Next to Omotesando and Shimizu-yu, there is a chicken cuisine restaurant. The dimly lit alley has faint white lanterns, lush greenery, and a design reminiscent of an old folk house. The grilled chicken is juicy and delicious, with a shiny, fatty, and succulent texture. There is a wide variety of vegetables, allowing you to fully enjoy the grilled chicken. They use Tokyo jidori chicken, which I always associated with Kyushu, but apparently, it is famous in Tokyo as well. According to the restaurant, it is juicy, flavorful, and has low fat content, leaving a refreshing taste without a greasy aftertaste. You can eat as many skewers as you want. In addition to grilled chicken, there is a rich selection of side dishes. One of the highlights was the Jidori Bakudan Natto Temaki for 1,000 yen. It consists of chicken tenderloin, natto, okra, nagaimo, myoga, and egg wrapped in seaweed. It is a delight for those who enjoy sticky textures. It is well-seasoned, and when wrapped in long and narrow seaweed, it is just right for a bite-sized treat. The fried chicken was also juicy and delicious, and there are other non-chicken menu items such as chanja and potato salad. The interior retains the atmosphere of an old folk house, with shiny black tables and floors that exude a deep sense of character. The tables are spacious, with a cover in the center that makes it look like a hearth? It has a slightly smoky smell, but rather than a typical yakitori restaurant, it has a slightly stylish old folk house-style chicken izakaya vibe. I arrived around 8 pm on a weekday after calling in advance. The sign at the storefront said "Close," so maybe they only accept reservations? It was about 80% full, so it might be a good idea to check before going. It's a casual izakaya that is perfect for going with friends or colleagues.
