Shijo-Omiya's Tori Kagome attracts the eyes of food connoisseurs. A rising star who inherits the DNA of a famous restaurant.
August 20, 2023 open
The restaurant's black interior has a chic, low-lit atmosphere. When the light shines on the counter, it looks like a stage. The owner, Mr. Kato, appears in a clean white coat with a shaved head and hachimaki wrapped tightly around his head, full of enthusiasm. In front of the counter is the grilling area, which is Mr. Kato's permanent position. We use binchotan charcoal and a high near-fire grill, which is our style," he said. It prevents the moisture of the ingredients from being lost and makes the meat moist and tender." He controls the heat with a fan and keeps twirling the skewers with his other hand.
Because of the high heat and thickness of the chicken, advanced techniques are required, and the way the chicken is grilled with artisan skill is nothing short of magnificent. Mr. Kato was formerly with Torisaki, a famous yakitori restaurant. As soon as he started his own restaurant, he became popular among food connoisseurs, and on the first day of each month, his website, which allows reservations for the following month, is immediately filled with reservations. Ten years ago, I dreamed of opening my own yakitori restaurant," he says. It is only with the support of the locals and everyone else that I have been able to do this.
The fact that he chose the last letter of the restaurant's name, "Go," from the local name "Daigo," is a reflection of his gratitude. Mr. Kato's humble attitude from start to finish, along with his proven skills, is sure to win him many more fans in the future.
The shoulder (the base of the wing) is particularly thick, making it difficult to control the heat, so it is grilled slowly and rotated frequently.
The chicken wings, which Mr. Kato describes as "the yakitori of origin," are steamed and then grilled using a method from his mother's hometown of Aoi Ku, Shizuoka City.
