ChefKoichi Kawagoe - A self-taught Chicken Cuisine

Originally from Miyazaki Prefecture, he gained four years of experience as a main chef at a Japanese-style meal restaurant, learning all about Japanese-style meal from the basics. In 1989, he opened "Torinaga" in Nerima. Without any training at Yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) or other establishment, the owner developed his own Chicken Cuisine, which continue to fascinate gourmets. Fresh ingredients are carefully sourced, simply seasoned and carefully prepared by hand. You'll want to take your time to experience the essence of this restaurant.

SpaceA sophisticated, relaxing space where the owner's attention to detail is apparent

Torinaga is tucked away in a quiet residential area of Nerima, about a 10-minute walk from the Yakitori (grilled chicken skewers). The modern interior has a tranquil atmosphere that is unusual for a yakitori restaurant, with elaborate decor such as walls decorated with corks handmade by the owner and lights made from kettles with the bottoms removed. It's a comfortable space that makes you want to linger for a while, and they have a wide selection of alcohol, including Kumamoto Amakusa potato shochu, sake, and wine, so you can enjoy pairing them with the food.

Food A simple dish that lets you experience the original flavor of the ingredients

Ingredients sourced from all over Japan are prepared using simple cooking methods such as sake and salt to bring out their natural flavor. The "Assorted Sashimi" dish, which includes the signature "raw meatballs," has no unpleasant odor and is a fun dish with a texture that is slightly different from when it is grilled. Other dishes on offer include "Shamo Sashimi," which is crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside with a mellow flavor, and "Knee" which has a crunchy texture and chewy meaty texture, making this a dish that will overturn your image of Yakitori (grilled chicken skewers).
