"On Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, this yakitori-ya was elevated by chef Tatsuro Tsuchiya over several years; it’s one of the few local yakitori shops that grills skewers over binchotan charcoal, and is part of Masashi Nabeta’s restaurant group. Tsuchiya will be leaving his post behind its grill at the end of March to open his own restaurant." - Candice Woo
