Yakitori Park

For a meal built around skewers, start with the substantial yakitori and the pleasure of choosing tsukune, a chicken meatball. One diner remarked that the yakitori pieces were large and satisfying; another named the tsukune as a personal recommendation. Some diners also commented on the flavour of the charcoal-grilled chicken, making this a good option for an evening centred on skewers.

There is more beyond the skewers. A diner who ordered fried chicken breast with the skin on and yagen cartilage said the generous portion also made an impression. Other menu options include chicken skin, chicken tail and thigh, as well as buttered eryngii mushrooms, grilled rice balls with cheese and potato salad. You could choose a few skewers, add a small plate or two, then finish with a grilled rice ball with cheese.

Drinks on the menu include draft beer, black-tea shochu highballs and Real Gold shochu highballs. The Nishitanabe Station-front branch is open from 18:00 until 2:00 the following day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, and from 17:00 until 2:00 the following day on Saturdays and Sundays. It is closed on Tuesdays. The restaurant is also described as suitable for solo dining, so it may suit an evening of skewers and a drink at the counter.
