Awa-za Yakitori [Nishi-ku Kyomachi-bori 3-chome] is a small restaurant with 6 counter seats and two small table seats. The menu includes garlic shiso pickles, chilled tomatoes, negima (chicken and leek skewers), tsukune (chicken meatballs), chicken skin, chicken thigh, grated yam with wasabi, chicken sashimi, garlic chicken neck, soft-boiled quail egg, and white onion. They also serve highballs and shochu on the rocks. The restaurant plays nostalgic Showa era songs as background music. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming.

I found a yakitori restaurant while exploring the neighborhood before my upcoming move. It looked small and unassuming from the outside, but after seeing photos from others, I decided to give it a try. The interior had a counter and two tables, with a lot of regular customers. I started with a draft beer, served in a frosted mug, which was great. I ordered a variety of yakitori skewers, and everything was delicious. The chef and the assistant were both very efficient and the service was excellent. The prices were not cheap, but the quality of the food made it worth it. I would definitely like to visit this place again. Smoking is allowed.

It's Christmas Eve at 7:00 PM in 2022. It's a festive night, so I'm considering having tsukemen at a ramen shop or maybe some DGR chicken. I want to warm up with some sake, so yakitori it is. Luckily, there wasn't much of a wait. The place is bustling with customers, mostly groups of nine. The duck tataki here is exceptional. The overflowing masu sake is a sight to behold. For a Japanese Christmas, it has to be chicken wings. Sometimes, a night like this is just perfect.

Last night I got stood up, so I went for a rematch. I just casually enjoyed myself. Started with a draft beer. Ordered some grilled food and a sashimi platter. Surprisingly, the sashimi platter was only ¥700 and it included 5 types (liver, chicken tenderloin, breast meat, heart, gizzard). The liver was seasoned with salt and sesame oil. Isn't that the best?! They are so kind to solo customers. The triangular and tail parts are gizzard, and the neck is the heart. The back liver is otafuku. They even have kishoubui here like it's normal!! And a junmai sake "Sharak" was only ¥700, and they poured it until it overflowed from the masu cup! Can they pour that much? Is there love in there? Only love! All of this for ¥3140, can you believe it's this cheap?! I have to keep coming back!!

This is a great place where you can easily stop by alone after work and enjoy drinks with the master and other customers at the counter. They serve delicious yakitori as well as other dishes that go perfectly with alcohol. I love the atmosphere of this place.

All of them were delicious.

I suddenly decided to visit a yakitori restaurant in the Awa-za area that I had not yet visited. Since it was still early, there were no other customers, and I had the place all to myself for my meal. I decided to try the charcoal-grilled chicken, which looked intriguing. The food was served on a hot plate, sizzling and steaming, which got me excited. However, I found that the portion of chicken was small and there was too much onion, making it feel more like an onion stir-fry with chicken. The chicken itself was not of the best quality and lacked flavor. I also ordered a small sake, but it turned out to be served as hot sake, which was uncomfortably hot. It seemed that the restaurant's concept did not match my preferences, so I decided to leave. Overall, it was not a satisfying dining experience.

The master at this cozy little restaurant always looks busy from the outside, but the atmosphere inside is always filled with laughter. The drinks are reasonably priced, with a small watered-down drink costing 520 yen and liver sashimi for 500 yen. The yakitori skewers are priced between 120 and 160 yen each, and despite not being high-end chicken, they are surprisingly delicious. The secret might be in the way they are grilled. It's a simple place, but it feels comforting. It's all thanks to the master's personality. Thank you for the meal!

This is a cozy little restaurant that I was introduced to by a friend. They skewer freshly picked chicken every morning for the day. If you go late after work, they often run out of items due to their popularity. The food is fresh and delicious. They also have a secret menu with a variety of dishes like spicy mapo tofu and chicken pasta. If they have the ingredients, they will make it for you. Just be patient with the ordering process when they are not busy. The best part is definitely the delicious sauce on the grilled chicken.

Located in Awa-za, this yakitori restaurant has a traditional atmosphere that seems to attract local regulars. With the courage to enter, I found that the prices were reasonable, with draft beer at 380 yen and red Kirishima shochu at 500 yen. They serve yakitori such as harami and matsuba, which are not commonly seen. The matsuba yakitori had plenty of meat and was deliciously refreshing. The dashimaki tamago was also delicious. This is a solid yakitori restaurant with good service from the owner. Overall, it is a high-quality restaurant, but the atmosphere may not be suitable for someone like me who is inexperienced in this type of setting.

