I went with the more reasonably priced Omakase course. After the grilled items, you can add various rare cuts. *Of course, for an extra charge. Every cut looked so tempting, so I added 3 kinds. If I could, I would have liked to add about 8 kinds, but I was already full. A great restaurant all around!

The interior had a calm atmosphere, and the service was polite and pleasant. The yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) was as good as ever, and the à la carte dishes had a refined taste. The nori (seaweed), tsukemono (pickles), uni (sea urchin), and maguro (tuna) were all especially fresh and surprisingly delicious. With the All you can eat style, we could enjoy everything to the fullest, and the 5 yakitori skewers left us completely Manzoku.

It was a course meal, but both the yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) and the drinks were very good!! It’s an elegant restaurant, and the staff were very kind, so it felt comfortable and we had a great time!

Kyotanba jidori (Kyotanba free-range chicken) is firm yet surprisingly juicy, with just the right charcoal aroma and seasoning. The negima and tsukune in particular are especially well done and so good they make you pause. The recommendations for Japanese sake and wine to pair with the yakitori are spot on and really lift the overall Manzoku of the meal. The service strikes a comfortable balance, making this an easy choice for special occasions and grown-up dinners alike.

Each skewer shows the skill of the chef and brings out the best in every ingredient. The a la carte dishes made with seasonal ingredients and pairings with seasonal Japanese sake are also part of the appeal.

We had the course meal, and everything from start to finish was really delicious. Partway through, we started wanting rice and said we would save it for the end, but the yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) left us Manpuku. They served each skewer fresh off the grill right away, so it was tender and very tasty.

Of course they have standard skewers like negima (chicken and scallion skewer), momo (thigh), and seseri (neck meat), but they also offer cuts like chochin (immature egg and oviduct) and soriresu (oyster cut), so you can really get a full sense of the wide appeal of Hinai jidori (premium Akita native chicken).

As always, the tsukune (chicken meatball skewer) that comes out first is insanely good. When it comes to tsukune, I’ve never had a better one than the one here. Of course, the other skewers are tasty too. But this place’s biggest strength is definitely the wine! The pricing on Burgundy wines is unbelievably low. They have everything from aged bottles to young ones.

Just a 2-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Higashi-Ginza Station, Hakata Mizutaki to Yakitori Torizen Ginza Ten stands in a quiet spot. In a calm Japanese-style space that makes you forget the bustle of Ginza, you can enjoy yakitori made with Hanamidori (a chicken breed from Kyushu) from Kyushu.
The 1st floor has counter and table seating, while the basement level and 2nd floor have fully private rooms.

They use Hanamidori (a branded chicken) raised at free-range poultry farms surrounded by nature. It is low in fat, with rich flavor packed into the meat, so you can enjoy the chicken’s natural taste. It is also said to be very tender and delicious.
You can enjoy it through the three kinds of "Yakimono Kaiseki" course menus or à la carte.

The interior is stylish, with a Semi-private room feel. The service was also polite, making it a pleasant place to dine. Each dish was delicious, and the yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) was so tender. The udon at the end came in a chicken broth simmered for a long time. I heard the mizutaki (chicken hot pot) is very good, so next time I’d like to come for the mizutaki!

Chicken sasami (tenderloin) just as it is. No doubt about it! For the chicken liver, add sansho (Japanese pepper) if you like. Tasty with no off notes! Bonjiri (chicken tail) with black pepper. Nice and rich with fat! Nankotsu (cartilage) Kara-age with ponzu sauce. A go-to snack. Karashi mentaiko (spicy cod roe). Pop it on cucumber and take a bite. So good! Chicken skin, with the meat left as is between the skin and skin. Crispy! Tsukune (chicken meatball). Good volume, and the sauce is nice too!

Skilled chefs carefully skewer each one by hand every day. They slowly grill them over binchotan (high-grade white charcoal). Each skewer is said to be cooked just right, with a juicy taste.
If you are not sure what to order, the Omakase course with 5 or 8 skewers is a good choice. For the a la carte menu, you can order from 2 skewers of each kind.

They also offer a wide range of chicken-based à la carte dishes, including Kara-age and chicken soup. You can really enjoy chicken to the fullest here. They also stock Japanese sake that pairs well with yakitori.
The Omakase (assorted varieties available yakitori + quail eggs + vegetables) 8 skewers came out at a nice pace, and I kept digging into the piping hot yakitori while the lemon sour went down way too easily. The negi salad (green onion salad) and the chicken soup at the end were also excellent. Everything was delicious. The prices are low, and it is a place I would love to visit again.

You can choose either salt or tare sauce for the yakitori (grilled chicken skewers), but I chose salt for everything. The seasoning was just right and went great with drinks. Rather than being grilled to a crispy finish on the outside, many of the skewers were cooked moist and soft, and the bonjiri (chicken tail) in particular was so fluffy and tasty that I ended up ordering another one at the end!

In addition to 8 skewers, this course comes with a salad and small side dishes. The pairing brings out wines to match the meal. In particular, the famous foie gras tsukune skewer is outstanding.
