The Ultimate Interpretation of Michelin Yakitori in Central

Pushing open the understated wooden door of the Man Nin Building, you are greeted by the unique smoky aroma of binchotan charcoal. This yakitori specialty restaurant, "Hitori," recommended by Michelin in 2025, transforms its lunch omakase into a symphony of chicken flavors. Chicken Meatball Soup The meal begins with a stunning amber-colored clear broth. Though seemingly light, the soup bursts with an intense chicken bone aroma upon tasting. The hand-crafted chicken meatballs have a mousse-like texture. Chicken Skin with Chicken Breast Showcasing the chef's precise control of heat, the chicken skin achieves a perfect semi-transparent amber hue, producing a crisp "crunch" sound when bitten. The underlying chicken breast miraculously retains its tenderness. Accompanying shichimi powder and sansho pepper further enhance the chicken breast's flavor. Grilled Chicken Heart Grilled Chicken Blood Vessels The grilled chicken heart releases pink juices when cut, offering a delicate and refreshing texture. The grilled chicken blood vessels, with their remarkable elasticity, bounce between the teeth, releasing concentrated chicken oil aroma with every chew. Three Small Appetizers "Sweet Shrimp Sashimi" carries the ocean's natural sweetness. "Spinach with Egg Yolk Mustard Sauce" balances the warmth of egg aroma with the sharpness of mustard. "Pickled Chicken Skin" completely overturns expectations—marinated in vinegar, the chicken skin becomes crisp and light, with acidity perfectly countering the fat, a true stroke of genius. Monthly Special Dish Chicken rolls feature springy meat with crunchy burdock inside. The burdock's crispness contrasts beautifully with the chicken's tenderness. Grilled Chicken Thigh Grilled Chicken Shoulder The chicken thigh remains tender, with a glossy exterior post-grilling. The chicken shoulder, paired with citrus juice, creates a delightful chemical reaction between the citrus's tangy aroma and the smoky scent of charcoal. The meat astonishingly combines both crispness and juiciness. Minced Chicken Tsukune with Egg Yolk Sauce A must-try signature dish! Minced chicken mixed with cartilage is perfectly blended and dipped in rich egg yolk soy sauce. Each bite delivers a trio of textures—creamy, crispy, and smooth—making you close your eyes to savor the experience. Chicken White Soup Ramen The broth has a silky, milky texture, enveloping the tongue with rich collagen before revealing the deep sweetness of chicken bones. The ramen clings perfectly to the soup, and the slurping action brings up the broth, compelling you to lick the bowl clean without hesitation. Egg Pudding With a mirror-like smooth surface, the pudding trembles delicately at the touch of a spoon. Upon tasting, the rich egg aroma melts in your mouth, providing a gentle conclusion to this chicken feast. On this sunny afternoon, Hitori proves with charcoal and craftsmanship that even the simplest chicken can be transformed into Michelin-grade art in the hands of a master. As the last bite of pudding slides down your throat, you suddenly understand why this hidden gem leaves diners longing for more. Every skewer here tells a story of the ultimate pursuit of flavor. 📍Shop 2B, 1/F, Man Nin Building, 48 Queen's Road Central, Central
