from the chef:

I was born and raised on Kikaijima [an island in Okinawa], and I trained in Takatsuki, Osaka. But I’ve been in Fukuchiyama for twenty-nine years, as its the hometown of my wife. We run a restaurant for local people who want to try yakitori (grilled chicken) that stay true to the recipes of previous generations. The yakitori is finished with a secret sauce, but the rest of the menu is just as tantalizing. We have rare fresh fish like parrotfish and brown sugar that we get delivered from my parents’ home in the south. The restaurant has semi-private rooms that can accommodate large numbers and we are also often at restaurant events in the city.
