焼鳥 陀らく

This shop has many creative skewers that you won’t find anywhere else. The great thing about Daraku is they maintain the essence of yakitori. Although he looks intense, Chef Yabuuchi, a former musician, will teach you a lot if you ask. They have a special basement annex that’s exclusively for regulars—ask about it after you’ve gone a couple of times. The meal is usually served omakase-style—chef’s choice—although he’ll ask about your preferences. Watch out though, he’ll get mad if you take the meat off the skewers.
