Read: 17 Japanese Restaurants in Singapore for every budget.

A yakitori restaurant is not something that you would typically imagine popping up around neighbourhood areas let alone in the middle of a park, but ToriYard is perhaps the first exception.

Taking over the premise of the now-defunct The Cornerstone in Bishan Park, this newly-opened yakitori joint by actress-turned-business owner Jazreel Low is where your best pals, a round of wind-down drinks and an array of masterfully grilled meat skewers go hand-in-hand.

The restaurant’s overall aesthetic is kept fairly minimalistic but with an industrial edge. The bar area showcases their wide range of sakes, wines and spirits, while the sauce bar displays several types of condiments that you can pair with your meal.

The menu is curated and designed by Tokyo native, Chef Hasegawa Isao, who has had close to 40 years of culinary experience in Japan, France and Malaysia. For lunch choose from a wide array of chicken-focused yakitori skewers, side dishes as well as donburi and teisyoko (set lunches).

A greater variety of yakitori options are available in their dinner menu with more meats such as pork and beef.

The Shake Don (S$17)—essentially a donburi filled with thick chunks of salmon, ikura, avocado and tamago—is a great option to get if you’re a salmon lover. The bowl comes with sides comprising miso soup, salad and pickles that all do well to complement the fat-filled dish as well as to bulk up your lunch.

For lunch, there are a total of 10 chicken-focused yakitori options to choose from. We got a variety of 5 different skewers namely the Chicken Skin (S$4), Chicken Fillet (S$4), Chicken Tail (S$4), Chicken Soft Bone (S$4) and lastly the Chicken Wing (S$4).

Grilled to perfection over a special charcoal that the restaurant imports directly from Japan, the Chicken Wing (S$4) boasts an irresistibly crispy skin adorned with a few charred edges.

Despite having very little seasoning, we were surprised by how tasty the chicken was by itself. The outside was crispy with mild smoky notes from the charcoal and the meat in the centre was succulent and tender.

While many might shun the chicken’s backside, we urge you to order up their Chicken Tail (S$4). Grilled to a golden hue and licked with their house-made teriyaki sauce, each bite promises a refreshing hit of tender, smoky chicken, with a touch of umami and sweetness.

The various yakitori offerings might hold their own wonderfully well but should you desire some additional kick, proceed further past the kitchen counter to the condiment station where you can feel free to indulge in as much or as little condiments as you like.

After everything that’s been said, done and devoured, we can’t help but admit that we loved everything about ToriYard from its non-pretentious yakitori options, its serene ambience and exceptional service. What else can we say? If you love grilled meat skewers and good vibes then ToriYard is a joint that you should seriously hit up.

The rising popularity of izakayas in Singapore is no surprise, especially with Singapore’s growing bar scene that sees drinking holes in all forms and themes.

An Izakaya is essentially Japan’s equivalent to a Spanish tapas bar where you get to dine and drink under one roof. The answer to the woes of the Japanese working class, Izakayas are seen as a haven where people can go to after work to enjoy a tipple, snack on some food and unwind with their mates.

Whether it is an ice-cold beer you crave or something a little more punchy, here are 10 Izakaya bars in Singapore for you to unwind, get fed or simply to drown out your sorrows.

#1 EN BAR

Previously known as En Grill & Bar, En Bar—located along Mohamed Sultan Road—is a contemporary bar and lounge where you are greeted with a selection of Asian and Western tapas and a neat range of Japanese alcohol such as Sake Shochu, Awamori, wines and spirits.

If you are keen on trying something new, do approach their bartenders for a unique cocktail concoction!

#2 FIVE IZAKAYA

Besides their enticing S$5 beer promotions, FIVE Izakaya is a pretty solid place to catch up with friends or colleagues over some yummy grub. Alcohol never runs dry here but perhaps one of the more underrated qualities of this long-time establishment is its food.

From bar bites to authentic Japanese fare, their food offerings are massive.

Located along Circular Road is newly-opened Yatagarasu, a quaint little eatery devoted to serving up authentic Japanese chargrilled meat skewers.

