Nothing like a little food to get us excited at Find. Eat. Drink. We have been completely seduced by three sister restaurants: Aburiya Kinnosuke, Yakitori Totto, and Yakitori Torys.
EATINGTheatrics and beauty play a huge part in everything they do. Keep in mind, these are not Americanized California roll type cuisine places. Table-top Shichirin charcoal grills for browning skate fins, rice balls stuffed with itty-bitty sardines (don’t worry about the little eyes looking at you), grilled eel with fried spines, homemade tofu with 3 salts: wasabi, yuzu, and sea. To see our slide show from Aburiya Kinnosuke, click here.
At Yakitori Torys and Yakitori Totto, it’s all about chicken bits on a stick: heart, liver, gizzard, knee bone, neck, skin, and tail. To see our slide show from Yakitori Totto, click here.
DRINKINGWe recommend the shochu (like a Japanese vodka) grapefruit cocktail, served with a half-grapefruit and juicer.
SEATING
Front row seats at the open-kitchen yakitori and robata bars offer the best shows. Aburiya Kinnosuke also has private rooms with sliding wood doors.
VISITING
A few tips:
- We recommend making a reservation.
- Sitting at the counter will provide more open-kitchen theater.
- The majority of the clientele are Japanese, which means the menu and servers have a Japanese focus, more than American.
- Small plates add up, so watch your tab.
- If you’re on a budget, Aburiya Kinnosuke offers great lunch specials.
