About
Welcome to a culinary gem tucked away in the heart of Tokyo—Torishige Shibadaimon. Renowned for its exceptional yakitori, this modern yet cozy restaurant captivates diners with an atmosphere that blends traditional Japanese hospitality with contemporary elegance. Located at 1 Chome72, Daimon Tama Hill 1F, Minato City, the vibrant setting is a feast for the eyes, just as the menu is a feast for the palate.
As a food reviewer at Foodjoyy, I am always on the lookout for places that elevate dining into an experience. At Torishige Shibadaimon, the service shines, with a friendly staff who genuinely can make your evening special. Patrons rave about the attentiveness and positive energy that enhances the dining experience. It's more than just a meal; it's an invitation to relax and embrace the joy of good food.
The star of the show, of course, is the yakitori. Customers have spoken highly of the variety and quality offered here. Each skewer is crafted with care, showcasing different parts of the chicken. Whether you're venturing into the daring world of half-cooked delicacies like liver and heart, or opting for comforting favorites like the chicken noodle soup and oyakodon, be prepared for a taste sensation. Every bite tells a story, wrapping you in a rich tapestry of flavors that are both familiar and exhilarating.
Yet, as several reviewers aptly pointed out, this isn’t the spot for a budget meal. It sits squarely in the premium category. A meal for two can reach 14,000 ¥, and while the prices may not cater to every pocket, the quality of the ingredients and the expertise behind each dish make it justifiable. Be mindful that foreign guests usually receive a set menu, and prices listed may not include tax, adding an element of surprise to your bill.
And let’s not overlook the sake! A delightful accompaniment, it perfectly complements the array of flavors found in the yakitori. For those looking to fully embrace the experience, the omakase option comes highly recommended, allowing you to sample a variety of skewers and savor the chef’s best creations.
In essence, Torishige Shibadaimon invites you to step into a world of exquisite flavors and warm hospitality. It’s a place where each meal promises both satisfaction and adventure, making it a must-visit for anyone willing to explore the high art of yakitori. If you're ready for a dining experience that leaves a lasting impression, look no further than this Tokyo treasure.
“ Came on a Monday night at 7pm. Place wasn't too busy. I came to there shinbashi location and loved it and this location doesn't disappoint. This one is more fancy and modern in design compared to shinbashi but the food quality is just the same. Service is fantastic and the staff are very friendly. Again same as shinbashi it's not cheap chicken sticks so of your after something cheap then here is not the place. ”
“ Yakitori here is so good. The staff are all friendly and love a good time. They have delicious sake too ”
“ We stumbled upon this restaurant in a side alley near Daimon by chance. It was our first yakitori experience. The place had a cozy, traditional atmosphere, and the staff were friendly. For two people, we paid around 14,000 ¥ for a set menu that included five skewers, a few small side dishes, and two glasses of sake. Nothing was cheap, but the food tasted good. However, foreign guests only receive a set menu, and oddly, the prices listed do not include tax. Overall, the taste was good, but I’m not sure I would personally recommend it. ”
“ One of the best yakitori I ever had. They offer different parts of Yakitori. Some of the yakitori are only half cooked (be prepared), including liver, heart...but all taste good. In addition to the yakitori, the chicken noodle soup is a must try...and the oyakodon is yummy as well. The restaurant offer very attentive service, decent, clean, and detailed... One thing I like is they provide a traditional Japanese chopstick, a very fancy one, not the recycle one..they are working hard to run the restaurant. One thing to be noted, the food price is not displayed in the Japanese menu...but I can tell they charged a fair price to what I had. Recommended! ”
“ Best yakitori I've ever had. The owner is incredibly sincere and kind, keeping customers entertained. The omakase is most recommended as you will experience different types of skewers. Highly recommended. ”
“ Very good chicken skewers. Nice service. ”
“ Had a lovely time this evening sat at the counter. Both chefs were very friendly. As anglophones, my wife and I were treated generously and with smiles. Not cheap, but I recommend it highly for an evening out. ”
