Yakitori sanka menu overview in tokyo shinjuku district japan
Nestled in the vibrant Shinjuku district of Tokyo, Yakitori SANKA offers an exquisite journey through traditional Japanese grilled chicken skewers alongside fresh, seasonal ingredients. This intimate Michelin-recognized spot specializes in expertly crafted yakitori, where each skewer is cooked over aromatic Tosa binchotan charcoal for an unforgettable flavor experience.
Starters
Begin your meal with a selection of three delicate appetizers designed to awaken the palate. These include a warm custard that melts softly, a flavorful nugget of braised beef paired with juicy tomatoes, and a seasonal pesticide-free vegetable salad that boasts a perfect seasoning balance with a delightful salt texture.
Mains
The heart of Yakitori SANKA's menu is its variety of yakitori courses, each thoughtfully curated to highlight the rich flavors of specialty chicken and fresh vegetables. Choose from courses featuring 6, 8, or 10 types of skewers, including juicy chicken pieces and seasonal vegetable skewers. Perfectly grilled over charcoal, these skewers feature items like tender chicken shoulder with a hint of wasabi, crunchy yet juicy chicken skin, and surprisingly textured chicken gizzards that offer a delightful crunch reminiscent of celery and cabbage.
For rice bowl enthusiasts, the menu includes the comforting Tosa Hachikin Chicken Oyakodon, a classic dish combining succulent chicken, fluffy egg, and steamed rice. Alternatively, the Minced Rice Bowl offers a simpler yet equally satisfying combination of minced chicken atop rice.
Desserts
Complete your dining experience with a refreshing scoop of iced gelato sourced directly from Kokamai Farm. This simple yet luscious dessert is the perfect palate cleanser after savoring the rich and smoky flavors of the yakitori courses.
Drinks and Specials
Yakitori SANKA also offers an excellent selection of beverages including carefully chosen wines and a variety of sake options.
