Isehiro Description
Located in Tokyo, Isehiro is a renowned restaurant specializing in yakitori, or grilled chicken skewers. With a history spanning over 100 years, this establishment has mastered the art of preparing traditional and delicious yakitori. What sets Isehiro apart from other dining establishments is their commitment to using only the freshest ingredients and their dedication to preserving the authentic flavors that have remained unchanged for a century.
At Isehiro, each morning, fresh chickens are expertly prepared and grilled over binchotan charcoal, a type of charcoal known for its ability to enhance the flavors of the food. The skilled chefs at Isehiro also carefully select premium ingredients such as Senju negi (a type of green onion), shiitake mushrooms, and shishito peppers to accompany the yakitori, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
The restaurant itself is divided into three distinct areas, each offering a different ambiance - 'vibrant,' 'relaxing,' and 'celebratory.' This allows guests to choose the atmosphere that suits their preferences and enhances their dining experience. Whether you opt for their signature yakitori full course, which includes a variety of skewers from tender chicken breast to succulent chicken wings, or their healthy course featuring low-calorie options, Isehiro guarantees a memorable and satisfying meal.

The best yakitori I’ve ever had.
Be warned, this place is popular. We got here before opening time on a weekday for lunch, and there was already a big queue. It did move quite quickly though, because the place has a few floors.
The way this place works is that you can’t pick your exact skewers, you need to order a set (at least for lunch). I got the biggest set of 9 pieces because I wanted to try everything. Everything was great except two skewers that were liver or intestine or something. Besides those, everything was delicious.
Random note, but is it just me, or does Japan love to undercook their chicken? I’m not complaining, I haven’t gotten sick yet and it makes the chicken super tender.

Delicious. Visited during a family trip and both parents and siblings were satisfied. Juicy and savory taste is excellent. It's amazing how they cook chicken like this! Came in during lunch time on weekday and waited about 30 minutes. Reservation is recommended if possible. Of course, it's so delicious that you'll want to eat it even if you wait. So if you can't make a reservation, make sure to try walk-in. Highly recommended!
