Yakitori Toriyoshi Nakameguro

One of my go-tos for succulent grilled chicken.Toriyoshi founder Inomata has been credited with starting the upscale yakitori boom in Tokyo and beyond. The Nakameguro branch is one of my go-tos for succulent grilled chicken, in part because it's walk-in only, so you don't have to book in advance. Behind the wooden counter, a team of skilled chefs grill Date-dori chicken from Fukushima Prefecture over smouldering binchotan charcoal. They use every piece of the bird, but get there early if you want to order the chochin unfertilized eggs.
