At the beginning of 2023, I wanted to treat myself to some high-quality yakitori, so I made a reservation and headed to this place. The seating was only at the counter, and the only options for food were a 6000 yen course or an omakase course where the yakitori keeps coming until you say stop. We opted for the 6000 yen course, which included 13 skewers of yakitori, chicken sashimi, "drooling chicken," pickles, grated daikon radish, raw egg over rice, and chicken soup. The "drooling chicken" was flavorful but refined, and the chicken sashimi was probably the best I've ever had. Since there was a shortage of chicken sashimi that day, we also got a carpaccio salad. The yakitori was made with Takasaka chicken, known for its quality, and we enjoyed a variety of skewers from regular cuts to rare parts. The flavors were rich and delicious. The skewers were served at a good pace, allowing us to savor each one. There were also vegetable skewers and unique items like cheese in between. Despite having 13 skewers, the meal didn't feel heavy, and we enjoyed everything. There were palate cleansers like pickles and daikon salad, and we could choose between egg over rice or minced chicken rice for the finale. I chose the egg over rice, which was a satisfying end to the meal with a comforting chicken broth soup. The sake selection was extensive, and we tried different types recommended by regulars. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd love to try the omakase course next time. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Tosabina Charcoal Grill specializes in skewers made with Hyogo Takasaka chicken, which locks in the delicious flavor of the chicken. The chef starts by breaking down a whole Hyogo Takasaka chicken for the "omakase" option. He skillfully separates the parts, setting high expectations for the upcoming skewers by Takanashi. He trained at "Tokojima" in Sangenjaya before opening his own shop in Fukuoka. The grilling style seems to be consistent. They use different types of chicken, such as Hachiken local chicken from Kochi Prefecture, Kuro Satsuma chicken from Kagoshima, and Hinata chicken from Miyazaki, adjusting the taste according to the customer's drink. They also have a great selection of wines, allowing customers to enjoy the natural deliciousness of chicken in their own way. In Fukuoka, there has been an increase in Kanto-style yakitori restaurants recently, but Takanashi is one of the best. The staff is attentive and friendly, with lovely smiles. The counter-only yakitori style may become more popular in the future, and attention to detail, such as integrating the grill and exhaust, is essential. The "omakase" option offers 25 different skewers, served until you give up, making me want to visit again with an empty stomach.

The chicken sashimi, seseri, eggplant, chouchin were delicious. However, there were several customers who did not seem appropriate for a restaurant at this price level, which made it difficult to enjoy the meal in a calm atmosphere. The service from the staff also felt lacking, considering the small number of seats. There are many better restaurants in Tokyo at this price point, so I probably won't visit again if it were in Tokyo. It's a shame because the food was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The texture was so delicious that it didn't feel like chicken at all! The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice, allowing you to enjoy your meal in a calm setting. The interior is clean and has a luxurious feel, making it a great spot for a mature date. The owner is also very thoughtful and hospitable, providing excellent service.

A yakitori restaurant where you can enjoy rare Takasaka chicken. There are two course menus available. The "Kiwami Course" includes 10 skewers with chicken sashimi and a finishing dish, while the "Light Course" includes 10 skewers for a quick bite. The Kiwami Course is recommended for those who want to eat heartily. As for the yakitori... well, you'll have to try it for yourself.

Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand-winning restaurant: Yakitori TAKA. They serve a style of skewered chicken where they continue to bring out skewers until you say stop. The flavors of the ingredients, utilizing every part of the chicken, are truly highlighted in their yakitori. It was very delicious. - Name: Yakitori TAKA - Hours: 18:00-0:00 - Reservation: 092-521-7675 - Closed: Irregular holidays - Location: 2-13-7 Takasago, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka 810-0011, Japan

Visited the restaurant to try their Takasaka chicken. The interior is small but not cramped, with tables close to each other. It was lively with regular customers on the day of my visit. Opted for the chef's choice course. The food was delicious, but personally, I wish they would cook it a bit more to bring out the flavor. It would also improve the texture. This is not related to the restaurant's quality, but the strong perfume of the person next to me was quite bothersome. I hope it doesn't interfere with other diners' meals.

