Yakitori Tsukiya （焼鳥 月や）

At Yakitori Tsukiya, we proudly serve female Date chicken—a breed prized for its fruit-like sweetness and deep, distinctive umami flavor. Raised stress-free in the lush natural surroundings of Fukushima through traditional free-range farming, this exceptional poultry offers remarkable quality from tender meat to rich innards. Each bite reveals a perfect balance of delicate fat, elegant richness, and a refined, resilient texture.

Our experienced artisans—true masters of the female Date chicken—age each bird with precision under strict supervision, then carefully break them down just four hours before your arrival. Using charcoal grilling techniques, our expert grill chefs meticulously control the flame to create jewel-like skewers: crisp and fragrant on the outside, overflowing with juiciness and savory depth within.

Leading the kitchen is our head chef, a specialist in both yakitori and traditional Japanese cuisine. With over a decade of experience as head chef at our sister restaurant Toriko, and time spent honing his skills at Michelin-starred establishments, he approaches every skewer with knowledge, technique, and heartfelt devotion.

To ensure a warm, personal experience for each guest, the restaurant features an intimate white-wood counter only. Above, hand-painted ink art of dragons and peonies adorns the ceiling, enveloping diners in an atmosphere that blends serenity with a sense of quiet drama.

A harmony of tradition and innovation—where yakitori, a symbol of Japanese food culture, meets the artistry of fine Japanese cuisine. Join us for an experience woven from the passion of producers and the precision of craftsmen—one that satisfies not just the palate, but the soul.
