My favorite shop 💕 Each and every dish is carefully and passionately prepared by the head chef. The photos are taken whimsically every time I go, so there are mixed ones besides what I had today, but whatever you order is delicious. Since only convincing ingredients are stocked, they sometimes sell out quickly. I recommend going right after opening. (Actually I want to keep it secret lol) Since it's run by just the chef and a part-time worker, making a reservation is recommended! Sashimi is a must ✨️ Since it's today's recommendation, the contents changing by day is one of the joys. All fish are fresh and melt away. The 4th and 5th photos look like meat, but they are "Seared Tuna". Your mouth will be full of happiness 1 Of course the skewers are also exquisite! For chicken, the chef carefully selects and stocks only those that meet his standards, so they are plump and juicy, making you think "What on earth was the yakitori I've been eating until now?" lol. The charcoal heat adjustment and seasoning are also exquisite ✨️ I dislike the cartilage texture or binder-like feel of tsukune, but the tsukune here is super fluffy and the charcoal-grilled aroma is the best. Curry flavor is especially my favorite 🫶 In 2026, the menu will be switched according to seasonal ingredients, increasing my anticipation further. The new menu I had this time was also delicious ✨️ ・Garland Chrysanthemum and Pork Shabu-shabu Salad: The combination of garland chrysanthemum bitterness, sesame oil, and lemon was exquisite! I thought of imitating the same combination at home. • New Burdock Root Sauce, Cured Mackerel, Genovese Bruschetta: This is also a surprising combination, but the genovese and cured mackerel acidity match immensely. The sauce also has a good aroma, fluffy and delicious! • Simmered Turnip: Simmered turnip was fried once and then topped with simmering broth. The turnip soaking up soup and soft batter was exquisite. In addition, single dishes, meat, grilled fish, finishing noodles or kamameshi, and final hojicha ice cream are all delicious! I'm already looking forward to the "Green Pea Croquette" that comes out past spring every year 💚

Thought it was a yakitori restaurant, but they also have sashimi! It was exquisite ♪ Today there were raw oysters, I was touched! Yakitori is the new recommended negima! Thick meat and plump! Couldn't order duck tsukune, but it's a specialty that is definitely the right choice! Flavor can be chosen from 5 types, but I always go with my favorite Yufuin mustard ❤️ There are also single dishes! Cured mackerel bruschetta is a dish you must order! Today with new burdock puree. The match with olive oil is also spot on, makes you want wine 😋 Truly a recommended shop!

Good atmosphere, luxurious feel, and above all great taste! There is commitment and careful preparation. All dishes are delicious! It was the best ever! Yakitori, duck, kamameshi, max! Also, smoked dishes match rocks and sake! I drank shochu, but there are also many kinds of sake. For a large number of people, all-you-can-drink is available.

Limited dry nama genshu of Mutsu Otokoyama brand. A sake characterized by citrus-like refreshing feel, faint gas feel, and dry aftertaste. Owner's comment: "Crisp sake that goes great with yakitori. Matches both chilled or hot" Impression drunk chilled is good drinkability, cleans oral fat. Thought it's a dry type easy to drink even for sweet lovers. ・Daizakari macho (590 yen) Gunma Prefecture Makino Shuzo Co., Ltd. Junmai Omachi 80% Nama. Label says "Low polished rice = protein image, macho junmai sake" Owner's comment: "This sake is delicious no matter how many times you drink it. Since encountering it 4 months ago, I buy it whenever it's at the liquor store. Characterized by smooth mouthfeel and freshness." Impression as a dry sake balancing umami and watery freshness, refreshing and easy to drink. ◇ Asunaro Exquisite Yakitori Just Keep Eating 'Skewer' Course (5800 yen/person) ① Eternal Cucumber 4 main pillar cucumbers, served with moromi miso. Turns out all-you-can-refine (including miso). Understood the meaning of eternal in the name, found myself refilling about 4 times (laughs) Cucumber is delicious. Refreshing without green smell, resets the mouth. ② 3-Kind Appetizer Assortment ・Smoked Potato Salad Surprising smoothness. Faintly fragrant smoke flavor is good. ・Daisen Chicken Moist Saliva Chicken Just eating this chicken surprised me by the quality of the ingredients. Umami spreads in the mouth. ・Fried Dofu and Omi Duck Agedashi Moved by the idea. Surrendered to agedashi tofu soaking up umami broth. ③ Duck Tsukune Surpassing Tsukune ・Duck Tsukune Yufuin Mustard Fluffy, chewy texture. Good meat quality, lingering umami. Mustard impressive for richness rather than spiciness. This is delicious, but knowing there are 4 other ways to eat raises expectations for future visits. ④ 6 Kinds of Yakitori ・Thigh Yuzukoshou (Salt) Fluffy texture. Yuzukoshou and fat umami match outstandingly. ・Wing Base (Sauce) Rich taste. Although smaller compared to others, strong presence. ・Wing Tip (Salt) Surrendered to crisply finished skin. Deliciousness making you want to eat again and again. ・Daki-mi Plum Flesh (Salt) Plum flesh with katsuobushi matches. ・Gizzard Garlic (Salt) Chewy gizzard is delicious. Fluffy garlic gives mellow taste. ・Neck (Sauce) Plump texture and fat richness coexist. Fitting as the end of yakitori. ⑤ Omi Beef A5 Fillet Charcoal-Grilled Skewer Chateaubriand medium rare finish. Since I've bought meat from Kiyo-no in Katano City several times, a coincidental encounter. Chateaubriand, nice to meet you (laughs) Overwhelmed by tenderness. After eating heavy chicken dishes, beef umami makes a luxurious flavor change. ⑥ Freshly Cooked Kamameshi Soy sauce-based aroma is amazing. Kamameshi colored by mushroom, burdock root, carrot, spinach vegetables, topped with separately grilled chicken thigh. Piping hot, okoge is also aromatic. If leftover, made into onigiri to take home. Too full, one bowl made into onigiri. ⑦ Asunaro Limited Hojicha Gelato Exquisite combination of sweetness, bitterness, and aroma. Too delicious, ended up eating it hurriedly. Ordered 2 soft drinks.
