Liberty (Ribatei)
Authentic yakitori dining in suburban Yokohama will leave you smiling in total satisfaction.
Restaurant Details
Stray away from the tourist-heavy streets of Yokohama’s famous Chinatown and you’ll discover a range of great Japanese dining experiences.
This yakitori (grilled chicken) restaurant near Kannai Station dates back to the 1940s, now in the hands of its third-generation owner Tomotsugu Sakakibara. Here you’ll find authentic Japanese food with a true local feel; less glossy and polished than the downtown places.
Ribatei is a sacred spot for yakitori lovers around the country. They flock here to be served the best pieces of chicken, including the windpipe, gizzard, heart, neck, skin, breast — all served in an omakase set-course meal which just keeps coming until your time is finished (or you can't possibly eat any more).
Be sure to leave a little space so you can handle the curry powder fried rice — a house speciality served at the end of every meal.
