[Regular Edition Cover] Kasumi Arimura
Gracing the cover for the fourth time is Kasumi Arimura. We invited her to 'Bird Lab.,' a yakitori restaurant in Nakameguro managed by the prestigious 'Torishiki,' where she enjoyed a brief yakitori time. She also shared her thoughts on the movie 'Magical Secret Tour,' which depicts the friendship between three women.
[Special Edition Cover] Hayato Sano (M!LK)
From M!LK, known for various viral hits, Hayato Sano graces the special edition cover for the first time as a soloist! The shoot took place at the latest hotel, '1 HOTEL TOKYO' in Akasaka. He also discussed his enthusiasm for starring in the TBS Tuesday drama 'Kimi no Suki wa Muteki,' starting in July.
Kaho Fujishima (Hinatazaka46)
Making her first appearance in Tokyo Calendar is Kaho Fujishima of Hinatazaka46. She serves as the center for the 17th single 'Kind of Love,' and her appearance enjoying 'chicken yakiniku' in Roppongi is a must-see! Don't miss this different, more mature side of Kaho-rin!
Editor-in-Chief on the Highlights of the August Issue
It has been five years since the term 'date yakitori' was coined. 'Premium yakitori,' featuring omakase courses enjoyed in stylish and high-quality spaces, is currently sweeping Tokyo's nightlife. While offering exquisite flavors, it remains more accessible and healthier than sushi or yakiniku. With these unique strengths, it is accelerating its global expansion, following in the footsteps of 'WAGYU.' Indeed, an unprecedented 'Yakitori New Era' has arrived!
Tokyo Calendar has long focused on this 'refinement of yakitori' for its features, and now we present a comprehensive look at the current fervor in 2026. In addition to the super-notable stores that symbolize the 'New Era,' we have conducted in-depth reporting, including the genealogy of famous stores, supervised by one of Japan's leading yakitori enthusiasts. It is incredibly detailed and surprisingly delicious. The definitive version of the latest 'Yakitori Feature' of the Reiwa era is here!
* The difference between the regular and special editions is only the cover; the magazine content is the same.