Visited around 11:30 pm, when most places around here are closed. I stopped by on my way back from a business trip, wanting to take a breather near my house. The small shop had a counter with 6 seats and 2 tables. The young owner was running the place alone. I ordered a nice soda highball at the counter. You can order yakitori by the piece, which is great for solo diners. I had about 8 skewers grilled. I also ordered daikon salad and Awaodori chicken tartare. The conversation with the owner was lively, and I got some good information about other nearby restaurants. The owner had a friendly and easygoing way of talking, reminding me of a character from a show. The tsukune was delicious, like the old-fashioned kind of dumpling. The tartare was also good, although the sauce was a bit strong for my taste. It was nice that they grilled the skewers according to the customer's pace. They are open until around 2 am, and it seems like they get customers from nearby restaurants in the area. It's great to have a place like this open so late. A convenient spot to have around.

On a day when work ran late, I was taken to this late-night yakitori restaurant by a colleague I was working with. I was surprised to find a yakitori place open until late at night like this. My colleague mentioned that people in the food and beverage industry also gather at this restaurant. It was quite crowded, with regular customers even on a Friday night, and the small restaurant had about 8 seats at the L-shaped counter and a couple of table seats. The place is run by a single man, which may explain why it stays open late. The chicken skewers were decent, priced around 100-150 yen each, though slightly on the expensive side for the quality. However, the highlight was the rare duck sashimi, particularly the seared rare duck meat with its tender texture and the perfect balance of sweetness and fat, served with ponzu sauce. The duck sashimi was a bit pricey at 980 yen, but it was definitely worth it. By the time we finished our meal, the bill had reached the 9000 yen range, which was a bit high for a yakitori place. Overall, it was a unique experience to be able to enjoy a hearty meal at a yakitori restaurant late at night. The menu included items such as draft beer (420 yen), sake (Matsunosuke - 780 yen, Yama no Kagayaki - 680 yen), duck skewer (380 yen each), liver sashimi (480 yen), gizzard (100 yen each), negima (120 yen each), shishito peppers, shiitake mushrooms, chicken wrapped in shiso leaves, special chicken breast (150 yen each), chicken wings (150 yen each), pickled plum and jellyfish (380 yen), and duck tataki (980 yen).

I've recently been hooked on visiting yakitori restaurants on street corners, and one of them that I wanted to try was Tori-Kozo. It's always bustling with people and has a lively atmosphere. They offer rare chicken parts, which shows their dedication to quality. The interior of the restaurant is small, with counter seats and two tables. It's a cozy place where you can relax and enjoy your meal. There were even families with children dining there. The pickles were delicious and I really enjoyed them. The service was great, and it's no wonder they have many regular customers. If only it were closer, I would definitely visit regularly.

Commuting by bike, I have a habit of searching for good yakitori places along my route, for some reason. So, I visited a place near my house without any prior information. The interior of the restaurant had an L-shaped counter and two tables. Since the counter was full of regular customers, I sat alone at the counter. The master and two female staff members were very friendly and provided great service. My order this time was: - Draft beer for 420 yen (a bit expensive for Osaka, would be happier if it was around 380 yen) - Lemon chu-hai for 300 yen (reasonable price, just what I wanted) - Chicken skin for 100 yen (crispy and perfectly salted, you can tell the grilling skills with the chicken skin) - Chicken liver sashimi for 480 yen (fresh and delicious, wish there was a bit more volume) I had eaten a lot during a business trip the day before, so I wanted a lighter meal today. I actually wanted to order more yakitori, but I'll save it for next time. Thank you for the meal.

When I went to Edo-bori for work and was walking towards the Awa-za subway station, I ran into someone I had previously worked with. I knew their office was in Edo-bori, but we hadn't seen each other in a while. We decided to have a chat, and they took me to a small yakitori restaurant. I had passed by the restaurant before, but it was my first time going in. The yakitori here is delicious. You can order just one skewer, and the friendly owner carefully grills and serves it. The prices are reasonable, and it's a honest place. They have a variety of skewers like chicken liver, pine leaves, and duck, as well as sashimi and tataki. The grilled chicken skewers are cooked perfectly, and the sauce is not too sweet, complementing the sake well. The soup we had at the end was also very tasty. I'll definitely come back alone next time.

I have visited this restaurant many times, and it's a place where you can enjoy delicious yakitori with the same great taste since its establishment while having a fun chat with the master. Whether you go alone or with a group, they can accommodate all needs. The menu is extensive, and the soft-boiled quail eggs seem to be a dish that they put a lot of effort into making (even though you eat it in a moment). Despite being a small and narrow shop, it is always lively with people's laughter. They also offer bottle keep for shochu, and the master doesn't just leave ice, water, and the bottle, but he personally prepares each drink. I will definitely visit again soon.
