Torishiki

Food was good, creative ways of cooking chicken. Also easy to book. The seat was a bit small and you really sit close to each other. When some other customers were loud it can be a bit noisy.

Torishiki is one of Japan’s most renowned and popular yakitori restaurants. Chef Ikegawa’s grilling style relies on intense, close-range heat. While the skewers may appear charred on the outside, they are imbued with a rich aroma of charcoal and a deep, umami-packed flavor without any bitterness. Skewers keep coming until you tell the chef to stop, so a full tasting can easily stretch beyond three hours. The vegetable skewers are equally impressive—broccoli, for example, is slowly grilled to reduce moisture, resulting in a texture and flavor you won’t find anywhere else.

An exceptional dining experience. The energetic atmosphere at the counter and the attentive service made for a fantastic night. The ingredients are clearly premium, and every cut was seasoned to perfection. Easily the best yakitori in Tokyo.

KICHI★★★★★★★★★★5.05 years ago

The atmosphere of this restaurant is chic and elegant and customers drink wine with Yakitori. There is no smoke at all in this restaurant though they serve grilled chicken baked on charcoal. In fact, this restaurant has been awarded one Michelin star. The restaurant does not really have a food menu. You just ask what you like and what you do not like, and the chef will serve you till you tell him to STOP. Trust and leave it all up to the chef. Chochin (lantern) is the egg still not born from a hen. It spread out in your mouth as you chew it. This is the highlight of this restaurant. Anyway, all are very delicious. Everything is perfect, so this restaurant is very hard to make a reservation. They take reservations on the first business day of the month for dinners 2 months later by telephone.

It is one of the hardest restaurants that you make a reservation. People told me that this place offers best yakitori and it was true. It took me like 3 hours to complete the whole thing. Be prepared for a long night. ¥12000/ 1 person. Omakase and 3 glasses of sake.
