A representative Kurume yakitori restaurant founded in 1981. Selected for Tabelog Yakitori WEST Top 100 Restaurants 2023. Always packed with about an hour wait even at opening time. Kurume-style pork belly is triple-sized with overflowing juices, and tongue (¥180) is praised for its fluffy texture. A Kurume pride that has maintained 'cheap, delicious, and generous portions' for over 40 years. Yahoo! Maps 4.27, Tabelog 3.67, 153 reviews, 7,652 saves.

"A restaurant that Kurume can be proud of—no one else offers this quality at this price." "Even at opening time it's full; the one-hour wait was worth it." "I'm always amazed by the generous portion of pork belly." "Chicken skin at ¥50 is Kurume's miracle." "A genuine yakitori restaurant loved by locals for 40+ years."
