First up is the popular sumiyaki-kushi (charcoal grilled skewer) thick-cut rich Beef Tongue, which 90% of customers order. You can tell how good it is just by looking at the cross-section! The Beef Tongue is grilled over charcoal to just the right doneness, with a beautiful pink center♡ They use the softest part of the Beef Tongue, so even though it is thick-cut, it is incredibly tender and juicy

The "tsukune (chicken meatball)" at this restaurant is baked in the oven and has a Hamburger Steak-like taste.
The "Jikasei tsukune (house-made chicken meatball) assortment" comes with different toppings such as egg yolk, cheese, and tororo (grated yam). They are generously sized and highly satisfying.

Every yakitori skewer was cooked just right, and the tsukune (chicken meatball skewer) and seseri (chicken neck) were especially juicy and excellent. The seating is also spacious, and the atmosphere is great for having a lively time with friends.

The yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) gets high marks for its crispy skin and juicy, tasty meat. No matter which cut you try, it is said to be excellent.
As for the shinzou (heart), you are supposed to eat it without turning it over so the juices stay inside.

The "Owner's Omakase course" lets you enjoy yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) and chicken dishes in a luxurious way.
The appetizer, "Kimchi Nankotsu (kimchi chicken cartilage)," is said to be so good that you will want another serving. From start to finish, you can fully enjoy dishes with a strong sense of Manzoku. They also pair well with Japanese sake.

The owner said they simply serve the food as it is, but the care and work that go into making that simplicity possible are incredible, and each dish had real depth and left a strong impression.

The yakitori was simply excellent. The grilling was just right, they also had rare cuts, and I really enjoyed the chicken’s natural flavor. Of course the skewers were great, and they also had a wide selection of drinks. The owner and staff were kind too, saying, “You can do a sake tasting before you order,” which made the whole experience relaxed, enjoyable, and delicious.

I tried the owner’s special chicken wings at their previous restaurant and got hooked. They use Amakusa Daio (large Japanese chicken breed), Kuro Satsuma-dori Kokuo (black Satsuma chicken), and Kyo Aka Jidori (Kyoto red local chicken), and serve them after dehydration and aging.

Sumibiyaki Tori Shoi is a place where you can enjoy fresh yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) cooked over Tosa binchotan (Tosa white charcoal). Tucked away in a back alley in Namba, it has the feel of a hideaway for adults.

The yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) is said to be delicious, with the freshness of the ingredients really standing out. The savory aroma of charcoal grilling and the perfect cooking are part of its appeal.
Along with the classic "negima," the wide range of menu items, including seseri (neck meat) and tebasaki (chicken wings), are all said to be excellent.

The classic izakaya (Japanese pub) menu item dashi-maki tamago (rolled omelet with broth) is a staple. At this restaurant, it is flavored with rich chicken broth, giving it a one of a kind taste.
Along with yakitori (grilled chicken skewers), they also serve dishes that pair well with drinks, such as homemade potato salad and chicken chashu (braised chicken).

This place is well known in reviews for its tasty kamameshi (rice cooked in an iron pot). They offer many varieties, so it looks fun even just choosing one.

I was able to take my time and enjoy delicious yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) and a variety of a la carte dishes. The owner's manner is just right, and the calm atmosphere makes for a comfortable, relaxing time. I happened to stop by this place by chance, but both the food and the atmosphere felt warmly welcoming, with a charm that makes you want to drop in again.

We ordered the 5-skewer yakitori Omakase, Kara-age, kamameshi (rice cooked in an iron pot), ramen, and more. One person was running the place alone, but they prepared the dishes quickly and efficiently.