Besides the usual skewers you would expect to find at most yakitori joints, you can expect a pretty impressive selection of 10 innovative pork belly-wrapped creations here as well ranging from enoki mushroom to curry rice..

This unassuming yakitori joint along Circular Road makes for a good, robust meal with your mates before you pop over just a few steps away to the boat quay area for a tipple or two.

Although small and pretty hard to notice from the outside, the establishment is homely; small and cosy with minimal decor. The dining area features a long bar counter and an open concept kitchen in which diners can watch as the chef works his magic and indulge in the scent of perfectly grilled meats.

Freshness and quality are taken very seriously here, which is why every individual skewer is prepared fresh whenever an order comes in.

During dinner service, the menu is kept relatively straightforward with yakitori playing a more upfront role, but they also have a large variety of side dishes you can add into your mix to make for a more substantial meal.

We went for a variety of chicken yakitori parts such as the usual, more forgiving thigh, wing and fillet section, as well as some odd ends such as the liver, heart and soft bone. Prices start from S$2.50 per stick.

We highly recommend the chicken thigh as it is much more tender and juicy as opposed to the fillet. However, despite the fillet being a tad bit dryer in texture, it came with a citrusy, almost yuzu-like garnish which really brightened the dish up.

If you happen to adore the gamy, iron-like flavour of liver then you should definitely go for the chicken liver. Cooked medium, the liver exudes a charred and crispy exterior, whilst maintaining a smooth and velvety interior which literally melts in your mouth.

The chicken heart, on the other hand, was pretty darn amazing too. Crispy on the outside, it had a nice chew which was a good contrast to the melty liver.

Having read so many reviews about their pork belly wraps, we could not resist trying them. We opted for the Curry Rice (S$6) which was essentially a compact ball of Japanese curry rice wrapped in strips of pork belly.

It arrived with an additional ladle of curry and a generous sprinkling of pickles. In terms of taste, it was decent but nothing worth shouting about, although we have to give the chef props for his creativeness.

Yakitori bars have been sprouting up a lot recently in Singapore, especially with the pairing of cocktails and Japanese meat skewers gaining immense popularity. Nestled along the cafe-strewn street of Bukit Pasoh Road lies Chikin, a new Yakitori bar that dishes out hearty meat skewers with a twist.

Opened by the owners of Sum Yi Tai, Chikin is an unassuming bar which specialises in clever cocktail infusions, comforting Japanese eats as well as Szechuan mala yakitori—the first of its kind. Combining traditional Japanese methods with mouth watering Szechuan flavours, Chikin aims to reshape the way we think and feel about Japanese yakitori forever.

The first floor features a neon-lit open concept kitchen and bar with a gorgeous marble bar top and the walls are covered in cheeky murals that encompass Japanese pop culture elements. With a mixture of hip-hop and clubby tunes playing in the background, stepping into Chikin almost feels like being in a club.

Chikin’s menu boasts a variety of Izakaya-style dishes to complete the dining experience. Among these are spicy variations of Japanese street snacks and comforting Japanese favourites and with a namesake like Chikin, it is not hard to guess that most of their skewers are going to made of chicken.

Ensuring no part of a chicken goes to waste, their selection of yakitori features several unconventional parts such as windpipe, heart and cartilage—which are surprisingly delicious if you are ballsy enough to try them.

Using Japanese methods of grilling skewers over binchotan flames, Chikin marries the art of Japanese Yakitori with mouth watering Szechuan spices in a creative effort to combine the best of two Asian disciplines.

We opted for a selection of 6 different chicken parts—the thigh meat (S$3), skin (S$3), ‘oyster’ (S$4) which is essentially the breast meat portion of the chicken, heart (S$3.50), cartilage (S$3.50) and chicken meatballs (S$4.50)

Spice lovers will most definitely fall head-over-heels with this. Their meat is pre-marinated in a mixture of Szechuan spices and just before serving, is dusted with more Szechuan spices. With varying degrees of spiciness, get your lips ready to be numbed in the midst of savouring the succulence of the grilled meat.

Our top three favourites were the chicken skin, chicken thigh and chicken heart.

The skin was incredibly crisp with a light dusting of spices to give it a slight kick. The heart may seem daunting at first, but it is actually really tasty with an interesting texture to it—tender and not off-putting at all.