I visited "Yakitori Ki" on this day. The restaurant is located in Takasago, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, about a 7-minute walk from the nearest Nishitetsu Hirao Station. I stayed at an inn near JR Hakata Station's Hakata exit, so I went to pick up my companion for the day, and we finished our first stop nearby before walking to the restaurant, which took about 35 minutes. We had a reservation for the weekend at 19:00. We had the option of choosing between a stop-order system and a course, and we chose the 6000 yen (excluding tax) course. Unfortunately, I forgot to take notes, so based on my memory from the photos, here is what we had: - Chicken breast "Yodare Tori" - Sashimi platter (Sasami, liver, thigh tataki) - Chicken breast salad - Sasami with wasabi - Kashiwa - Pickles - Oni Oroshi Okaka on top - Hiza (knee) - Liver - Snap peas - Yagen nankotsu (soft bone) - Tsunagi - Thick tofu - Teba (chicken wings) - Tsukune - Aka (heart) - Zuri (neck) - Sori (tail) - Shime Tori Soboro Don Drinks we had: - Draft beer - Barley soda mix - Lemon sour x2 This was my second visit to the restaurant, and I went with a yakitori enthusiast friend from Edo. Along the way, two friends from Fukuoka, who are regulars at the restaurant, joined us, making it a delightful gathering! The restaurant also offers "Kyoto Takasaka Chicken," which is currently dominating the yakitori industry. When I mentioned my preference for it, they kindly served the "Sori" skewer with Takasaka Chicken. One standout skewer that my friends and I were impressed by was the "Tori no Benkei." The carefully skewered chicken leg meat with excellent cooking and superb sauce made it the best skewer! We all regretted not ordering more of it on our way back home. For those who are confident in their appetite, I highly recommend the stop-order system, but on this day, there were three generations of what seemed like regular customers enjoying the course, which was well-balanced and appealing to a wide range of people, including us. The chef, who has honed his skills at a famous yakitori restaurant in Edo (one of the top 100), has also been selected as one of the top 100 for two consecutive years, which is fantastic! The restaurant uses various types of chicken, including the aforementioned Kyoto Takasaka Chicken and the chef's favorite Kagoshima black Satsuma Chicken, among others. Fukuoka is home to many top-notch yakitori restaurants, but this one is definitely a recommended choice! If you're in Fukuoka and want to enjoy yakitori to the fullest, this is the place to go! Thank you for the wonderful meal. ☆3.62-12854

I wanted to eat yakitori during my trip to Fukuoka, so I decided to make a reservation at Torijima, which is located in Sangenjaya and is known for its delicious yakitori. The restaurant was full, confirming its popularity. The curry at the end was also very delicious. I think it's a wonderful yakitori restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

Basic Course for 6,600 yen. The atmosphere is elegant with a focus on the counter seating. I enjoyed tasting a variety of dishes, especially the liver. It was my first time trying chicken sashimi, and the Takasaka chicken was delicious. I chose the set course this time since it was my first visit, but next time I think I'll try the a la carte menu to enjoy a different experience.

I visited this restaurant for a meal with someone who works in an office nearby. It was my first time here, and the restaurant is quietly nestled in a residential area. When I entered, it was full of reserved guests, each enjoying themselves. The course was chef's choice, and the chef would continue cooking until we told him to stop. We started with a smoked dish, then had chicken sashimi, followed by grilled dishes. Each dish was so delicious, making us wonder if chicken could taste this good. Overall, every dish was satisfying and exquisite.

I made a reservation by phone for 19:00. The restaurant had 12 seats and was fully booked. You can choose between a set course or leave it up to the chef. The course includes a variety of dishes, while leaving it up to the chef means they will stop grilling once you say so. I ended up feeling full, but the intervals between dishes were too long, and I ended up drinking too much and getting full. The chef seemed serious at first, but became more relaxed as time went on. Here is what I had today: - Drooling chicken - Sashimi: breast, thigh, liver - Wasabi: soft and exquisite - Seseri: elegant saltiness - Sunagimo - Liver with leek sauce, called "Leedvo": the sauce was not too sweet and delicious - Skin: light - Yagen: cartilage - Thick tofu - Snap peas - Saezuri - Scamorza - Tsukune Overall, the sauce was delicious. I want to try more dishes with sauce. It's a great yakitori restaurant.

◆At the time of the visit, the information on Tabelog was 3.63, in the top 100 restaurants in 2023, and received a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2022. This restaurant has received high praise for its taste from everyone who has been introduced to it in the past. ◆About the restaurant: This restaurant offers high-quality Takasaka chicken at a reasonable price, with set courses or à la carte options available. It is very popular and tends to get crowded, so making a reservation in advance is essential. However, even for dates close by, you should be able to secure a reservation with plenty of time. ◆Impressions: The atmosphere inside the restaurant is clean and tidy, with only counter seating available. The service is efficient and speedy, although it may not be the type of place where you receive a lot of attention if you are dining alone. While not all skewers are made with Takasaka chicken, there is a wide variety of cuts available to enjoy. The standout feature of the yakitori here is the incredibly high temperature at which it is served, resulting in surprisingly delicious flavors. Visiting this restaurant made me realize the importance of temperature in yakitori. The selection of sake is also impressive, with options like Toyama's Kachikoma available on the day of my visit. Each skewer had its own unique qualities, as described below, but the tsukune, liver and eggs were particularly delicious and highly recommended. ◆Cost of the meal (including tax): We opted for the à la carte option and ended up spending around 7,000 yen per person for two drinks each. ◆Items we tried (food only): - Yakitori with drooling chicken - Wasabi with chicken tenderloin - Chicken neck - Chicken calf - Ginkgo nuts - Chicken wing - Basil-flavored chicken tail bone - Thick-fried tofu - Red chicken thigh - Eggplant - Camembert cheese - Elf France - Chicken wings - Chicken meatballs - Chicken liver and eggs (a specialty of the house) ◆Notes: - The Michelin and top 100 restaurants information is based on past data. - Prices are inclusive of tax.

