I visited a modern Tokyo-style yakitori restaurant located in a back alley near Akasaka subway station. I ordered the omakase course of 12 skewers, which features rare chicken offal cuts, making it an interesting place. The appetizers were boiled chicken tenderloin with a sauce made from sake lees and chicken skin tsukudani. - Misaki: The tail of a female chicken that no longer lays eggs. The meat quality changes significantly, becoming tender and flavorful due to all the nutrients going into the meat instead of egg production. It was cooked perfectly. - Kimo: The heart (hatsu) is skewered at the tip. It was rare and the sauce was delicious. - Engawa: The meat of the diaphragm, known as harami, with a unique chewy texture. - Tsukune with truffle and kinkan: Kinkan is the egg yolk before it becomes an egg in the ovary or oviduct. It has a rich flavor that pairs well with the tsukune. It's like a deluxe version of Matsusuke's egg and tsukune. If the truffle had a bit more aroma, it would have been amazing. - Sunagimo: Skewered gizzard with a crunchy texture, sliced and skewered. The quality was excellent, showing confidence in sashimi as well. - Otafuku: Thymus (secretes growth hormone) scraped from the inside of the skin. It is a super rare part that can only be obtained from about 30 chickens. - Thick fried tofu, golden needle vegetable, lily buds, kappa (chest cartilage), and chouchin (egg yolk before becoming an egg) were also served. - Kokoro no kori: The meat around the heart and liver root. It's a rare part that can only be obtained from about 10 chickens. - Tebasaki: A smoked and skewered chicken wing tip served with a sprinkle of sansho pepper seeds as an accent. The soup had a rich chicken broth flavor and was delicious. The dessert was a vanilla ice cream with blue salt, which was interesting and tasty. The selection of drinks was good (seems like it's from Sumiyoshi Saketen) and the stylish atmosphere makes it a fun place to enjoy. It's great for a date, I think.

I went to this restaurant with a senior colleague for the first time. The atmosphere inside was very calm and it felt like a hidden gem in Akasaka. The people around were also very chill, making it a great spot for a date. We ordered the chef's selection of 10 skewers, which was enough to fill us up. The one with chicken skin and two egg yolks was particularly delicious and something I had never tried before. I will definitely come back again.

It was really great. Delicious and surprisingly quite cheap. The quality is high but the prices are low. I didn't understand some of the menu items, but the staff helped me. The grated radish was eaten with soy sauce, not vinegar. Everything made with eggs was delicious. It was a great experience!

Located in the Daimyo area of Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City, just a 12-minute walk from Nishitetsu Fukuoka "Tenjin Station" and about a 5-minute walk from Akasaka Station on the subway. This area is known for its fierce competition among yakitori restaurants, with popular yakitori shops scattered around. The restaurant in question is a yakitori specialty store operated by the company "Boulders," which also owns brands like "Tonkatsu Hikari." The concept of this restaurant is to offer yakitori that showcases the "reliable skills" of a grill master who trained at a long-established yakitori restaurant in Tokyo. The exterior is on the first floor of a mixed-use building, while the interior exudes a high-quality and classy atmosphere with a modern Japanese design that sets it apart from other yakitori restaurants in Fukuoka. We tried the "Akasaka Course/12 skewers" along with a platter of "Miyazaki Jidori chicken sashimi," "Master's Oyakodon," and "Minced Chicken Bowl." The meal started with a complimentary dish of "Chicken Skin & Pickles," which was delicious and set a promising tone for the rest of the meal. The sashimi platter featured fresh cuts of various parts of the chicken, each enhanced with flavors like kombu and homemade karasumi. The yakitori skewers, ranging from premium cuts like "Mune" and "Enagawa" to offal items like "Liver" and "Gizzard," were perfectly grilled, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with well-balanced seasoning and sauce. Grilled vegetables like "Yamato potato" and "Mini onion" were also excellent. The "Onsen quail egg" served as a palate cleanser was a unique touch not commonly found in Fukuoka. The meal concluded with a light and flavorful "Homemade Chicken Soup." Overall, it was a fantastic course that showcased the chef's grilling skills. We also tried the "Master's Oyakodon" and "Minced Chicken Bowl," with the former being slightly lacking in egg quantity compared to our preference. This yakitori restaurant is definitely worth a visit for a special treat.

