, but he said he had forgotten how many times he had called. Thank you very much.
The yakitori menu is all on the house, and you pay when you are full.
All items on the menu are grilled by Mr. Ikegawa, a chicken chef.
I was so impressed that I was satisfied just to see him grilling.
By the way, you can order a take-out boxed lunch right after you arrive at the restaurant. Many people don't know this, so if you go there in the future, please keep this in mind. (Of course I asked for it.)
This time, I would like to introduce my favorite yakitori.
♦Chochin
Chochin" is grilled using only one part of a chicken. It is overwhelmingly rare.
I ate it for the first time. The "string" has a mild "sweetness" and crunchiness that cannot be tasted with ordinary yolk. It is seasoned with a special ama-soy sauce, a perfect and luxurious product.
Very flavorful. An unforgettable one.
What is chochin?
It is the "kinkan" of the egg yolk in the hen's ovary before it takes the form of an egg.
and the "string" of the ovary and the oviduct through which the "kinkan" passes until the egg is laid.
The "kinkans" are skewered together and roasted together is called "chochin.
♦Momo
Tender with a "chewy" texture.
The sauce is soaked into the meat and the flavor spreads in your mouth.
♦Tsukune
Exquisite elasticity. The richness and sweetness of condensed chicken can be felt the moment you put it in your mouth.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the pinnacle of tsukune.
♦Lever
The concept of liver was overturned. There is no peculiar smell at all, and the plumpness and smoothness are impressive.
There is no crispiness. The combination of plumpness and smoothness was too good to be true.
I recognized that fresh liver has no bitterness or astringency at all.
♦Bronchi
This is another rare part. It is very rich and satisfying to eat. It has a unique richness and creaminess. This unique richness, which is never shown on the stage, will make you addicted to it!
Oyako-don (oyakodon)
Famous oyako-don (chicken and egg on top of rice in a bowl) is served in spite of being a yakitori restaurant. It is recommended to finish the meal. You can order half size.
You have to order it yourself.
The color of the egg is very "rich". The color of the egg is very "rich" and the richness cannot be expressed by the word "thick. The sweetness of the top quality meat and egg spreads in your mouth.
This is the culmination of the "rich sweetness" of Tori Shiki's yakitori.
It was a wonderful time, tasting as good as rumored and reviewed. I can see why it has attracted so much attention from the international media.
I think this is a great restaurant worth making many phone calls to visit.
Thank you very much for the food.
