The shop at the ropeway entrance was full, so we visited here instead. Inside, there are 3 tables and a counter. It looks clean as it seems to be the 2nd anniversary of opening. They also have a restroom. You can order yakitori by the stick, and the chicken sashimi was delicious. It seems they have a strong commitment to quality and taste. It was a bit disappointing that the food took a while to be served, probably because it was almost full. The service is good.

I visited the restaurant on a Sunday night and found the quiet atmosphere quite pleasant, especially coming from the Susukino area. The variety of shochu available seemed impressive, but as I am a child who cannot drink shochu, I settled for a sour cocktail. The meat was incredibly tender, especially the heart skewers which I found to be particularly impressive. The staff, including the owner, a woman, and a young man, were all very attentive and even saw us off perfectly. I definitely want to go back again!

It seems they source their chicken from Kyushu. This is my second time visiting today, but the staff and manager still don't seem to recognize me, so there wasn't any particularly friendly service. I recommend the enkawa skewers, which are not on the menu! And of course, the pictured chicken liver skewers too!

About a 10-minute walk from the subway Namboku Line "Horomirai Bridge Station", crossing through Nakajima Park and crossing the street at the tram stop "Ropeway Entrance Station" near "Yakitori Shishimaru", which opened the "Gyokei-dori Store" in July 2021. A few tables, about 8 counter seats, with USB and AC power outlets at some counter locations. The operation is run by two female staff members, with the TV monitor in the store showing judo from the Tokyo Olympics. Sitting in the corner of the counter alone, I started with a "BEER (medium glass) @ 529". I also ordered "Vinegar Motsu @ 333" which had a good balance of vinegar acidity, although the small dish it was served in was a bit disappointing. I ordered "Chicken thigh, tsukune, liver (all salted)" from the menu, which also includes items like chicken sashimi and chicken rice, giving off a strong Kyushu vibe. The chicken is stated to be delivered directly from "Kagoshima, Miyazaki", and there is a wide variety of shochu available as well. The chicken skewers are served one by one on plates in the order they are cooked. I was offered some yuzu pepper, but I hesitated to use it too much as I didn't want to lose the original taste. Starting with the "Chicken thigh @ 179", it was quite large and juicy, tender, flavorful, and well-cooked, although the price may be a bit high. The "Liver @ 179" was described as "melting" on the menu, but it was overcooked and not very appetizing. The "Tsukune @ 199" was thick and round, with a moist and tender texture, well-seasoned and delicious. After slowly finishing my beer as I had plans to drink more, I was offered tea, which was a thoughtful touch. The total bill came to 1,410 yen. Since it's a convenient location, I would like to visit again for a drink if I have the chance. I hope it becomes a beloved local spot like the main store. Thank you for the meal.
