There are many long-established Muroran yakitori restaurants, but few have gained the support of local families, businessmen, and tourists due to their affordability and wide variety of menu items. In this sense, it is no exaggeration to say that Yakitori Ippei is a representative of the current "Muroran Yakitori.

Even if you don't like yakitori, you won't have a problem because there is a wide range of choices. The prices are also reasonable, and hey, when you pay your bill, you feel like you are...
