Yakitori SANKA
YakitoriBy procuring chicken from Tosa, this restaurant showcases the best Kochi has to offer to a broader range of diners. The yakitori is seasoned with sun-dried salt from eastern Kochi and grilled over Tosa Binchotan charcoal, a source of local pride for the region.
Ramen Break Beats

grill GRAND
YoshokuThis western-style, family-run restaurant, established in 1941, is nestled in behind Senso-ji Temple. The chef holds great reverence for the teachings passed down to him by his father and grandfather, and has vowed to maintain the same level of quality for Asakusa.
