Serata

The number of yakitori restaurants in Japan is no joke — they're literally everywhere, at every corner and every street. Word of mouth and internet reviews help a restaurant to get a bump up over the rest, but richness in flavor is what locks in a restaurant’s spot among the best yakitori restaurants in town. Serata has worked hard to gain such a privileged spot. Located mere minutes away from Tamachi Station, Serata is a little hidden away, with no sign to find it by. This grilled meat restaurant has a rustic atmosphere, having been in business for quite a while. Opened by the parents of the current chef before passing the baton to him, Serata has quite a loyal group of customers who swear that the tender and crispy yakitori served there is the best in Tokyo. Serata offers numerous cuts of meat to be charcoal-grilled on bamboo skewers, as well as an extensive a la carte menu that includes interesting bites like shiitake mushroom steak.
