Today's opening! @yakitori.matsuoka located between Tanigoku 6 and Tanigoku 9 (Uehonmachi). The seating is in an L-shaped counter. You can watch the chef grilling right in front of you (*^^*) ● Chicken Course Omakase / 8800 Only course meals are available, with two sessions starting at 18:00 and 20:30. The dishes we had this time were: - Black Satsuma Chicken <Kuroo> and Pai Water Chicken Soup - Grilled Romaine Lettuce Salad - Black Satsuma Chicken <Kuroo> Tataki - Grilled Chicken Heart - Grilled Chicken Breast - Grilled Chicken with Grated Radish - Grilled Chicken with Lotus Root - Grilled Chicken Wings - Chicken Liver - Grilled Chicken with Cheese - Grilled Chicken Gizzard - Grilled Shiitake Mushrooms and Snap Peas - Fried Baby Cabbage - Kirishima Royal Pork Samgyeopsal - Grilled Chicken with Green Onions - Chicken Broth Egg Rice and Pickles - Strawberry and Homemade Ice Cream The meal starts with the chicken soup, which was just the right amount of salty and really settled the stomach, making room for more food and drinks (lol). All the grilled chicken skewers were made with black Satsuma chicken <Kuroo>, and they were all delicious, but the chicken heart and gizzard were especially tasty! They also put a lot of effort into the vegetables, and the lotus root and baby cabbage were all delicious. The Royal Pork Samgyeopsal was a unique and interesting dish that you don't find at other yakitori restaurants. To finish off, we had Chicken Broth Egg Rice and Chicken Soup, ending the meal with a chicken-themed feast (ﾟ∀ﾟ)! The menu is constantly evolving, and the chef mentioned that they want to try various things little by little. It's an exciting place to look forward to in the future. Reservations can be made through the table check site in the Instagram account's profile section. For reservations of 5 or more people, please call 050-3145-2810. For same-day reservations, please call 080-9747-2200.

The variety of dishes is quite extensive, with different flavors and genres, making it surprisingly easy to eat. It's a shame that you can only choose from two reservation times because it limits the number of people you can invite. The selection of Japanese sake is very good, and they serve it to complement the dishes, making the meal even more delicious. There were many varieties, with a focus on Juyondai. I would like to visit again soon when I feel like having yakitori and sake.

Visit date: 18:00 on a weekday Wait time: Reservation Menu: Chef's choice + drink I visited a recommended restaurant in Tokyo by Mr. Shinojima, who trained together with the owner. It is a yakitori restaurant, but unlike other places, there were more individual yakitori dishes rather than skewers. Some were rare, while others were cooked thoroughly, with each ingredient cooked to perfection. It was delicious yakitori. Thank you for the meal.

