Sumibi Yakitori Omoya - Best Izakaya in Ikebukuro

    09. December 2014


    A short walk and an easy access from the Ikebukuro Station.  Sumibi Yakitori Omoya is a fine local Japanese restaurant where you can enjoy the high quality grilled Yakitoris in a very reasonable price.  The focus here must be their exceptional liver, chicken meatloaf (tsukune), and the super fresh white meat (sasami) which are absolutely a top notch.  The perfect timing of skewing the fresh meat over the charcoal in Omoya is almost like an art which needs the most proficient technique they must have cultivated over the years to deliver best Yakitoris to the customers in a best condition.  And of course, a glass of cold Japanese beer right next to the exceptional grilled chickens makes your foodie experience even deeper.  The restaurant inside is a very Japanese style and relaxing place.  
    You may also have the Yakitori set menu (1080 yen) at lunch time which comes with the outstanding piece of grilled chickens on top of its bowl of rice and a miso soup. Enjoy!

      Shook (Saturday, 12 September 2015)

      This Yakitori restaurant offers grilled chicken meat only, there's no pork, beef etc. Their grilled chicken thigh and chicken wing are good too. Some items have to order 2 sticks. Sasami (chicken fillet) can be done in rare or medium, like steak, to eat with mustard. Highly recommended to order their house pour sake.
