Toriichizu Description
Located just a short walk from Sumiyoshi Station in Kobe, Toriichizu is a traditional yakitori restaurant that specializes in bringing out the best flavors of Anami Jidori, a local breed of chicken. With its warm and inviting atmosphere, this restaurant is the perfect place to indulge in the ultimate yakitori experience.
The skilled chefs at Toriichizu use Binchotan charcoal to slowly grill the chicken, resulting in tender and juicy skewers that are bursting with flavor. While you can order a la carte, the 'omakase' or chef's choice menu is highly recommended. This allows the chefs to showcase their expertise and creativity by selecting the best ingredients of the day and preparing them in unique and delicious ways.
One of the standout dishes at Toriichizu is the 'tsukune,' a chicken meatball skewer that is incredibly flavorful and moist. Another must-try is the 'negima,' which features succulent pieces of chicken thigh and leeks grilled to perfection. Pair your meal with a selection of sake or shochu to enhance the flavors of the yakitori.
With its dedication to using high-quality ingredients and its commitment to bringing out the best flavors of Anami Jidori, Toriichizu sets itself apart from other yakitori restaurants in the area. Whether you're a fan of yakitori or looking to try it for the first time, this restaurant is a must-visit for any food lover.

Visited "Yakitori Ichimatsu".
Tabelog AWARD for 5 consecutive years in the past.
This is a famous restaurant that has been awarded one Michelin star.
I made a reservation for Saturday at 5pm.
1. Assorted free range chicken sashimi (5 types)
・I forgot to ask for it when making the reservation, so there was no white liver.
It became breast, heart, liver, sand, and chicken fillet.
・Every part is fresh and very delicious!
Among them, the sand zuri was outstanding, including its texture.
・I didn't prepare properly and order white liver.
I regret it.
2. Set of 6 free range chicken skewers
① Tsukune (salt)
・It will fall apart in your mouth.
It looks like it's half-cooked, perfectly cooked and delicious.
②Heart
・This also seems to be rare and is perfectly pasteurized.
It's juicy, fatty, and very delicious.
③Sand sliding
・The texture is crispy and delicious!
④Momo (female)
- Greasy and soft
⑤Momo (male)
・Muscular and meat has a strong flavor!
⑥Skin
・Excellent pasteurization! Crunchy texture and fatty flavor
The best!
⑦Addition: Chicken wings (male)
・You can get both males and females, but I ordered the male at the recommendation of the shop owner.
・This is also outstanding! Both the fat and meat are delicious!
3.Oyakodon
・One word is amazing! Roasted fragrant chicken thighs
A super rich egg in a soup stock full of flavor from kelp and bonito flakes
It's very delicious together.
It was delicious till the end.
