About this place
Alongside the yakitori, chive pancakes are another speciality to consider. Diners have commented on the contrast between the crisp outside and chewy centre, and some visit specifically for the pancakes. Seafood pancakes are also on the menu and are highlighted as a house recommendation. You could focus on chicken skewers, or add a pancake for more variety; the choice can depend on your group and appetite.
The skewers include chicken thigh, chicken wing, gizzard, chicken tail and handmade tsukune meatballs. Some diners have praised the soft texture of the tsukune and the flavour of the pork belly, so there’s the option of mixing pork skewers in with the familiar chicken ones. Other dishes include blanched domestic wagyu beef omasum sashimi, agedashi tofu and a rolled omelette with mentaiko. One diner particularly enjoyed the omasum, and there are plenty of small plates to break up an order of grilled skewers.
To finish, choose dashi ochazuke topped with plum, salmon, octopus wasabi or chanja, or have an onigiri. After skewers and small plates, a light rice dish with a topping you like makes a natural end to the meal. Beer and other alcoholic drinks are available, as is an all-you-can-drink option. One diner notes that the owner runs the restaurant alone and that dishes may take longer to arrive when it is busy. Consider booking, and allow time to enjoy the food at an unhurried pace.
