Description

This Tokyo transplant is one of New York’s rare Michelin-starred yakitori spots, pairing precise cooking with highly attentive service. The meal opens with a Sake Kasu Char Siu appetizer, notable for its rich sake lees aroma, before transitioning to a progression of juicy chicken skewers. The hospitality is defined by small, deliberate touches: staff personally greet every visitor, adjust your chair, and the chef walks you out at the end of the night.
