What kind of place?
Fake reviews removedEstablished 1962, a Satsuma Jidori yakitori specialist beloved in Tenmonkan for 63 years. The menu has only two items — momo-yaki and tori-kawa ponzu — a minimalism that speaks of a true master. The juicy, charcoal-grilled thigh of Satsuma Jidori (one of Japan's three premium chicken breeds) is called 'a different creature from any other yakitori'. The logo was drawn by manga legend Akatsuka Fujio. Selected for Chicken Dishes 100 Best Restaurants 2025. Tabelog 3.68/352.
