Hidden gem stylish yakitori restaurant in Ginza "Hinai Jidori Toriya Premium" located on the 5th floor of the Nohgaku Hall building a little further towards Shimbashi from the Ginza Nishi-gochome intersection on Sotobori Street. With a counter seating for 20 and tables for 25, this restaurant may seem like a casual yakitori place at first glance, but it is far from that. The interior is decorated with flowers, resembling a chic French restaurant. They offer well-prepared course meals and wine pairing, with sophisticated staff service. The private rooms are suitable for confidential meetings, and even politicians are known to frequent the place. Despite its prime location in Ginza, the 8,000 yen course is quite reasonable. This restaurant has been serving Hinai Jidori chicken since its opening, and it can be said that they played a significant role in popularizing it. I had the 8,000 yen "Premium course" which included various dishes like pork fillet with moroheiya sauce, red snapper tartare, assorted chicken skewers, and more. The flavors were exquisite, and the service was top-notch. This restaurant is a great choice for a classy dining experience in Ginza.

This was my first visit. I had the premium course. Since I made a last-minute reservation, I couldn't sit at the counter, but the table was still enjoyable. The staff were attentive and made our date enjoyable. They had a great selection of both bottled and by-the-glass wines.

The restaurant had a slightly dim lighting, but it was surprisingly lively with a bustling atmosphere serving yakitori. It was a stylish place for cooling off from the summer heat. The portions were not too large, but overall the course will leave you satisfied. There were creative dishes that made the experience enjoyable.

- Grilled chicken tenderloin with caviar on top: The caviar adds a nice touch and the chicken is cooked perfectly. - Sea urchin and green asparagus mousse: The sea urchin complements the asparagus well with a hint of saltiness. - Rolled chicken breast: The skin is not too crispy, but the overall dish is soft and the wasabi is just right. - Smooth and slightly spicy tsukune (chicken meatball): A good balance of flavors. - Grilled gizzard with silver skin: Fresh and chewy, with a nice texture. - Chicken wings: Not too oily, but the skin is slightly tough. - White asparagus from Kagawa Prefecture: Crispy and slightly bitter, a good combination. - Chicken liver pate: Rich flavor with a slight sweetness from the potatoes. - Cabbage marinated in vinegar: Sour and salty, maybe trying to prevent bloating. - Quail with mustard sauce: Tender and delicious, with a mild mustard flavor. - Grilled chicken tenderloin: Fatty and salty. - Caprese salad: A nice break from the saltiness. - Quail egg with truffle powder: The sauce has a subtle acidity that overpowers the truffle powder. - Grilled liver: Good texture and flavor, but the taste is a bit off. - Chicken thigh meat: Average. - Curry or cheese for the finale: The curry is spicy and lacks chicken flavor, while the cheese is not very cheesy. - Creme brulee and mango mousse: Both are overly sweet, leaving a salty aftertaste. The restaurant is clean and has a good atmosphere. The smiling farewell from the chef was a nice touch.

Enjoy a marriage of about 300 types of French wines and Higashiyama Jidori at "Ginza Toriya Premium". [Menu] - Amuse - Appetizer - Skewers focusing on Higashiyama Jidori - Tomato Caprese - Original chicken curry and Higashiyama Jidori soup - Choice of dessert (Creme brulee, Mango pudding) [Drinks] - Draft beer - White wine - Red wine x2

The stylish interior of the 5th floor of the Ginza Noh Theater building feels more like a French restaurant than a yakitori place ✩.*˚▶ Starting with an appetizer of skewered chicken with caviar, the Premium Course offers a main dish of Akita Hinai Jidori chicken, one of Japan's top three local chicken breeds, with yakitori that pairs well with wine ♬.*ﾟIndeed, the wine went down smoothly (lol). Personally, the curry surprisingly scored high points and was delicious!!

This restaurant, with a concept of a high-class yakitori place, is surprisingly far from the expected image. In conclusion, it is like an unnecessarily expensive Torikizoku. The place is cramped and lacks the upscale ambiance despite its concept. The dishes were not tasty, and the yakitori pieces were small. The service was also lacking, with slow tempo and missing orders. Overall, it was a disappointing experience for the price paid.

I enjoyed the Premium course at the counter seat. The dishes were not only delicious but also served at a great pace. The yakitori was perfectly cooked - crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The spicy curry served as the final dish was also delicious, and the appetizers and dessert were great too. With such a variety in the course menu, enjoying drinks cost just a little over 10,000 yen, making it a great value. The staff's service was also excellent.

