Nezu Yakitori Terusumi (根津 焼鳥 照隅) Tokyo

A little break from fine dining, with a visit to @terusumi0422 for terrific yakitori, great r&b tunes from the 00’s , terrific sake and awesome friendly vibes .

Hidai chicken from Akita prefecture is used , and we enjoyed a great selection of pieces .
My first time having Chicken sashimi , it was juicy, fresh and had great mouthfeel , would certainly have no qualms about having it again .
The chicken liver was outstanding , perfectly cooked, sweet and earthy . Speaking of liver there were a few non-yakitori courses and the liver parfait was sublime . It’s been forever since I last ordered one and it had to go back into the dining rotation .

But the highlight was the alchemy between the many courses and the sake , a terrific endless flow over the course of 3+ hours !
