It started as a coffee shop in 1963, and transformed into a skewer restaurant in 1989. They pursue the most delicious way to grill each ingredient, and when each tsukune is formed, they weigh it, sparing no time and effort to ensure that it is within 1g. They are never satisfied with the status quo, and their dedication to each skewer of yakitori and their flavors are sure to satisfy your heart.

The shop's trademark sign is a hole with the shop's name on it. The interior is suitable for both small groups and parties, and is bustling with businessmen on their way home from work and families. They pay particular attention to how the skin is cooked, ensuring it is crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Many fans visit the shop for the carefully crafted skewers, and they sometimes sell more than 800 skewers a day.

"Utsuki Shokudo" was sadly closed on the west corner of Tanukikoji 7-chome. Yakitori "Mitsuki" continues to operate, lighting a new history with the light it inherited from its former restaurant. Nagoya Cochin chicken, carefully selected from brands all over the country, has a meat quality that combines the right amount of chewiness and softness. Enjoy a wide variety of skewers, from standard cuts to rare skewers with limited quantities.

The owner of the restaurant sources ingredients from all over Japan, while his wife grows vegetables in their own garden in Sapporo, and they are always striving to use the freshest ingredients. In addition to skewers, they also offer seasonal seafood and vegetable dishes. They pair their drinks with local sake, pure rice wine that is not too fragrant and has a rich umami flavor, and a selection of light red and mellow white wines, all made by people they know.

The most important thing is to make sure the meat is firmly inserted on the skewer. The sake is sprayed on the meat frequently to bring out its flavor, resulting in a soft and fluffy finish. By constantly turning the meat over in small increments, the heat reaches all the way to the core of the meat, ensuring that it is cooked to the perfect degree without being overcooked. Each skewer is carefully crafted to be enjoyed with care.

At "Hitsuji-tei" you can enjoy 8mm thick lamb. There are two types of sauce, "light soy sauce" and "spicy soy sauce", and you can choose your favorite seasoning from five types of condiments and cheese toppings. "Lamb tan ponzu", "seared raw lamb", and "minced lamb bibimbap" made with original homemade ponzu jelly are said to be popular with repeat customers.

The popular "Assorted" dish is a plate of raw lamb, lamb, and mutton, allowing you to compare three different meats at once. From the second dish onwards, you can order any additional meat you like as a single item. To finish off the meal, try the specialty "Agari Ramen", a soup made from a sauce that combines the flavors of the meat and fats and dashi stock.

They offer four types of lamb, two from Hokkaido and two from Australia. The highlight is not only the lamb from Hokkaido, but you should also try the Lamb of Tasmania, which is said to be the best Australian lamb. The first piece is grilled by the staff while explaining the tricks of grilling. To accompany it, try the natural wine, of which 60 types are always stocked in the store's cellar.

The lamb used is shoulder loin from Australia. It is not too fatty and has just the right amount of marbling, giving it a high-quality feel. The sauce, which is a special accompaniment made from garlic, ginger and a number of other spices, is spicy and brings out the sweetness of the meat. Recommended for those who want to fully enjoy the authentic Jingisukan.

They only serve one type of meat, "Genghis Khan." They purchase half a mutton head from New Zealand, and serve four different cuts on one plate. Whether it's the lean thigh or the fatty belly, the more you chew it, the more the flavor overflows with a light, unobtrusive gravy. This will completely overturn the image that "mutton is tough and has a strong flavor."

Soft steam rises from the oden pot over the counter, and the rich aroma of the dashi fills the restaurant. The clear Kansai-style dashi is made daily using bonito flakes and Rausu kelp delivered directly from Yaizu. The restaurant also offers a selection of light, dry sake to bring out the flavor of the oden.

You can enjoy popular craft beer with a variety that goes beyond conventional boundaries, and is made with a particular method that actively uses ingredients from Hokkaido such as hops and wheat. Up to 12 types of craft beer are available on tap. There is also a wide variety of food, and the selection changes constantly to suggest the best combinations.

They always have 300 kinds of whiskey in stock, and will recommend one based on your taste. The extensive cocktail menu includes some that you won't find anywhere else. The staff will talk to you in a friendly and natural manner, even if you're visiting for the first time, so you can relax and enjoy your special drink.

There are 11 taps of domestic craft beer on tap at all times, with the beer barrels rotating, so you can discover new flavors every time you visit. The most popular food item is the "Beef Offal Simmered" which is sweetly seasoned with Hatcho miso, making it perfect for beer. There is also a wide selection of snacks and side dishes, such as low-temperature cooked liver, salads, and cheese, which all go great with beer.

Everything from the gyoza dumplings and shumai to the sauces and seasonings is homemade. The restaurant has many repeat customers because of its gorgeous appearance, healthy taste, and unique flavor. The Bang Bang Chicken Salad is particularly recommended, as it combines plenty of yam, egg yolk, and homemade sauce to create a taste that takes the mild boiled chicken to another dimension.

You can enjoy snacks and crepes until 11pm, so we recommend finishing off your meal with a crepe.
