Best yakitori in japan (in our opinion) 🍢. Torigin Honten in Ginza has been around since 1957 and for good reason. This place does spectacular yakitoris. You know a place is legit when you see all types of people lining up here from salary men to senior citizens and tourists like me. Must orders for us were the chicken meatballs, chicken sking, wings & the shiitake mushrooms. They're also famous for their kamameshi which is a japanese rice dish cooked in an iron pot. 100% get their sansai-kamameshi. Don't judge how plain it could look, the taste is F**N amazing. Came back here three times in our trip, we highly rate. - - - - - #japan #yakitori #ginzafood #ginza #torigenhonten #japanesefood #tokyo #tokyoyakitori #foodreview #explorejapan #tokyoguide
