Torishiki

Established in 2007 by renowned craftsman Yoshiteru Ikegawa, the founder of "Torishiki ICHIMON," Torishiki is a legendary yakitori restaurant. With over a decade of Michelin-star recognition, it has earned its reputation as one of Japan's most exclusive and sought-after dining experiences, often dubbed "the hardest yakitori reservation to secure."

The understated elegance of Torishiki's exterior welcomes guests into a refined setting that redefines the yakitori dining experience. The restaurant features just 12 seats, ensuring an intimate and tranquil ambiance where every detail enhances the focus on exceptional cuisine.

Torishiki's menu is an "omakase" experience, offering a curated selection of chicken delicacies prepared to perfection. Every skewer—from kashiwa (chicken breast) to seseri (neck meat) and sunagimo (gizzard)—epitomizes the balance of flavor, texture, and aroma. Each dish reflects the mastery of Ikegawa, elevating yakitori into an art form.

Reservations are available on the first business day of each month, for dining two months ahead. Due to overwhelming demand, securing a table requires patience and persistence, with phone lines often busy for extended periods.