Quietly standing in a tranquil residential area, the aura of a renowned restaurant is already evident. Upon opening the door, you are greeted with a stylish and luxurious space featuring an L-shaped counter. I visited a yakitori restaurant that caught my attention, which opened just this February. The chicken used here is the flavorful and chewy Kuro Satsuma chicken "Kuro-Oh," with a focus on even the rare parts. Only course meals are available here, with the option for additional orders. - Chicken Soup: Bursting with flavor. - Grilled Romaine Lettuce Salad: Charcoal-grilled lettuce with enoki mushrooms, herbs, and cheese. - Breast and Thigh Tataki: Delicious tataki with a peppery salt and smoked soy sauce. - Seseri (Chicken Neck): Overflowing with flavor. - Shin (Chicken Leg): Strong flavor with a firm texture. - Boiled Chicken Breast: Tender and juicy. - Corn: Crisp texture and sweet flavor. - Dakimi (Chicken Thigh): Crispy skin and juicy meat. - Roasted Onion Bruschetta: Garlic-scented bread with roasted onions and chicken breast. - Soriresu (Chicken Tail): Irresistible crispy skin and juicy meat. - Liver Stew: Smooth texture with a rich flavor. - Chicken Wings: Easy-to-eat cuts, incredibly delicious. - Chicken Breast Cutlet: Amazing texture and flavor. - Radish Pickles: Refreshing palate cleanser. - Sudachi (Citrus) Cold Noodles: Refreshing and perfect for the season. - Hatsu Pudding (Heart Pudding): Smooth and good texture. - Kuro Goma (Black Sesame) Condensed Milk Monaka: Homemade dessert with excellent quality. - Charcoal-Grilled Kagoshima Royal Pork Samgyeopsal: Unique and delicious. - Negi-Mi (Chicken Thigh with Leek): Beautiful presentation and delicious. - Zuri Ennagawa (Chicken Gizzard): Unique texture that becomes addictive. - Harami (Chicken Rib Meat): Sinfully delicious. - Chicken Skin: Sweet and flavorful. - Chicken Ramen: Amazing soup and noodles. - Black Sesame Condensed Milk Monaka: Delicious dessert to end the meal. The portion sizes for the yakitori are on the smaller side, but with such a variety of high-quality dishes, the 8800 yen course is a great deal. The owner is friendly and provides attentive service, making the two hours fly by. This restaurant is sure to become popular in no time, so be sure to visit before it gets too crowded. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Reservation from around 8 pm, starting at the same time as two other groups. The luxurious interior, which I'm not used to, impressed me. The staff and owner were friendly, so it didn't feel formal. The owner cooking in front of us added a live feel. Each dish was carefully prepared and explained, and time flew by. I used it for a special occasion and was very satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

I found a new yakitori restaurant in Ue Honmachi on Instagram, so I made a reservation and visited. The entrance and interior gave off a high-end vibe, but the master warmly welcomed me and I immediately felt relaxed. I ordered the chicken course for 8800 yen, which included a variety of dishes such as black sweet potato soup, grilled romaine lettuce salad, chicken sashimi, assorted yakitori skewers, zucchini, chicken liver, black abalone mushroom, Kagoshima royal pork samgyeopsal, chicken breast cutlet, quail, clay pot rice, and dessert. The salad was my favorite, with the smoky flavor of grilled romaine lettuce and delicious Caesar salad-like dressing. The chicken sashimi had a subtle sweetness from the fat of the meat, and the yakitori skewers had a firm texture with a unique flavor from the "Black King" chicken. The chicken breast cutlet was tenderized with koji and served with a blend of fish sauce, lime, and yuzu pepper. The clay pot rice with chicken and mushrooms was so good that I wanted more, but I had to stop at four servings. Overall, the flavors were a bit strong, but it paired well with alcohol. I look forward to seeing how this restaurant evolves as I continue to visit.

I made a reservation through TableCheck for a new yakitori restaurant and visited! The dinner started at 6:00 pm with a course menu only. The restaurant is run by a husband and wife. They offered a variety of wines and fresh sake, which were delicious. The course menu changes monthly, so the owner informed us to come back next month.

Yakitori Matsuoka - Tanigoku 6, Tanigoku 9 - This yakitori restaurant opened in February this year and uses carefully selected Kagoshima Jidori chicken, which is indeed delicious. They offer an 8800 yen course with a variety of tasty Japanese sake. You can also order additional skewers. The manager and his wife are both friendly and nice people. #YakitoriMatsuoka #Tanigoku6Gourmet #Tanigoku9Gourmet #Yakitori #GrilledChicken #NewlyOpened #OsakaGourmet #KagoshimaJidoriChicken #FamilyOwnedBusiness

