The shop, mainly frequented by locals, is run by a friendly and polite master. The bright and welcoming interior makes it easy for solo customers to enter. The speed at which the grilled dishes are served is fast and pleasing, but some may feel rushed if they prefer to savor their meal slowly. The flavor of the sauce is light and the salt is subtle, allowing for a refreshing taste without being too heavy. The bottled beer served is not a popular brand, but it goes well with the food. The bill comes to around 7,000 yen for a light meal of yakitori. It is recommended for those looking to enjoy yakitori in a casual and relaxed atmosphere.

I had oyakodon. It was delicious, but I personally felt that the flavor could be a bit stronger with more dashi and chicken taste. The chicken was tender. The staff seemed a bit rushed as there were only two people working. Maybe it was because it was crowded during the azalea festival at Nezu Shrine or lunchtime?

I was planning to visit this restaurant a bit later in my rotation, but since my intended place was temporarily closed, I decided to go here earlier. It's a small restaurant with a counter of 6 seats and a few tables, with a sophisticated vibe despite mainly serving yakitori. The chef behind the counter looked more like a chef than a traditional chef. I ordered the yakitori bowl with 4 types of charcoal-grilled Kyoto red chicken for 1,100 yen. Even though I usually enjoy yakitori that costs around 100 yen per skewer, as long as it's grilled over charcoal, it's delicious. The yakitori was grilled right in front of me at the counter. There was a range hood directly above, so there was no smoke or lingering smell. A small salad was served first, followed by the yakitori bowl with a soft-boiled egg and paprika. The yakitori was indeed delicious. However, the amount of rice was a bit small. I could only eat about two bowls. Elegant dishes like this may not be suitable for me. After finishing, I had to eat bread for extra satisfaction. Thank you for the meal.

After a year of renovation, I finally visited this cafe that used to be a coffee shop. The interior is L-shaped with a white wooden counter seat. I ordered the Yakitori Don for 1100 yen. First, a small salad was served, and the Yakitori Don consisted of four types of skewered chicken (thigh, liver, negima, tsukune) with a colorful garnish of red, yellow, and green bell peppers and sliced pickles, topped with a hot spring egg in the center. The smoky flavor from the charcoal grill and the deliciousness of the hot spring egg make this dish a hit. The chicken broth soup was also refreshing and tasty.

"Isshin" has opened a yakitori restaurant in front of "Imojin". It seems that they also offer lunch, which is quite unusual. There is a popular yakitori restaurant called "Matsuyoshi" on the same street, not far away. The lunch prices at "Matsuyoshi" are over 1,000 yen, while the prices at "Isshin" are slightly cheaper. However, due to the impact of the coronavirus, with reduced seating and customers, it seems inevitable that prices will have to be increased. If they don't raise prices, they will have to cut costs by reducing portion sizes. I entered the restaurant around 12:15 PM, and there were only 2 customers ahead of me. It's tough. The most promising item on the menu seems to be the "Grilled Chicken Bowl with Kyoto Akadori Chicken" (1,100 yen). Let's see how it tastes. I got used to disinfecting my hands with alcohol, although the smell was unpleasant. The interior of the restaurant is mainly centered around the counter, or rather, it only has a counter. The atmosphere is very calm, probably because it's a new restaurant. The middle-aged owner is carefully grilling the chicken. The grilled chicken bowl is ready. At first glance, I noticed that the portion size was small. Usually, a 1,000 yen grilled chicken bowl would be filled with chicken, but this one had a small amount. There are 4 types of yakitori: negima, liver, thigh meat, and tsukune. All of them are small. On top are bell peppers and vegetables arranged beautifully. In the middle of the bowl is a soft-boiled egg. The rice at the bottom is on the smaller side. In addition to the grilled chicken bowl, they also serve chicken soup. It's not too hot, and it doesn't have a strong chicken smell, which is highly appreciated. Now, I'll try each type of chicken. All the meat is free of any unpleasant odor. The liver is not dry but moist. It seems like they are using good quality chicken in good condition. The cooking is just right, not overdone. The grilled chicken is quite good, but if they are serving it for lunch, I think it would be better to increase the portion size a bit.

【A lunch of grilled chicken bowl with Kyoto Akadori that women will also be pleased with...】＜Takeout available＞〈Please see the irrelevant review and images...〉 Well well... The sky from the morning is pleasantly blue... I will take my time doing household chores and errands... As I ride my bicycle, a gentle breeze softly touches my cheeks and neck... My long hair is gently touched by fingers... The wind blowing now may have been born just to play with me... Hey, play with me more... While having such a misunderstanding... (← I am aware so it's okay...) A comfortable Sunday... Let's have a leisurely lunch... "Yanesen" (Yanaka, Nezu, Sendagi) has become a popular walking and sightseeing spot... In April and May this year, the town was crowded with local residents, but after the lifting of the state of emergency at the end of May, the local residents decreased and the sightseers gradually returned... All the popular shops in Yanaka have a decent number of customers... Feeling a little relieved, I apologize for my uselessness... (← I was useless from the beginning...) So, let's take a leisurely stroll to Nezu... In early March, I noticed that a stylish new shop called "Sumibi Matsui" had opened, but I didn't have the opportunity to visit until now... The location is just down the Omotesando of Nezu Shrine, cross the pedestrian crossing right away... (← Roughly) The road in front of this shop may have been the approach to Nezu Shrine a long time ago... (Imagination...) The constantly shining sunlight pours in, creating a calm and bright path... A place where the sun's air flows... Nezu Shrine, famous for its azalea festival, is a wooden shrine built in 1706. It has overcome two major difficulties, the Great Kanto Earthquake and the air raids by the US military, and still proudly exists... In such a place where the air flows... A charcoal-grilled chicken shop with a spacious L-shaped counter with only 10 seats... One customer in front, two customers behind... One takeout order... 【There are three lunch menu options】(Served with hot soup)ーーーーーーーーーーー◆ Grilled chicken bowl with Kyoto Akadori... 1,000 yen◆ Chicken soboro bowl... 1,000 yen◆ Beef steak bowl... 1,500 yen(All prices excluding tax)ーーーーーーーーーーーSince I wanted to feel more of the atmosphere of this shop, I ordered the ■ Grilled chicken bowl with Kyoto Akadori (¥1,000)... Influenced by the gentle weather of the day and the swaying young leaves outside... Although it was not on the menu, I also ordered a ■ draft beer... (↑ Blaming nature for my drinking reasons...) The shop had a stylish interior with a white counter and stylish tile work, so I imagined it was run by a young owner, but there was a calm gentleman with a mature scent standing quietly at the grill... The handsome waiter was carefully pouring my draft beer from the golden tap in the kitchen into my glass just for me... The sight of the silky delicate and smooth foam that poured into my glass was like... a drop of clear amber that smoothly passed through my throat and body... It was a truly luxurious moment... And yet... this is completely a personal preference, but I actually prefer slightly coarse foam over such silky, youthful skin-like foam... It's not about the server's technique or the cleanliness of the glass... I like the natural good roughness... (← What is that...?) I like a bit of presence and a gently stimulating roughness in the foam that has lived and come alive... (← About 0.01% of people might agree) Ah, I like that...

Chicken tataki donburi. With plenty of toppings like myoga and shiso leaves, this dish is a refreshing and delicious bowl that can be enjoyed in the summer.

The parent and child bowl for lunch was healthy and very delicious. It came with salad and soup, making it a great deal.
