“Uosei Sumibi Yakitori,” a cozy izakaya in a shopping street inside a housing complex.
The menu offers a great selection of yakitori, seasonal side dishes made with fresh ingredients, and a wide range of alcoholic drinks.
What impressed me most was the wide variety of yakitori. They had classics like chicken thigh and wings, as well as unique options for foreign nationals like liver and cartilage.
Whether you’re new to izakaya or a big fan, there’s something for everyone. And the best part? The prices are very reasonable, so you can try many different skewers without spending too much.
With tasty food and a cozy, friendly vibe, it’s no wonder many customers stop by for a daytime drink.
You might see regulars talking with the staff or enjoying a cold beer and some skewers with friends. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to—not just for the food, but for the warm and friendly vibe.
Wagyu beef skewers made with premium cuts
Wagyu is very different from the beef we usually eat in Europe. It’s much softer and richer. The fat is well spread, so it melts in your mouth with every bite. When grilled over charcoal, it gets a deep, delicious flavor. It feels like a special treat, but still matches the relaxed, casual style of a good izakaya.
They prepare their yakitori daily with fresh, never-frozen chicken. Each generously sized piece offers a hearty and satisfying bite.
Perfect side dishes to pair with drinks
The shop has a great selection of Japanese sake, perfect for an early evening drink or a relaxed time after hard work.
Rich and melt-in-your-mouth sashimi
In addition to their yakitori, the restaurant uses its location near Toyosu Market to serve fresh, high-quality sashimi. It’s a pleasant surprise for a place known for grilled skewers—and a real treat for seafood lovers like me.
The savory aroma of yakitori fills the air, making the space and time feel even more special.
As the smoky scent wafts through the room, it blends with the soft lighting and relaxed chatter to create a setting that feels effortlessly welcoming.
“Uosei Sumibi Yakitori,” run by Mr. and Mrs. Kamata, is a cozy spot where you can enjoy tasty yakitori and drinks in a friendly, casual setting.
The warm atmosphere created by Mr. and Mrs. Kamata, along with their wallet-friendly prices, makes it easy to see why locals have loved this place for so long.
