Yakitori is a way of life in Japan. In Tokyo, there are hundreds of yakitori shops, each offering their own unique flavor and twist to the cuisine. Hakata Torikawa is one of the best at offering chicken skin skewers, with their famous recipe at the forefront of their menu.
We absolutely LOVE this causal restaurant, where you can quickly grab a beer and a few yakitori skewers. When you visit, be sure to order 5 or 10 of the famous torikawa skewers, we are sure you will ask for a repeat order! There are a few locations around Tokyo but we love the location in Nakano the best.
