【Minami Aoyama Nana Chome】・Tokyo: About a 10-minute walk from Hiroo Station・Average Budget: JPY 20,000 - 29,999・Tabelog: 4.18 (as of posting)2018, 2019, 2021, 2022: Selected as one of the Top 100 Yakitori Restaurants2023, 2024, 2025: Selected as one of the Top 100 Yakitori Restaurants in the EAST2020-2026: Tabelog Award BronzeI had the pleasure of visiting Minami Aoyama Nana Chome again after 7 and a half years, this time at a friend's invitation.The owner is Mr. Naoki Kawana.On that day, I enjoyed the Nana Chome Course, which featured ingredients such as Kyoto's Kyo Akadori chicken and Hyogo's Matsukaze chicken, along with the domestically produced French quail eggs "El France," which are only produced in Saitama Prefecture.Despite the focus on tare (sauce) yakitori, there was no greasiness or heaviness, allowing for a delightful experience until the very end. The side dishes served in between and the handmade soba noodles were also exceptional! ★☆I was impressed by the gentle flavors that highlighted the natural umami of the ingredients, as they do not use chemical seasonings, including in the tare.Additionally, Mr. Kawana's commitment to not serving chicken raw or rare ensures a high level of safety, making it a comforting dining experience.I am grateful for the invitation and look forward to returning! It was a great meal.◆Nana Chome Course◇ JPY 15,850, tax included・Chinese-style chicken breast and jellyfish salad・Seseri (neck meat) With mustard・Saitama's El France With tare・Homemade chicken rillettes and toast・Shoulder With tare・Grilled cheese・Stuffed shiitake mushrooms With onsen egg・Deboned chicken wings with green onion With salt and yuzu pepper・Young corn・Deboned chicken drumsticks・Chicken skin with ponzu・Homemade hand-pulled soba With soba dipping sauce・Homemade thick fried tofu With soy sauce・Negima (chicken and green onion skewers) With tare and yuzu pepper・Liver With tare *Choose one skewer from the selection・Oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl)・Unsweetened black tea・Chicken niboshi soba with soy sauce◆Additions◇・Saezuri (chirping)・Crème brûlée・Homemade lemon sour x3・Hidakami Yasukiyo Junmai Ginjo Miyagi Prefecture, Hirataka Sake Brewery・Hakurakusei Junmai Ginjo Miyagi Prefecture, Niizawa Brewery・Banshu Ikko Junmai Chokarakuchi Hyogo Prefecture, Sanyo Hai Sake Brewery・Saku Impression M Mie Prefecture, Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten
