“ We love the food here! Though the seats are limited, we like how the atmosphere makes us and chief more closer. We admire chief’s craftsman’s spirit on the roasted food and dish’s collaboration. Shop is also friendly for foreigners, not only online reservation provided but also English-speaking service/menu. I’ll definitely visit when next time going Tokyo. There is one thing that we hope to improve a bit on changing new drinking vessel when changing different sake. Thank you. ”
“ Very legit yakitori and side dishes near Kanda station - they have some signature parts of the chicken which seem rarely served elsewhere, as well as duck and goose. Wide accompany drink selection as well - good mix of locals and in-the-know visitors. ”
“ The yakitori set here is pretty solid, I'd rate it a 3.5/5. The set includes two different flavors of chicken breast, which are super juicy. The chicken gizzards are amazing, definitely the highlight! The duck skin is too fatty and oily for my taste, but the chicken thighs are pretty good. Overall, it's worth a try if you're in the mood for yakitori. ”

“ Great yakitori spot specialising in chicken. Order a la carte or let the chef surprise you. Service charge of ¥800per person and minimum of 1 drink order per person . Very well seasoned with salt. Chef and staff were lovely. English menu available and can pay with credit card. One of our favourite restaurants in Tokyo ! ”
“ One of the best Yakitori places I've been to recently. Chef managed to grill each stick to perfection and doneness.... Most of the time I just see places over cooking the meats and offals. This place is an exception! Good for single or couples, not a place for large groups as its bar counter setting only. Definitely a worthy find.. ”