A great place to enjoy sophisticated yakitori. The atmosphere is lovely and perfect for dates or girls' night out. The yakitori is delicious, and the wine selection is extensive and tasty! We had a course meal, which was quite filling - maybe too much for women? But I definitely want to come back to this place again.

Let's get excited! Today, I visited Toriya Premium in Ginza! The interior of the restaurant is stylish with a counter where you can see the grilling area and chic tables. It's a very nice atmosphere! The course is modern French-style grilled chicken, with a variety of unique cuts that are very delicious. Among the dishes I tried today, the crispy Hichinoko chicken thigh skewer was outstanding! The juices burst in your mouth with each bite! The Tsukune skewer was also excellent, with the meat's fat spreading nicely in your mouth. The liver skewer was tender and had a fluffy texture, a well-balanced and tasty skewer. The must-try dish at this restaurant is the quail egg skewer, perfectly cooked with a creamy texture and seasoned with truffle salt. It's amazing! Another highlight of this place is the sommelier, providing excellent service and recommending wines with great taste. The prices are reasonable for Ginza, making it wallet-friendly. It was a very delicious experience! Thank you for the meal!

A stylish yakitori restaurant located in a beautiful building. The interior is clean and elegant, with a choice of counter seating or tables. They offer a wide selection of wines. The yakitori, made with Hichinai chicken, is light and refreshing, but the portions are small. The food was delicious, but the course menu left me wanting more. The chicken breast was tasty, but I wish the pieces were larger for the price. The service and cleanliness of the restaurant were top-notch, although the champagne was not very cold. They were willing to add ice if requested. This place might be a good choice for those with smaller appetites.

It feels like spring, but before I knew it, it seems like summer is already here!! The other day, after work, I went to have dinner in Ginza for the first time in a while. The famous restaurants in the Ginza area were fully booked, and I managed to get a reservation here at the last minute. The delicious restaurants are all fully booked... but I feel completely revitalized now. This time, I combined the premium course with a wine pairing. We started with a toast with a rosé sparkling wine. The appetizer was a Blancmange made with new onions, allowing you to fully enjoy the sweetness of the onions. The second wine, a Verdicchio from Alicante, was a perfect match for the seafood. We had tartare of red shrimp and udo, and the lean meat of Hichinai chicken. The next wine was a favorite, a Plo Roucarels - Limoux Peyret. We then enjoyed the Hichinai chicken's hug meat and bonjiri. The white wine from Spain, Juan Gil Sakura Label Cuatro Meses 2021, was perfect for the season of cherry blossoms. We continued with the chicken liver and snow peas. The dishes got heavier as we moved on to Burgundy wines... I remember them being delicious even though I was getting a bit tipsy! The chicken wings of Hichinai were crispy and delicious. The Caprese of fruit tomatoes seemed like a dish you would find in a high-end Italian restaurant. We then had smoked duck with cherry blossoms and potato salad. The juicy and rich duck meat and tsukune were paired with a robust Bordeaux. It was impressive to see the glasses change according to the wine pairing... I didn't expect to have so many glasses of wine with yakitori. The wine was also very delicious. We then had tsukune with egg mayo. The sauce wasn't too sweet, making it a great match for red wine. We ended with a delicious dessert wine. There's nothing I hate more than cheap and tasteless dessert wine. This wine was truly delicious until the end. By the end, I was quite drunk. We could choose the original curry as the finale, but since there was still wine left and I wanted to go to a second place (lol), we decided to go with cheese. It was hard to believe that this was a yakitori restaurant with such a refined and delicious atmosphere. It was like the cheese you would get at the end of a French restaurant - very elegant. We also had creme brulee. It was full of eggy goodness but not too sweet, suitable for adults. I had drunk too much coffee that day, so I accidentally ordered herbal tea. It was the first time in my life to have herbal tea at a yakitori restaurant!! The other day, I visited Ponga Premium in Roppongi, but I wonder if restaurants with "premium" in their name are becoming popular these days? It was a premium yakitori restaurant in Ginza where you can enjoy yakitori with a premium feel like in a French restaurant. ☆

Ah, this is the kind of image I had in mind for a yakitori restaurant in Ginza! It lived up to my expectations with a nice atmosphere, both at the counter and in private rooms. It's suitable for business dinners and dates. Enjoying wine while eating is the way to go. I tried the duck and tsukune, which I personally liked. The curry at the end was like a dry curry, which was good. While the yakitori itself may be a bit pricey, considering the location and atmosphere, it's worth it (not excessively expensive!).

