A sister restaurant to Kyoto Gion’s renowned Wabiya Korekido and managed by the famous patisserie Malebranche, this stylish yakitori and chicken specialty restaurant offers a refined and unique dining experience.
Unlike the lively atmosphere typical of yakitori eateries, this establishment focuses on savoring each meticulously crafted chicken dish with elegance: a rarity in the culinary world.
The intimate interior features an 8-seat L-shaped counter surrounding a wood-fired oven, creating a serene and private ambiance. Dinner begins promptly at 18:30, offering a unified dining experience. What sets this restaurant apart is its innovative cooking methods, combining traditional charcoal grilling with the use of a wood-fired oven to prepare chicken and vegetables.
The use of wood and charcoal creates dishes with exceptional texture and flavor. The chicken and vegetables are cooked to perfection, retaining their natural juices and moisture inside while achieving a crisp, fragrant exterior.
Guests can watch Executive Chef Akiyama, the culinary director of the Wabiya Korekido group, showcase his grilling mastery. As you savor the natural flavors of the chicken and vegetables, the gentle warmth and flickering flames of the wood oven create a cozy and relaxing dining atmosphere, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in this extraordinary culinary journey.
