Japanese restaurant • 5-chōme-5-11 Ginza, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-0061, Japan
Situated in a quiet alley just off the bustling streets of Ginza is a renowned yakitori and kama-meshi restaurant. New Tori Gin represents a new challenge for the independent owner, separating from the established Ginza restaurant, Tori Gin.
The yakitori dishes reflect the years of experience and fresh creativity of the grill masters. Apart from the quality of the ingredients, the perfect balance of salt and grilling is alluring. Unique menu items such as the flavorful chicken breast with wasabi and the grilled shiitake and enoki mushrooms reveal the ingenuity put into them.
The famous kama-meshi reflects both tradition and innovation. While the ingredients remain the familiar mixed kama-meshi, the addition of crunchy bamboo shoots and vibrant pumpkin adds a new dimension to the dish.
The three-story restaurant exudes a retro ambiance with a sense of openness. The somewhat narrow seating area gives the feel of the bustling crowd unique to this popular restaurant. The presence of numerous foreign customers signifies the international charm of Ginza.
New Tori Gin offers a taste experience of a new era, breaking the norms of traditional yakitori restaurants. The ultimate flavors, woven by traditional techniques and modern sensibilities, are definitely worth experiencing firsthand.
