| - *You can order ramen from Kinton Ramen (which is downstair)
*The skewers are grilled over binchotan (white) charchoal. Binchotan is extra special because it burns at a lower temperature than regular charcoal but lasts longer.
*offers many other proteins and vegetarian choices as well - thus there is something for everyone here.
-Chicken Original Soup
The chicken original soup was actually the same broth that Kinton used for their chicken ramen. Despite its simplicity, I thought the soup was a great way to start the meal as it was light and not too fatty.
-Oshinko Moriawase (assorted housemade Japanese pickles)
This was my first time having pickled burdock root and I have to say, I'm a fan! With a pleasant crunchy and meaty texture, the pickle had a distinctive sweet flavor that was similar to lotus root.
-Negima (chicken thigh & Tokyo scallion)
The grilled chunks of scallion provided a slight sweet and smoky contrast to the tender and juicy chicken thigh
-Zuri (chicken gizzard)
The chicken gizzard was lightly salted and well-cooked. To describe the texture of the gizzard can be quite difficult, I would say the meat had that irresistible chewy, bouncy texture yet crunchy at the same time.
-Nikumiso Kuybetsu (cabbage salad with housemade chicken miso dip)
The cabbage itself was bland, however I thought it was the perfect vessel to hold the salty chicken miso dip!
-Tebasaki (chicken wing)
The chicken wing was done just right at Kintori Yakitory with a crispy charred skin yet still remained juicy inside.
-Uzura Kushi Age (panko breaded deep-fried quail eggs)
With each bite of the quail egg, you are getting some satisfying crunch from the panko crust. The sweet sauce complimented perfectly with the eggs and I thought this would be a nice snack to pair with beer to combat the grease.
-Premium Gyu tongue
if you would like to try organ meats and don't know where to start, I recommend trying beef tongue! The nice thing about tongue is that it is less organish than liver. The texture is quite soft and if you really pay attention while chewing, there seems to be a slight taste that is distinctive to tongue, but I'm pretty sure if you didn't know any better you wouldn't notice it
-Tsukune (chicken meatball)
The meatballs was "fluffy" and juicy, and with the sweet & salty caramelized glaze, the tsukune became incredibly addicting.
-Hatsu (chicken heart)
Did you know that chicken hearts, although slightly high in cholesterol, are rich in essential B vitamins and minerals?! These were tender with a surprisingly subtle red meat taste. In texture, they're softer than you might expect, with a hint of bounciness!
-Reba (Chicken Liver)
While the salty and sweet glaze was delicious, the texture of the chicken liver was a bit strange and I was not a fan of it. The liver became powdery and foamy once it hit your tongue.
-Asparagus (panko breaded deep-fried asparagus wrapped with bacon)
WHO DOESN"T LOVE BACON
-Negi Shio Gyu (beef with scallion sauce)
While the beef was well cooked, the star of this dish was the strong scallion sauce which provided just enough heat and sweetness to the skewer.
-Dashi Maki (Japanese omelette)
While I heard some people voiced how bland this was, I thought the dashimaki was the perfect way to end the meat-heavy courses! The omelette had a slightly sweet yet still savory flavor, and it still remained moist and soft!
-Yaki Onigiri (char-grilled rice ball with plum filling and sweet teriyaki sauce)
Since the rice ball was grilled, the onigiri had a subtle smokey flavor that only toasted rice can offer. The texture of the yaki onigiri was almost crunchy, yet chewy on the outside and soft on the inside. I loved how there was a nice contrast between the pickled plum and sweet teriyaki sauce of the filling.
-Houji Cha Brûlée (roasted green tea crème brûlée)
Is there anyone else who get so much pleasure in cracking that caramelized sugar to get to the smooth, rich cream beneath the creme brulee? I know I do! The roasted green tea taste was quite prominent in the creme brulee at Kintori Yakitori and it was also not too sweet either - love!
