The intimate counter seating lets you watch the chef masterfully rotate each skewer over the open flame.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Order the 'kaki no tsukudani' (braised pork belly) as a side dish to soak up extra dipping sauce.
- Ask for 'tama yaki' style cooking where the chicken is grilled until slightly charred rather than steamed soft.
- Arrive early or wait outside, as this counter-only spot fills up quickly during dinner rush.
