This hidden gem is tucked away in a side street of Kagurazaka, exuding a charming old-school vibe. Our specialty is skewers grilled over binchotan charcoal, offering a wide variety from classic to unique options, all starting at just JPY 158 each.

Among the favorites are the sesame tsukune, grilled to perfection and generously coated with sesame, and the juicy, sweet tomato-wrapped pork belly, both highly praised!

Don't miss out on the fresh white liver sashimi, a must-try dish.

The interior features a calm atmosphere with smooth jazz playing in the background...
