About this spot
This Tenjin spot serves charcoal-grilled yakitori where the chicken skin crisps perfectly over an open flame before being brushed with savory tare sauce. Locals flock here for the skewered pork belly and grilled scallops, which are often sold out by early evening. The small counter seating lets you watch the chef masterfully rotate each piece of meat on the grill.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'yotsuba' (four pieces) set to get a balanced mix of chicken, fish, and vegetable skewers.
- Bring your own beer or sake if you want to avoid the queue at the bar for cold drinks.
- Ask for 'kakiiri' style where the chef cuts the meat directly on the grill table for extra flavor.
