Opened in March 2023, Thunder's 3rd store is located in the Sanjo shopping district, about a 10-minute walk from Hankyu Omiya Station. Each store has the same menu, but also offers original dishes. The favorites seem to be the chicken cheese rolls, asparagus, and pork belly tomato cheese. The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. It's best to call ahead as the stores are often crowded. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

I went to eat there for the first time. The yakitori was all delicious and I enjoyed it. The liver and heart were particularly tasty and I want to eat them again. I also tried the grilled rice balls, which were also delicious. The prices are relatively reasonable, so you can go without feeling pressured, which is good.

When it comes to yakitori restaurants in Kyoto, there's nothing like Rai. I recently visited their new location and everything I tried was delicious. The perfect grilling with a great salt flavor! The secret sauce yakitori is also amazing as always! Be careful not to overeat the famous mayonnaise sauce at Rai!

This is a new branch of a popular restaurant in Sanjo Shopping Street. The main branch is always crowded, so I was happy to see a sister store open up. It's best to make a reservation for an early visit, but you can walk in later in the day. They are open until 2 am, which is convenient for a second or third stop. The taste and menu are the same as the main branch, so you can visit with confidence.

A popular yakitori restaurant in Rinsyo, which is a sister shop. It seems to be run by the nephew. We ordered liver for 280 yen, heart for 330 yen, sunagimo skewer (Hinata chicken) for 400 yen, local chicken thigh skewer for 400 yen, skin for 280 yen, triangle (bonjiri) for 330 yen, tsukune for 330 yen, local chicken wings for 350-450 yen, changa for 350 yen, sagari (chicken skirt) for 400 yen. The menu recommended by Thunder Ichio is delicious. The others are just average. The location of the restaurant seems to attract more families and local ladies rather than salarymen.

I visited the newly opened restaurant! There are 3 seats with a counter and 4-person tables. The tables feel a bit low when you sit down. There are no appetizers. It's a bit small, but it has a good taste. The highball is on the lighter side. They bring the next drink after you finish your glass. A young man is working hard at grilling!
