If you really want to dine like a local in Tokyo, head to a yakitori restaurant. Tokyo specializes in yakitori and you can easily find restaurants all over the city. If you are in the Marunouchi area, towards the Otemachi Station, try out the ever-popular Tori Kansuke.
Tori Kansuke is located at Otemachi in the Otemachi Tower, also known as Ootemori. The restaurant has been a long-standing favorite since the building first opened in 2014.
The restaurant specializes in yakitori, kamameshi rice, and wines. The best chances to get a table would be to have an early dinner or a late dinner after the first turnover of diners.
When it comes to locals eating yakitori, you will notice they linger for hours at their table as they continuously order drinks to pair with one or two small plates at a time.
