Yakitori Torimasa

Torimasa is a Nagasaki yakitori izakaya that takes its chicken sourcing seriously, working with local farms to get birds with more flavor than the standard. At the counter or table, skewers come out steadily from the grill: thigh, breast, liver, skin, and cartilage, each lightly salted or brushed with tare. The atmosphere is warm and energetic, the kind of place where families and groups settle in for the evening rather than passing through. Go with a few people and order widely across the menu.
