August 1, 2024 open

Gion Torijyu (Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture) is a yakitori restaurant where you can enjoy a course of jidori and gamecock from various regions of Japan. The brand of chicken is determined by the day's purchases, so it is a treat when you visit. A variety of chickens are available, including Hinai Jidori from Akita Prefecture, Ehime Jidori from Ehime Prefecture, Shinshu Kogane Shamo from Nagano Prefecture, and Tokyo Shamo.

We use high-heat Tosa binchotan (binchotan charcoal) to grill the skewers close together over high heat to lock in the flavor and juices, making them crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside," says Mr. Yoigi, a veteran chef with 25 years experience.

Yakitori course from 11,000 yen: Nagoya Coach thigh meat. Nagoya Cochin, also known as the king of local chickens, has a strong flavor and elastic texture. Salt from Kochi Prefecture brings out the flavor of the ingredients.

Since the fat content, thickness of the skin, and meat quality differ depending on the type of chicken, the chef selects the part of the chicken that gives the best taste of each and uses different grilling methods to create the best taste.

Tsukune, a hearty dish with a rich meat flavor, is served with the restaurant's signature sweet and spicy sauce. All wines are from Italy. From 1,000 yen per glass

The course is designed to be well-balanced so that you will never get tired of it, such as the soft and juicy Jidori chicken followed by the muscular and chewy Gundori chicken. Italian wines are the restaurant's top recommendation, so enjoy the marriage of yakitori and Italian wines.
