About this spot
Tori Kyuu serves up crisp, charcoal-grilled yakitori skewers that are perfectly charred and seasoned with just a pinch of salt. The izakaya vibe in Nakano & Koenji feels authentically local, where you'll often see regulars slurping down the famous tori no kama (chicken thigh stew) while waiting for their order.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Order the tori no kama immediately upon seating as it's a slow-cooked stew that gets crowded quickly.
- Ask for 'shio' style skewers to avoid sugary sauces that can overpower the natural chicken flavor.
- Save room for the grilled eggplant, which is often overlooked but offers a smoky sweetness that pairs perfectly with sake.
