A straightforward skewer served with simple cooking methods. A beloved local gem hidden in the residential area of Nerima.

Located in a quiet residential area of Nerima, the yakitori restaurant "Tori Naga" is a beloved spot among locals, known for its difficulty in making reservations due to its unlisted phone number. The... owner, Koichiro Kawagoe, emphasizes the importance of "sourcing" in yakitori, carefully selecting ingredients with a discerning eye. The skewers are finished with simple seasoning and meticulous craftsmanship, allowing the natural flavors of the chicken to shine. The straightforward yet delicious chicken dishes reflect the owner's genuine character.

ChefKoichiro Kawagoe - Bird Cuisine Created Through Self-Study

From Miyazaki Prefecture. After gaining about four years of experience as the main chef at a Japanese restaurant, I learned the fundamentals of Japanese cuisine. In 1989, I opened "Torichou" in Nerima. I did not undergo any training at yakitori shops; instead, I developed my own chicken dishes through self-study, which continue to captivate food enthusiasts. I focus on fresh ingredients sourced from carefully selected suppliers, using simple seasoning and meticulous craftsmanship. I want to savor the true essence of this restaurant slowly.

Space"A High-Sense Relaxation Space Filled with the Shop Owner's Attention to Detail"

Nestled quietly in a serene residential area of Nerima, about a 10-minute walk from the station, is 'Torichou.' The modern interior exudes a tranquil atmosphere that is not typical of a yakitori restaurant, featuring intricately designed decor such as walls adorned with handmade cork by the owner and lights made from the bottoms of kettles. It’s a comfortable space that makes you want to linger, offering a wide selection of drinks including Imo Shochu from Kumamoto Amakusa, sake, and wine, allowing guests to enjoy delightful pairings with the food.

Food A Simple Dish That Allows You to Experience the Original "Umami" of the Ingredients Up Close

The ingredients sourced from all over Japan are finished using a simple cooking method that enhances their original flavors with sake and salt. The signature dish, "namatsukune" (raw chicken meatball), can be enjoyed in the "sashimi platter," which has no unpleasant odor and offers a different texture compared to when it is grilled. Additionally, there are dishes like "shamo sashi," which has a crispy exterior and a fluffy, rich flavor, and "hiza," where you can enjoy the texture of the meat with a satisfying crunch. These dishes provide an experience that overturns the typical image of a yakitori restaurant.
