■ Overall Review I found out on Twitter that someone who trained at "Torishiki" in Tokyo is opening a restaurant in Fukuoka, so I made a reservation through an Instagram page and visited the restaurant. I had high expectations after tasting the amazing yakitori at "Torishiki" during the "DREAMDUSK" event at The Luigans Spa & Resort. However, compared to "Torishiki" or "Torue," the yakitori at this Fukuoka restaurant, "Torira," was not as impressive. It is still one of the top yakitori restaurants in Fukuoka, but it falls short in terms of impact. Unfortunately, I couldn't make a reservation for one person, so I had to ask a junior to accompany me. Also, the service charge added up to the bill, making it quite expensive. Additionally, the restaurant had a unique layout, more like an L-shaped izakaya, which was interesting. ■ Beer The beer was served in thin glasses, a common practice in high-end restaurants. I always wonder if these glasses break easily while being washed. As I got tipsy towards the end, I didn't pay much attention to the beer. ■ Man'yoji Togarashi The Man'yoji Togarashi was not very spicy, but it had a strong umami flavor. It was delicious, possibly due to being grilled over charcoal. ■ Oshinko It was my first time trying oshinko other than with rice, and it was surprisingly elegant and mild. The daikon was particularly delicious. ■ Yakitori with Butter and Charcoal The first yakitori was grilled over charcoal, giving it a delightful aroma. The scent was subtle while eating, but the yuzu pepper added a nice flavor. ■ Torikami The handmade chicken consommé soup was rich and tasty. However, having tasted the exceptional chicken consommé at Saison d'Or last month, my impression was slightly diminished. ■ Kashiwa Personally, the best skewer of the day was the kashiwa. Both the chicken and the sauce were delicious, with a perfect smoky aroma from the charcoal. I would love to have this with rice. ■ Daikon Oroshi The restaurant charges a service fee, and the daikon oroshi seemed to be a reason for it. The chef generously added more when it ran out, and it was a refreshing palate cleanser between the yakitori. ■ Sunagimo The sunagimo was outstanding, possibly ranking among the top three in Fukuoka. However, compared to "Torishiki," which I rated higher, there might be a slight difference in the sourcing of ingredients. ■ Resting Dish: Arugula Simple Salad The arugula salad was a refreshing break. The quality of arugula here was exceptional, adding a delicious flavor to the cheese. ■ Proud Broccoli Grilled broccoli on a skewer was a unique addition. It seemed slightly overcooked at first, but the slow, low-temperature grilling brought out the sweetness perfectly. ■ Classic Atsuage I was surprised to see atsuage yakitori, as I thought it was a specialty of a yakitori restaurant in Fukuoka. The atsuage was delicious, and the grilling technique seemed to be spot on, bringing out the sweetness well.

The location in Tokyo doesn't offer great value for money, but the service is good and the food is delicious and well-prepared. With beer and sake, it costs around 16,000 yen per person. The menu is well-prepared with added value. It seems like the restaurant is targeting more towards inbound tourists rather than Japanese customers. When leaving, they made onigiri with the leftover rice from the hot pot, but the onigiri had no fillings. It makes me wonder if it was intentional or a lack of creativity. Attention to detail like this can make a difference.

I usually go to the Roppongi branch, but happened to visit Fukuoka so I came to this branch to see the owner. I love chicken wings and liver, but I also love the vegetable skewers here. The rice bowl with tsukune and egg, and the ochazuke, tasted just as delicious as always. Maybe the rice has been upgraded? I will definitely visit again.

I visited the restaurant for a short lunch course. The interior had a stylish atmosphere, with attentive service and a feeling of Tokyo-style yakitori that got me excited. The course had a good amount of volume, with satisfying number and taste of skewers. The chicken wings were especially delicious. Finally, rice cooked in a pot was served, which was surprisingly delicious and impressive. The rice could be turned into ochazuke with chicken broth. I left feeling full. The clientele was calm, allowing for a leisurely and somewhat luxurious lunch experience. Thank you very much.

