What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A yakitori specialty restaurant using the rare Kumamoto local chicken 'Amakusa Daio.' The owner butchers the birds himself, and each skewer—grilled with masterful heat control—is a treasure. Selected for Tabelog Yakitori WEST Top 100 in 2025 and 2023 consecutively, and listed in the Michelin Guide. A hidden gem in Kamidori where reservations are hard to come by.

Tabelog 3.75 with 160 reviews. Reviews gush: 'This is the only place in Kumamoto to eat rare cuts of Amakusa Daio,' 'the grilling technique is on a completely different level,' and 'beyond art—it borders on the divine.' Quality guaranteed by both Top 100 and Michelin recognition.
