Opened in February this year, "Hirano" has been receiving nothing but good reviews since its opening. This was my first visit, and I was looking forward to it as Mr. Hirano had previously worked at Seo in Azabu-Juban for 10 years (famous for being frequented by celebrities) and then as head chef at Seo in Tokyo Station Hotel for 8 years. He had visited both establishments numerous times because he liked them so much, so I was very excited to visit this time. I checked the availability on the restaurant's Instagram every day, and finally found a timing that worked for me to visit! The restaurant is located in Higashi-Ginza. It is located on the 1st floor of a building in Ginza Hacchome, the same building as "Ginza Jisaku". The restaurant has a luxurious appearance that stands out in this area, with a beautiful L-shaped white wooden counter that is clean and tidy. There are also private rooms where you can enter without being seen by anyone from the outside. This time, I had the omakase course, paired with a bottle of Tenbu Junmai Daiginjo from Nishizakari Brewery in Kagoshima. The course included: - Peach sesame sauce - Mixed fish salad - Seseri - Daikon with grated radish - Kashiwa momo meat - Liver - Tsukune with perilla - Ginnan - Japanese style bisque with bonito dashi jelly - Sunagimo - Dried aji (sweetfish) - Hatsu (chicken heart) - Small onions - Sori (chicken tail) - Tebasaki (chicken wings) - Soboro rice bowl (you can also choose oyakodon or chicken soba) - Pudding One dish and yakitori are served alternately. The yakitori, starting with the seseri, was juicy and plump, and I couldn't help but exclaim "delicious" in my mind, a very promising start! The yakitori that followed was all perfectly cooked. The liver had no unpleasant smell and was moist and flavorful. My favorite was the "tebasaki" (chicken wings)! It was prepared by cutting along the bone, making it easy to eat. The skin was crispy, and the meat was juicy and tender. Despite being chicken wings, it was elegant and delicious. The one dish dishes served at the perfect timing without disrupting the flow of yakitori were also excellent. Even the pudding at the end was delicious. I like the course structure where one dish is served in between yakitori to enjoy the yakitori until the end without getting tired of it. Just like at Seo, there is also a wide selection of wines available, but this time I preferred sake. Of course, I will definitely be visiting again. I am delighted that a wonderful yakitori restaurant has opened in Ginza~♪,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I have a hobby of eating out, and I mainly post about the Ginza area on my Instagram, which has over 28,000 followers!Instagram: lunchkirakira (Ginza Lunch)https://www.instagram.com/lunchkirakira/?hl=en,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
