This is a great restaurant with a friendly owner who runs the place by themselves! The yakitori is delicious, reasonably priced, and overall a very good restaurant!

I went on a weekday. It takes about 10 minutes on foot from JR Marucho Station. You can tell from the entrance that it's an old-fashioned shop. Inside the shop, there are counter seats, table seats, and tatami seats. Since it was early, there were only a few customers at the counter seats. I also sat at the counter. You can order single skewers of yakitori, which is convenient for drinkers. The tsukune (chicken meatballs) are homemade. I tried negima (chicken and leek skewers), nankotsu (cartilage), hatsu (chicken heart), tebasaki (chicken wings), etc., and both the tare (sauce) and shio (salt) grilled skewers were excellent. The chef's skill shines through. Also, I appreciated the chef's attentiveness.

Sparrow Inn...a shop that is closely connected to the local community...the customers who come here seem to follow the unspoken rules of the shop and blend in to enjoy themselves in their own way...also, the shop owner seems to be good at communicating with the customers in a positive way. In this environment, I am mostly a newcomer who doesn't know the regular customers who visit once or twice a year. This Sparrow Inn...this is how I feel about it. Overall: 4.0, Food/Taste: 4.0, Value for Money: 4.0. The owner, who comes from a certain franchise, seems to operate this shop at a high level. The size of the yakitori is just right, not too small or too big. While chatting with customers, he skillfully grills the yakitori...in such a situation, the skillful grilling must be ingrained in his body...without flattery, you can taste really good yakitori. Have you tried the tsukune? It's a dish where minced chicken is wrapped in gyoza skin, boiled, and served with ponzu and mustard. It's one of my favorite dishes. Well, the food and prices are reflected in the overall score. Service: 3.5, Atmosphere: 3.5. The atmosphere gives off a feeling of a traditional yakitori shop. The interior is not particularly clean...but the smell of the sauce being grilled on charcoal fills the air. In recent times, there are many clean air restaurants, but here, everything from the food to the air makes you feel like you're in a yakitori shop. In the area from Marumachi to Kitano, shops like Sparrow Inn, Ichiban, Toriiro, Shin, Nagata, Torisei, etc., are all thriving, which shows that yakitori has become a staple food in a way. Among them, Sparrow Inn is a shop where you can enjoy authentic yakitori at a low price...the key is how well you can assimilate into this shop...I hope to visit again when I least expect it.

I used to go to this restaurant about once or twice a month, but the frequency decreased after I moved. However, there are times when I really feel like going. Last month, I had that strong urge to go and went with my wife after a long time. It's mostly just the two of us, and it usually costs around 6000 yen. The counter has about 6-7 seats, and it's always packed. There are also 4 table seats and 1 tatami seat. We usually go on weekends, and about 80% of the time, all the seats are taken by regular customers. The restaurant serves traditional yakitori, but the best part is that all the yakitori are made with seseri meat. Therefore, there is no item specifically labeled as "seseri" on the menu. I love seseri, so this affordable and delicious restaurant has become my favorite spot.

I have visited a few times. The food was good, no complaints there. However, the interior of the restaurant is too dirty. If they could just fix that, I would go more often.
