About this place
The signature chicken skin skewers are an obvious place to start at Torikawa-hitoshio. Diners have praised the time taken to prepare and grill them, with one saying they could eat them “one after another”. The skewers let you choose among different cuts of chicken, including skin, freshly prepared negima with spring onion, tsukune meatballs and seseri (chicken neck).
Reviews also single out kan and shiso-wrapped skewers. There are non-chicken skewers and small plates too, so you can keep yakitori at the centre of the meal while adding a few different bites. The tori-sashi, lightly seared chicken tenderloin served with a house-made wasabi sauce, is another option between skewers.
Finish with chicken soup. Reviewers mention enjoying it at the end of their meal, and the menu notes that one bowl per person is free. Grilled rice balls and a yakitori rice bowl are also available, whether you are having drinks with a few skewers or looking for a more substantial meal.
Dinner reservations are accepted, and diners who booked have reported that the seats were filling up. If you have a particular evening in mind, it may be worth reserving ahead.