Today was a business trip to Fukuoka. It was lunchtime before heading to the site for a meeting. In the rainy Fukuoka, I wondered where to go for lunch. I decided to call a restaurant that I could visit for lunch (30 minutes before the reservation time). Luckily, they had availability, so I checked out of the hotel and headed to the restaurant. It was Torikami-san located on the 2nd floor of Fukuoka Daimyo Garden City Viosquare, which opened in June. It used to be Toriokasan, a branch of Torishiki in Roppongi Hills, but now it seems to have become Torikami-san and the first branch in Fukuoka. Operated by M.I.T. Co., Ltd., just like Torisaki in Kyoto. I was curious about what it would be like since before the opening. Just before, I got caught in a sudden heavy rain, but I managed to arrive at the restaurant right at the reservation time of 11:30. Similar to Toriokasan, I was guided into a black stage-like space. There are quite a few counter seats. There also seem to be private rooms. I was seated and immediately greeted politely despite the bad weather. I looked at the drink menu and ordered the Golden Ginger Ale. The lunch was an omakase short course, and for the rice dish, I could choose between "Natsuhonoka" from Kagoshima Prefecture or the branded rice "Tatsunohitomi" from Gifu Prefecture for an additional fee of ¥800. I opted for the "Tatsunohitomi" rice. Here is what I had in order: 1. Vegetable sweet vinegar pickles - cucumber, turnip, myoga. 2. Kashiwa - a fairly voluminous skewer. The texture was tender. They used "Aritadori" from Saga Prefecture instead of "Date Chicken." The charcoal flavor was imparted through "strong fire near the flame," as in Torishiki, but... 3. Torikami handcrafted consomme soup. 4. Sunagimo - also quite voluminous. Slightly lacking in saltiness. 5. Today's purchased part - the part was the shoulder. The grilling was decent, but slightly lacking in saltiness. 6. Thick fried tofu - similar to what I had at Toriokasan, I understood. It was hot and fluffy. 7. Tebasaki - chicken wings. 8. Tsukimi tsukune - moon-viewing meatballs. 9. Donabe rice + 4 rice accompaniments - mustard greens, nori tsukudani, shredded dried fish with sansho pepper, and plum and kombu something. Unfortunately, the crucial part, the rice, had a hard core left rather than being al dente. The "Tatsunohitomi" rice was wasted. All the accompaniments were delicious, which made it more disappointing. 10. Warabimochi - it was my first time having warm warabimochi. It took a little over an hour. I was a bit nervous as it was just in time for the bus to the site. My impression is, honestly, hmm. The grilling was decent, but the satisfaction of each skewer was... Was it like this at Toriokasan? The intervals between each skewer were too long, making the time drag on. The service staff, although inexperienced, should be more professional in their service. I hope for improvement in the future. Thank you for the meal!

Opened on 6/8 in Daimyo Garden City, this yakitori restaurant is run by chefs who trained at the Michelin-starred restaurant "Torishiki." The high-quality yakitori here is a must-try. I had lunch here at the request of my friend, F. The interior, dominated by black, is a stylish space. We arrived at 11 am and were the only ones there for a while, but by noon on a weekday, it was full. We started with a toast with beer (880 yen) and pre-booked the lunch-only "Short Course: 3,800 yen (tax included)." With the 10% service charge added, the total came to 5,150 yen (tax included; credit cards accepted). The meal included: - Pickled vegetables in sweet vinegar, with tasty myoga. - Handmade chicken thigh consomme soup, with a refined chicken flavor. - Chicken thigh (momo), juicy and flavorful. - Gizzard (zuri), a texture-focused dish. - Chicken tenderloin (seseri), juicy and delicious. - Thickly grilled tofu, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. - Chicken wings, large and deliciously fatty. - Tsukune (meatball with raw egg yolk), clay pot rice, and 4 rice accompaniments. - Tsukune with raw egg yolk, a delicious and texturally pleasing dish. - Clay pot rice, shiny and delicious. - 4 rice accompaniments, including seaweed simmered in soy sauce and dried fish with mountain pepper. - Chicken broth ochazuke, a gentle and delicious way to finish the meal. - Freshly made warabi mochi and tea, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The yakitori was delicious as always, and the addition of clay pot rice was a pleasant surprise. The service was attentive and the atmosphere was welcoming. I will definitely visit again. The total cost, including drinks, was 5,150 yen (tax included; credit cards accepted).

