【Check Points】■ The charcoal grilling of Matsukaze jidori, Kyoaka jidori, and El France is exceptional.■ Course duration: 2 hours and 15 minutes.Minami Aoyama Nana Chome is my favorite restaurant that I want to keep coming back to, despite its difficulty in making reservations.Located a 10-minute walk from Hiroo Station, this extremely popular yakitori restaurant is situated on a slope along the Nihon Red Cross Street.The exterior features a sign with the restaurant's name in white on the first floor of a building, making it easy to spot as reservation holders wait outside before opening.Upon entering the B1F through the door at the bottom of the stairs, the spacious area behind the seating creates a sense of height, enhanced by the lower table height. The bright wood tones inside and the proximity to the grilling area contribute to a more open atmosphere.Chef Naoki Kawana, who trained in kaiseki cuisine and at Daikanyama Kokepiyo, opened his own restaurant, which has become a highly sought-after spot for reservations.Using the finest ingredients such as Matsukaze jidori, Kyoaka jidori, and El France quail eggs, all raised on completely drug-free feed, Chef Kawana’s exquisite grilling with Kishu Binchotan charcoal results in an outstanding course! Every visit leaves me thoroughly satisfied with the deliciousness.Since it has been renewed, we returned to the basics, starting the course with seseri, followed by the nostalgic flow of El France. The quality of the soft-boiled eggs is exceptional, and the consistency of the seseri and tsukune is reliable. The bread with chicken rillette and the homemade thick fried tofu are also at a high level, making for a wonderful course composition that I thoroughly enjoyed.The finishing touch of the oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl) was perfectly creamy, and the tare (sauce) was flawless. The chicken paitan ramen was also of such high quality that it could rival any ramen shop.Once again, it was fantastic!Omakase Course:■ Steamed Chicken■ Seseri■ El France■ Chicken Rillette Bread■ Grilled Cheese■ Chicken Wing with Green Onion■ Shiitake Mushroom Stuffed with Duck Meat■ Young Corn■ Chicken Drumstick■ Chicken Skin with Ponzu■ Chicken Thigh■ Homemade Soba■ Thick Fried Tofu■ Negima (Chicken and Green Onion Skewers)■ Bonjiri (Chicken Tail)■ Oyakodon■ Dan Dan Noodles◆ I would appreciate it if you could save this if it is helpful! ◆_________________Instagram: 66shukiTwitter: 66shukiTikTok: 66shuki_________________
