The best yakitori in Osaka, according to the experts: Michelin Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Sumibi Iwata comes out on top.
-
Rank 1. Sumibi Iwata
Yakitori Japanese
The ash-grey interior is no accident: the name starts with "sumibi," meaning charcoal flame, and the room commits to the concept. This is a yakitori counter where chickens raised in Kagoshima arrive direct and hit Bincho charcoal almost exclusively salted, letting the meat make its own argument. A yuba tofu palate cleanser has become something of a house signature, and the meal closes with soy-sauce ramen built on chicken broth.

Rank 1. Sumisho Mikuriya
Yakitori Japanese
The chef here will warn you that explaining his charcoal philosophy might take a while, and he's not wrong. This yakitori counter in Nishitemma runs on obsessive fire control: charcoal type, flame height, the angle of the drip, the moment to turn. Salt over sauce is the doctrine, and he'll use a broiler chicken for neck and heart meat if the fire is right. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and a good reason to clear your evening.
