I found this restaurant while strolling around Gakushuin University. It was bustling and had a nice atmosphere, so I decided to stop by. I ordered bottled beer and highball. The highball was delicious! The prices of the drinks were cheaper compared to other nearby places. The yakitori was small but well-cooked and very tasty. The appetizers were all delicious, especially the vinegared dish with wild plants. The pickles were also tasty. By the time we left the restaurant around 9 pm, it was fully packed. There is a nice sofa seating area on the second floor which we didn't try. It's a good place for a quick meal on weekdays. Thank you for the meal! See you again soon!

The egg in the torotama potato salad was not noticed by me, but my companion mentioned it smelled slightly off. The addition of iburi gakko (smoked pickles) in the potato salad was nice. The grilled chicken skewers were slightly above average in taste. They were tasty, but nothing particularly stood out. The charcoal grilling flavor didn't come through much. The oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl) was quite sweet. Overall, it was good but I may not revisit this place.

The appearance looked delicious so I decided to try it. Each skewer costs around 200 to 300 yen, which is a bit on the pricier side, but the taste makes it worth it. The side dishes like potato salad and grilled yam are also delicious. Especially the potato salad, I wanted to have seconds. The eggplant was also juicy and really tasty.

All the yakitori was delicious, but the negima had a great texture. The texture when you bite into the first mouthful of yakitori usually determines the overall evaluation. The restaurant is stylish and lively, making it easy to enter from the outside, almost like an open shop. However, it's always crowded and hard to get in. While the rating on Tabelog is decent, it's a restaurant that gives off a higher evaluation.

The atmosphere was great. Not only the atmosphere, but the taste was also delicious and satisfying. I enjoyed the liver, negima, and my favorite drinks were the sansho highball and Earl Grey plum wine. It was amazing. Thank you for the meal. 4 draft beers, 2 sansho highballs, 2 Earl Grey plum wines.

It's always crowded, so I was curious. I made a reservation for Saturday at 7:15 PM and there was one seat available. The restaurant was fully booked, including the second floor. I ordered items like chicken breast, pork belly, green onion skewers, lantern skewers, and meatballs. Every skewer was delicious, and the atmosphere and service in the restaurant were great. The miso soup at the end was complimentary.

Tokyo University of the Arts is famous for its many yakitori restaurants. I recently visited a newer yakitori restaurant in the area. The interior of the restaurant has both counter and table seating, and both areas have a nice atmosphere. There seems to be a trend for smaller yakitori portions lately, and this restaurant also serves smaller, more refined portions. Personally, I prefer the standard size portions, but the taste here is good. Although the cost performance may not be the best, it is a recommended spot for a relaxing drink or a date night. The fact that there is a second floor is also convenient for groups of 7-8 people. I will be visiting the next restaurant soon.

It was delicious! Everything I ate was delicious, so I want to try something different next time. The food I had today was also delicious, so I want to eat it again. I'm torn between choices. The tomato shochu highball was delicious, with no green tomato smell, and all the alcohol was delicious.

I went to a place that my junior chose for a drink. It was located on the main street of the university, and I was surprised to find such a stylish restaurant! The interior was stylish and cozy, making it a comfortable place to be. The yakitori was all delicious! Especially the stuffed bell pepper with flavored egg on top, the bell pepper had a crispy texture and was exquisite! The garlic rice for the finale was so delicious that it could open a restaurant on its own! The staff were all young, but they were polite and full of energy, providing excellent hospitality! It was a satisfying dinner after a long time of drinking. I would love to visit again. It was great!

The yakitori restaurant that opened in March 2021 in Gakugeidaigaku. I made a reservation for 17:00 opening time and went there. There were about 8 customers, mostly families. By 17:30, it was almost full. It continued to be crowded with customers coming and going. It's very popular. Skewers are priced at 250 yen and 280 yen. In terms of pricing, it seems like a rival to Torisen, also located in Gakugeidaigaku. The total bill for 2 dishes, 9 skewers, oyakodon, and 3 cups of sake was 6960 yen. It was a reasonably priced and delicious yakitori restaurant. With this price range, it might become even more popular in the future. The dishes included chicken wasabi yukke, juicy and delicious. Seseri, juicy and delicious, but slightly salty. Aburi sasami with yuzu pepper, slightly overcooked. Negima, well-balanced and tasty. Munemaki, a bit dry. Shishito pepper with Pecorino, tsukune with soft bones, slightly too sweet. Skin, goes well with sweet sauce. Shiitake tsukune, stuffed bell pepper, surprisingly elaborate with boiled egg, cheese, and delicious. Oyakodon, delicious with a smoky flavor. Drinks included draft beer, Kurosawa sake, and Nanbu Bijin sake.

There is a relatively new yakitori restaurant located in Gakugei University. The atmosphere is filled with the warmth of wood. The second floor is also open, giving a very spacious feeling to the interior of the restaurant. The yakitori is delicious with a refined seasoning, and the customer service is excellent. It is a very user-friendly restaurant. It was a great place!