Overall, this is a great place to hang out be it after work or not. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves from the great skewers, friendly staff, right down to the sexy interior (of which is perfect for selfies).

If you love Japanese yakitori and craft beer, then Toriki is a joint you should definitely check out.

Situated on the 4th level of JCube, overlooking Singapore’s only Olympic ice rink, diners can look forward to authentic Japanese eats like assorted donburi and classic old school yakitori grilled over a special binchotan charcoal.

Toriki is a affordable yakitori restaurant that even the Japanese palette will agree with and we are sure yours will too. With no GST & service charges, it just makes dining here even better.

Toriki exudes an industrial theme with a good balance of modern and minimalistic decor—not overly pretentious just the way we like it.

We were indeed very impressed at how massive their range of alcoholic beverages was. Be spoiled for choice with their wide selection of craft beers originating from Australia to Japan, rare sakes and house-crafted cocktails that feature a Japanese twist—such as their Matcha Whiskey cocktail.

The founders of Toriki lived abroad in Japan for many years and decided to bring what they love, back to Singapore. Their yakitori is grilled in a classic traditional method that uses a special Japanese Binchotan charcoal.

Binchotan is a type of white Japanese charcoal that is regarded as the best quality charcoal around. It is a very pure high carbon charcoal made from oak. Unlike lump charcoal and briquettes, because of the high carbon content, it is completely odourless—enabling you to enjoy the natural flavours of the food.

One does not simply come to a yakitori joint without ordering yakitori hence, we got just that—the Yakitori Don (S$9.90) to be exact. This lunch item comprises 4 different skewers—chicken thighs with leek, chicken breast, chicken liver and chicken heart, all served a Japanese short grain rice.

The meat was tender and the sweet sauce really helped bring the dish to life. We particularly fancied the charred edges that carried a subtle smokiness from the charcoal. All in all, a satisfying lunch and a solid accompaniment to an ice-cold pint.

For those who are not too keen on innards, you can always choose to swap them out for additional skewers of chicken meat instead. 

Their Bara Chirashi Don (S$17.90) features 4 different types of fish—salmon, tuna, swordfish and ikura. We liked that the ingredients were fresh and flavourful. And while it may not be the best Chirashi Don in Singapore, it is a pretty decent rendition.

Overall, we liked the cosy vibe at this hidden gem and being huge fans of craft beer and quirky cocktails, we can safely say that we will most definitely be returning to try them all.

Satsuma Shochu Dining Bar is a Shochu speciality izakaya at The Gallery Hotel that is known for serving yummy charcoal-grill skewers.

If you are searching for a great after work spot for food and drinks with friends, check out Satsuma at Robertson Quay. It is certainly a place I can see myself frequently whenever I feel like having Japanese food.

The menu is huge – you can get anything from the typical pork belly ($5), chicken wing ($7) and chicken liver ($4), to stuff like quail eggs ($4), silver cod ($15) and lamb chop (19). We did a quick count, and there are more than sixty items under the charcoal-grill section.

On top of that, Satsuma also has other categories like cold dishes – salmon and avocado tartare ($20), tofu salad with Japanese dressing (12); hot dishes – dried puffer fish ($16), ox tongue stew ($12), octopus with garlic butter ($20); sashimi – salmon ($17), assorted raw fish platter ($49); and deep fried items – mozarella cheese with sauce ($12), and soft shell crab ($12).

During lunch, it has several good value sets that are mostly priced under $20. We shared a mixed grilled rice set ($22) which came with five skewers: mushroom, unagi, meatball, chicken with leek, asparagus roll with pork. In addition, we also had two sticks of cheese rolled with pork ($5), and ox tongue ($9). Everything was good, but in particular, I loved the unagi and ox tongue.

Satsuma at Robertson Quay is known to be very popular at night, so imagine our surprise when we went there during lunch and it turned out that we were the only customers in the restaurant.

If you like charcoal-grilled skewers, Satsuma is definitely the place to go. And of course, given that it is a Shochu speciality restaurant, you cannot leave without having a glass of the popular alcoholic beverage.
