一蕃鶏 — Restaurant in Fujinomiya

We trusted the owner to choose our dishes, so we honestly don’t even know what we ate — but everything was incredibly tasty! This place is not touristy at all — it's full of locals, sitting on cushions on the floor, chatting and enjoying the vibe.

The grilled meat is cooked right behind the bar, and the amazing smell fills the whole restaurant — it’s impossible not to drool!

The owner speaks excellent English and made us feel totally at home. It was warm, authentic, and seriously one of the best meals we’ve had in Japan. Highly...

The best yakitori I have had in my life. I’ve had yakitori in places like NYC, LA, SF… it doesn’t even compare. The food was so good I didn’t even take photos. The smokiness and flavor is exquisite! The salt flavor is perfectly seasoned, so light yet lingers. Be sure to make a reservation as the place fills with locals nightly. Call from your hotel or stop by and make a reservations The chef’s sister speaks fluent English....

It was our first day in Fujinomiya, and we happily walked to a restaurant, only to find it fully booked. Fortunately, the kind owner helped us make a reservation for the next day. I can't remember the names of most dishes, but I loved the green chili with cheese, wings, and oyster rice. My kids enjoyed it too.

Special thanks to the owner for helping us when we got into trouble at the car...
