Yakitori Imai

Fresh, juicy, and generous chicken aside, the tomato, spaghetti squash, and the ginkgo nuts were outstanding, and I wish I could come for a vegetable only set course one day. The innards were impressive but it was the more conventional cuts of meat that showed off their mastery of the craft. I personally prefer more char and smokiness but was happy with my experience. I did find the sake caramel dessert a bit too bitter.

Worth noting is the extensive list of natural wines available on top of beer and sake. And the service was seamless at every point.

Delicious meal for our first evening in Tokyo. Small, stylish restaurant, with outstanding service. We had a set menu with around 15 plates. They have good knowledge about sake, so worth trying this there.

Gourmet yakitori. The food is of very high quality and so is the wide range of wine and sake available. Only downside is that they don't do small carb dishes (e.g. a garlic fried rice) but I was given a small bowl of white rice for free. Definitely need to make a reservation in advance. It was packed to the gills all night.
