I ate my fill of everything—from alcohol to katsu-don to yakitori—at “Torikizoku,” a yakitori restaurant where everything costs 390 yen.

A Yakitori Paradise in Japan That Offers Unbeatable Value: If you’re looking for an authentic, lively, and surprisingly affordable Japanese izakaya experience in Tokyo, “Torikizoku” is a restaurant you absolutely can’t miss.

It’s very crowded. I had to wait in line, but it’s not so much that it’s a popular spot—it’s just that the prices are low, so everyone lines up. There are a lot of customers.

What’s amazing is that everything is a flat rate of 390 yen (tax included), so there are no prices listed.

In many parts of Japan, there are quite a few restaurants where you can place orders using tablet devices. Recently, there has also been an increase in restaurants where you scan a QR code with your smartphone to place an order.

The food isn’t bad. However, if you’re looking for something unique, I wouldn’t recommend a chain restaurant like this. The low prices mean the kitchen operations are mechanical and geared toward mass production. Still, it’s a fun place to eat.

All of these are 390 yen. That includes both the katsu-don and the zosui.

Many Japanese people finish their meal with a main dish of noodles or rice. This time, it’s katsu-don and zosui.

390 yen per person; 6,240 yen for two adults, split evenly, comes to about 3,000 yen. It’s cheap. That’s why everyone lines up.

I’ve seen foreign customers there before. It seems they have locations overseas as well, but you should definitely check out their Japanese locations.

I was very satisfied again today.

Thank you for your support.