The store had a beautiful Japanese style exterior and interior. I made a course reservation. The yakitori and other rare cuts were delicious, cooked rare as requested. However, I wanted to eat a lot of yakitori, but there were many mushroom and vegetable skewers in between, so I couldn't eat as much yakitori as I wanted. Also, I made a course reservation over the phone, but when I arrived at the seat on the day, I was asked about the menu, so I was a little worried about whether the staff properly understood or shared the content of the phone reservation.

I visited a delicious restaurant in the past. When I went to Fukuoka for work, I visited a restaurant that specializes in Takasaka chicken but also offers other types of chicken. The course meal was 6600 yen including drinks, and the total cost per person was around 11000 yen. The course consisted of several dishes, with skewers being the main focus. The Takasaka chicken sashimi was truly delicious. The skewers were cooked differently depending on the part, showing the chef's dedication. The chicken breast and liver skewers were particularly outstanding. The liver skewer had a taste that went well with red wine. The Takasaka chicken wings were impressively large and delicious. The chef also engaged in conversation with us, making our time there enjoyable. Thank you very much. I will visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

In the Takasago area, a Michelin Bib Gourmand and top 100 yakitori restaurant on Tabelog, the chef trained at a fashionable yakitori restaurant in Tokyo and wears a black chef's coat. They offer a selection of 25 grilled items, with sashimi served first, which is delicious. The sashimi alone is worth it. The lunch was too heavy, so I didn't have much appetite for the grilled items, but they were good. I walked to the restaurant, and surprisingly, there is a roundabout nearby.

I visited Kisan for the second time. It had been 3 years since my last visit. Everything was delicious, but the chicken skewers, eggplant, and lantern chili were especially tasty. The prices were reasonable. The rice at the end was also very delicious! The chicken soup that came after was also amazing! I was very satisfied.

Hello, I'm the gourmet yokai Hage Kappa! Today, I will introduce you to the famous high-end yakitori restaurant in Hakata, "Yakitori Ki". Everything here, from the grilling to the seasoning to the timing of serving the skewers, is perfect and all the dishes are delicious and satisfying. If you want to indulge yourself, be sure to visit this place at least once. Enjoy! ❤️

A restaurant in Takasago, Fukuoka. When I visited, it had a rating of 3.68 on Tabelog and was selected as one of the Tabelog Yakitori Top 100 in 2022. It is also a Michelin Guide Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki 2019 special edition and Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient. Perhaps due to the pandemic, I was able to make a reservation just two days in advance. The exterior of the restaurant was emitting a lot of smoke, but the interior was smoke-free and clean. I ordered the Chef's Choice Yakitori, and was surprised by the generous portion that arrived. I was about to give up, but the chef jokingly said, "I give up first!" So, it was a draw in the end. The background music in the restaurant mainly featured Takashi Matsumoto, which created a nice atmosphere. Lastly, I received a business card with a photo of the chef, who looked just like Takashi Matsumoto, on a license design, which made me laugh. While not everything, this restaurant serves high-quality Takasago chicken. The chef's grilling skills were excellent, and the food was delicious. Below are the items I tried for reference: - Edamame - Chicken sashimi (thigh, breast, gizzard, liver) - Takasago chicken breast with wasabi - Pickled vegetables (cucumber, radish) - Grated daikon radish with bonito flakes - Takasago chicken tail - Takasago chicken neck - Tosa Hachikin chicken liver - Shiitake mushrooms - Miyazaki Hinata chicken belly - Tosa Hachikin chicken gizzard - Thick tofu - Miyazaki Hinata chicken chirping (esophagus) - Takasago chicken wing tips with lemon - Smoked Scamorza cheese - Takasago chicken inner thigh - Fukuoka-grown eggplant - Young chicken cartilage - Liver paste - Takasago chicken skin - Takasago chicken meatballs - Tosa Hachikin chicken heart - Takasago chicken arm - Corn - Takasago chicken calf - Takasago chicken neck meat - Parent bird tail - Ebisu draft beer 660 yen x 6 Thank you for reading until the end.
