A veteran shop loved by the locals for many years. The unchanged taste of the yakitori goes to show they are particular about good flavor.
There was a time when I walked around and ate at all the yakitori shops in the city, tells Mr. Shigeyama. His love for yakitori lead him to open his "Yakitori House Nonchan" in 1984. You can take the finest quality ingredients for granted, and every skewer is carefully prepared by hand in-house. There is no end to the regulars who make their way in for a taste of Mr. Shigeyama's carefully crafted yakitori.

Enjoy "Kushiage" (fried skewers), have fun with the chef, and understand its depth.
After graduating from culinary school, he hoped to become a patissier, so he began working at a French restaurant through an introduction from the school. Following that an acquaintance introduced me to a steakhouse. Ultimately, he wound up working at several different restaurants. When he turned 30, he began thinking about the chef he wanted to become. He started at a kushiage (fried skewers) restaurant. It was his first time interacting with customers at a counter. As a chef, there was nothing better than directly seeing a customer's reaction. 15 years has since passed and he has continued working as a kushiage chef.
