I finally got to visit a restaurant near Kanda where you can eat delicious yakitori! I had been wanting to go there for a while and I finally made it. I went with three friends and they all said it was delicious (I was relieved since I chose the restaurant haha). We went for the shiroreba, but other dishes were also delicious, like the hatsu and toro horumon which were both tender and tasty. The yakitori was cooked perfectly. And surprisingly, even the ramen at the end was delicious. I will definitely go back. (It's crowded so reservations are a must)

Visited for dinner on a regular day. Ordered cabbage, yakitori, oyakodon, etc. The yakitori was around 180 yen per skewer, which is very cheap, but the taste was quite good. Especially the white liver was delicious. The oyakodon was also tasty. It cost around 4,500 yen for two people, so I think it was quite cost-effective.

I always order potato fries twice and this time I ordered a large size! I initially ordered a regular size but ended up getting a large size as a refill. It's a bit backwards, but... Today I stayed longer and ordered two bottles, so it ended up being expensive, but this restaurant is usually cost-effective!

I have a separate office in Kanda Jimbocho, so I pass by Wakadoriya quite frequently, but it's always full. I made a reservation and visited at a different time. Wow, everything is so cheap. And delicious too! I now understand why it's always crowded with salarymen. Even though it's always full, the staff is amazing at providing service and attention, so everything runs smoothly. I was seated near the restroom, so other than having a drunk person who couldn't walk straight at the table next to me, I was very satisfied.

Thank you for always taking care of us. The specialty here is the white liver (salt). Even for someone like me who doesn't like liver, I can eat it here. Recommended items are quail, white liver, and tsukune with egg. It's best to eat the quail and white liver while they are hot. The round glasses-wearing staff member grills the yakitori so deliciously, so it's worth timing your visit for that. It's also recommended to enjoy cucumber salad and takupote while waiting for the yakitori to be served.

It is located in a somewhat remote place. However, the taste is undeniably delicious. The flavor of the white liver is so amazing, it's astonishing. They seem to pride themselves on using freshly ground ingredients in the morning, but to think it's from AP Company. It's not a high-end establishment, but to offer this taste at this price is impressive. There are many things that high-end yakitori restaurants could learn from them, I think as an amateur. The yakitori, vegetables, and ramen all deliver outstanding performance. I take my hat off to AP Company for their fantastic business model. I imagine their rating on Tabelog will go up soon, and it will become difficult to make a reservation, but I couldn't help but write this. I will definitely go back!

Wakadoriya is located next to the Tsukimachi police box along Sotobori Street. The back of the building faces Kanda Children's Park. It is a casual yakitori restaurant operated by A.P. Company, known for its Tsukada Farm. While Tsukada Farm uses local chicken, Wakadoriya uses softer meat suitable for yakitori to achieve lower prices. Wakadoriya has two locations, including this one and one in Temma, Osaka. They also operate one yakitori stand and four Yakitori Standard locations. Despite not being in an ideal location for an izakaya, the restaurant is always bustling with nearby office workers. I visited around 9 pm. Upon entering, they checked my temperature and provided hand sanitizer. There were four staff members working. The restaurant had about 11 tables, with more than half occupied. I ordered the Kan Kan (280 yen + tax), a chilled chu-hi, and the Wakadoriya set (580 yen + tax) with 5 skewers. Since there was no appetizer, I ordered the macaroni salad (190 yen + tax) as a snack while waiting for my skewers. The macaroni salad had a loose mayo dressing with cucumber, carrot, corn, and tuna. The skewers came out in the order of heart, skin, gizzard, neck, and thigh. All the skewers were tender and easy to eat, especially the thigh which had a nice bounce to it. I enjoyed my meal in the lively atmosphere, listening to the conversations of the groups around me. The total bill came to 1,155 yen. The restaurant is non-smoking, so people take turns smoking outside without being scolded by the nearby police officers, indicating it is legal.

