Located near Osaka Tenmangu Shrine, this yakitori restaurant is a great find as it stays open until late. The owner trained in Fukuoka before opening up shop in Osaka. The menu offers a variety of yakitori and sukiyaki, which is quite appealing. We tried the assorted yakitori platter with a few individual items. The grilled chicken thigh was crispy and flavorful. The sashimi was served on a bed of tofu skin. The course started with a simmered meatball. The chicken soup was rich and tasty. The salad was fresh and crunchy. The skewers included chicken thigh, seasoned with salt and wasabi for a nice kick. The juicy zucchini was full of flavor. The gizzard had a crunchy texture and was full of umami. The grilled eggplant was delicious. The quail egg was rich and sweet. The chicken tenderloin had a strong umami flavor. The liver was rich and flavorful. The skin was crispy and fragrant. The chicken wing was juicy and easy to eat. The duck with green onions had a strong and aromatic flavor. We also added eight more items. The cartilage was crunchy and satisfying. The heart was moist and flavorful. The tail had a sweet and fatty taste. The chicken wrapped in green onions was fragrant and delicious. The gizzard was full of umami. The meatball had a nice crunch from the cartilage and was light on the palate. The chicken thigh was flavorful with a great balance of fat. The neck meat had a sweet and savory taste that intensified with each bite. Next time, we definitely want to try their famous minced chicken rice bowl.

A shop located in a quiet residential area a short walk from the station. It's the kind of place where you feel like popping in, but I wonder if reservations are necessary. There are about 8 seats at the counter, perfect for when you want to enjoy some delicious food with friends or your significant other. The friendly owner will kindly explain the dishes and ingredients without any reservation. It's a great casual place to visit without feeling intimidated. The owner originally trained at a sukiyaki restaurant, so the quality of the chicken is superb. Although it's a yakitori restaurant, I highly recommend trying the sukiyaki meat as well. They not only focus on the quality of the meat but also on the vegetables, and the prices are reasonable. You can also adjust the portion size, so it's definitely a place worth revisiting.

Located behind Osaka Tenmangu Shrine from Minamimori-cho, this renowned restaurant offers a calm atmosphere with 8 counter seats. They offer private reservations for groups of 4 for their hotpot and yakitori course. The head chef, who trained at Orenji in Fukuoka, serves dishes of incredible quality. The soup allows for three different experiences as you add ingredients, with a rich broth that warms the body. The quality of the skewers is truly impressive, as evident upon sight. The crispy skin of the tataki and the generous portion of liver pate are highlights, with the liver being a must-try. The meal concludes with noodles and a delicious porridge with green onions and soy sauce. The chef's personality is also wonderful. Thank you for the feast!

The yakitori here is delicious, with attention to detail in how each part is cut and skewered. The a la carte dishes are also tasty. It's great that they adjust additional orders based on how full you are. The selection of shochu, sake, and wine is excellent. The special hojicha highball is so good you could drink many. And it's very reasonably priced.

At the beginning of the week, two of us visited a yakitori restaurant for the first time. It is located on a street south of Osaka Tenmangu Shrine, a little east of the main gate, with only counter seats. When I arrived at the front of the restaurant, I had a feeling of déjà vu and realized that I had been here before. I checked my review on Tabelog, but couldn't find it. I was a bit nervous because I thought this might be a no-photo restaurant. However, I remembered that I had written a review for the previous restaurant "Iemon," which was here before this one opened, about four years ago. This time, we ordered the Mune Yudofu with Raw Yuba Topping and the Omakase course with ten items (including salad and chicken soup) for 3500 yen, plus an additional two skewers of liver pate. The course included chicken soup, simmered chicken meatball, cabbage salad, chicken tenderloin with wasabi, ginkgo nut, tail meat, Saint-Guardian turnip, quail egg, sweet potato, gizzard, scallion roll, liver, thigh meat, chicken cartilage, and liver pate. We enjoyed the carefully grilled dishes over the course of about two hours. The two staff members at the restaurant were friendly, and we thoroughly enjoyed the delicious yakitori and other dishes. They even cut the liver pate in half for us. I had a few Premium Malt's draft beers for 650 yen each, while my companion had a Yamato Sakura (red sweet potato) soda for 650 yen, and we finished with a Flamingo Orange soda mix. I was pleasantly surprised to find the rare Flamingo Orange available, even though it wasn't on the menu. I wonder if they still have it in stock now...

OPEN is my favorite restaurant that I have been going to since it first opened. The food is incredibly delicious! They also have a great selection of rare sweet potato shochu. The cooking is done perfectly! The owner is very friendly and kind. The food is so delicious that when I visited Fukuoka, I made sure to stop by another restaurant owned by the same owner. Their water stew, homemade mentaiko (spicy cod roe), and homemade yuzu pepper are all excellent. You can even order online, and I have sent them as gifts to show my appreciation to people who have helped me, and they were very happy with it.

