A few minutes’ walk from the north exit of Tachikawa station, a very stylish and unique restaurant suddenly appears on the corner of the street. When we excitedly stepped into the restaurant, we found that it was a Yakitori restaurant full of good flavor with friendly and lively atmosphere.

The concrete exterior wall gives an impression of modern Japanese atmosphere. You will be drawn into the warm cozy atmosphere with gentle lights from the inside.

Enjoy a lively cook by the staff in front of the bar counter table. On the second floor, other types of seats such as Kotatsu style and private rooms are available. You can enjoy both alone and as a group.

Tasty brown Yakitori grilled on a charcoal grill with a strong fire is the specialty of the restaurant. Its traditional cooking of Edo-style makes Yakitori much more juicy and softer.
