About this place
A glance at the skewer menu reveals a wide breadth of choices, moving from foundational chicken cuts to inventive specialty skewers. Situated near the elevated tracks in Funabori, Edogawa Ward, Torisei 2-goten is a yakitori restaurant where diners can settle into a calm interior and savor skewers grilled with aromatic char.
Among the first choices to keep in mind are the liver, popular for its plump texture and rich flavor, and the juicy chicken meatballs (tsukune). Beyond the standard preparation, tsukune is offered in refreshing variations with plum-shiso or grated daikon radish and ponzu. Chicken breast tenderloin (sasami) also shows distinct character across different toppings, including real wasabi, plum-shiso, tomato cheese, and demi-glace cheese, revealing how versatile the same cut can be.
The skewer selection also highlights drinks-friendly options like the unusual unpeeled quail eggs (kara-tsuki udama), punchy garlic-grilled neck meat (seseri ninniku-yaki), and crunchy yagen soft bone cartilage. Vegetable skewers such as grilled avocado, ginkgo nuts, and shiitake mushrooms round out the list, setting a comfortable pace alongside small plates.
The dining area provides counter seating that suits solo guests, along with table seating suited to groups or families. It is a welcoming spot to linger into the evening, sipping beer or other drinks while enjoying hot skewers as they come off the grill.
