Budoya

This chicken-focused shop, located in the Ginza INZ underground shopping area, has been around for well over 50 years. The yakitori deals start at around ¥5,000 per person at dinner – most definitely not cheap, but worth it for the flavours produced by the combo of 'secret sauce' and chicken carefully grilled over high-grade charcoal. The easy-going atmosphere is accentuated by sculptures and folk handicrafts collected by the owner, producing an overall feel that's very different than your run-of-the-mill yakitori joint.
