Yakitori Matsuri

The Yakitori Maturity Restaurant is a disappointment. The food is mediocre at best, and the prices are not cheap. I ordered the chicken skewers, and one of them is nearly raw. The service was also subpar. The staff has a problem understanding in English. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. There are much better Michelin star yakitori restaurants in the area that offer better food and definitely value for money.

This hidden gem in Osaka serves the best yakitori chicken I've ever eaten to date. I truly mean it when I say the quality here is like no other! Their standard 16-course dinner menu is currently priced at ¥11,000 per person and they only have 13 seats in the restaurant so make sure to book in advance! The entire experience is totally worth the price imo as it has completely changed my perception of chicken. It's not typically my go-to protein source when given the choice, but every bit of chicken we were served was super tender! I think it's to do with the breed of chicken they used because some of the pieces were able to served medium rare and it tasted absolutely delicious. Highly recommend checking this place out.

I booked a yakitori omakase restaurant believing that it was a Michelin Bib Gourmand. I ate 13 courses and every single one of them melted in mouth. There are many different types of highballs, but they are all delicious. The chicken broth ramen served at the end was truly excellent, and I was even more surprised that the price of this course was less than 8,000 yen. It's difficult to make a reservation, but you must stop by if you come to Osaka. Highly recommended.

Tried their short course (4pm section). It was very reasonably priced and food quality are at top level. Staffs were friendly and funny, who also shared with us on type of chicken and coal used. Most yakitori restaurants in HK which may cost you few thousands HKD aren’t even close to this quality. Definitely worth the Michelin star award! Will definitely come back for their long course next time!

It is like Michelin starred quality of yakitori for the price! They know what they are doing. Grilled flavor and crunchy texture, juicy chicken make it even more special. Hinai Jidori chicken is the next level in terms of flavor, texture. 2024,7,12 update Most of skewers are extremely salty, the presentation is different from the last year. I took my family to this small yakitori-ya to give them a great experience of japanese yakitori. I noticed that they are not on the right track in terms of flavor, seasoning.

This is one of the best experiences in Japan. If you want to experience the best quality chicken humans can make, then this better be your choice. Food quality, service, atmosphere, everything was on point.

This was one of the most fun dinners we have had in a long time. We ordered a 17 course dinner that included so many different yakitori that I cannot even name them all. A lot were chicken but everything was very good. The service was good and the english speaking staff made this place a very fun way to experience Osaka night and food scene. The entrance is a bit unassuming if you do not speak/Japan but once you find it you will be greeted with an amazing wait staff.

ARPIL 2023 This is a sibling restaurant to Yakitori Ichimatsu serving an omakase course using Hinai chicken breed from Akita. It is not your traditional yakitori store serving standard chicken skewers with salt or tare sauce, everything is carefully prepared and they will explain each dish being served. The assistant who was looking after the end of the counter I was seated has pretty good English so it was helpful when I was curious to find out more about particular dishes. Everything was delicious, service was great, creative dishes such as the cured chicken meat and pate sando worked well so although not cheap it was worth the visit.
