Savor charcoal-grilled yakitori enveloped in aromatic smoke and juicy homemade shumai

  • Fragrant yakitori and yakiton
  • Juicy homemade shumai

Originally founded as a butcher shop in 1928, ISEYA SOHONTEN is an iconic Kichijoji tavern filled with aromatic smoke and vibrant energy. Signature yakitori and reasonably priced yakiton (grilled pork skewers), from kashira (pork temple) to liver, are expertly grilled to perfection, featuring bold flavors that pair wonderfully with drinks. Another specialty, the generously sized homemade shumai, is packed with coarsely ground meat and bursts with irresistible juices. A rich variety of side dishes, including tender, slow-simmered motsu nikomi (offal stew), enlivens any gathering, all enjoyed affordably in the ¥2,000 range. Whether quenching your thirst with a quick drink from noon at the first-floor counter and standing area, or chatting with friends on the second-floor tatami seating (zashiki), you can enjoy a pleasant time immersed in Showa retro nostalgia.
