LDH kitchen Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Hiroyuki Suzuki; hereinafter "the Company"), which promotes Japanese food culture both domestically and internationally under the concept of "Food as Entertainment.",

Torisora, a yakitori brand born from "Torishiki ICHIMON," led by Yoshiteru Ikegawa, the owner of Meguro's "Torishiki"—a Michelin one-star regular known as a "difficult-to-reserve restaurant" that works with the Company to enhance the value of Japanese food culture—will reopen after renovations on Wednesday, April 15, 2026.

With this renewal, "OMAKASE" (chef's choice) will become "OKONOMI" (a la carte).

Reborn as an a la carte yakitori specialty restaurant where you can freely enjoy as much as you want, when you want, we return to the style of a "yatai" (food stall), the origin of yakitori culture, as yakitori that is "chosen" rather than "being chosen."

 

While maintaining the approach and techniques cultivated through each skewer, the restaurant has evolved into a structure where customers can choose "their own skewer" according to their mood and pace, and enjoy it to their heart's content.

■ NAME STORY | The resolve embodied in the single character "鳥" in the refreshed restaurant name

Along with this renewal, the restaurant name has been changed from "Torisora" in hiragana to "鳥そら" (Torisora) using the kanji character for bird.

The single character "鳥" (bird) embodies respect for the ingredients themselves and the resolve of the artisans who diligently face each skewer of yakitori, continuously honing their skills every day.

By re-examining the origins and essence not only in the cuisine but also in the restaurant name,

"Torisora" takes a new step forward as a restaurant that will bear the future of yakitori culture.

■ CONCEPT & MENU | The Joy of "Choosing" - A Return to the Origin

Returning to the origin of yakitori, where the culture was inherited from food stalls, the menu is now primarily a la carte, featuring an "OKONOMI" style where you can freely enjoy as much as you want, when you want.

The artisans' skill of carefully grilling each carefully selected ingredient remains unchanged.

Based on the reliable techniques cultivated by Torishiki ICHIMON, we offer a diverse selection of yakitori and à la carte dishes that you can choose from.

              
You can enjoy "your own skewer" to your heart's content, according to your mood and pace on that day.

Yakitori grilled over high heat close to the coals, a specialty of Torishiki ICHIMON, crispy on the outside and rich in umami on the inside.
Enjoy with side dishes that enhance the yakitori experience, and a selection of fine sake.

■ SPACE | A relaxing space to fully experience Torishiki ICHIMON's yakitori.

The interior features 10 counter seats, creating an immersive space where you can experience the moment yakitori is grilled right before your eyes, engaging all five senses.

The yakitori, grilled using Torishiki's direct method of "high heat close to the coals," is accompanied by the delicate sounds of charcoal, the fragrant smoke rising, and the excitement of "choosing" your next skewer—

You can enjoy it casually with friends or loved ones.

Please enjoy "your own yakitori experience" to your heart's content.