Night Torishi-san after a long time. I was so excited that I was floating around since noon. I visited on a Saturday night, but this spacious restaurant was almost full... The seats are widely spaced, so it's reassuring, but when did it become such a popular place... The age group of the customers is on the higher side, and the counter is mostly occupied by couples. As usual, I ordered the 7-course meal. The carefully grilled yakitori is brought to you at a good pace. Some of them were upgraded from before, and the chicken was different from before, but still, everything was delicious. You can always eat rare parts like heart and tail, and I like that they put seasonal vegetables on skewers. Somehow, it feels like the grilling is stronger than before? I preferred the liver-only from before. I had a delicious sake from Shinsei as well. But next time, I'll come on a weekday (laughs). Thank you for the meal~

Today's lunch was at Torishi-san after a long time. They are currently operating with shortened hours for lunch and takeout. I had their Torishi-don, which caught my eye instead of the usual oyako-don. It came with 3 pieces of yakitori, grilled vegetables, kinkan (I think), and minced chicken. The yakitori included thigh meat, tsukune, and chicken wings, all cooked over charcoal, which made them packed with flavor. Delicious! I usually pair yakitori with alcohol, but I realized it goes well with rice dishes too. The miso soup turned out to be chicken soup with a soft tofu floating in it, which was creamy and rich. I hope they will open for dinner soon too. Thank you for the meal!

It's been a while since I last visited Toriji. It was also nice to see the handsome owner again after a long time. This time, I visited early in the evening and ordered a 12-course meal. The carefully grilled yakitori was excellent. The female Bonjiri's tail meat was exceptional in both texture and flavor! I remember ordering more of it during my last visit. The deboned and easy-to-eat tebasaki wings are a delight for women on a date. It's not often you get to see someone enjoying tebasaki wings so wholeheartedly. This is a place you would want to take someone special to. I think women would really appreciate it. I had a very satisfying time and will definitely visit again!

I often pass by the famous "Torishi" but had never been there before. The entrance and interior of the restaurant were clean and had a calm, adult atmosphere which was nice. The yakitori and highball were delicious. The service was good and it seems like they pay attention to the charcoal they use. There were also some rare cuts of meat available.

This time, we visited Toriji located at 2-3-3 Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, on the 1st floor of Lapis Lazuli. The facade exudes an adult atmosphere. There are four table seats around the counter in a sophisticated design. The lighting is dimmed, creating a great atmosphere. Perfect for business entertainment or a date. The system is to first choose a course and then order additional skewers. The course options include a 7-skewer course for 2,100 yen, or an omakase course. The omakase course includes appetizers (pickles, marinated chicken breast with homemade karasumi), grilled vegetables, four types of meat (misaki, female chicken tail, en-gawa, harami, toro-kawa), two types of offal (liver, maru-hatsu), and homemade chicken soup. The restaurant has a rating of 3.06, but the grilling technique and quality are top-notch. A hidden gem of an adult yakitori restaurant, highly recommended. Thank you for the meal.

I was planning to go to a nearby restaurant called "Nejikemon," but when I tried to enter, I was turned away. I underestimated "Nejikemon." (laughs) Since I was in the mood for yakitori, I decided to visit this restaurant instead. It's a stylish and upscale yakitori place. Luckily, there were seats available at the counter, so I was seated quickly. Looking at the menu, it seems like the only option for skewers is to order the "Chef's choice skewer set." I also ordered a "Sashimi assortment." The sashimi was fresh and delicious. Although it can be a bit pricey, I think everything is delicious.

I passed by this shop and decided to visit for the first time. I ordered 10 chicken skewers without vegetables, but surprisingly the 9th skewer was a ginkgo nut... I didn't say anything and just paid the bill. I hesitated to speak up because the skewer was already cooked. The chef seemed to be enthusiastic about food, so it was disappointing. I originally planned to write about the taste, but I was so disappointed that I won't go into details. I wanted to order some rare cuts as well, but I felt down so I just paid the bill quietly. Compared to nearby shops, the cost performance is not great.

