Yakitori Shinohara is one of the only restaurants in Tokyo where you can experience world-renowned "Kobe Takasaka Chicken"
Yakitori Shinohara is a distinguished yakitori restaurant located in the prestigious Nishiazabu neighborhood of Tokyo, and one of the very few restaurants in the city where guests can experience the world-renowned "Kobe Takasaka Chicken." This exceptionally rare breed, raised to the highest standards of care and quality in Kobe, is prized for its extraordinary flavor and texture. Chef Shinohara has dedicated his career to showcasing the exceptional qualities of this remarkable ingredient, and Yakitori Shinohara has become the definitive destination for those seeking to experience the very best yakitori that Tokyo has to offer.
All the ingredients used at Yakitori Shinohara are carefully selected
At Yakitori Shinohara, every ingredient is selected with the utmost care and attention to quality. Chef Shinohara personally visits producers and suppliers to ensure that only the finest ingredients make it into his kitchen. From the Kobe Takasaka Chicken that forms the centerpiece of his menu to the sauces, seasonings, and garnishes that accompany each dish, every element is chosen for its exceptional quality and flavor. This meticulous approach to ingredient selection is a reflection of Chef Shinohara's belief that great yakitori begins with great ingredients, and that the chef's primary responsibility is to honor and enhance the natural qualities of those ingredients.

"We wanted a special beer to match the special taste of Takasaka chicken"
"When I decided to serve Kobe Takasaka Chicken, I knew that I needed a beverage that was equally special," says Chef Shinohara. "Regular beer simply wouldn't do justice to the extraordinary quality of our chicken." It was this search for a beer that matched the exceptional standards of Yakitori Shinohara that led Chef Shinohara to discover ROCOCO. "From the first sip, I knew that ROCOCO was the beer I had been looking for," he recalls. "Its refined flavor and elegant presentation perfectly complement the exceptional quality of our Kobe Takasaka Chicken." ROCOCO is now an integral part of the Yakitori Shinohara experience, a beverage as special as the food it accompanies.
