What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A celebrated yakitori restaurant tucked in a back alley of Fukuromachi, northeast of Omicho Market. Owner Makoto Takeuchi trained for about 10 years at 'Yakitori Toriyoshi,' a renowned Tokyo restaurant, before returning to his hometown Kanazawa and opening independently in 2014. Selected for Tabelog Yakitori WEST Top 100 three consecutive years (2023-2025). Uses exclusively Aomori Shamorock chicken; each skewer is carefully grilled over charcoal. The 6,000-yen omakase course is hard to book. Counter seats only (10 seats).

Common reviews: 'I had no idea you could get yakitori like this in Kanazawa,' 'The charcoal draws out the full umami of the Shamorock chicken — it's exceptional,' 'Impossible to get a reservation but absolutely worth it,' 'Even the grilled vegetables are on a high level,' '6,000 yen for this quality would be hard to find even in Tokyo.' Tabelog 3.71/102 reviews (confirmed), Top 100 Yakitori three consecutive years.
