What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Established in 1950, this yakitori specialist sits inside the historic 5-7 Alley Furarito in Asahikawa. One of the founding members of the 'Asahikawa Shinko-yaki Association,' Ginneko uses only fresh Hokkaido young chicken, hand-grilled over charcoal by skilled grillers. A rare spot open from 1pm, beloved by locals, with queues forming on Saturday evenings. Takeout available with advance phone reservation.

Praised as 'the charcoal-grilled young chicken overflows with juices' and 'moved by the quality of the chicken in this retro atmosphere.' Both locals and tourists rave about it. Tabelog 3.54 (552 reviews), 22,509 saves, TripAdvisor 4.2 (75 reviews) — a perennial frontrunner for Asahikawa Shinko-yaki.
