Oden and Yakitori Takeshi Opens in Oji

On May 29, 2026, a new dining establishment called Oden and Yakitori Takeshi will open in Oji, located in the Kita Ward of Tokyo. This venture is a brainchild of Always, a subsidiary of Hotland Holdings, which is known for its trendy food and beverage outlets including Gin-Dako and Motsuyaki Izakaya.

What is Oden and Yakitori Takeshi?

Oden and Yakitori Takeshi aims to combine the popular Japanese street food culture of oden with the beloved yakitori. The establishment’s hallmark is its creative oden, which uses two types of dashi (broth): ago dashi and chicken dashi. Each dish is crafted to enhance the natural flavors of seasonal ingredients, resulting in an appealing variety that includes both classic staples like daikon and egg, as well as innovative creations that entice diners to explore.

The yakitori menu focuses on offering a wide variety of skewers, served in a size that encourages casual enjoyment. Each skewer is grilled to perfection, emphasizing the unique flavors and textures of different chicken parts, ensuring that every bite is a delightful experience.



Guest can expect a fresh, vibrant atmosphere, enhanced by the enticing aroma of dashi from the oden pot and the sounds of yakitori cooking on the grill. The interior is designed to enhance the lively dining experience, making it an ideal spot for post-work relaxation or a casual gathering with friends.

A Rich Dining Legacy

Established in 2019 in Ikebukuro, Odenya Takeshi has focused on utilizing rich flavors from both ago and chicken dashi in its signature oden dishes. Over the years, this venue has become an integral part of the local dining scene, appealing to a wide demographic from solo diners to groups enjoying a night out. Currently, there are over 30 locations across Tokyo and beyond, showcasing the brand's growth and popularity.

In recent years, the addition of special concepts like Oden and Robata Takeshi demonstrates the brand's commitment to innovate within the oden genre, further diversifying the menu and the dining experience.



At Oden and Yakitori Takeshi, the goal is to blend two deeply rooted aspects of Japanese food culture: the comforting nature of oden and the bold flavors of grilled yakitori. This fusion is designed to attract a wide audience, encouraging new diners to appreciate the warm and inviting atmosphere while enjoying delicious meals that evoke a sense of nostalgia and comfort.

Community Engagement and Future Plans

As its opening approaches, Oden and Yakitori Takeshi aims to create a space that feels welcoming to both locals and visitors. The establishment aspires to cultivate a spot where people want to return frequently, sharing the experience with friends and family. Plans for the menu and interior features will be shared through social media, inviting the community to stay tuned for more updates leading up to the grand opening.
