Written as ‘devotion to chicken’ (Torijin) – what an amazing name!
The signboard is stylish, too.
Just writing this blog makes me want to visit again! (lol)
Torijin opened on August 3, 2021, and despite being in the middle of the pandemic, it has risen to become a popular spot.
The secret to its popularity is…
Located in Matsuo, Naha City, Okinawa, Charcoal-Grilled Yakitori Torijin Naha Branch is a place loved by both locals and tourists for its delicious yakitori.
Here, you can enjoy yakitori cooked differently depending on the chicken parts used.
It pairs perfectly with drinks, and in the evenings, the lively atmosphere warmly welcomes guests.
How about going there for a Christmas date this year? (lol)
The solid wood counter and perfectly placed lighting make the dishes look even more amazing!
Do you want to see some photos of the food?
I was hesitant, but…
Just a little bit, okay? (lol)
I feel like I might get in trouble if I overdo it, so just a little peek! (lol)

Maitake Tempura
Crispy fried maitake tempura
The plate is stylish too, isn’t it?
Squeeze some shikuwasa over it and sprinkle a bit of rock salt.
The crunchy texture and rich maitake flavor fill your mouth, followed by the refreshing aroma of shikuwasa and aonori.
I already want to eat it again!!! (lol)
Yamato Chicken Sashimi
Have you ever had chicken sashimi?
Most people probably haven’t!
I forgot the exact parts we had. (lol) Let’s see… thigh, heart…
You’ll have to come to the restaurant and ask! (lol)
It had a great texture and was delicious!
This might be the only place in Okinawa where you can try it!
Finally, the long-awaited…
Chicken Heart
The yakitori at this restaurant is huge!
This plump, juicy chicken heart! It’s so delicious!
I can almost hear someone asking, ‘Why save the heart for last?’
But if you just order a mixed platter, you might miss out on the fun of discovering it when you visit the restaurant. ^^
Enjoy the rest of the experience at the restaurant!
Recommended Menu
At this restaurant, yakitori is prepared using different cooking methods depending on the part of the chicken. Since the flavor varies by part, you can order several kinds and enjoy the differences in taste. Additionally, it pairs well with drinks, making it a great choice for those who enjoy alcohol.
Liver: The liver has a plump texture and a rich, deep flavor.
Seseri: This part tends to be dry, but at Torijin, it’s cooked tender and juicy. The chef’s seasoning is spot on!
Heart: The heart has a unique, chewy texture and is a healthy part of the chicken. It’s great on its own with just salt, but if you pair it with the provided black pepper, the flavor really stands out.
Tsukune: Tsukune is made by shaping ground chicken into a ball, with a soft and fluffy texture. Torijin’s tsukune is carefully grilled over charcoal, giving it a crispy exterior and a juicy inside.
Gizzard: The gizzard has a light texture, and the flavor intensifies as you chew. Grilled over charcoal, it has a crispy texture and rich flavor. When eaten with the yuzu pepper served alongside it, the refreshing taste enhances the experience.
In addition, there are amazing seasonal dishes like saliva chicken and Yamato chicken thigh tataki, so I hope you visit and enjoy the menu!
