★It seems that Torihiko waited at the wrong bus stop... When the bus didn't arrive on time, he asked a staff member nearby, who told him that the bus had left from the next stop... He ended up waiting for over an hour before getting on the bus and arriving at his parents' house about 2 hours later... After that, they decided to visit Torihiko in front of Horobetsu Station for dinner. The restaurant had been renovated and looked completely different from before. The service was extremely meticulous no matter what they ordered. The skewers were on the smaller side but really delicious. While he also likes the rougher grilled chicken elsewhere, he found this style hard to resist. The prices were reasonable, and the combination of the adult atmosphere and tasty grilled chicken made it a place he would frequent if he lived nearby. The bill was covered by his sister and brother-in-law as a birthday present. Thank you for the meal!

It's a yakitori restaurant. It was so delicious that I visited twice within 5 days of my first visit, and then went a third time. My friend went once and loved it, so we went together. It was crowded every time, even on weekdays. The yakitori is priced per skewer on the menu, and you can order from 2 skewers. The crispy skin (110 yen) and crunchy cartilage (150 yen) were all delicious and went well with drinks. They also tasted great with mustard. The side dishes were also delicious. The cream cheese yakko-style (350 yen) was the best snack. Thinking about it makes me want to go again soon. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I would like to introduce "Yakitori Torihiko" as a continuation of the blog post about the dining event at "Shun no Daidokoro Kurumi". This yakitori restaurant is located in front of Horobetsu Station in Noboribetsu City, and is known locally as a delicious yakitori place. Despite its reputation, I had never had the opportunity to visit until now. I finally went in and ordered a beer first, then selected yakitori from the menu. I ordered a variety of items such as beef, chicken, and Genghis Khan skewers. I had quite a few drinks during the first round, so looking back now, my memory is a bit hazy, but I can say that it was delicious. I definitely want to go back to this yakitori restaurant. If you are interested, please give it a try.

When you get off at JR Horobetsu Station, you are always greeted by the delicious smell of yakitori. This yakitori restaurant blends in well with the local area. Usually, the motherly figure runs the shop, but on this day, a beautiful young woman was in charge. Is she the young master's wife? The menu here is simple, with only yakitori and drinks available. If you want rice dishes or fried foods, you can get them from the neighboring Guuchokipa-san, which is convenient. There are counter seats and a raised seating area, and this time I chose the raised seating area. When you come here, try the grilled white chicken skewers - they are delicious. Enjoy them with shochu and water. The yakitori here is carefully grilled, giving it a traditional yakitori shop feel where you feel like you are passing through the noren with your change in hand. The restaurant focuses on grilling rather than exterior appearance or interior decoration. If you commute by JR train, you might end up visiting this place regularly. The Buta store manager's blog at Funoka Pharmacy also features this restaurant.

Noboribetsu City, where Noboribetsu Onsen is located... Well, setting aside the fact that the nearest JR station is Horobetsu Station, this is a yakitori restaurant near the station. It seems to have quite a history, but after the renovation, it feels strangely tidy, which the old guys find a bit uncomfortable. Is it just right for a yakitori restaurant to have red lanterns shining dimly? Haha. There is a counter on the right and seats lined up on the left. Quite a few people can fit in here. It seems like there are several groups of local company-related drinking parties, lively and clearly all regulars. There must be few first-time visitors here. The owner, the landlady, and the part-timers skillfully serve the old guys while promptly providing drinks. Impressive! The appetizers like sashimi and small dishes are all homemade and really good. They are included in the all-you-can-drink party set, so the owner's work keeps coming out. Well, the menu is typical for an izakaya - salad, fried chicken, sashimi, several types of yakitori, pickles, and what else? I can't remember. I don't recall seeing any big items like hot pots. As we drink more and more, some old guys must be here for the skilled landlady. Haha. It seems like it would be fun to sit at the counter and nibble on yakitori here. Speaking of yakitori, it's a mix of chicken, pork, and more, typical for this area! Haha. The quality of the yakitori is high overall, and the sauce seems to be good. Well, it's the neighboring town of Muroran after all. While asking the owner to grill some skewers, I'll ask the landlady for just one cup of hot sake, and enjoy it poured by her. Yeah, that's the way to do it =3 I want to be an old guy who can enjoy the proper way to enjoy a traditional yakitori restaurant. Yeah, it was delicious ^^ I drank again today! This was Gocchan.

The yakitori here is delicious! When it comes to Muroran yakitori in Noboribetsu, Torihiko is the best. The pork with special sauce is the top choice. I can easily eat 10 skewers by myself. The asparagus wrapped in pork is also delicious, I recommend it! Whether with sauce or salt, it's good. I think pork yakitori is way better than the regular chicken yakitori. Chicken yakitori gets boring quickly and is greasy, but pork is refreshing and you can eat as much as you want without getting tired of it! I wish Muroran yakitori would become famous nationwide.

It's a small but always crowded yakitori restaurant. It's a family-run shop that is deeply rooted in the local community and loved by everyone. I always order the 7 skewers of yakitori and then ask the master for the day's recommended appetizer. After beer, I have been trying the sweet potato shochu that the second generation is focusing on. The menu is still limited, but you can feel the passion behind it! The restaurant is filled with salarymen, families, and elderly couples, with few young women in sight, which may reflect the aging population in the countryside. However, the highlight here is definitely the yakitori. Without a strong foundation in both customer service and quality products, a restaurant cannot thrive. This place can be considered one of the few top restaurants in Horobetsu.

This is a yakitori restaurant that everyone in Horobetsu knows, if you don't know this place, you're not from Horobetsu! It's a hidden gem! The mama has an overwhelming presence, the master is modest but exudes an aura of a true craftsman, and recently their son has joined the team. With this, Torihiko has become the strongest and most solid establishment in Horobetsu. The cozy atmosphere of the small yet charming interior is a unique feature of this rural restaurant. Every day, it is bustling with local regular customers, creating a nostalgic and heartwarming scene. Oh, with this setting, everything you eat will surely taste delicious. The reason why everyone gathers here is not just because of the people, but because of the yakitori made by the master and his son. Oh, just thinking about Torihiko... Mama, another round of shochu, please!
