Happy New Year. I visited this place on New Year's Eve and purchased it as a snack for drinking. I first used this place seven years ago, and was surprised by its unexpected deliciousness, so I started using it regularly. I love chicken, but when it comes to yakitori, I prefer pork skewers, and rarely eat chicken skewers. When I purchased salted pork skewers at a take-out yakitori shop on the premises of a supermarket in Chitose City, I was surprised by the deliciousness that was almost the same as eating at a yakitori shop, but after a few uses, when I purchased pre-made skewers and reheated them in the microwave, they became dry, and I felt that the deliciousness had disappeared, so I haven't visited since then. In recent years, several take-out yakitori shops have opened in the Chitose and Eniwa area, but they specialize in chicken, and although they are delicious, pork is still my preference. After eating delicious spicy miso ramen, I visited this place, and despite it being lunchtime, many customers were there, which is probably unique to New Year's Eve. I lined up at the end, checked the types of yakitori, and found that more than half of them were sold out. Some customers were buying up to 4,000 yen worth of skewers, so I might have had to wait for new ones to be cooked. Fortunately, there were 11 pork salt skewers left, so I bought all of them and also 4 chicken skin skewers. When I reheated them at home in the microwave, these pork skewers did not dry out. However, I knew that the saltiness was mild, so I sprinkled some table salt on them, took a bite, and thought, "Oh, this is good!" I really like pork skewers. I prefer chicken skin to be crispy, but I also don't mind it being soft like here. Since my early 20s, I have been eating chicken skin whenever I can, ever since I was surprised by the deliciousness of it at a yakitori shop. To make chicken skin crispy, it needs to be cooked slowly over low heat, so it surprisingly takes time. It's been 25 years, but I can't forget the crispy chicken skin at "Ajishogun" in Katsuragi 1-chome.

Visited a yakitori deli shop on the first floor of Chitose Aeon in August 2022. Bought some potatoes to accompany my evening drink. They fry a whole domestic potato as is. The potatoes are small, so they seem to be new potatoes. They are seasoned well with salt, have a fluffy texture, and are surprisingly delicious.

I knew that there were Rokkatei, Gindako, and Beard Papa a little away from the food court in Chitose (divided into two locations), but I just found out for the first time that there is Nipponichi at the very end! It was almost closing time, so there weren't many left, and the people in front of me were buying a lot, so I got some cute side dishes. ★ Lovely potato set 300 yen I wonder if this is for Valentine's Day~ The lovely thing is just the container, the taste was normal~. The lovely thing was small and crispy fried in bite-sized pieces. It's cute when you serve it with the container, but I wonder if it adds a sense of being lazy.... Next time I'll buy yakitori. Thank you for the meal!

In Japan, when you think of "number one," you might imagine a takeout yakitori shop located inside Aeon or Toko Store. However, those who have visited know that they also offer items like karaage and unagi. Surprisingly, they have been selling unagi since 1985, while yakitori came later in 1989. During my visit, I purchased four salt-flavored skewers: salt hina, salt pork and leek, salt bonjiri, and gizzard. The taste and portion sizes were all satisfying, but the bonjiri skewer left a particularly good impression. The salt hina skewer was on sale this time, but the salt hina and leek skewer might have a better balance. Most items are priced around 100 yen, making them very affordable. I look forward to trying the tare (sauce) flavored skewers next time.

After switching my ion card at Ion, I went to Japan's best yakitori restaurant for the first time in a while. The beer goes down smoothly (^-^)

"I came to the restaurant on Tuesday around 5 pm on August 22, 2017. Actually, I just moved to Chitose on this day! Goodbye Sapporo. I was a Sapporo resident for only 5 months (￣▽￣;) I will start a new job in September, so I am moving to Chitose! However, I sent my belongings on the 22nd, and they will arrive on the 23rd. The new company will cover the hotel expenses, so I gratefully stayed at a hotel♪ So, I went to Aeon in Chitose right away. I have been going to Aeon in Chitose since the days of Sati and Post Full about 20 years ago, but the shopping choices for Chitose residents are here, Big House, or Trial. Aeon has everything, so if you want to buy more than just groceries, you come to Aeon, right? I knew they were the largest in Japan and had chain stores, but this was my first time using it! - Heart skewer ¥105 - Liver skewer ¥95 - Salt bonshiwa skewer ¥105 - Salt blue shiso tsukune skewer ¥105 Surprisingly, they are quite cheap! Since they are all cold, warming them up is necessary when eating (well, they are delicious as they are, but the softness decreases). The liver is cooked thoroughly, but it doesn't have much smell, and the sauce is delicious! Above all, at this price, it's worth it (●´ω`●) Sometimes I crave skewers, but I'm not drinking, and it's hard to go to a restaurant alone. Such restaurants are very convenient for me♪ The other skewers are also well-flavored, and they should continue to be popular for many years! With a variety of skewers, I would like to use this place when I feel like eating skewers♪"

I sometimes go to this restaurant to buy food, but this time I went after a long time. It was a little after 3 o'clock and there were about 5 or 6 people in line. This time, I bought salted soft bone skewers - 105 yen for two, salted chicken skin skewers - 105 yen for two, sand liver skewers - 105 yen for two, and salted chicken wing skewers - 183 yen for two. There were other things I wanted to eat, but this time I only bought these. The yakitori here is delicious, including the sauce!

