NAKANO: Daikichi Yakitori cozy counter and great yakitori toppings! Easy for lone diners. (Sony RX100)


My 2nd attempt to give Nakano Daikichi a try! Best not to go around 7pm as it can get very busy. 

The automatic appetizer... cabbage was a bit on the too green side.  Cabbage turns green as it ages... continues to grow especially if exposed to light. 

Bottled beer a must! 

Hand Towel.

The mixed alcoholic drinks were all in Japanese. Jin, Wine, shochu, nihonshu, casis, soft drinks, whisky.

Beer, zero alcohol beer, sour and whisky hi-balls 

Great thing about this franchise is all the variety of toppings and friendly price point. 


My counter view. 

Must get very busy here... they have a pen and paper to write down orders.


Counter seating view of the kitchen area.  Suggest not sitting in front of the grill because its quite warm there. 

One Negi-Banban 

One Kara-Tomato (Spicy)




The shiso maki was very flavorful. 

Backstreet Boys on the BGM!

Must have been around 9:30pm at this time... only me. 

Daily specials. 


Had to get seconds! Noticed it takes about 10 minutes for the yakitori to come out... a good sign.  They take their time to properly grill the yakitori. 



Free mini ice cream! 

When considering an inexpensive Yakitori Franchise we normally think of Torikizoku with their food/drink 298yem menu BUT!  Daikichi is franchised to individual owners and the staff is very friendly.   If you spot one definitely give it a try!
