Torien, an acclaimed yakitori bar, offers an exceptional dining experience that celebrates the art of traditional Japanese cuisine. The menu boasts a 13-course omakase featuring an array of expertly grilled chicken parts, including organs, as well as carefully selected vegetables. Utilizing binchotan charcoal from Kishu, Japan, Torien infuses its ingredients with a distinctive, coveted fragrance. The chicken, including the heart, is meticulously cooked over low heat to achieve optimal doneness, showcasing the variety of chicken parts, such as skin, thigh, knee, shoulder, and wings. While the quantity per skewer may be overwhelming, the grilled broccoli and Brussels sprouts are standout highlights. The appetizer, a specially crafted swing roll filled with chicken and mushroom, evokes the familiar taste of dim sum, complementing the overall dining experience alongside sake and beer.
