[Recommended yakitori, Seven Skewers Course]
- Hug, Seseri, Heart, Shiitake, Thick Tofu, Nankotsu, Tsukune: This 7-skewer course is ordered in terms of deliciousness, with Hug being the most delicious followed by Seseri, Tsukune, Heart, Nankotsu, Thick Tofu, and Shiitake. Each skewer is grilled with a different technique and saltiness to match the part, showcasing the skillful grilling technique of the chef.
[Kinkan Soy Sauce Pickles]
- This rare dish of fresh kumquat soy sauce pickles is bursting with rich umami when the thin skin pops and the egg yolk overflows in your mouth.
[White Liver Mousse]
- The liver mousse has a fluffy and creamy texture with no liver-like smell or taste, and it is sweetened with honey, making it a perfect match with crispy crackers.
[Soft-cooked Gizzard and Heart]
- Despite being soft-cooked, the chewy texture of the gizzard and the bouncy texture of the heart are still present. The sweet and savory seasoning similar to Nanban-zuke makes it a great accompaniment to alcohol.
[Overall Review]
You can enjoy delicious yakitori and wine in a stylish space with a clean counter. The dimly lit wine cellar adds an attraction as you can enter and use a flashlight to choose your favorite wine. With a reasonable price range, the variety of grilled dishes and appetizers cater to different tastes, making it a great restaurant filled with the owner's dedication.