Today I went to Torishi for the first time in a while, it's been so long that I feel a little embarrassed.../// The place is spacious, the seats are comfortable, the lighting is dim, and they play jazz music, creating a cozy atmosphere. As usual, I ordered the 7-course set with a draft beer. The appetizers were pickled vegetables and boiled chicken skin, both delicious. The charcoal-grilled yakitori is amazing, crispy on the outside and juicy inside. I love how they serve the liver with just salt. Even with the smallest course, they include rare cuts of meat, which I really appreciate. Today's vegetable skewer was made with sweet potato, and it was so tender and sweet, I was impressed. I debated whether to have the oyakodon at the end, but I was too full, so I had to skip it. The entrance may seem a bit intimidating, but the owner seems young (probably) and the staff is friendly, so it's a great place. It would be perfect if it was non-smoking, but personally, I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you for the meal~

I was taken there by my senior. The entrance had a luxurious feel, and the interior was very clean. We ordered a 10-piece course to start with. The chef grilled the skewers carefully, and when I took the first bite, I was amazed by how delicious it was! I have never had such tasty grilled skewers before! The staff's service was also great. If you're in Fukuoka, this is the place to go!

I chose a course where you can enjoy various parts of yakitori and also try chicken sashimi, but it was almost sold out due to its popularity, so I had white liver instead. The variety of drinks was also great.

The interior and exterior of the shop are lovely and make you forget that it is in a prestigious area. However, there are doubts about the taste.

The course was left to the chef's choice, and all we got was grilled dishes. There must have been some intention behind it. The interior of the restaurant had a calm atmosphere and was a sophisticated space for adults.

I had a job in Akasaka (Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City). After finishing my business on the 6th floor of a certain building in 7 minutes, it's time for lunch. I'm heading to "Yakitori Torifumi" restaurant. Normally they operate at night, but due to Fukuoka City's shortened business hours request, they are currently open for lunch until May 19th (12:00-Last Order 13:30). This is a great opportunity to visit. The location is at the intersection of Akasaka 1-chome, at a T-junction. It's next to one of Fukuoka City's famous yakiniku restaurants, Rikaen. There are a couple of coin parking spaces in front of the restaurant. I arrived at 12:10. The interior of the restaurant is very stylish and has a luxurious feel. There are counter seats in a U-shape, and also table seats in the back on the right. No other customers were there. As I entered, I made eye contact with a staff member. Since they didn't greet me with a "Welcome," my question of "Are you open?" seemed to be taken the wrong way, and I received a suspicious look from the staff... The atmosphere started off a bit heavy. Since I was dining alone, I sat at the counter. I ordered the "Torifumi Don" (1,320 yen, tax included), which is the restaurant's signature dish. It includes 3 assorted skewers, minced chicken, grilled vegetables, and chicken soup. There were two types of Torifumi Don, but I wasn't too impressed with the first one, so I decided to go with the second one for now. From where I sat, I could see the grilling area. Chicken and vegetables were skewered and grilled over charcoal. They used Binchotan charcoal. I could see the grilling process, including dipping the skewers in sauce. Once the skewers were grilled, they were taken to the back...? After a while, the Torifumi Don was served. Half of the rice was topped with minced chicken, and the other half had grilled chicken and vegetables. The vegetables included leeks, shiitake mushrooms, and green peppers. The grilled chicken was explained to me, including soft bone tsukune, neck meat, and a part called "Furisode" which is the base of the wing. It's nice to have explanations about the different parts. Let's dig in. The Furisode had a texture more like steak than chicken meat. Combined with the aroma of charcoal, it truly tasted like a dish from a specialty store. Unfortunately, the chicken soup was a bit off, with a strange taste, so I added some sansho pepper provided to enhance the flavor. There was quite a contrast between the quality of the grilled chicken and the soup... It was delicious, but considering the price, it may be a bit overpriced. Thank you for the meal.

I went to the restaurant and ordered a 10-course meal. It was delicious. The refreshing grated radish was fresh and interesting. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice. It seems suitable for both work and dates. The portions of both food and drinks are on the smaller side. I have a small appetite, but I still felt a bit unsatisfied.

The best yakitori restaurant. I still remember the excitement of the first time I tried it. Each menu item is delicious. The chef carefully grills each skewer. Highly recommended!

Recently, there have been many changes in popular restaurants, so I have been hesitant to visit new places. My friend said they don't like noisy places, so we chose this quiet and atmospheric restaurant. The interior ambiance was impressive, right? It's a nice place with a small number of seats for its size, which adds to the sense of luxury. The skewers were as delicious as ever. The service has become more attentive since the staff changed. The owner is focused on grilling but also keeps an eye on the restaurant. It's not cheap yakitori like you find in Fukuoka, but it's a great restaurant that I would recommend to others. Thank you for the meal.
