A Taste of Yakitori to Enjoy at Home
Azabudai Torishiki was created with the mission to bring the exquisite flavors of yakitori from Meguro's Torishiki closer to everyday consumers.

Exclusive Menu Items Designed for Isetan Shinjuku
Isetan Shinjuku Exclusive: Charcoal-Grilled Kashiwamiso Nori Bento
One of the highlights includes a bento featuring chicken marinated overnight in miso and grilled over charcoal, accompanied by Torishiki’s signature soft bone minced meat, edamame, and corn fritters. This exquisite rice box utilizes freshly prepared seaweed from Yamamoto Nori store, which will be grilled on-site, enhancing the flavors of both the chicken and side dishes with a rich aroma.
Kashiwamitsu Karaage
This beloved item from Azabudai Torishiki involves fresh Kashiwamitsu chicken marinated in a special soy sauce and fried to perfection. Customers rave about its juicy and savory flavor, making it a must-try during the event.
Special Collaboration with Yamamoto Nori
The exclusive bentos are made with grilled nori from Yamamoto Nori, founded in 1849. The rich aroma and texture of the freshly cooked nori elevate the experience of the charcoal-grilled chicken and carefully selected side dishes. This remarkable collaboration promises a unique culinary adventure exclusive to this event, showcasing the dedication and expertise of both brands in Japanese food traditions.
Our Vision: Bringing Authentic Yakitori Closer to You
Yakitori is best enjoyed fresh off the grill, and that’s precisely why Azabudai Torishiki seeks to make this culinary gem accessible to a broader audience. Our mission is to share the art and philosophy behind selecting exceptional ingredients and cooking techniques, allowing everyone to savor the flavors of yakitori in their daily lives.
The brand embodies the spirit of dedication and passion for yakitori, as demonstrated by chef Yoshiteru Ikegawa and the skilled artisans. By presenting our expertise in a convenient takeout format, we hope to introduce as many people as possible to the remarkable taste of Torishiki.
