Matsumoto, Nagano, Japan｜鳥じん

The best yakitori we ate in all of Japan! Do yourself a favor and order the persimmon wrapped in pork, a perfect combination of flavors. And in general, all the meat was especially delicious. There is no written menu but it is very easy to communicate with the nice owners. Highly recommended for a Japanese dining experience.

Loved this place, it was very traditional. The owners were very kind and spoke English, explained all of the dishes and wanted to make sure you had a good experience. Would recommend for delicious yakitori and drinks (that's all they serve)

Very tasty and very friendly staff. They do their best with their limited English, and I had some interesting conversation which was a mix of my broken Japanese and their broken English. There's no English menu, but they'll tell you about each item. Prices are on the wall, but using Japanese numbers, so you'll have to ask if it matters much. However, the prices are very fair for yakitori, and so is the price for the sake. Speaking of which, they have some local sake - I can recommend the dry one. You'll also get free cabbage with your skewers - it's believes that cabbage increases one's appetite, so only eat it if you want to eat lots of skewers.
