The Food at “Yakitori & Wine Torihachi”

I went to “Yakitori & WINE Torihachi” in Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi.

Liver pâté ￥550(tax included)

My personal recommendation here is the liver pâté😍 On top of the chicken liver is a sugar brûlée layer. Crack it open, put it on the toasted bread together with the liver, and take a bite. It goes incredibly well with shochu, wine, and sake. We like to savor it little by little, and then there’s never enough bread, so our standard move is to order extra bread right from the start💕

Bottom right: Saikyo-Miso-Pickled Cream Cheese ￥450(tax included)

All the skewers use great ingredients, and the salt balance is spot on. At a casual yakitori place, I’d usually order “seseri” with tare sauce, but here they only serve it with salt, and it’s so good💕

Yukishio Salt Liver 1 skewer ￥330(tax included)

The Yukishio salt liver makes a strong visual impression too. It’s beautiful, elegant, and delicious. Everything was consistently great, and we were very satisfied.

The skewers are great, of course, but the drinks they have are impressive too. They even serve the premium shochu “Kanehachi,” which was once hard to get, at a reasonable price. It has that barley-chocolate-like aroma… and everyone raves about how smooth and easy it is to drink💕 It’s one of my favorite drinks.

Homemade Wasanbon Pudding ￥400(tax included)

For sake, the right move is to ask the manager for recommendations each time. They explain everything carefully, and the way they talk about it makes you want to try a glass. They’re really good at it. You might even discover a label you’ve never had before🤗

The outside of the shop↓

The manager here is very good with customers. Even after we left, they saw us off with a deep, polite bow, which made me want to come back. Among the yakitori spots in lively Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi, this place has a calm atmosphere (not silent or overly quiet, though), and it was a comfortable place to enjoy good drinks and skewers.
