¥¥¥ ・ Yakitori
One Star: High quality cooking
Kyohei Obana pours his soul into each complete yakitori, grilling only chicken raised by like-minded producers in Tanba-Sasayama. He presents the first skewer of thigh meat by hand. Hearts are cut in half and shared between two guests. Pieces too small to skewer are served as gyoza dumplings. The dashi from bones finds its way into zosui and oyakodon (a bowl of rice topped with chicken and eggs). Obana does his best to use every part of the precious lives his meat has lost.
