"Hideto Takeda is so enthusiastic about Hinai chicken that he travels back and forth to Akita. The chicken’s charm is in its smooth texture and light fat. Breast meat comes with soy sauce and wasabi, and chicken meatballs are placed on rough-hewn spicebush skewers and grilled. But it goes beyond just yakitori, with pâté, dry-cured ham, soup and numerous other accompaniments. His respect for the producers is evident in the set menu, which speaks of his fascination with chicken." - Michelin Inspector
