Yakitori Shige Higashizakura (焼き鳥 茂 東桜)

Yakitori Shige Higashizakura is an upscale, reservation-only yakitori restaurant near Kuyakudori Station in Nagoya, specializing in whole Nagoya Cochin hens that are dry-aged in-house for maximum depth of flavor. Each skewer, from juicy momo thigh to a binder-free tsukune, is grilled over premium Owari binchotan charcoal for a delicately smoky, charred finish. The omakase course runs from refined appetizers through to a signature clay-pot rice finale, served at an open counter or in private rooms ideal for special occasions.