I have been to this place about 10 times already. It's a great spot for gatherings and I noticed many couples on dates as well. Despite being a yakitori place, it has an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere that is quite unique. Let me introduce you to this hidden gem of a restaurant, Toriyapremium Ginza. On this particular day, I wasn't very hungry so I opted for the cheapest course at 6000 yen. Even so, the portion was more than enough. Let's get started. Oyster with nori cream sauce - The creamy flavor of the oyster paired surprisingly well with the seaweed, adding a touch of saltiness. Chicken breast skewers with shiitake mushroom salad - Not bad, but personally, I'm not a fan of the slimy texture. Grilled chicken thigh and neck meat - Simply delicious. Duck breast with ginkgo nuts and duck tartare soup - The tartare alone was enough. It tasted even better with the egg, but I recommend saving the egg for the last few bites. It was so good that I wanted to order another one, but to my dismay, the restaurant said, "Sorry, we didn't have any in stock today." What a disappointment! My food review rating dropped by 0.1 just because of this. It may seem unreasonable, but the absence of the duck tartare was truly a letdown. Regardless, the food was still delicious. I hope to get my hands on the duck tartare next time. Now, it's time for bed.

There are few yakitori restaurants open on Sundays, but I decided to visit this one since it was open. I was looking forward to trying the Hichinai chicken yakitori, so I ordered the standard course. Unfortunately, both appetizers were disappointing. Especially the red snapper tartare was not tasty. The yakitori itself was good, but I couldn't fully enjoy it due to the disappointing appetizers. I think appetizers are important because they leave a strong impression. The atmosphere and service of the restaurant were not bad.

When it comes to the marriage of Hinai-jidori chicken and French wine, this is the place where Prime Minister Abe visited three times, the flagship store of the premium dining group, a pioneer in the yakitori & wine business in Ginza, run by Chairman Kazuhiro Tsunoda. Established over 10 years ago, this popular restaurant has been loved for a long time. With 45 seats, the spacious venue hosts events such as Makers Wine Dinners. The yakitori served on the deep white wooden double counter is delicious with Western touches like olive oil and balsamic sauce. The supple texture of Hinai-jidori chicken and the technique of skewering and grilling in the Edo style are outstanding. The wine selection, mainly from France, is carefully curated. We enjoyed the 14-course premium course, which includes a commitment to no additives and pesticide-free vegetables from contracted farmers. The appetizers, such as steamed turban shell salad and tomato and peach gazpacho with basil sorbet, are refreshing. The duck with balsamic caramelized carrots in orange juice and Bordeaux "Clos les Lambarde" pairs well with the concentrated fruity flavor. From ground meat curry made with Hinai-jidori chicken to brulee made with eggs, each dish was full of umami and delightful. The Premium Course Menu includes: - Mozzarella cheese and fruit marinated turban shell salad - Hinai-jidori chicken breast - Hinai-jidori chicken negima - Hinai-jidori chicken skewers - Hinai-jidori chicken thigh meat - Tomato and peach gazpacho - Hinai-jidori chicken tsunagi - Special tsukune - Today's main skewer - Original curry and chicken soup - Creme brulee and blended coffee The wine pairings included: - Sparkling: Hugues Godmé Signature Millesime 2016 - Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay - White: Elio Grasso Lange Chardonnay Educat 2020 - White: Domaine Monrose Mont Blanc 2020 - Viognier - Red: Domaine Fournillon et Fils Bourgogne Epineuil 2019 - Pinot Noir - Red: Bordeaux Clos les Lambarde (Graves) 2019 - Merlot Thank you for the wonderful meal. I look forward to visiting again for a high-quality experience for entertaining overseas guests or enjoying private time.

I visited "Toriya Premium" located on the 5th floor of the Noh Theater Iijima Building along Sotobori Street, just a 2-minute walk from Ginza Station B9 exit. This place has been known for its pairing of yakitori and wine in Ginza for about 10 years. For my first visit, I decided to try the premium course priced at 8000 yen with wine pairing. To start off, I enjoyed a refreshing unfiltered beer, Shirohonoka. The pairing of Mozzarella and fruit marinated with banana surprisingly went well with Shirohonoka. The steamed turban shell salad with liver sauce was exceptional! I paired it with a crisp and well-balanced Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie white wine. The main dish featured Akita's Hinai-jidori chicken, with juicy and tender skewers such as the tenderloin and neck meat. The chicken was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of salt, bringing out the delicious flavor. The vegetable skewer included Kumamoto's red eggplant, offering a delightful melt-in-your-mouth experience. The unique Sorelis with a firm texture and a hint of crispy skin was a treat. I paired it with a Pinot wine. The day ended with a tomato and peach gazpacho palate cleanser, followed by a rare delicacy called "Tsugiki," a part that connects the heart and liver of the chicken. This scarce part had a rich umami flavor. The liver was also exquisite. I paired it with a Cabernet Sauvignon from Smokin' Barrels, inspired by the notorious train robber "Sam Bass." The truffle-flavored special tsukune was a standout with its rich egg yolk and crispy cheese. The full-bodied Gran Maestro Primitivo di Manduria paired perfectly. The highlight of the day was the duck main skewer served with balsamic vinegar, resembling a French dish. The meal ended with the original curry and chicken soup, which were both outstanding. The addictive curry is a must-try, and the dessert of creme brulee was a satisfying end to a delightful dining experience. I will definitely visit again!