Negima, seseri, aburi sasami, yuzu kosho, rebahatsu, nama tsukune, tare, kokoro no kori, chouchin, moeru jagabata. This is amazing... The atmosphere in the restaurant is great and the staff's hospitality is excellent. You can enjoy a live feeling at the counter, or relax at a table or on the sofa seats on the second floor. The fresh chicken meat, sourced daily, is carefully skewered for over 5 hours each day. The yakitori is cooked on a charcoal grill, making it incredibly juicy and delicious. The rare cut "chouchin" literally bursts with flavor in your mouth. The restaurant is often fully booked, so it's recommended to make a reservation in advance. It's a stylish, cool, and elegant restaurant that fits perfectly in the neighborhood of Gakugeidaigaku station. I will definitely be coming back. #Ikepeinews #Gakugeidaigaku station

If you request the bill, you can also enjoy complimentary miso soup, which is a nice service. The chicken meat is sourced daily from "Tsukiji Toritou" and the quality of both the ingredients and the cooking is excellent. A revisit to this restaurant is a must!

A new yakitori restaurant has opened in Gakugeidaigaku with a wide variety of rare cuts! Kurosawa Sosan Shoten uses charcoal fire and their specialty is the chochin (lantern) skewers! The chicken is sourced from Torito in Tsukiji, and their oyakodon is also delicious. Make sure to make a reservation as it gets busy, with some people being turned away. The limited quantity skewers are a must-try, and the chochin skewers are amazing with rich color and flavor. The hatsu (heart) skewers and hatsu maru are juicy and flavorful. The negima (chicken and leek) skewers are a safe choice with perfect seasoning. The harami (chicken breast) skewers wrapped in neck skin are incredibly juicy and delicious. The saezuri (gizzard) skewers have a crunchy texture that is enjoyable. The liver sashimi (lightly cooked) here might be the best I've ever had, with a rare texture that is superb. The appetizer costs 300 yen and skewers range from 230 yen, making it a great value for around 4500 yen. Highly recommended!

A wonderful yakitori restaurant has opened at Tokyu Line Gakugeidaigaku Station! Even though the opening hours are from 17:00, there were only 2 seats available and I sat at the counter. But yakitori is best enjoyed at the counter, right? I was thinking about how important it is to have a variety of rare cuts of meat at a yakitori restaurant, and then I found my favorite, chouchin! The color and flavor are so rich, it's amazing! The restaurant also offers great dishes like chicken liver, red wine, and Hatcho miso. The chicken offal stew is a must-try! It goes well with wine. For dessert, I had chicken white soup ramen and left fully satisfied! I want to try all the other menu items, so I will definitely be going back!

The ventilation is good, so it is considered safe, but during the pandemic, I had been avoiding yakitori restaurants due to the somewhat crowded impression. However, with the change in infection control measures, I decided to visit one. I made a reservation for a Saturday afternoon at 6 pm. When I arrived a little before 6 pm, there was a 5-minute wait for seating. It seemed like you could walk in without a reservation until around 6 pm, but after that, they only allowed entry until a certain time, and then it was full and they couldn't accept any more customers. The restaurant has a visible interior from the outside, which attracts casual passersby. Making a reservation is recommended if you want to ensure a table. I had read some reviews mentioning that the skewers were small, so I ordered a lot, but surprisingly, they were quite filling. I might have ordered too many skewers for one person. The service was relatively quick, so it would have been better to order a little at a time. In addition to the yakitori, I ordered tomato salad, potato salad, simmered tripe, and grated yam gratin, along with beer, sake, and sour cocktails. The total bill for two people was reasonable at just under 10,000 yen. As for the taste, well, it was decent. The non-yakitori dishes were as expected and reasonably tasty. The atmosphere was a bit lively, but the brightness of the restaurant, unlike a typical yakitori place, was nice. The staff consisted mainly of young part-timers, with an elderly man in the kitchen. They were youthful and overall not bad.

All the dishes are delicious, but the portion sizes are small! Not suitable for those looking for large portions... The staff are all friendly and helpful.

After exiting the ticket gate at Gakugei-daigaku Station, go straight through the shopping street on the left and you will find a shop on the right side with inconspicuous letters on the glass door saying "Kurosawa Sosan Shoten." There is a Gyoza no Ohsho shop across the street, which can serve as a landmark. Arriving at the restaurant at 20:30 with a reservation, it was packed with young people. It was a good thing we made a reservation as several walk-in customers were turned away. We were seated at the counter and immediately ordered a bottle of beer (Akasaka). The appetizer simmered in broth was exquisitely delicious. We then ordered skewered heart (salt), leek and pork belly skewers (salt), Caesar salad, grilled yam with seaweed, leek salad, sand liver ajillo, thick-cut baguette, tsukune skewers (sauce), chicken skin (salt), and simmered offal. For the finale, we had oyakodon from a yakitori restaurant. Everything was delicious. The restaurant has around 10 counter seats, 4 table seats, and even a second floor with sofa seats at 2 tables. The spacing between seats was tight, almost bumping into the neighboring seat. I wish there was a bit more room (maybe I should lose weight...). The staff was plentiful, making ordering easy. Despite the predominantly young crowd, the presence of a few adults didn't feel out of place. Would I go again? Hmm... If only there was a bit more room for seating... I realized I didn't take any photos of the food. I'm sorry.

Great value for a date, suitable for those in their 20s to 30s. They offer rare cuts of meat with perfect seasoning, and the smoky flavor is excellent. There is no lingering smoke smell inside the restaurant, and the atmosphere is nice, making it a good choice for small group gatherings as well.

Atmosphere: ○ Cost performance: ◎ 6 skewers, simmered tripe in miso, potato salad, seared mentaiko, Japanese-style potatoes and cheese for about 3500 yen per person.
