I recently had the pleasure of dining at Yakitori Mook, and it was an experience that left my taste buds dancing with joy. This is a restaurant from one of the chefs that was featured on "Culinary Class Wars". It is a small, cozy place with mostly counter seating so you can see all the grilling action and a few small tables along the sides. Make sure to book in advance, we used CatchTable to secure our reservation.
Each skewer was grilled to perfection, with a delightful balance of flavors and textures. The chicken was tender and juicy, while the vegetables were fresh and crisp. The chef’s skill in seasoning and grilling was evident in every bite.
One of my favorite skewers was the Tsukune (chicken meatball). It was incredibly flavorful, with a perfect blend of spices and a hint of sweetness. The tare sauce, a savory glaze, added an extra layer of deliciousness that made it impossible to resist. It was served with a sous vide egg that you were able to mix in the sauce for an extra velvety bite.
The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who were more than happy to explain the menu and make recommendations. Their passion for the food and dedication to providing an exceptional dining experience truly shone through.
In addition to the yakitori, the restaurant offered a variety of other dishes such as salad, soup, dessert that complemented the meal perfectly. I'm not usually a salad guy, and I wasn't expecting it to be anything special here, but the yuzu cabbage salad was crisp, refreshing and perfectly seasoned with the balance of acidity to cleanse the palate.
Overall, Yakitori Mook exceeded my expectations in every way. If you’re a fan of yakitori or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, I highly recommend giving this place a try, It's no wonder they are on the Michelin Guide!
