WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
Word of mouth alone was enough to propel this yakitori shop in Umegaoka's quiet residential backstreets to national fame within a few years of opening around 2018.
梅ヶ丘の静かな住宅街で2018年頃に開業し、口コミだけで全国的な知名度を手にした焼鳥店。
The obsessive commitment to sourcing Omi chicken and Amagi Shamo directly from farms shines through in every skewer, earning the vocal admiration of cultural figures such as Yasushi Akimoto and Lily Franky, who have praised it by name in public.
農家直送の近江鶏・天城軍鶏という食材へのこだわりが際立ち、秋元康・リリーフランキーが実名で絶賛するほどの存在感を放つ。
Holder of both the Tabelog Yakitori Top 100 of 2025 and the Michelin Bib Gourmand 2023, the 7,400 yen omakase course is routinely described as content worth 15,000 yen or more elsewhere—hence reservations booked out for months.
食べログ焼鳥百名店2025、ミシュランビブグルマン2023を獲得し、おまかせコース7,400円について「普通なら1万5,000円以上する内容」との声が相次ぐ中、予約は数ヶ月先まで埋まり続けている。

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

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).
