Yakitori Kyoto Tachibana

Best yakitori I’ve had. All the dishes were crafted with Kyotamba chicken, a local secret with incredible flavor and tenderness. The skewers were grilled to perfection with golden crispy skin and juicy meat. Chicken sashimi, lightly flavored with shiso or soy sauce, tasted surprisingly clean and refreshing. Beyond the food, all the tableware from glasses to small plates are of a high standard of design. Highly recommended!

Outstanding chicken meal. Each stick is grilled to perfection w/ a hint of smokiness. No innards were served. We had the ¥11k set without sashimi. The more expensive set comes with chicken sashimi.

I dined here in November 2023. Since then, they have received a Michelin recommendation, and I will not be surprised when they are awarded a star. It will be deserved. Chef Sakata is warm and the meal is refined but relaxing. I had the standard course, which doesn't include the chicken sashimi. The meal uses various parts of the chicken and is so delicious. Each piece is set on a piece of daikon that is grilled at the end of the meal after soaking up the juices from the yakitori. When we dined there, the course included: yuba with sprouted peanuts; seared chicken breast; breast yakitori; thigh with green onion; ginko nuts; drumstick; chawanmushi; meatball; liver pate; inner thigh; wing; shimeji mushroom; chicken skin; daikon; chicken broth and noodles, with rice and sansho peppers to finish the broth; and persimmon and a grape for dessert. The clientele was a mix of Japanese and foreigners. I will return the next time I am in Kyoto, and it is a very fair price for the quality and amount of food.

The best yakitori I have ever had! The skin was crispy, and the chicken was tender and juicy. It's hard to believe that the owner is a self-taught chef. The only downside was that the air on the basement floor felt lacking in oxygen. I will definitely come back next time!

The best Yakitori in Kyoto. You can eat real Takasakadori here

Absolutely amazing, mind-blowing yakitori experience! Best food we've had in our Japan trips so far. Chef and all the staff members are really nice. Very looking forward to visiting again the next time we're in town.

Very good. Fresh

Outstanding! Attention Michelin, it should be 1 star, for the highest quality chicken, prepared with expertise. Highly recommend for a very unique experience. I speak some Japanese but the staff do speak a little English. Service is excellent and exhaust hood is very strong, almost no smell on clothes afterwards, it is expertly created space, and very comfortable at the counter. Enjoy!
