Sumibiyakitori Kichizo (炭火焼鳥 きち蔵)

Sumibiyakitori Kichizo has earned three straight years of Tabelog Hyakumeiten yakitori WEST selection from 2023 through 2025, building a steady following near Awaza Station for its charcoal-grilled skewers. The sixteen-seat restaurant, split between counter and table seating, keeps a refined yet relaxed atmosphere, a non-smoking policy, and a cash-only house rule that has done nothing to slow its popularity. With well over three hundred reviews and a strong Tabelog rating, it remains one of the more consistently well-regarded yakitori counters in the Nishi Ward dining scene.
