The skewers are grilled just right, locking in the flavor while leaving a gentle warmth at the center. The more you chew, the more the chicken’s juices and umami spread through your mouth. I was also very impressed that the sharp tips of each skewer had been grilled off, making them easier to eat straight from the skewer.

It really takes skill to cook such heavy, thick cuts of meat so they stay tender all the way through. The sasami (chicken tender) was incredibly tender, and it was Surprising! The liver was nicely browned on the outside and soft inside, and so tasty♪ The special chicken soup served along the way was irresistibly good.

Hinai jidori (free-range chicken from Akita), Yamagata jidori (free-range chicken from Yamagata), Nagoya Cochin, and Kokuo. Every one of them had plump meat and great-tasting fat.

The yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) grilled over high-grade binchotan (Japanese white charcoal) is said to be juicy, tender, and full of rich flavor with every bite.
A sweet and savory secret tare sauce, continually added to since the restaurant first opened, is one of its hallmarks and is said to pair perfectly with the chicken.

It seems many people visit for the famous "torikawa (chicken skin)".
It is grilled until crispy, and the more you chew, the more the rich flavor of the chicken spreads through your mouth. Some reviews also said it was so tasty they could easily keep eating skewer after skewer.

The secret sauce is really tasty, and the yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) is juicy. The top recommendation is "Sappari to Remon Tori." The fresh taste of lemon and the good flavor of the yakitori make a great combination.
