Talking about Yakitori in Shibuya is talking about Morimoto. Founded in 1949, it has the typical atmosphere of post-war Showa era. Dining at Morimoto is a bit of Tokyo's old yakitori school taste. Both locals and travelers sit shoulder to shoulder sharing a table, often conversations and food also. Fantastic place to interact. As for food, the house speciality is tsukune: a meatball on a skewer, in Morimoto mixed with cartilage and with a pleasant yuzu (local citrus) aftertaste. There is also sa ... shimi, raw chicken meat; white meat, liver and gizzard. The menu is translated into English so you can explore the most daring parts without surprises. The skewers come without innecessary decorations, it is a good yakitori and a true old Tokyo feeling experience just 300 meters away from Hachiko, the Shibuya center. NOTE: Their menu is also translated into French.
