About this place
Hakkenden Narimasu-ten is an easygoing tavern to drop into for charcoal-grilled skewers. The menu features approachable staples like wakatori (young chicken), tsukune meatballs, and bonjiri (tail), as well as chewier mature chicken skewers, sasami with wasabi, and Junwakei chicken thigh. Low-temperature slow-cooked chicken sashimi and limited-quantity chicken liver sashimi also provide refreshing, delicate ways to begin a meal before turning to the grill.
The deep selection of side dishes keeps meals varied between skewers. Light bites like crunchy seasoned cabbage and seasoned quail eggs pair naturally with beer and sake, while savory items such as Hakkenden gyoza, dashi omelets, and addictive fried chicken skin let you set your own pace. Counter seating provides an easy perch for individual diners heading home from work, while tables comfortably host group gatherings.
To finish, the kitchen offers filling staples including yakitori-shop fried noodles, chuka soba ramen, and comforting chicken zosui rice soup. Open until 1:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, the izakaya provides a steady, welcoming spot even for late arrivals.
