"2014.07 New Review & 6 Photos" Bird lovers, of course, also love yakitori! If you want to enjoy yakitori reasonably, Ichiban or Daikichi is the best. This time, I visited the Ichiban chain's Senbonji No Uchi branch. When you enter the store from the Senbon side, it opens directly to the counter. From this direction, the front of Senbon is narrow (about 1.5 meters), so there is not much depth. Customers sit at the counter, and there is a kitchen. It's a scale that makes you want to say it's cramped. ^^; This is a pattern that is often seen in Ichiban. Well, the proximity to the owner may be a good distance if you become friends, but since the shop is run by two people, there is no room to talk, so it seems difficult to get close to newcomers or first-time visitors. Now, the yakitori... even within the Ichiban group, the grilling of yakitori is not at the top, is it? Looking at the photos of the finished grilling again makes you want to eat it! The size of the liver is not to be missed, and the fact that it does not shrink too much when grilled is good. The salt also crystallizes on the surface, which is good, and with this grilling, you can feel the sweetness and umami of the salt, which is good. The chicken skin is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside! This texture is the best~^^ The grilling of yakitori is really good here! But you know, the time it takes to grill is a bit of a drawback. It's okay to say that they are grilling it carefully, but it seems like it could be grilled a little faster... In fact, I ended up drinking shochu highballs and sweet potato rocks while waiting for my yakitori to finish grilling. Not only my yakitori, but all yakitori takes a long time to grill... Regular customers must be used to this time. They are chatting with friends or playing with their smartphones... they seem to be able to pass the time well. The Senbonji No Uchi branch, where you can enjoy yakitori with a close distance and good grilling, seems to be quite good if you can become a regular. If I can pass the time well, I would like to have this well-grilled yakitori, but it seems to take a little time to become a regular... Well, Ichiban chain with its unique personality for each store. I think it's fun to find the stores that suit you. My rating from the visit in April 2014. (There was no rating for the store at the time of the visit.) Overall: 3.2 Food & Taste: 3.7 Service: 3.0 Ambiance: 3.0 Value for Money: 3.5 Drinks: 3.0
