About this spot
Kushi Shinbo delivers smoky, charcoal-grilled yakitori that feels authentically rustic rather than touristy. You'll want to order the classic chicken thigh (momo) and gizzard (hara), letting the chef decide when they are perfectly charred. The casual izakaya vibe in Nakano makes it perfect for a late-night drink with friends.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Order 'nomihodai' sets if you want unlimited sake to pair with your skewers.
- Ask for extra salt on the gizzard (hara) to cut through the rich flavor of the grilled chicken.
- Visit during dinner hours when the charcoal grill is at its hottest for maximum smokiness.
