Restaurant Details
Stylish Nakameguro is one of the best places in Tokyo for boutique shopping, classy drinking, cherry blossom viewing, and fine dining. If it’s not already on your itinerary, you’d best put it on now. If you don’t, you’ll miss out on a meal at one of the best yakitori restaurants in Tokyo!
KushiWakaMaru serves great-value, great-tasting skewers to a dedicated following of locals. There’s an English menu available to help you navigate the choices, which range from assorted chicken and vegetable skewers to larger dishes like rice drowned in tea. Yakitori is nothing without a drink on the side, so the beers and other drinks here are some of the best priced in the area.
Grab a seat at the side of the counter opposite the door to get the best view of the chefs fanning the skewers with paper fans. This is the sort of place you could lose yourself for hours, in a haze of smoke, scents, and sake. Make sure to book in advance — the seats fill up fast during peak times.
