“Torinokoji Yamagishi,” a hidden yakitori retreat quietly nestled above the streets of Shijo in Kyoto, carries on the spirit of its flagship restaurant, Tominokoji Yamagishi, elevating it into a new expression of yakitori. The grill is entrusted to a chef who refined his craft at the renowned Osaka restaurant Sumibi Iwata, meticulously grilling each skewer with expert precision.

Enjoy an omakase course centered around "Koku-Oh," Kagoshima's prized Kuro Satsuma chicken. Expertly grilled over premium Kishu binchotan charcoal, each skewer is finished with a crisp, aromatic exterior while preserving the chicken's natural juiciness and rich flavor. Complement your meal with a carefully curated selection of sake and shochu, chosen to perfectly enhance the flavors of the yakitori.

The restaurant offers an intimate, counter-only setting. From the large windows on the upper floor, guests can enjoy sweeping views of the Shijo cityscape, where openness and tranquility coexist. The immersive atmosphere—where the flames, aromas, and sounds of the grill can be felt with all five senses—is one of the restaurant’s defining charms.

In this chic space infused with Japanese elegance, enjoy a moment shaped by a new expression of yakitori and Kyoto’s unique aesthetic sensibility, accompanied by carefully selected sake and shochu.
