Yamamoto (焼鳥 山もと)

Yakitori Yamamoto is a well-loved, counter-only yakitori restaurant in a basement space near Mitaka Station in Musashino, Tokyo. The owner grills each skewer with careful, hands-on attention as part of an omakase-style course, drawing a devoted local following that returns again and again. Reservations must be made online in advance through the restaurant’s website, since phone bookings are not accepted, and seating is limited to sixteen counter seats. The restaurant is closed on Sundays.
