Torishiki, located in the vibrant city of Tokyo, Japan, offers a unique and elegant yakitori dining experience that is as much about the ambiance as it is about the food. With a Michelin star to its name, this restaurant boasts a chic atmosphere where patrons can enjoy grilled chicken skewers paired with fine wines, all without the usual smoky haze that accompanies such dishes. The dining style here is omakase, meaning you can simply inform the chef of your preferences, and he will continue to serve a delightful array of skewers until you signal to stop. The restaurant is particularly famous for its chochin, an exquisite delicacy made from unlaid eggs, which has captured the hearts of many diners. With a reputation built on quality and skill, securing a reservation can be quite the challenge, making it a coveted spot for food enthusiasts.

The atmosphere of this restaurant is chic and elegant and customers drink wine with Yakitori. There is no smoke at all in this restaurant though they serve grilled chicken baked on charcoal. In fact, this restaurant has been awarded one Michelin star. The restaurant does not really have a food menu. You just ask what you like and what you do not like, and the chef will serve you till you tell him to STOP. Trust and leave it all up to the chef. Chochin (lantern) is the egg still not born from a hen. It spread out in your mouth as you chew it. This is the highlight of this restaurant. Anyway, all are very delicious. Everything is perfect, so this restaurant is very hard to make a reservation. They take reservations on the first business day of the month for dinners 2 months later by telephone.
I tried calling them more than 50 times on first day. Phone busy for two hours. Just a waste of time. Next day they said everything booked. I think they made it seem hard to get reservations to increase their popularity… nothing else. No respect fo people’s time
The chicken skewers were delicious and the grilled chicken was a tasty delight. Our dining experience was very good and the service was excellent.
There is yakitori and then there is Torishiki yakitori, taking the simple grilled meat on a stick to a very high level, using parts of the chicken your tongue will not realize, but you will not be able to forget.
