I chose this place because it seemed perfect for someone who loves to drink! It's a yakitori restaurant in Ningyocho. Everything was so delicious, I'm glad I chose this place! The liver sashimi was my personal No. 1 ✨ It was so delicious and had no off-putting smell! Most of the skewers were also delicious, and I thought it was definitely a popular place for a reason! I want to go back here again ✨ Thank you for the meal 😋 #NingyochoGourmet #Yakitori #Delicious #Gourmet #GatsuSashi #Skewers #BackAlleyRestaurant #TokyoGourmet #DeliciousFood

I was able to get a reservation for 5:30 PM on a weekday, Monday. It fills up quickly. * Sashimi platter * Liver sashimi * Skewer platter Everything was incredibly delicious. The chicken spleen skewer in particular was amazing. Cash only Smoking allowed Very crowded The staff are all very nice

【Good points】 This is a popular restaurant ranked in the Top 5000 on Tabelog, a Japanese restaurant review site. 🍺 Reservations on Saturdays are only accepted for 5:00 PM start times. The charcoal-grilled skewers are incredibly delicious, no matter what you order.🤤 They are quite substantial, and the flavor spreads throughout your mouth! Be sure to try the famous "reba-teki" (liver sashimi) and the "san-ten-zashi-mori" (three-point sashimi platter).☝️ Personally, I highly recommend the "reba-teki," but I think you'll understand why once you try it, so definitely give it a shot! All the skewers and other menu items were truly delicious, but we couldn't try everything because of the 90-minute time limit. I definitely want to come back and conquer the menu.🙂 You can only make reservations for the 5:00 PM start time slot on Saturdays. Be careful because you can't enter until everyone in your party is present.☝️ Otherwise, you'll have to come directly to the restaurant and wait in line, so reservations are essential! 【Not so good points】 None in particular. Instagram→ @office_workers_meal I've written down my honest thoughts on the good and not-so-good points, so please take it as one person's opinion.🙇

A popular izakaya tucked away in the back alleys of Ningyocho, perfect for a quiet drink (˶¯ 灬¯˵). The beer tastes amazing with the smoky aroma of the charcoal grill! The juicy and tender liver sashimi is a must-try!!!

The yakitori restaurant "Hyottoko" in Ningyocho. I was able to get in right away, luckily, as there was a wait shortly after. The place was smoky and packed. A draft beer was 715 yen, Asahi Super Dry. The "potemaka" (potato and macaroni salad) combo was 770 yen. Both were delicious. It's one of the few places where the macaroni salad is really good. They also served a simple appetizer of cucumber and cabbage with miso. It was simple but a bit tastier than what you'd get at other places. The "おまかせ" (chef's choice) 5-piece yakitori set was 1045 yen, grilled over binchotan charcoal. It included chicken thigh, cheek, skirt, stomach, and belly. The charcoal aroma was great, the grilling was perfect, and the ingredients were good. Everything was delicious. Overall, the yakitori was of a high quality. They also had a sashimi platter of offal, so the freshness and quality must be excellent. I also ordered a "hoppy" set (a Japanese beer-like drink) with white (550 yen) and an extra "naka" (the drink's base) for 280 yen. The "naka" wasn't very large, so with the extra one, it was about 1.5 servings. I'm not sure exactly, but the appetizer was probably around 330 yen. It's a bit of a chaotic place, but you can enjoy some high-quality food at a reasonable price.