I was recommended this delicious steak restaurant in Fukuoka. The exterior exudes an aura of serving delicious yakitori. Inside, there are 8 counter seats in a cozy yet not cramped space. The menu includes a 10-piece course, two types of sukiyaki meat, chicken sashimi with yuba, chicken soba, draft beer (fragrant ale), Yamato cherry blossom soda, and highball. The master, who trained at a famous Fukuoka restaurant, not only excels in yakitori flavor but also provides refreshing customer service. The yakitori and vegetables served were delicious, with the seseri, kashiwa, and tsunagi being particularly outstanding. The large okra and brown mushrooms exceeded expectations in taste. The master's grilling technique brings out the deliciousness of chicken and vegetables to the fullest. "It was delicious. I had a great time. I want to come back soon." These were the honest thoughts right after leaving the restaurant. Overall, it is a highly satisfying and wonderful yakitori restaurant.

Bird sashimi with yuba, simmered tsukune, chicken skewers, gizzard, quail eggs, myoga miso grilled eggplant, seseri, liver, negima, momo tare grilled, soboro rice bowl, chicken soba... This day started with an invitation from Nabe-san (@nabenabe7) for the first time, "Toriyasu". The bird sashimi with yuba was amazing, and the grilled chicken was delicious. Couldn't decide between noodles and rice bowl for the finale, so ordered both. Tried all the sake menu items and ended up feeling a bit tipsy. When is the next meeting in Kitasen?

I was curious about Toriyasu's yakitori, so I visited the restaurant. I opted for the chef's choice course, and every skewer was meticulously prepared and delicious. The staff recommended a shochu not on the menu, which was also very tasty. This is a recommended spot for leisurely enjoying delicious yakitori. Thank you for the meal!

A few minutes walk from Osaka Tenmangu Shrine on the east side, there was a popular yakitori restaurant that caught my attention. The restaurant only had a counter and was often full, even when passing by. "Is there a seat available today?" was a common question, but it was hard to get in. This made me think that the food must be delicious. The restaurant is called Toriyasu. They mainly serve a set of 7 skewers of yakitori, along with dishes like chicken sashimi, tsukune (chicken meatballs), cabbage, and pickles. The chicken sashimi was tender, the okra skewer had a nice texture, and the duck with green onions was juicy. I also tried the heart and a minced chicken skewer without any fillers. The meal was finished with a well-balanced oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl). I had a few glasses of wine, and the total cost for one person was around 7,000 yen. The owner, who is from Osaka and trained in Fukuoka, also serves delicious sukiyaki. It's recommended for groups of 4 or more. There were many solo diners and foodies enjoying their meal. I will definitely visit again.

During my last trip to Fukuoka, I visited a recommended restaurant in Osaka. They offer a yakitori course for groups of 4 or more, along with a sukiyaki option. We started with draft beer, then ordered 2 bottles of champagne, 1 bottle of white wine, and 1 bottle of red wine. The friendly owner made our experience enjoyable. Thank you for the delicious meal!

This popular restaurant has been a hit since it opened. I was lucky to secure a table this time, so I visited for the first time. The head chef is young and cheerful, and although I won't go into detail about his background as it has been well covered, I will say that he is very talented. I started off by ordering the chef's selection of 7 skewers, and after taking the first sip of the soup, I knew this place was top-notch. I quickly ordered champagne after my beer, and the skewers that followed were delicious. I ended up ordering quite a few more. The skewers were perfectly grilled with a strong salty flavor, so if you prefer rare meat, it may not be to your liking. Personally, I enjoy my skewers slightly charred from the charcoal grill, so I found them to be very delicious. The side dishes like the liver pate and potato salad were also seasoned wonderfully. Although not listed on the menu, there were various absinthe and craft gin options available, and I enjoyed learning about the differences from the chef. I finished with the chicken soba, which was also outstanding. Everything was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

A quiet area near Temmangu Shrine. An elegant yakitori restaurant with only 8 counter seats for adults. Start with a few skewers chosen by the chef. The yakitori is cooked rare overall, with a mild seasoning of sauce and salt. I feel like I want a stronger flavor to go with my beer, but I guess this place is different from that type of yakitori restaurant. The chicken soba at the end was comforting and especially delicious. They have a good selection of wine and about 4 types of sake available.

I came here to eat yakitori this time! I heard that the owner trained at a famous sukiyaki restaurant in Hakata. I ordered the omakase course and added momo tataki and mune sashimi. The grilled dishes are coming out at a good pace. The owner is a friendly person and makes the meal enjoyable. After finishing the skewers, I ordered a single serving of sukiyaki. The wings and breasts were cooked to perfection, so tender and flavorful! The sake is also delicious, and they have great shochu too. I'll make a reservation for sukiyaki next time!

