Bird Land Ginza
This famous Ginza grilled chicken restaurant puts Japan’s favorite comfort food at the center of a hearty set menu.
Restaurant Details
When you think Michelin-recommended cuisine, you probably don't think of yakitori, but this is Ginza — an area with perhaps the most densely-packed concentration of fine dining establishments in the world. Bird Land is one such place, connected directly to the metro station, and their yakitori grilled chicken skewers are among the best in Tokyo.
They use premium Kuji Shamo chicken from the Okukuji region in the northwest part of Ibaraki, which is the chef’s home prefecture. Two course meals are on offer with a range of skewers and other dishes such as liver pâté, and breast cooked in basil sauce. They also serve a variety of inventive sauces to accompany these umami-rich dishes.
The square counter which encloses the cooking area is large, but so is the reputation of the shop. This means it can get busy with hungry locals at dinner time.
