About this place
Straight from the grill at Shirokane Toritomo, each skewer stands out for its generous size. Biting into plump, springy morsels full of juicy richness highlights what makes freshly grilled yakitori so appealing. An easy entry point on the menu is the half-course, which features 6 skewers: wasabi-topped breast (sabi-yaki), chicken liver, tsukune meatballs, perilla-wrapped chicken, negi-wrapped chicken, and chicken thigh. With each piece carrying substantial presence, the half-course alone delivers real satisfaction. Diners looking for more can choose the full 12-skewer course, which adds ginkgo nuts, quail eggs, chicken skin, and chicken wings.
Between skewers, a diverse range of side dishes fills the table with comfort. Small plates such as sweet, crisp sweetcorn kakiage and fragrant teba mentai (stuffed chicken wings) keep the mood lively. For finishing the meal, options span from dashi-simmered chicken zosui porridge and oyakodon chicken-and-egg bowls to light shio ramen and the popular black fried rice, letting you tailor the final stretch to your appetite.
The drink lineup ranges broadly, from The Premium Malt's with its velvety "Kami-Awa" head and Sapporo Lager to sake bottles from across Japan, including Aramasa and Hakurakusei, alongside reds and whites curated to complement the grill. Inside, the understated dining room offers counter seats, tables, and private rooms, accommodating groups or solo diners at their own pace. Because dinner service often fills up completely, reserving a table before you go is recommended.