The restaurant is located in Amami! The head chef trained at the famous Mizuki water-cooked restaurant in Hakata, and you can enjoy this water-cooked dish at private parties. I was really curious about it, but finally had the chance to visit for the first time this time! Under the current state of emergency, they are operating with a limit of 2 groups per day, and you can enjoy a course of water-cooked dish and grilled chicken, which was previously only available at private parties! First, we started with the water-cooked soup, and throughout the course, you can enjoy three levels of soup: one with meatballs, one with vegetables, and the original soup. Each one was seasoned differently, and it was interesting to see how the flavor gradually intensified! The grilled chicken was cooked to perfection and the taste was amazing too! The liver was also incredibly delicious!

The timing of the hot pot and yakitori course is interesting and delicious! The chicken wings and bones in the hot pot are amazing! The alternating serving of the tsukune in the hot pot is so good! The wasabi on the skewers is soft and tasty! The grilled turnip is sweet and delicious, and the quail is also tasty! The zucchini and chicken tenderloin are good too! When I mentioned that I don't like liver, they made me a mentaiko butter bread instead, which was great! The chicken thigh meat is delicious, and the ramen is good too. Overall, everything is delicious and the atmosphere is cozy thanks to the friendly manager.

Visited Toriyasu at Osaka Tenmangu Shrine! I had heard from others that this place is a hidden gem and incredibly delicious, so I was curious to check it out. Located a little east of Minami-Morimachi down a quiet alley, Toriyasu is a small but impressive restaurant with a charming gate. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by the master with a big smile! We opted for the yakitori and sukiyaki course. The master, who trained in Hakata for 10 years, served us with just the right amount of effort, creating a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience. The grilling technique was excellent, resulting in crispy outside and juicy inside, and the seasoning was perfect. Nowadays, many restaurants have very straightforward flavors, but Toriyasu was different. The first dish, chicken breast, was a standout - the taste of the ingredient shone through! Although the drink selection was limited, the choices were carefully curated and satisfying. I tried the Hiroki cloudy sake. Overall, it was a cozy atmosphere and I definitely want to visit again! Thank you for the wonderful meal♪

#Time difference posting and memorandum of a private party ~~~~ Located a 4-minute walk from Osaka Tenmangu Station, in a calm neighborhood, a restaurant specializing in Hakata-style Mizutaki (chicken hot pot) and Yakitori (grilled chicken) called Tori Yasu. The restaurant has only 8 counter seats, creating a cozy atmosphere that is perfect for a casual visit after work or for those looking for a challenging reservation. The owner is young, refreshing, and very friendly, making the place very comfortable. 【Today's private party course】Starting from 7000 yen including tax - Yakitori x Mizutaki - Only the notable menu items are listed below, with all items shown in photos. The highlight was the changing flavors of the soup during the Mizutaki, and the finale of Yakitori meatball rice porridge followed by ramen. The liver pate also left a strong impression. The Yakitori dishes were well grilled. The owner is very enthusiastic about learning, so the future evolution of the restaurant is something to look forward to. For those who have not experienced it yet, I highly recommend giving it a try! Since the seating is limited, it is advisable to make a reservation before visiting. Thank you for reading until the end. Looking forward to your next post. Tori Yasu 06-6926-4343 4-12-15 Tenjin, Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka

Near Osaka Tenmangu Shrine, there is a small restaurant called "Toriyasu" that opened in March 2020. With only 8 counter seats, they use Tosa Binchotan charcoal to carefully grill fresh young chicken and Ise Akadori chicken. The young chef, who trained for 7 years at Hakata's "Yakitori Toritsugi" and "Tou", grills the chicken with a slightly firm touch. The yakitori here leans towards sauce-based and slightly firmer grilling, which may vary from personal preferences, but the balance of flavor and price is just right. I rated the taste 3.9 points with an additional 0.1 points for repeat visits, totaling 4.0 points. I plan to keep an eye on their progress as I visit regularly. The owner mentioned that they had a tough time with the initial closure due to the COVID-19 situation. Knowing the hardships they faced, I admire their determination to keep going steadily. It's easy to stop by for reasonably priced yakitori, and I look forward to revisiting. They also offer a course where you can enjoy both yakitori and sukiyaki if you book a private room. The bill came to 6,100 yen. Thank you for the meal.

The chef, who honed his skills at the famous Mizutaki restaurant "Daidai" in Fukuoka, opened this new restaurant! This time, I enjoyed a course where you can savor both the simmered and grilled dishes in a private room setting. When I visited "Daidai" in Fukuoka about two years ago, I honestly didn't understand the deliciousness of their Mizutaki dish very much... But this time, I was really impressed! The rich flavor of the chicken broth was so good. And then the grilled dishes! The pace at which the grilled and simmered dishes were served alternately made the course doubly delicious. And finally, the finishing touch of a rice porridge! I thought this was the culmination of the Mizutaki experience. The flavor of the chicken and the sweetness of the vegetables melted into the broth, changing the taste as you ate more! It was so soothing. I definitely want to visit this restaurant regularly. I might even go back to the restaurant in Fukuoka again (laughs). Thank you for the meal.
