Yakitori Abe (やきとり阿部)

Formerly known as Garasu, Yakitori Abe has been selected for the Tabelog Hyakumeiten yakitori ranking in 2021, 2024, and 2025 from its home near Meguro Station. The kitchen builds its menu around Date chicken from Fukushima, applying a close-fire, strong-fire binchotan technique with Kishu charcoal to achieve crisp skin and a juicy interior, and rounds out the courses with seasonal vegetables sourced directly from farms nationwide. Certified sommeliers guide pairings from a curated sake and wine list in the fourteen-seat, non-smoking dining room. On Sunday and Monday nights, a related project called Ura Abe lets the restaurant’s younger chefs take over the counter.
