2023/8 "It's a waste not to know the taste of this place" by Akiton (..) Yakitori "Jinbocho Gokida" ✨✨ A shop run by Chef Gokida, who trained with "Schumann" and "Manoir de l'Inno". It's a trendy shop that will be featured in the 2024 Michelin Guide. The shop opened in July 2021, and is located a 4-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Jinbocho Station. The use of wood is abundant, and the cherry wood counter is impressive. How does the food taste? (*´∇`)ノ ■Features - Uses chicken such as Hichinai Jidori, Okukuji Gunkan, and French Black Chicken - Wide selection of wines, from 400 bottles and up. ■Yakitori Course 8,200 yen (tax included, plus 980 yen for service charge) Enjoy seasonal vegetables, appetizers, and skewers to your heart's content. ⚫Amuse-bouche ① Bhutan Noir ② Hichinai Jidori ③ Liver Paste Clearly, the chef understands cooking well. Even the amuse-bouche is not taken lightly, served fresh. Each dish is impressively well-executed, making me so excited. Perfect! This is definitely deserving of a Michelin rating. …………………………………… ⚫Fried young ayu fish At this time of year, you might wonder about "young ayu fish," but the finishing is perfect. The ingredients are good, and the sauce with a hint of dill is lovely. …………………………………… ⚫Sardin Aomori Organic Vegetables Depending on the season, vegetables are sourced from different regions. Wow, these vegetables are delicious - wild and flavorful. Fresh herbs, smoked scallops, eringi mushrooms, edamame, okra, paprika, carrot rapé. The scallops are sweet and delicious. No complaints at all. The level of completion is too high. …………………………………… ⚫Hichinai Jidori Chicken Breast with Horseradish Wow, this is also good. The sauce is almost French. The scent of Western horseradish matches well. …………………………………… ⚫White bread that doesn't interfere with the dish. Soak up the sauce without leaving any behind. …………………………………… ⚫Tsukune Burgundy Butter The crunchy cartilage adds a nice texture. "Tsukune Burgignon" made with cartilage-included Hichinai Jidori, with herb butter added to the meatballs. Garlic, herbs, and aromatic vegetables. The crunchy texture of the cartilage adds an accent. The rich flavor of the chicken meat that bursts in your mouth, along with the strength of the sauce, is commendable. …………………………………… ⚫Hichinai Jidori Chicken Breast with Shrimp Americaine The combination of shrimp and chicken breast is amazing! The chicken, slowly cooked over a charcoal fire, is very juicy. The firm texture of the shrimp is irresistible. The finishing of the sauce is perfect. …………………………………… ⚫Okukuji Gunkan Chicken Gizzard with Black Pepper Fun, fun ✨✨ Even the gizzard has such a delicious flavor. Unlike French cuisine, you can feel the strong umami of the ingredients. …………………………………… ⚫Hichinai Jidori Chicken Wings with Squid Ink Paella Chicken wings of Hichinai Jidori with squid ink paella. The vegetables are picolos and eggplants. Wow, it's delicious ✨✨ This is how the finishing of someone who understands cooking looks like. …………………………………… ⚫Hichinai Jidori Chicken Soup Hichinai Jidori chicken soup with finely chopped eggplant. A finishing of soup like never before. It's delicious. …………………………………… ⚫White Liver Madeira The sauce may be a bit too strong. However, the white liver is tender and of high quality. …………………………………… ⚫Hichinai Jidori Chicken Thighs with Scallions and Alber Simple finishing that allows you to fully enjoy the umami of Hichinai Jidori. …………………………………… ⚫Land-raised Squab with Red Wine Squab with a strong umami flavor. The finishing at the end really makes you feel the squab. ■Drinks ⚫Domaine Sanvasan 2019 1,100 yen Red wine from the Rhône. Grapes are Grenache and Syrah. Haha, a good choice. If they serve red wine of this quality, there's no room for complaints. ⚫Hitomi Winery 2020 1,500 yen Red wine from Shiga Prefecture. Grapes are Merlot. I prefer the red wine from the Rhône, but this one is not bad. Good wine choices. Enjoyed it! ■Service Properly done. ■Reasonable prices.
