Kyoto, Japan｜Yakitori Daikichi

We were looking for an authentic local izakaya with the right vibes and found this place, which was a little away from the more touristy belt. Tried the roasted nigiri and did 24 sticks of yakitori. The green onion chicken and the Yuzu chicken were especially enjoyable. The service was good and friendly. Washed everything down with a nice sake.

A great discovery. The restaurant was full on a Monday night, 8+PM. We waited around 15 minutes for a table. Every single stick of yakitori we ordered taste good including the pickles, edamame, fried tofu, chilled tofu, donburi, etc. Must try is the chicken skin, chicken meat ball, chicken wings, elingi mushroom, shishiro peppers, etc. It is yummy with very reasonable price. Total damage was ¥11,340 for 34 sticks excluding the cold dishes, donburi & drinks.

They have Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean menus. Very foreign friendly. Great yakitori! Tender meat and super flavorful.
