Today was my first time visiting this standing bar. It was the fourth stop for customers from the bar I usually go to. I ordered chicken hearts and chicken tenderloin with wasabi. The chicken hearts were delicious! And the chicken tenderloin with wasabi was super delicious!! The manager also provided excellent customer service. I thought it was a great restaurant. Thank you for the meal!

Visited around 7 pm on August 23, 2023 (Wednesday). The shop is located just a 1-minute walk from Akabane Iwabuchi Station on the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line, facing the Akabane intersection. Originally, Akabane Iwabuchi Station area was the main village of Akabane. The current Akabane Station used to be on the outskirts of Akabane. Although it is Akabane Iwabuchi Station, it is within a 10-minute walk from Akabane Station. There is a thermos on the storefront, and they also offer take-out for yakitori. If you go up the stairs to the left facing the shop, it leads to a Chinese restaurant on the second floor. Inside, there is a long and narrow kitchen area towards the back, with a counter seating for 4 and two 4-person table seats on the right. There are also seating areas towards the back, with three 4-person table seats. In total, the shop can accommodate 24 people. Prior to my review, the shop had 6 reviews with an average rating of 3.06. There were about 8 customers present, 3 more came later, and a few take-out orders. The shop was run by 3 male staff members. The shop is named Akabane Iwabuchi, and it seems like there is a main branch in Shimo next door. The Chinese restaurant on the second floor also seemed to be affiliated with the shop. As I was dining alone, I was seated at the counter. I ordered a "Chu-hi for 430 yen (tax included)". The Chu-hi was served in a glass, not a mug. They served macaroni salad as a complimentary dish, which was priced at 350 yen (tax included), making me realize I might have chosen the wrong place. Despite the nice atmosphere and the presence of take-out customers, the cost performance was questionable. They did not provide wet towels, but I noticed that they were provided to the customers who came after me. So, I requested a wet towel from the staff. Although I initially thought I didn't need it, the water droplets around the glass started overflowing onto the counter, necessitating the use of a wet towel to clean up. I ordered four skewers of yakitori: "skin for 160 yen (tax included)", "chicken thigh for 190 yen (tax included)", "chicken tenderloin with plum for 190 yen (tax included)", and "tsukune for 240 yen (tax included)". It was convenient that there was no minimum order for skewers. One of the male staff members recommended the "speed menu", so I also ordered "edamame for 300 yen (tax included)". However, the speed menu did not arrive promptly, as expected. After a 10-minute wait, the chicken thigh and chicken tenderloin were served, followed by the edamame after a 2-minute delay. The skin and tsukune arrived 5 minutes later. The skewers were decent but did not offer a sense of value for the price. Given that it is likely a small business, hiring part-time staff may have limitations. If it is a family-run business, they may be able to offer lower prices, but that could mean sacrificing the family's livelihood. I also ordered additional dishes: "negima for 190 yen (tax included)" and "mini tomato bacon for 190 yen (tax included)". They also offer motsunabe, but hot pot in the summer is a bit much. The skewers are grilled similar to the take-out orders. The shop is small, so the grilling area is also small. Therefore, if there are many take-out orders, the food may be served slowly. I had 4 Chu-hi drinks. I felt like I had more, but the receipt showed 4. I was a bit tipsy, so I wasn't sure. The total bill for the day was 3,530 yen. Thank you for the meal.

Located just a minute's walk from Akabane Iwabuchi Station on the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line, at the corner of Kitamoto Street and Akabane intersection, is the izakaya "Toriojou Akabane Iwabuchi Store." I visited for the first time in the early evening in late July. The restaurant, which opened in March this year, has both counter seats and table seats, and is surprisingly spacious. I was seated at the end of the counter. The manager and two staff members were all very friendly and provided excellent service with a smile. I ordered Kirin Ichiban Shibori beer (medium size), Toriwasa, chicken skin, bonjiri, tsukune, and negima from the menu on the table. The beer was served in a glass, which was a bit disappointing for a beer drinker like me, so I switched to a chu-hi. The Toriwasa with wasabi was refreshing and had a good volume, making it a great accompaniment to drinks. The grilled items were all cooked in sauce, but they were cooked to my liking and went well with the drinks. I had two more chu-hi drinks before paying the bill. It was a great experience to be able to drink at this hidden gem of a restaurant with a good atmosphere and close to the station. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I visit this restaurant about once every two weeks! They offer takeout yakitori, so I can buy some on my way home from work. Even if I go with my children earlier in the evening, they are happy to accommodate us. The manager is cheerful, bright, and wonderful! It's a great restaurant with all these good points. Of course, the food is carefully grilled over charcoal and delicious! I always end up eating a lot because it's so tasty! I will continue to visit from time to time, so thank you in advance.

Delicious yakitori with a variety of side dishes. Must try the rare cuts. Located right by Akabane-Iwabuchi Station on the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line. You can also find the restaurant at the Akabane intersection on the Kanpachi Line. The smell of yakitori smoke at the intersection will make you want to stop by or take some home. Takeout is also very popular. Be sure to check out the monthly specials, like this month's chicken skin senbei. The energetic owner will lift your spirits and motivate you. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere and is a great place to be. There's another branch in Shimo nearby where you can also enjoy motsu. The only thing missing is beer served in a mug, but otherwise, it's perfect. A place that you'll find yourself wanting to visit again and again.

The bill came to 4,578 yen.

I visited around 8:00 pm for takeout without any customers. I ordered 4 skewers and waited inside the store for about 15 minutes for them to be grilled. The chicken breast meat was large and tender, and I also got plum topping. The chicken tail was small in size but had a chewy texture that I liked.

In recent years, there has been a rise in popularity of takeout, especially among housewives during the pandemic. I also enjoy getting takeout from this place. They offer a set of 5 skewers (priced at 190 yen or less each) and a choice of one appetizer from 3 options for 1000 yen (tax included). My favorites are the juicy and flavorful negima momo skewers, the well-seasoned and juicy chicken wings, the tasty chicken liver without any unpleasant smell, and the tender and easy-to-eat seseri skewers. It's a convenient option for when you want a small snack. The staff are attentive and quick to assist even if they are not at the counter.
