Fake reviews removed

A Kumamoto local chicken yakitori restaurant selected for Tabelog Yakitori WEST Top 100 in 2025. Uses carefully selected Kyushu local chickens including Higo Red Chicken, Kurosatsuma Chicken, and Furutori Chicken, grilled one by one over binchotan charcoal. A intimate gem with 20 total seats centered around a ginkgo wood counter of 14. Two locations: Kumamoto main store and Fukuoka branch. Reservations recommended.

Reviews often note 'I discovered the true taste of Kumamoto local chicken here,' 'watching the craftsman grill over the counter is a wonderful experience,' 'chicken grilled carefully over binchotan charcoal is in a class of its own,' and 'lives up to the Top 100 Yakitori reputation.' Tabelog 3.71 with 271 reviews.
