𓄪 The Ultimate Expression of Michelin Yakitori in Central

𓄳 𓄳 𓄳 Push open the understated wooden door of the Man Nin Building, and you are greeted by the unique smoky aroma of Binchotan charcoal. This Michelin-recommended yakitori specialty restaurant "Ki Tori," recognized in 2025, transforms the chef’s lunch offerings into a symphonic experience centered on chicken. 𓂑 Chicken Meatball Chicken Soup The clear amber broth amazes at first sip; what seems like a light soup base bursts with an intense chicken bone aroma. The hand-made chicken meatballs have a mousse-like, dense texture. 𓂑 Chicken Skin with Chicken Breast Showcasing the chef’s precise control of heat—the chicken skin is perfectly translucent amber, crunching crisply with a "crack" sound, while the chicken breast underneath miraculously remains tender. The accompanying shichimi and sansho powders enhance the chicken breast’s flavor. 𓂑 Grilled Chicken Heart 𓂑 Grilled Chicken Vein The grilled chicken heart releases pink juices when cut, with a delicate and refreshing texture. The grilled chicken vein bounces elastically between the teeth, releasing a concentrated chicken fat aroma the more you chew. 𓂑 Three Small Appetizers The "Sweet Shrimp Sashimi" carries the ocean’s sweetness, the "Spinach with Egg Yolk Mustard Sauce" balances the sharpness of mustard with a mellow egg aroma; and the "Chicken Skin" completely overturns expectations—vinegar-pickled chicken skin becomes crisp and light, with acidity perfectly breaking down the fat, a true genius creation. 𓂑 This Month’s Delicacy The chicken roll is springy, filled with crunchy burdock root, creating a wonderful contrast between the crisp burdock and tender chicken. 𓂑 Grilled Chicken Thigh 𓂑 Grilled Chicken Shoulder The chicken thigh is very tender, with a glossy exterior after grilling. The chicken shoulder paired with citrus juice creates a brilliant chemical reaction in the mouth between the citrus’s acidity and the smoky charcoal aroma, with the meat simultaneously exhibiting both crispness and juiciness—two seemingly contradictory qualities. 𓂑 Minced Chicken Tsukimi Stick A must-order signature! Perfectly mixing minced chicken with cartilage, dipped in rich egg yolk soy sauce, each bite offers a triple texture of dense, crispy, and smooth, making you close your eyes to fully savor it. 𓂑 Chicken White Broth Ramen The broth has a silky milky white texture; upon tasting, the rich collagen coats the tongue, followed by a deep, fresh chicken bone sweetness. The ramen holds the broth perfectly, and as you slurp, the soup lifts with the noodles, making you forget your manners as you lick the bowl clean. 𓂑 Egg Pudding The surface is smooth as a mirror, trembling gently at the touch of a spoon. Upon tasting, the rich egg aroma melts in your mouth, as if gently concluding this chicken feast. On this sunlit afternoon, Ki Tori proves with charcoal and craftsmanship that even the most ordinary chicken can be transformed into Michelin-level art in the hands of a master. When the last spoonful of pudding slides down your throat, you suddenly understand why this hidden gem lingers in diners’ memories. Because every skewer here tells a story of the ultimate pursuit of deliciousness. 𓄳 𓄳 𓄳 📍 Shop 2B, 1/F, Man Nin Building, 48 Queen’s Road Central, Central
