OHKUSA (オオクサ)

OHKUSA is a tiny eight-seat, counter-only yakitori bar tucked into the nightlife lanes of Arakicho, a short walk from Yotsuya-Sanchome Station. Widely regarded as one of Tokyo’s hardest reservations to secure, it grills each skewer with quiet, meticulous focus in an intimate space that bans photography of its interior. The restaurant is adults-only and keeps a tightly limited seating count, reinforcing its reputation as a connoisseur’s destination for charcoal-grilled chicken. Its concise, ingredient-driven course has earned it a devoted following among Tokyo’s yakitori enthusiasts.
