Located in a quiet corner of Kagurazaka, this yakitori restaurant features only counter seating. Upon entering, you can feel a pleasant tension in the air, but once seated, your attention naturally shifts to the grill right in front of you, creating an atmosphere perfect for savoring the yakitori.Here, they use Takasaka chicken from Kyotanba, adjusting the cooking method for each part of the bird. The skewers have a delightful charcoal aroma on the surface while retaining moisture in the center, allowing the rich flavor of the chicken to unfold with each bite. Instead of leaving a strong impression with heavy seasoning, the dish highlights the differences in meat quality, fat, and texture, making it a truly enjoyable experience. Each skewer is uniquely grilled, making you want to focus on one at a time. The delightful transition from the initial bite's firmness to the tender melt-in-your-mouth texture showcases the high quality of the chicken.The work visible across the counter is efficient, and the time spent waiting for the skewers to cook adds to the enjoyment. The service strikes a perfect balance, providing concise explanations without intruding on your dining experience. With restrictions on photography inside the restaurant, it allows for a more immersive focus on the meal, which is a unique aspect of this place.While the price range and difficulty of making reservations are not casual, the overall quality makes it a place I would love to visit again. This is a must-visit spot for yakitori lovers, representing the best of Kagurazaka. Although it is on the higher end of the price spectrum, the quality of the ingredients, cooking techniques, and ambiance made for a satisfying evening.
