Charcoal Yakitori Omakase at an Intimate Bowery Counter
Sit at a charcoal counter where each yakitori course arrives straight off the binchotan, one skewer at a time.
🔥 Off the Charcoal Grill
The room sits low and dark at 46 Bowery, a U shaped blond wood counter wrapped around one charcoal grill. A chef in white works the binchotan through the whole meal, fanning the coals and turning skewers while a copper hood glows overhead. Courses arrive one at a time on small black plates, and each skewer reaches the counter straight off the coals at its own peak. Chicken shows up in several cuts and textures, each piece finished with a small garnish. Service stays quiet and precise, and regulars compare the night to premium omakase counters in Japan.