I was recommended to visit Torikami by a friend when I was going to Fukuoka. It's a yakitori restaurant, and they particularly praised the rice there. When I arrived at the restaurant, I found the atmosphere to be very stylish and sophisticated. There was no background music playing, so I could hear the voices of the staff and the sound of the yakitori being grilled, which was really nice. Each dish was refined and delicious, and the staff paid attention to every detail, allowing me to fully enjoy my meal until the end. It was truly delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant for a much-anticipated trip to Hakata, and it was the grand finale of my journey (fitting for a yakitori place). The stylish atmosphere with a main stage-like kitchen counter and the delicious dishes served one after another were all superb. In particular, the broccoli was very fresh and unique, adding to the experience. Despite my last-minute request due to catching the last train, the staff kindly prepared a takeout package and saw me off until I disappeared from view. Their customer service was so impeccable it felt almost divine (fitting for a chicken god). I will definitely visit again! Thank you for the wonderful time.

Next to the Fukuoka Ritz-Carlton is the Fukuoka Daimyo Garden City complex, where I visited the Torishiki affiliate on the second floor. It is the first in Fukuoka and I was excited to go. The dark and black interior with a spotlight on the central grill creates a theatrical atmosphere. We opted for the 12,000 yen course, which is quite bold. We enjoyed dishes such as bitter melon appetizer, grilled chicken with Echire butter, consomme soup, grilled chicken gizzard, arugula salad, broccoli, thick fried tofu, grilled chicken neck, shiitake mushrooms, chicken heart, corn, freshly cooked rice, and chicken broth tea rice. We also had warabi mochi for dessert. Fukuoka has many affordable and delicious yakitori restaurants, so I hope they continue to do well. It was a perfect place for a date.

I visited a yakitori restaurant located in Daimyo Garden City. Despite being a yakitori place, it had a very stylish atmosphere. The evening course is priced at 12,000 yen only. The yakitori skewers were all large and satisfying to eat, with a juicy texture. The thick fried tofu was crispy and paired well with the myoga and shiso leaf condiments on top, which I personally enjoyed. I have never tried broccoli at other yakitori restaurants, but it was delicious and fragrant. The shiitake mushrooms released a juicy umami flavor when bitten into. The staff were all attentive and considerate, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. I think they would provide excellent service for dates or anniversaries. However, in Fukuoka, the 12,000 yen yakitori course may feel a bit expensive. Nevertheless, it is a great place to dine in a calm and relaxing atmosphere.

This was my first visit. It's a bit expensive, but the food was delicious. The staff's service was excellent. It felt a bit more upscale compared to regular yakitori places. It does take some time for all the courses to finish, but I left feeling full. Thank you for the meal.

At Garden City, a person who seemed to be a regular was grilling yakitori. I visited for lunch. The atmosphere was dark and calm, and I could watch the grilling process in the middle. The skewers were big and satisfying to eat. Personally, I found the thick tofu delicious, reminiscent of a training ground. The chicken was not from a famous breed, but it was very filling. The lunch menu had fewer items, but it was enough to fill me up. I changed the final course to "Dragon's Eye" rice and had multiple refills of the hot pot, finishing with chicken ochazuke. I was so full...Lunch with yakitori is also an option. Then I relaxed on the grass outside.

