I think you don’t know how Yakitori is juicy and tasty yet. If you wish to know that, please visit TORISHIGE (鶏繁), Shinbashi, Tokyo.
It’s located on the main road corner just near Karasu-Mori Shrine. We can see its inside too by google street view !
The seats on counter is 13 on 1st floor and many tables on 2nd floor. I reccomend you to take the counter seat on 1st floor so that you can take freshly cooked Yakitori here !
You can order alacarte but “10 sticks course” is essential to know all kinds of Yakitori.
It includes below Yakitori variety with every unique charactor.
1. Sasami(ささみ) = chicken breast
2. lever(レバー) = chicken lever
3. Suna-Gimo(砂肝) = gizzard
4. Uzura-Tamago(うずら玉子) = quail eggs
5. Negi-Maki(ねぎ巻) = long onion
6. Dango(だんご) = munched chicke
7. Kawa(皮) = chicken skin
8. Momo-Niku(もも肉) = chicken thigh
9. Bon-Chili(ボンチリ) = chicken tail
10. Teba-Saki(手羽先) = chicken wing
Every stick has unique charactor and super delicious, which you can deeply impressed.
Especially I impressed No.1 above. Sasami, which is halfly no almost raw. It’s little bit sticky and its rich taste is fantastic. Honestly speaking, I was shamed as a Japanese that I didn’t know this Sasami until that time...
They have many kinds of alcohol. You can enjoy Shochu (焼酎) and Sake (日本酒). Normally I choose Shochu for Yakitori but here, Sake is better. Their line-up of Sake is super match with their unique Yakitori sticks.
The staff kindly pour much Sake into your glass !!
Hope you enjoy your first Yakitori experience here !!
