I recently visited a new yakitori restaurant that I had been neglecting! I went to "Yakitori Kawashima" in Azabu-Juban, which was selected as one of the top 100 yakitori restaurants in 2022. The chef seemed to be from "Tohgyoku" in Kagurazaka. I made a reservation through a booking site and visited on Wednesday at 5:30 pm. The restaurant is located in Azabu-Juban, about a 5-minute walk from the Namboku Line or a 10-minute walk from the Oedo Line. I started with a Sapporo Black Label 633 to cleanse my palate. I ordered the omakase course, and here are the dishes I had that day: grated lily root, assorted sashimi (chicken breast tataki, Nagoya Cochin chicken liver, heart), grated daikon (palate cleanser), black iwatodori chicken breast, black iwatodori chicken testicles, apios, liver pate, chicken lantern, soft chicken gizzard, lotus root, ginger-wrapped pork belly, boiled snow urui, tsukune, brown mushroom, tsunagi (heart and liver), grilled cheese with Tsugaru jewels (mini tomatoes), black iwatodori chicken thigh meat, Nagoya Cochin chicken wings, oyakodon (finale), chicken soup, homemade vanilla ice cream. The restaurant offers a variety of delicious local chicken dishes, with a focus on black iwatodori chicken. The vegetables were particularly delicious, such as snow urui and brown mushrooms. The tsunagi, liver pate, and assorted sashimi were also outstanding. I enjoyed lemon sour and Japanese sake for drinks, including Akishika Meiyō Junmai Ginjo Nigori Nama Genshu (Osaka), Suiyagura Muroka 1 Fire Junmai Sake (Iwate), and Jyutokuhi Junmai Namazake (Shimane). It was another great meal with delicious sake and dishes. Thank you for the meal! I will definitely visit again.
