高崎で美味しい焼鳥たべるならココ！ : Yakitori Shimizu

Today, I visited this place. It’s a yakitori restaurant in Takasaki City where you can enjoy delicious yakitori that is carefully grilled one skewer at a time, and it offers a wide selection of Japanese sake. I made a reservation for a JPY 4400 course in advance. The lively restaurant was full of energy. First, we started with beer and then enjoyed sake generously. Here’s what we had: ● Chicken Offal Stew ● Shingen Chicken, lightly poached, served with grated Japanese radish ● Maruhatsu (Chicken Heart) ● Negima (Chicken and Green Onion Skewers) with chicken neck ● Iburi-gakko (Smoked Daikon) with Cream Cheese ● Chicken Wings ● Chōchin (Chicken Tail) ● White Liver ● Ginger Stewed White Liver ● Grilled Amela Tomato ● Harami (Skirt Steak) ● Tsukune (Chicken Meatballs) These were the skewers we enjoyed. Additionally: ● Chicken Breast with Wasabi ● Quail Eggs ● Nagaimo (Japanese Yams) For the final dish: ● Chicken Soup Wow, it was delicious again this time. I had a blissful time with the cheerful owner and wonderful yakitori. I will definitely come back. It was a great meal.

Today, I visited this place. It's a yakitori restaurant located in Takasaki City. I came here with a friend from my hometown who lives in Takasaki. We reserved a table for 8 PM and ordered several rare cuts in advance. The restaurant is run by a handsome chef and two female staff members. The chef has the impression of a slimmer Hiromu Murofushi—truly a ‘mini Murofushi.’ Maybe the restaurant should be named "Yakitori Komurofushi" instead. Both the counter and table seats were fully occupied, creating a lively atmosphere. We started with some beer and then asked for chilled Japanese sake. Here’s what we had: ● Chicken Offal Stew ● Shinshu Chicken Breast (Yuhiki style) with spicy Japanese radish and freshly grated wasabi. Now, onto the skewers. ● Sabi-yaki Cooked to medium-rare perfection. ● Kashiwa (Chicken Thigh) Juicy thigh meat wrapped in crispy skin. ● Gunma, Tsukiyono Shiitake Mushrooms ● Gunma, Takasaki Quail The yolk was beautifully creamy. ● Yamagata, Kurakake Beans ● Chicken Skin with Ponzu ● Tsukune Tsukune finished with chicken neck meat and perilla leaf. Even though it was thoroughly cooked, the juices burst forth. ● Ginger Simmered Liver ● White Liver We additional ordered: ● Tsunagi Also known as Heart Aorta or Kokoro no Kori. ● Chicken Soup Ochazuke Served with a warm egg from the silky black chicken. Wow, it was delicious. The skewering and grilling techniques produced outstanding yakitori infused with wonderful charcoal flavor. The lineup of Japanese sake, featuring brands like Aramasa, was plentiful—over 100 varieties, I believe. The hospitality was excellent, making for an enjoyable time. It was a great meal.
