in kanazawa, japan (aug’24)
made it to kanazawa’s most famous yakitori-ya, headed by torishiki’s ikegawa san’s most respected disciple, whom also previously had a short stint in shanghai.
overall thought it was a solid meal, didn’t really have too many standout pieces and chicken quality also wasn’t the best. i really enjoyed the grill corn and tomato. but overall the char in the pieces weren’t distinct, and the level of doneness in the pieces fluctuated a lot. amount of food here was also not too much, ended with a choice of two gohans where almost everyone in the meal ordered oomori (large size). their rice course was probably the most enjoyble, their take on soboro don was unique and delicious with burdock and their smoky grilled yasai in oyako don - a bit on the soupy side but flavour was decent. ended with a nice and refreshing kiwi panna cotta with grand marnier jelly.
a nice try and decent yakitori outpost in kanazawa, for me not too memorable but glad i tried it out. still stand by the thought that ikegawa san’s disciples and him still stray some distance in terms of grill skills.
