Discovering Yakitori Mitsuboshi

On May 9, 2026, Yakitori Mitsuboshi will make its grand debut in Mitaka, Tokyo, bringing an extraordinary experience for chicken lovers. This new establishment, operated by RedeFine Dining Co., Ltd, a company led by President Takeshi Kawamura, promises to offer yakitori prepared from fresh, whole chickens sourced directly from Tottori Prefecture. The key to their unique flavor lies in their commitment to using chickens processed within 24 hours of being brought to the restaurant, ensuring guests enjoy the best quality possible.

Commitment to Freshness

Yakitori Mitsuboshi's motto is to provide 'freshness comparable to eating at the source'. This approach begins with the meticulous selection of chickens from carefully chosen poultry farms in Tottori. Each day, the chickens are processed in-house by skilled artisans, ensuring that every bite retains the delicious qualities of fresh meat. This attention to freshness allows them to serve not only juicy thigh meat but also other rare cuts that are hard to find in regular yakitori establishments.

Additionally, the depth of flavor is further enhanced by utilizing fresh chicken bones to create a rich broth. The staff's dedication to using every part of the chicken means guests can look forward to enjoying various chicken dishes, including delectable chicken nanban and fresh chicken meatballs.

Three Pillars of Passion

At Yakitori Mitsuboshi, three main principles guide their operations:

1. Remarkable '24-Hour Freshness'

• - Each chicken served is prepared within 24 hours after being slaughtered, ensuring exceptional quality. This standard means that the texture of thigh meat and the sweetness of liver can be truly experienced here. Guests can also enjoy limited rare cuts that change daily, all thanks to their focus on freshness.

2. Complete Utilization of 'Whole Chicken'

• - These skilled chefs make the most of each whole chicken, serving rare cuts at affordable prices, that would typically be priced at over 1000 yen in upscale venues. From unique appetizers to hearty dishes like chicken broth and the popular chicken nanban, every item on the menu is thoughtfully crafted.

3. Perfect Pairings with Organic Lemons

• - To balance the rich flavors of yakitori, Yakitori Mitsuboshi offers lemon drinks made from completely organic lemons sourced from Hiroshima. The zesty drinks, including sour cocktails and highballs loaded with lemon zest, are a favorite among female patrons.
