Okayama, Japan｜Shimpachi

We are so happy that we found this place from Google map, which was not in TripAdvisor or other tourists' websites. It seems the place is very popular among local people! Long queue outside. We arrived at 6.40 pm on Wed and waited like for 15 mins. They don't have an English menu so we were little bit worried while waiting. Luckily there was one waitress who speaks English and she was so kind to help us order food. We had skewers of basic Chicken (yakidori) and other kinds like chicken liver, soft bone, chicken meatball, chicken heart, shiitake mushroom, cold tofu appetizer and draft beer. And it was truly amazing!!!! Everything was soooo tasty and it was a great experience of sitting among lively local people. We can't recommend enough of this place. The reviews on Google were all by Japanese, so I really wanted to recommend to all the other tourists that you should try here! 외국인 리뷰가 없어서 간단하게 남겨봅니다. 현지인들이 줄서서 먹는 집인데 영어메뉴도 없고 대부분 영어를 못하시는 것 같았습니다. 하지만 영어를 간단하게 하시는 여자 서버가 친절하게 주문을 도와주셔서 야키도리, 간, 심장, 오돌뼈, 미트볼, 표고버섯 꼬치하고 두부랑 생맥주랑 시켜서 먹었습니다. 정말 인생 맛집입니다!! 북적거리고 활기찬 일본인들 사이에서 이렇게 맛있는 걸 먹을 수 있다니... 오카야마에 오길 잘했다는 생각이 들었습니다. 관광객들 가는 식당 말고 이런 곳도 꼭 찾아서 경험해 보세요. 트립어드바이저나 다른 웹사이트서는 못 봤고 구글맵에서 근방에 리뷰 가장 많은 집을 찾아서 와봤습니다. 강추 강추 강강추

Been going to Shinpachi for over 30 years now. The highest quality yakitori and yaki-onigiri in Japan can be found here.

I went there for the first time after it moved, and I was surprised at how much better the atmosphere inside the store was. The basic seasoning is salt and pepper. The spicy and peppery flavor is very effective, making it irresistible for beer lovers. Delivery is quick, service is good, and everything is delicious! The meat is so soft that it's easy to eat without having to remove it from the skewer! And above all! Normal “yakitori” is super delicious! ! I was impressed by the sweetness of the onions and the juiciness of the meat. There's a ginger ale drink that wasn't available before, and the inside of the rice ball is also stylish and looks great. The old "salary workers, there are only old men" I didn't have that image anymore. It seems like you can't get a reservation on the weekend, so I'd definitely go again on a weekday.
