Taito City, Tokyo, Japan｜刻鳥

Excellent experience at this reservation-only yakitori restaurant. We made a reservation through Tabelog for the ¥6,500 set course, which included several appetizers, seven kinds of yakitori, oyakodon, and a monaka dessert. Everything is very well-made. The yakitori is delicious and approachable, and service is very attentive. There seems to be a focus on wine, with a variety of wines available by the glass or bottle, as well as the usual beer and cocktails. As some reviewers mentioned, it can get a little smoky for a short time when there are lots of skewers on the grill, so your clothes may smell like food after.

A gourmet person told me about this place, and I made a reservation with my friend who loves yakitori.It is a reservation-only restaurant that uses only branded chicken that is grilled by a general who has trained at a Michelin-starred restaurant. The location is about 3 minutes on foot from Okachimachi. It's on the second floor of a building with a ramen shop on the first floor, but when you open the door, you'll find yourself in a modern Japanese space with a calm atmosphere, and the bamboo interior will heal you. I had it. On this day, we had the most popular 6,500 yen Tokidori course. First of all, cheers with beer and plum wine soda. ・Appetizer Sausage of 7 kinds of chicken parts It looks like a terrine. It uses thighs, breast, hearts, gizzards, quail, etc. The outside is the thigh and the inside is the breast. Each flavor is packed tightly, and you will be impressed from the appetizer. I had it with mustard. ・ Bagna cauda It seems that it is a chopstick rest. It's a cute bagna cauda, ​​and the anchovy sauce is rich and delicious. ・Green yuzu and meatball soup Tsukune is fluffy and delicious! I feel relieved. Yuzu pepper is a good accent. ・Low temperature cooked chicken sashimi liver, tenderloin, gizzard When cooked at a low temperature, the liver and gizzards do not smell, especially the liver is plump and really delicious. Even people who don't like liver can enjoy it. Grilled food starts here ·Peaches It's large and the skin is crispy, and the inside is plump and juicy. ! ·Tsukune It's also large and delicious with a slightly sweet sauce. ・Chicken fillet, yuzu pepper It's a fillet, but it's moist and juicy. I guess this is also the original deliciousness of pasteurization and chicken. ・Bonjiri Crisp and juicy. Fat and sweetness are the best. ·hearts It was plump, juicy and delicious. ・Shiitake mushroom A large, thick shiitake mushroom. ・Chicken wings Easy-to-eat elegant chicken wings that overturn the image of chicken wings. It's easy to eat once it's shaped, and it's cooked perfectly and tastes great. ·Oyakodon Fluffy oyakodon in a rice bowl. ・Mitarashi vanilla ice cream The skin of the monaka is grilled crispy and vanilla ice cream is poured on top of it. I added sansho (Japanese pepper) to my liking, and it was sweet and salty. It seemed like it would be difficult to ask for a drink because the general's one-off operation seemed difficult, but I thought it was wonderful to see the serious look at the yakitori and the careful grilling. And the yakitori is really delicious. It is worth going even if you go to Okachimachi. I would like to visit you again someday.

I ate the yakitori course at a counter seat in a small and cozy restaurant (drinks not included). What made me happy was the salty sashimi, which was cooked at a low temperature. Among them, the liver really melted in the mouth and was a knockout with its delicious flavor. There were 7 types of yakitori. Everything was well-cooked, the sauce was light and not too sweet, and the salty sauce had just the right amount of seasoning. The yakitori was grilled right in front of me, and it was fun to watch it live. The location was about 2 minutes walk from the Okachimachi south exit.
