Yakiton Hinata Oyama shop

This yakiton restaurant is popular enough to have waits on nearly a daily basis. Choose from one of three flavorings for your meat: salt, miso, or soy-based tare sauce. Beyond the grilled pork skewers, they also have bistro-style dishes like pâté de campagne. Although you can sit outside, it’s fun to grab an inside seat so you can see them grilling. You have your choice of beer, sours, or other drinks to go with your meat, but I’d like you to try out a glass of kanzake—warmed Japanese sake. The heat helps to activate and carry the oil from the pork parts, leading to a richer, longer-lasting flavor.
