Torishiki finale! Freaking delicious Oyakodon, hearty chicken soup, Tamago kake gohan, and for the next day... a take-home bento box as delicious as the entire dinner! What an awesome experience and hope to be back sooner than the last time. @torishiki_ichimon @carmelafortuna @gee.asakawa thank you so much!

one of if not my most looked forward meal in japan this trip, so thankful for the opportunity to try this legendary yakitori-ya humbly standing in the back alley of meguro. a very textbook recipe, nothing lavish or out of the ordinary, just exquisite grilling skills by ikegawa san’s hands of lightning speed turning the skewers so they are evenly grilled all way round. grilling began after one stewed chicken on toast which set the scene perfectly. all were perfectly salted, flavoured and...

one of if not my most looked forward meal in japan this trip, so thankful for the opportunity to try this legendary yakitori-ya humbly standing in the back alley of meguro. a very textbook recipe, nothing lavish or out of the ordinary, just exquisite grilling skills by ikegawa san’s hands of lightning speed turning the skewers so they are evenly grilled all way round. grilling began after one stewed chicken on toast which set the scene perfectly. all were perfectly salted, flavoured and grilled, it does become a bit repetitive towards the end but not a single piece was off. incredible skills honed for may years creating a line of students of their own shops now, but the master still reins as the best at a distance. oyako-don and soboro don were also out of this world, really loved the cartilage pieces within the soboro don. other pieces i loved were the seseri (neck), kawa (skin), liver, sunagimo (gizzard), sauzuri (oesophagus), chouchin (ovary). his vegetables were also insanely good, on top of his legendary broccoli, the sweet potato was also a real highlight, shiitake and gingnam too. if invited, a place i’d say yes to again in a heartbeat, highly highly recommend.

Dinner at 恵比寿 EBISU

Torishiki new branch. All skews were nicely grilled but not many rare cuts. Favorite was the seseri, juicy and tasty. Finishing with bibimbap was quite creative for a yakitori place. •

Torishiki. Perhaps the world’s most famous Yakitori restaurant. Amazing quality, of course, but also fascinating to watch chef work and see his technique. Pieces are quite large, and tend towards crispy, which I enjoyed. I didn’t see many of the trends currently happening around Tokyo, rather it seems like a distillation of a casual food into a perfect form, instead trying to make it “fancy”. Highly recommended.

Dinner at Tori-Shiki (鳥しき)

The first pic is the bento currently available at flagship Torishiki in Tokyo during COVID 19 (📸: @pateknautilus40 ). Compare to their usual bento from restaurant that is offered to customers who dine in as takeaway (pic 2-3), they changed the content quite a bit. The major chicken pieces became 「油淋鶏」which is a Chinese cuisine inspired preparation and in Japan it is usually fried chicken covered with a sweet and slightly sour sauce. Also eggs were added.

The original takeaway were similar to the one at Torisaki, only that it has tsukune (chicken meatballs) and vegetable was different

Dinner at Tori-Shiki

What would you say, if I tell you we should go to a tiny place in Tokyo and then we are going to eat for hours small skewers of various parts of chicken? Some parts of a chicken you will have never heard of and maybe never want to hear about. They will be served barbequed over a tiny coal grill but sometimes almost raw inside. I am pretty sure you would not be very enthusiastic about this proposal.

What would you say, if I tell you we should go to a tiny place in Tokyo and then we are going to eat for hours small skewers of various parts of chicken? Some parts of a chicken you will have never heard of and maybe never want to hear about. They will be served barbequed over a tiny coal grill but sometimes almost raw inside. I am pretty sure you would not be very enthusiastic about this proposal.
But let me tell, once you get going at Tori-Shiki, Maestro Chef Yoshiteru Ikegawa with his hachimaki bandana will put a spell on you. You will be sitting there hoping that the endless stream of skewers will never end.
My son had to call 124 times to get the reservation (as Chef Ikegawa is brutally democratic about this) and once successful we got allocated only a 2-hour time slot. Chef Ikegawa seem to take a liking of us as he gave us an extra hour when we were nearing the end of our time slot, and we were more than grateful for this.
Try and get a reservation, go there, enjoy and be thankful.

Once you are luck to get a reservation and finally in Torishiki* by Chef Yoshiteru Ikegawa, than you are definitely in chicken paradise.