Opened on February 18, 2023, Yaki Tori Matsoka in Tanimachi Kyuchome. I had been wondering what kind of shop it would be every time I passed by, and confirmed on SNS that it is a yakitori restaurant, so I made a reservation before the opening and visited. You can make a reservation through Instagram for table checks. There are 8 counter seats, but it seems that they will operate with a maximum of 6 people, and you can also use it for private parties starting from 6 people, so it seems like it will be useful for exclusive entertaining. The location is within walking distance from Tanimachi Kyuchome, Uehommachi, and Rokuchome. This area is generally known for having high-quality restaurants, but surprisingly, there are no high-end yakitori restaurants categorized in this area. In that sense, as someone who frequents the restaurants in this area, it feels quite innovative. Of course, the owner seems to have been well aware of this before opening the shop. The owner, Mr. Matsuoka, is a mid-30s baseball player with a strong physique and handsome looks. Originally from Himeji, he has gained experience in various restaurants both domestically and internationally. He is also proficient in English and seems to have ambitious plans for business overseas in the future. Additionally, the beautiful female owner who manages the shop is also eye-catching. The dishes are an 8800 yen course including tax. They use black Satsuma chicken. They have a lot of dealings with producers in Kagoshima, not only for ingredients but also out of respect for the local producers. The interior features a high-quality L-shaped counter seat. Since there is some distance to the grill, it's not just about looking at the food in front of you, but your entire movements can be seen, so if your performance is not good, it might be exposed, haha. The distance itself does not seem to be a disadvantage in terms of service, but since the food is grilled by moving it left and right on the grill, I got the impression that there may be differences in how the fat comes out and how the heat is applied depending on the part. However, overall, the quality of the ingredients, the way they are used, and the creativity and combinations were all very good, and it was much tastier than I had imagined. In the future, will they specialize in the quality of chicken and other ingredients and grilling techniques as a high-end yakitori restaurant, or will they focus more broadly on being a charcoal-grilled restaurant like now, or will they go in other directions? There seem to be many possibilities. The liver stew could become a specialty in terms of taste. The consideration for side dishes and soup was also very well thought out, and although I initially thought they might just rely on the ingredients, that was not the case. The sake that was delivered that day, Tadagin, was said to be best enjoyed freshly opened, so I tried it, and it was really good. The original brand is also good, but they also have a solid route for sourcing sake. At this point, the biggest advantage is that you can enjoy your meal while talking leisurely with the owner and the female owner, but either way, I think it will definitely become a restaurant loved by the locals. Even though the two of them are young, they are very friendly, so I think it's easy to enter. It was delicious. I highly recommend it♪ Just for your reference~!

Yakitori Matsoka is a yakitori restaurant located a 5-7 minute walk from Tanimachi Kyuchome Station. It recently opened and has a great atmosphere, perfect for a date night. The restaurant mainly has counter seats, so reservations are required. They use premium black Satsuma chicken (Kuroo) for all their skewers, and even though the quality is high, the course menu is priced at less than 10,000 yen, which is a great deal. Here are the dishes we tried at Yakitori Matsoka: 1. Black Satsuma Chicken and Pai Water Chicken Soup 2. Charcoal-Grilled Romaine Lettuce Salad 3. Black Satsuma Chicken Tataki with Peppercorns 4. Kokoro Skewer 5. Dakimi 6. Liver Stew 7. Lotus Root 8. Chicken Wings 9. Shiitake Mushrooms and Snap Peas 10. Cheese 11. Gizzard 12. Fried Brussels Sprouts 13. Chicken Tail 14. Samgyeopsal with Kagoshima Royal Pork 15. Negima 16. Chicken Broth Egg Rice and Pickles 17. Strawberry and Homemade Ice Cream The restaurant already offers high-quality dishes, but it seems like they will continue to evolve, making it an exciting place to visit. Enjoyed the meal!

Yakitori Matsuoka offers the opportunity to enjoy Sakkaku Black Chicken Kuro-Ou. The omakase course, infused with a taste of Japanese tradition, provides an experience that is truly memorable. The restaurant is clean and the staff provides detailed explanations. A place worth visiting again.

The sauce was too strong but delicious. Next time I will eat it with salt.

The taste, atmosphere, and hospitality are all top-notch!
