At Gaku Yakitori, the menu offers a delightful array of skewers, braised dishes, appetizers, and more, all designed to tantalize your taste buds with bold, authentic flavors. The star of the show are the skewers, where you'll find a variety of options, from the crispy, savory chicken skin (Kawa) and tender thigh (Mi) to the unique knee cartilage (Nankotsu) and gizzard (Sunagimo). Each skewer is perfectly grilled to bring out the best in its flavor, ensuring a memorable dining experience.
For those who enjoy a bit of variety, the vegetable skewers are just as enticing. The grilled cherry tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms, and Japanese green chilies (Shishito) offer a light yet satisfying contrast to the rich, smoky meats, while the king oyster mushrooms (Eringi) add an earthy depth to the mix.
If you're in the mood for something more substantial, Gaku’s braised and steamed dishes like the Kakuni and Asari are a must-try. The Kakuni, a melt-in-your-mouth braised pork belly, is rich and savory, while the Asari, served with a delicate broth, offers a more refreshing, oceanic flavor.
No meal would be complete without a starter or side, and Gaku has plenty to offer. Try the crispy Taro Ribbon Crisps or the tangy Torikawa Ponzu for something unique. If you prefer something lighter, the fresh House Green Salad or Shio Dare Salad is a perfect balance to the heartier dishes.
Finish your meal with one of Gaku's noodle dishes, like the refreshing Ume Udon or the savory Gaku Udon, both guaranteed to satisfy. Whether you're here for the skewers or the unique side dishes, Gaku Yakitori’s menu promises a dining experience that’s both diverse and delicious.
