Nihonbashi Toriyoshi — Restaurant in Tokyo

Wonderful place! Found it by accident thanks to a discrete coppersign with only a bottle of sake and a meatskewer (yakitori). The door led down to a very cozy and neat room with about 16 seats. We ordered the chefs menu (omakase) of 8 yakitori, each consisting of perfectly prepeared pieces of chicken. Each yakitori was a different cut of meat, so you could really enjoy the different textures of every cut.

The place seemed to be run by a family, and everyone was contributing to a very authentic experience. The place appeared to also attract the kindest and nicest locals, whose small talk with us, each other and the chef created a relaxed atmosphere and made us feel more than welcome.

Oh, and if you're lucky, you can get a seat at the counter and watch the chef prepare the yakitori.

Highly recommend to make a reservation in advance! The best pieces of chicken i have ever tasted! Oishii...

春の鶏ひつまぶし定食1650円を注文。

◆立地…☆☆☆ 馬喰横山駅から南西へ徒歩3分。 幅広い清洲橋通りから1ブロック西へ入り、両側に歩道や並木のあるゆったりした「みどり通り」に面した、５階建てのオフィスビルの地下1階。 アプローチは階段で降りる隠れ家的なもの。 入口ドアの古木による把手や暗めの照明により、内装への期待が高まった。

◆間取り・内装デザイン…☆☆☆☆ 店内は狭く、入ってすぐに4+4席のＬ型カウンター、その前に厨房。 奥に４人テーブル×2、2人テーブル×1。 内装は高級感があり、ベージュの天井と壁、茶の小石を敷き詰めた床、分厚い天然木のカウンターやテーブルなどによる上品な和風デザイン。

◆運営・雰囲気…☆☆☆ 厨房は男性1人、接客に女性1人。 白い割烹着を着た料理人の男性も、着物を着た接客の女性も若く、対応も柔らかでありながらハキハキしていて気持ちの良いものだった。 店内は早い時間帯のためか、他の客は無し。 BGMは 児玉奈央 & Kan...

You don’t see many upper class yakitori restaurants with such an nice atmosphere. The staff and chefs are very welcoming and helpful. The food and quality itself is great, even though it’s a little bit pricy, it’s totally worth it. Great experience, nothing compared to any...
