A long-cherished charcoal-grilled yakitori restaurant in Minowa, celebrated for its inventive Okinawan-fusion menu and the lavish complimentary starter that sets the tone for the evening.

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removedLocated 5 min from Minowa Station. Tabelog Yakitori EAST 100 winner 2023-2024. Each skewer is carefully charcoal-grilled to crispy outside and juicy inside. The 4-item otoshi (1,000 yen cover) is remarkably generous. Unique menu combining yakitori with Okinawan dishes. Featured on Yahoo! Japan News. Around 6,000 yen per person.
Hailed as 'the pinnacle of casual yakitori.' Friends travel specifically from distant neighborhoods. The 4-item otoshi alone is worth the trip.
