Yakitori Hachibei

Hachibei is a Fukuoka yakitori restaurant with a reputation that extends beyond chicken skewers. The kitchen also grills pork belly in careful portions, and the combination of proteins keeps the menu interesting across a full evening. The cooking is precise without being showy: good sourcing, right heat, correct timing. The atmosphere is refined for a yakitori spot without losing the casual rhythm that makes the format enjoyable. Go with two or three people to work through the full range of skewers, and book a table rather than arriving on chance.
