What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A 56-year-old yakitori landmark at the entrance to Higashiyama Chayagai (Higashi Geisha District) in Kannonmachi. Skewers grilled one by one over binchotan charcoal have earned it a long-standing local reputation as 'the pinnacle of casual yakitori in Kanazawa.' The lunch-only oyakodon at 900 yen is the opposite of tourist pricing—it always draws a queue. Evenings offer charcoal-grilled skewers and oden, finishing with chicken-broth soy sauce ramen. Authentic charcoal grilling for around 4,000-5,000 yen per person keeps regulars coming back. Selected for the Tabelog Yakitori WEST Top 100 in 2023.

Reviews say: 'This is the pinnacle of casual yakitori in Kanazawa.' 'The binchotan charcoal and smoke are in a class of their own.' 'The 900-yen oyakodon at lunch is the best value in Kanazawa.' 'It used to feel like a locals-only secret, but now it is well-known.' 'Do not leave without having the finishing ramen.'