2017/01 I went to the ATM at Aeon and decided to buy dinner as well. I purchased the following items: - Salted chicken thigh karaage: 157 yen (213 yen per 100g) - Soy sauce chicken thigh karaage: 159 yen (213 yen per 100g) - Salted chicken skin skewers: 105 yen each x 2 Since the prices were based on 100g units, I asked if it was okay to not buy 100g, and it was fine. I love karaage, especially made with chicken thigh meat. I bought both salted and soy sauce flavors, and surprisingly, I preferred the soy sauce one for its savory taste. The salted chicken skin skewers looked delicious with a crispy charred exterior. Overall, the food was a bit salty, perfect for pairing with alcohol. Itadakimasu! 2013/06 After having lunch at Aeon, I decided to buy groceries for the week and some bread. For dinner, I thought of getting some side dishes as well. I usually pass by this place, but this time I decided to check it out. They sell yakitori and side dishes, and there was quite a crowd. I bought the following items: - Salted chicken skin skewers: 98 yen I love chicken skin, always order it at izakayas. It had been a while since I had some, and it was delicious as always. - Salted asparagus skewers: 105 yen I love asparagus, and it was tasty. - Karaage: 75 yen each A bit spicy, but delicious. - Chicken skin gyoza: 50 yen I love both chicken skin and gyoza, so I decided to try this unique combination. The texture was different from regular gyoza, with a soft and thin skin. It's a unique dish that you need to appreciate separately from traditional gyoza. Itadakimasu!

There are various types of yakitori restaurants in Ion, and if you buy them all, it can be quite expensive. It's convenient to buy them all at once, but if you prefer freshly grilled yakitori, you might feel unsatisfied. However, for a casual and convenient option, it's good. Personally, I prefer freshly grilled yakitori. And of course, it goes well with sake! Grilling yakitori on a charcoal grill is not allowed during a barbecue, but I still want to do it. It's kind of unrelated, but I ended up talking about guerrilla yakitori (grilling yakitori in a small charcoal grill in a secluded area in the mountains). I apologize for the irrelevant change in the conversation.

Visited "Chibi Maru Potato" in May 2015, total cost 241 yen at AEON Chitose store. It is a takeout shop located near the food section of AEON, next to Beard Papa. I'm not a fan of the face-to-face ordering system where you have to specify what you want, but I love Chibi Maru Potato so I always end up buying it when I see the packaged version. This time, I finally decided to purchase it since they were selling it in packs! The potatoes were fluffy, slightly sweet, and delicious.

I bought some yakitori from Aeon's "Nipponichi" for my husband's pre-night shift drinking snacks and my night snacks. We have purchased from here about 4-5 times in the past, and my husband really likes the "Green Shiso Tsukune Skewer (Salt)" here. We also got the "Hina Garlic Skewer (Salt)," "Fried Chicken," "Chicken Skin Gyoza," and "Fried Chopped Green Onion and Red Pickled Ginger." The Green Shiso Tsukune Skewer (Salt) has a salt sauce that spreads the flavor of green shiso when eaten, and it's delicious. The Hina Garlic Skewer (Salt) also has a salt sauce that goes well with the Hina meat and garlic. The smell of garlic also stimulates the appetite. The Fried Chopped Green Onion and Red Pickled Ginger was a first-time purchase for me. I was curious and decided to try it. It looks like satsuma-age at first glance, but when you eat it, the flavor of red pickled ginger spreads throughout your mouth, making it very refreshing. The texture of the green onion was very good, and it was delicious. The Fried Chicken and Chicken Skin Gyoza were just average in taste. There are many other products available, so I would like to try different items next time. Thank you for the meal.

On May 3, 2015, when I traveled to Sapporo & Chitose with my partner, we found a yakitori restaurant near our accommodation at Ion. I bought some snacks for our evening drink in the room. I got salted chicken cartilage skewers (2), tsukune (2 on sale), thigh and green onion skewer (1), and thigh skewer (1). They were really cheap but delicious! I mainly enjoyed the salted chicken cartilage and tsukune, but I also tried a bit of my partner's thigh skewer, which was also tasty. I prefer salt over sauce, but my partner leans towards sauce. I wish they had this restaurant in our local Ion too!

It is located inside AEON Chitose. There are salt and sauce flavors available. I bought Ponjiri, liver, Zangi, etc. There was a line at the checkout. The taste was consistently good and very delicious. I ended up buying a lot. Please note that this is my personal diary entry and opinions or comments may not be reliable.

There were no other customers, so I quickly bought 14 items. I microwaved them and they make a great snack with beer... so delicious! They were not as salty as I expected, which was nice! My wife said, "It's not the best in Japan!" (laughs) Salted leek skewer 119 yen, salted pork and leek skewer 149 yen, salted chicken wings skewer 194 yen, liver skewer 95 yen, salted chicken skin skewer 112 yen. Thank you for the meal!

I'm completely out of ideas, I need to go out and eat a lot this weekend... So, here's a review of "Nipponichi Aeon Chitose Store." Just like with yakitori restaurants, I tend to order the same things. I got chicken skewers, pork skewers, chicken cartilage, and liver. Takeout yakitori always seems a bit lacking, but "Nipponichi" and "En" are convenient when you want to have some yakitori at home. I wish the liver was a bit more rare though. Thanks for the meal!
