Kuma no Yakitori 106 (熊の焼鳥106)

Kuma no Yakitori 106 is one of the Kansai region’s original members-only yakitori restaurants, requiring a PIN code for entry and holding continuous Tabelog Hyakumeiten yakitori WEST selection since 2018. The restaurant raises its own chickens specifically for the kitchen, controlling feed, free-range conditions, and butchering to chase what it describes as ideal umami and marbling. A head chef applies five distinct stages of heat control at the grill, seating all guests simultaneously across four fixed time slots in the Tenjinbashi entertainment district.
