Abeya
A
modest, somewhat hidden yakitori spot in Nakameguro,
a neighborhood that’s famous for its blooming
cherry trees. The smoke from the grill and the sizzle
from the semi-open kitchen is where skilled chefs work with
select chicken cuts sourced from a single supplier. Skewers
are cooked over binchotan charcoal for a cleaner burn and
all sauces are homemade. Diners can sit at tables, in private
rooms or at the counter, but wherever they are, it only takes
them a single bite to realize that Abeya is no typical yakitori
restaurant. Mention “Weekender” to get a 10% discount.
