    Best Yakitori in Town - Taste and Service! The skin is next level crispy and such a master craft. Great English speaking place, better than a lot of Tokyo fine dining g.

    The whole meal was absolutely wonderful. From the beginning to the end. All the meats were grilled to perfection highlighting their original flavours. However what we really loved was the creativity behind the non grilled dishes as well. This was my first time trying raw chicken and it was definitely not what I was expecting. I realized raw chicken doesn't really exude a lot of flavour but the way it was presented really allowed me to taste its "rawness". When we were asked if there were other dishes we wanted we asked for a grilled liver. The chef was so accommodating and grilled liver for us specially. It was the best liver I've ever had, I could still remember the taste and the texture of it. I will definitely be visiting again when I'm back in Kyoto.

    Extremely delicious! The chickens are so tender while the skins grilled crispy~ The use of different sources and seasoning makes the taste of each dish very balanced and sophisticated.

    Absolutely spectacular yakitori. I was shocked that I quite enjoyed the raw chicken sashimi, but everything else was every bit as sensational as I could have imagined. Chef and his team were wonderful, engaging, and generous. It’s in the basement of the building with only displays in Japanese, so there was a little puzzle solving in finding the place. Would love to come back again!

    Family trip to Kyoto. The food was really good and the flow was just right. There was no English menu but the staff spoke English well. Such a good experience. Thank you!

    Incredible Yakitori Restaurant, chicken nigiri was one of the best bites of Japan so far. Chef is an artist and the way he cooks chicken is one of the best you can find in Japan.

    Best chicken my family has had our whole lives and an amazing experience overall. Perfect omakase for my mum who doesn't eat raw seafood!

    This was the best experience I’ve had. Every part of the chicken is prepared differently and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Kyoto as a must try.
