Yakitori Shira
A reservation-only yakitori legend, 1-minute from Umegaoka Station, located in the basement. Tabelog Yakitori Top 100 (2025). Sources Omi chicken (Shiga) and Amagi Shamo fighting rooster (Shizuoka) directly from farms daily. Omakase only, 15+ cuts rotating daily. Music mogul Yasushi Akimoto declared it 'a completely different class'; writer Lily Franky said he wanted to 'become an apprentice.'
'This quality in a 7,400 yen omakase would normally cost 15,000 yen or more.' 'Akimoto's praise is fully justified — this is yakitori on a different level.' 'Nobody outside the area knows there's a restaurant this special in Umegaoka.' Tabelog: 3.94 (433 reviews).