Today, I visited Toriya Premium in Ginza 6-chome. This restaurant specializes in yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) and wine. I opted for the 8000 yen course with wine pairing. To start off, I enjoyed a glass of Shiraho Noka nama (unfiltered) sake to beat the summer heat. The mozzarella and fruit marinated with banana was a refreshing dish that helped revive my body from the heat. The steamed sazae (horned turban shell) salad with fresh sazae and liver sauce had a sophisticated flavor that paired well with alcohol. The Hichinai chicken breast with wasabi was light and refreshing. The negima (chicken and leek) skewers had a crispy exterior and juicy interior, truly delicious. The seseri (chicken neck) had a chewy texture and was very satisfying. The vegetable skewer with red eggplant from Kumamoto was surprisingly gentle and flavorful. The Hichinai chicken wings, both the shoulder and loin parts, had unique flavors that went well with wine. The tomato and peach gazpacho was elegant and refreshing, with a basil sorbet that added a cool touch. The Hichinai chicken liver was moist and had a deep flavor. The special tsukune (chicken meatball) with truffle, cheese, and rich egg yolk was a luxurious dish. The main skewer of the day was duck from Hokkaido, rich in vitamins and minerals, making it perfect for the season. For dessert, I enjoyed the original curry and chicken soup, which had a medicinal curry-like aroma and flavor that was energizing. The crème brûlée was a delightful way to end the meal in the relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant, with excellent service from the staff. The wine pairing was also enjoyable. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Visited "Toriya Premium" in Ginza. It's one of my favorite places. It's located near the old Sony Building. As you open the heavy door, you step into a stylish interior. Due to its location, there are many women in Ginza who visit, and young people also use it for dates. There are counter and table seats, making it convenient for various occasions. As for the food, the impression is that it's stylish and the meat tastes great. Each type of meat offers unique cuts, which is highly praised. Additionally, the half-cooked quail egg skewer melts in your mouth and is incredibly delicious. The prices are reasonable for yakitori, especially considering the quality and location in Ginza. Furthermore, the wine selection is extensive, with a variety of amazing wines. I always ask the sommelier for recommendations, and their wine choices are fantastic. They consider budget and preferences to choose a delicious bottle. I recommend pairing yakitori with wine for a delightful combination. Thank you for the wonderful meal. I will definitely come back.

The female Akita Kogen Hinai-Jidori chicken is delicious indeed! I enjoyed a course featuring mainly Akita Kogen Hinai-Jidori chicken and natural wine at a restaurant. The perfect grilling with the highest quality Kishu Binchotan charcoal and the exquisite seasoning of aged local chicken. I started with a toast with champagne, then tried a unique potato salad with tofu and quinoa. The yellowtail carpaccio with two types of cranberry and olive sauce was a perfect match for the wine. The chicken skewers were amazing, especially the tenderloin and neck meat. The red eggplant from Kumamoto was incredibly tasty. The chicken liver was cooked to perfection, and the truffle salted meatballs were a surprising delight. The chicken thigh meat was juicy and flavorful, and the fruit tomato caprese was a favorite among the ladies. The liver and heart skewers were a hit, and the truffle salted meatballs were a unique treat. The main dish was duck meat from Hokkaido, and the original curry and chicken soup were both delicious. The crème brûlée and blended coffee for dessert were fantastic. The cozy private rooms and the counter where you can watch the cooking process were both enjoyable. Whether for a girls' night out, a date, or a business dinner, this restaurant is perfect for any occasion. I look forward to returning here for more delicious grilled chicken! Thank you for the wonderful meal! 2929 ☺️

The Hichinai Jidori chicken breast is small but has a firm texture and rich flavor. Also included are Hichinai Jidori chicken thigh meat, chicken wings, red eggplant, and more.
