Senkame (千亀)

Senkame is a long-established yakitori restaurant in Nagoya’s lively Sakae district, known for grilling prized Nagoya Cochin chicken over charcoal alongside a wide à la carte selection of skewers. Guests can choose their favorite cuts individually rather than following a set course, and the restaurant’s comfortable, nostalgic interior has made it a perennial favorite with locals. It has been repeatedly recognized as one of Tabelog’s Hyakumeiten yakitori restaurants. Expect a lively, often packed atmosphere on weekend evenings, so arriving early or calling ahead is recommended.