This time, we are located at 2-6-50 Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Daimyo Garden City Biosquare 2F. We are going to Torikami GARDEN CITY, a popular spot in the area! Dinner course is only 12,000 yen. Plus a 10% service charge. Well, once you start ordering drinks, the bill will go up, haha. The interior of the restaurant has a chic black theme with a counter in a U-shape. Let's cheers with a draft beer! The glass has a thin rim and feels nice on the lips. The appetizers are based on Japanese cuisine, with pickles, myoga, daikon, and cucumber. The grilled chicken is aromatic with butter and charcoal, and they use Echire butter to add flavor to the charcoal. The handmade consomme soup is served in a luxurious glass bowl and has a rich flavor. The chicken skewers are thick and tender, and the gizzard is also delicious. The simple salad with arugula is refreshing. The broccoli is prepared meticulously and takes time to cook. The classic chicken dumplings are juicy and flavorful. The seasonal vegetables and grilled chicken wings are generously portioned. The Tsukune with raw egg is served with rice, which can also be made into a double portion. The freshly cooked rice in a pot is fluffy and delicious. The dessert of the day is served with wine, and I ended up getting tipsy. The chicken is said to be from Nagasaki. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Opened on June 8th at Daimyo Garden City, this yakitori restaurant is run by chefs who trained at the Michelin-starred restaurant "Torishiki." They offer high-quality yakitori that you can enjoy. They also have a branch in Roppongi Hills. I was able to make a reservation for one person by calling 15 minutes before my visit, as they only accept reservations for two or more online. The lunch course I had was priced at 3,800 yen, and with a drink and service charge, the total came to 4,820 yen. The restaurant has a stylish interior with a counter where you can watch the chefs cook the yakitori. The dishes were delicious, especially the chicken skewers which were large and juicy. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly. Overall, it was a satisfying lunch experience, and I would like to try their 12,000 yen course next time.

Torikami, a popular yakitori restaurant with its main branch in Roppongi, is known for grilling carefully selected brand chickens with high-quality Binchotan charcoal. It just opened on June 8, 2023, on the 2nd floor of Daimyo Garden City, next to the group's restaurant, Yonel. The interior of the restaurant is dark and stylish, resembling a theater, with a counter seat surrounding the kitchen in a U-shape, accommodating a total of 18 seats. There are also private rooms for four people. The menu consists of an omakase course, priced at 12,000 yen (tax included) for dinner.

I wanted to eat yakitori so I went to Torikami in Daimyo Garden City. The owner of Torishiki, a famous yakitori restaurant, has moved here and the yakitori is delicious! No complaints at all. Even the last dish in the clay pot was amazing. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely go back again.

I made a same-day reservation at "Torikami" on the 2nd floor of Daimyo Garden City for dinner. It's a counter seat surrounding a grill in a U-shape, where the owner, who trained at "Torishiki," cooks the dishes. I enjoyed a Ebisu beer for ¥880 (tax included). The appetizer was a gentle flavored chilled Kaga thick cucumber, pickled vegetables in sweet vinegar, and grilled chicken with Echire butter and charcoal for a fragrant dish. The chicken skin was grilled directly on charcoal to bring out the aroma of butter. The homemade consommé soup at Torikami had a warm and gentle salty flavor. The chicken thigh skewer and gizzard were well cooked. I also had a salad with arugula and cheese for a palate cleanser. The broccoli skewer was the most impressive, very delicious. The grilled thick tofu was silky and hot. The grilled chicken wing without bones was refreshing with lemon. The grilled crab shumai and shiitake mushroom were also delicious. I love liver, and the liver dish was good, but could have been better with more sauce. The grilled corn was sweet and tasty. The large chicken wing was huge. I declined the clay pot rice to avoid getting too full. I had tsukune (chicken meatball) and raw egg yolk next. I only had the pickles for rice seasoning. The dessert was a freshly wrapped strawberry daifuku. It was delicious despite strawberries being out of season. The meal cost around ¥15,000 with two beers and a 10% service charge. The staff provided plenty of hot towels and changed plates for each dish. The service charge was a bit much, but overall, it was a luxurious dining experience.

The same yakitori can be so different! The quality is high! Perfectly grilled, great texture, delicious flavor, nice atmosphere, good charcoal, and the grated daikon radish is a nice touch! Everything is great! It may be expensive for yakitori, but for a course meal, it's affordable! If I could make a request, I would love it if they served Asahi Super Dry! Extra cold would make it even better! I will definitely visit again. Maybe once a month!

The stylish interior is perfect for a date. It would be nice if there were a few more options like sashimi or rare items on the menu at a slightly higher price.

The omakase course was the only option available and it took 2 hours and 30 minutes. The taste was good but the portion was a bit too much. They gave us a souvenir. The clay pot rice was delicious.
