Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan｜Bankichi

Thank you to the patient staff as I spent 15 minutes with Google Translate to pick out what I wanted from the menu. Favourites included the lotus root with yuzu soy, pickled garlic with shiso, chicken hearts, and chicken skin. Sided with some cool sake, it was a perfect meal after a long plane ride.

I went here during my one night stay in Yokohama, and I needed a place to quickly grab a bite before I went off to watch a concert. Although my Japanese was limited, I was provided with the most welcoming hospitality and service. The atmosphere felt intimate and relaxing, and most of all, the food was very delicious. I would definitely return.

This is my favorite yakitori restaurant in Yokohama right now, and I think it's delicious. The white liver in particular is exquisite and I think it's a good idea to order it. I was told about this restaurant by my family and had been thinking about going there, but last month I went in for the first time. Even though I had been going to the store for almost 30 years, once I went there, I was hooked. First, the size of each piece of yakitori makes it easy to eat. Also, the skin is crispy, the liver is fluffy, and the way it's grilled is very delicious. In addition to yakitori, they also have a full menu of grilled vegetables, raw vegetables, stewed tendon, and more, all of which are delicious. There are also a wide variety of drinks, so it can be difficult to decide what to drink. It seems like there are some regulars who come almost every day. The place fills up pretty quickly after it opens at 5 o'clock, so it's a good idea to make a reservation by phone or ask about the situation before heading out. I look forward to hearing from you again and again if I have the opportunity.
