Our family used to run a general market in the old days, but in 1976, we split our business and started a Yakitonya. In the beginning, we received many customer requests, such as, “don’t you have this?” Or, “can’t you make that?” And, our menu has been growing ever since. Nowadays, in addition to Yakiton, there we serve a wide variety of items such as ginkgo, potato fries, deep-fried octopus, and other unique items. We have our menu on the wall, but I’ve lost count of what we have.
We await you with smiles
A place where you can relax in Soshigaya
Oddly, we’ve had first time visitors come in and get nostalgic. “I feel like I’m at grandma’s place,” is something we hear often. It’s a shop where you can take a leisurely look at the menu on the wall, find what just want you want to order and give yourself a break.
Additional seating other than the counter is also available
The sauce recipe has been a secret, which has been guarded since our opening. Please, enjoy the rich flavor as it has been applied for 40 years
Eight selections of yakiton, including tongue, heart, liver, small intestine, cheek meat, cartilage, uterus and stomach are available. All are 170 yen

This yakiton restaurant has been around for 70 years. The second generation proprietor, I became independent about 30 years ago and took over the shop. My father, the first owner, did not train me much but often said during my apprenticeship at the restaurants, “steal cooking techniques with your own eyes, don’t rely on a master.” Now, I made Yakiton’s “Hiroha” in my own way.
I hone this kitchen knife every day. At first, it was more than 20cm, has been worn down over the years
Crowds come in before we open
Even before opening, customers come in without permission and the counter may be full even before we begin our day. At 17:30, I stand in front of the charcoal grill and orders come in one after the other. We may not politely ask, “what would you like?” but we do hear you. So, please do not hesitate to order.
There is a room in the back besides the counter seat
During the mid-shift lull, I relax and have a drink
During the mid-shift lull, I relax and have a drink
When we find our rythym and we reach the midpoint of our day, I like to relax and have a drink as I work the grill. I like shochu that I can control the alcohol content. Lately, I tire easily (laughs), so I sometimes close early. So, you may want to visit us in earlier than later.
Please, enjoy our charcoal-grilled Yakiton
We serve nine kinds of Yakiton (small intestine, cheek meat, tongue, heart, lever, fatty intestine, stomach, uterus and cartilage). All are 150 yen
