From my point of view  🙂

“Yakitori Hachibei” holds their company slogan,”BUTABARA TO THE WORLD.”  It is quite a regional food in Japan, so it is very rare to find “BUTABARA” on the menu of Yakitori Restaurants outside of the region, even in Tokyo.  “Yakitori Hachibei” started a branch in Tokyo so if you want to try, this is the place to taste it in Tokyo.

By paying the “Otoshi,” you will be served an appetizer “Cabbages with the special citrus sauce”, which is also famous.

My friend from Norway liked both “BUTABARA” and the “Cabbages” very much!!  I hope you will also enjoy it!!

Thank you for reading my report  🙂