It's the second stop on Friday, the 27th, the last day of work. I happened to see something interesting from the seat at "Craft Beer Market Awajicho" so I decided to check it out. The restaurant had a rating of 3.07 on Tabelog from 4 reviews in December 2019, which is a bit low, but the reviewers seemed to have positive feedback. I spent a total of 4,796 yen on the following items: - White Kankan MEGA 530 yen - Lemon Kankan 350 yen - 1 Horsepower Sour 350 yen - Draft Beer 380 yen - Chicken Liver with Ponzu Sauce 390 yen - White Liver (Salt) 180 x 2 360 yen - Negima (Sauce) 150 x 2 300 yen - Chicken Thigh (Salt) 300 x 2 600 yen - Chicken Breast (Salt) 250 x 2 500 yen - Tsukune (Sauce) 150 x 2 300 yen Here are my thoughts on the items I ordered: - Lemon Kankan: The presentation in the copper cup was nice, but it lacked lemon flavor and was too sweet. - Draft Beer: The foam was lacking, possibly due to server maintenance or glass cleaning issues. - Chicken Liver with Ponzu Sauce: Disappointing, the liver was too soft. - White Liver (Salt): Perfectly seared with a nice char on the outside and rare inside. - Negima (Sauce): Nicely cooked with a good texture. - Chicken Thigh (Salt): Tasty but a bit pricey for the portion size. - Chicken Breast (Salt): Well-cooked with a good balance of flavors. - Tsukune (Sauce): Could have used more crunch from cartilage. Overall, the restaurant had some downsides like the poor quality of the chicken liver dish and drinks not matching the food quality. However, the service from the staff and the skills of the chef were impressive. The prices for the chicken dishes seemed a bit high, but the overall cost-performance ratio was good.

I went for a drink alone. After visiting a pizzeria in Horidome-cho with my wife for the first time in a year, which was very delicious but left me a bit unsatisfied in terms of drinks, I decided to make a detour alone. My wife said she was full and headed home quickly. This is where the difference in health check results will be seen, for sure (laughs). So, I walked from Otemachi towards Awajicho, and I noticed a sign along Sotobori Street that read "Specializing in Chicken Meat." I thought I might as well have some grilled chicken and a drink. It's rare to find restaurants open late in this area, so it's quite convenient. It's quite unusual to have an izakaya like this here. It faces Sotobori Street, so it must be a temporary land use until development. The interior of the restaurant is surprisingly spacious and open. There are many tables lined up. Near the entrance, there is a group of European people having a lively time. It looks fun. Drinking alcohol abroad, except in Islamic countries where it is prohibited, increases the chances of interacting with locals, enjoying delicious food, and most importantly, helps to relax and unwind a bit. It's really enjoyable. Please enjoy Japan to the fullest. So, as I was drinking alone, I started with a casual highball. Same as always. I ordered some shrimp chips, something my wife would probably frown upon, to go along with the highball, and it tasted really good (laughs). It's fun. Oh, they have ham cutlets. I'll order that too. It's not bad to think about various things while drinking alone. For the grilled chicken, there is a variety to choose from, but since I wasn't hungry, I chose the carefully selected skewers. I always have to try the liver as it tells you about the quality of the chicken at that restaurant. I also tried the green onion in between and the thigh. The chef, who was diligently grilling on the back grill, brought them to me himself. It feels more delicious when the chef brings it to you rather than the waitstaff. It's a bit nice. The liver was seasoned with salt. It was fresh, firm, and perfectly cooked. It was delicious. The green onion in between and thigh were both nicely grilled. As expected from a restaurant specializing in chicken meat. These were delicious too. Next, I decided to try some offal. I tried the gizzard and heart, both in sauce. The gizzard is a combination of the oviduct, ovary, and kinkan grilled together, but here it was eggs and breast meat skewered and grilled. It may not be the typical gizzard, but it was tasty. The heart was small, flavorful with a strong sauce, but the meat itself was not as flavorful. I had three highballs and felt satisfied. I got rid of the feeling of not having enough to drink. I wonder if my wife was drinking alone at home when I returned (laughs). Thank you for the meal!

This week, I had yakitori at Wakadoriya again. The seasoning and grilling were perfect as always. The yakitori was delicious and went well with the drinks.

After a long time, I visited a yakitori restaurant and enjoyed delicious dishes like white liver, quail eggs, and hatsumoto with lemon sour. It was so tasty, and the alcohol went down smoothly. I am completely satisfied! ✌️

Today, I had dinner at home again! There was also a new type of French fries available!

I finally made it here after a while, and as always, the high-quality yakitori was delicious. The ramen at the end was also excellent. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I had just one drink as a snack before heading to the next restaurant I had booked. I tried white liver, beef, and pork hormone. The liver was cooked medium rare and quite delicious, and the hormone was also tasty with a good amount of fat.

It's cheap, delicious, and has great cost performance! The staff are also friendly and welcoming, so I go there a few times a month.

The skewers are especially delicious! The pork belly and skin are also great! The staff's service is good too! The uniform looks like a jumpsuit? They are bright, cheerful, polite, and seem to be having fun. I visited the restaurant twice on Friday nights. I was able to enter smoothly at a good timing, but there were quite a lot of customers. I will go again!

It was delicious and I liked the lively atmosphere. Grilled chicken skewers are always a good choice.
