Booking here is basically impossible so a review is pretty much a theoretical exercise. But...
This is the best yakitori I've ever had. There is basically zero charring and almost no use of tare yet there are abundant textural contrasts. The rendering of skin on items like soriresu and bonjiri is magical.
Price is about double other high end yakitori and drink prices are off the charts, but this place can charge whatever it wants.

A shop in Kagurazaka, Tokyo.
This is a store where photography and videography are strictly prohibited.
I went with a gourmet friend from Hiroshima and a gourmet friend from Tokyoâª
Among the world's only sterile rare chickens, Takasaka chicken,
This is the only restaurant in the world where you can eat the highest quality ``Takasaka Chicken Kasahara Chicken'' and is extremely difficult to reserve.
Complete two-part system from 17:30 and 20:45.
The owner, Mr. Yuhito Kasahara, is dandy and kind.
The love for yakitori is top class in Japan âš
Not only charcoal but also the now rare Kishu Bincho charcoalâš
As the grill is being heated, a large fan is waved several times with serious eyes, but you cannot see inside the specially made large brick grill, and although the top is covered with glass, you may or may not be able to see it even if you stand up. So it's like a treasure boxâš
The expertly cooked yakitori that is served from the magical Tamatebako grill table is truly impressive in every wayâš
The most notable thing is that most of the skewers are iron skewers (maybe aluminum skewers).
Even if it touches your mouth, you won't get burned.
Sophisticated pasteurization to the inside of the chicken using iron skewers âš
Bamboo skewers were also used either thick or thin.
Every time I go, it's getting more and more advanced, and it's a high-class dish that looks more like yakitori than yakitoriâš
Although the price is high-end, it is the best yakitori that you should try at least once in your life (*^âœ^*)
