🍜 BALITORA - Koenji Main Store (BALITORA 高円寺本店)

BALITOR (Japanese: バリトラ) Koenji Main Store is an izakaya that offers grilled chicken skewers and is quite popular in the Koenji area. This izakaya has many outdoor seating options. The grilled chicken skewers made from fresh chicken start at just 140 yen, making it affordable and tasty. The seasoning used is Ishigaki salt. If you're lucky, you might even get to taste rare parts of the chicken. The restaurant always has over 100 types of drinks available, including sake, umeshu, awamori, and shochu. The second location of this establishment, "Bar matatabi," has a small bar style and is located nearby.

The chicken liver is especially fresh, making it easy for even those who are not fond of eating offal to accept it. It is recommended to try the sashimi "鳥わさ (Torii Wasa)" made from fresh chicken purchased that morning. There are various creative menu items, such as "肉団子 (Nikudango)" filled with chicken stuffed into mushrooms, as well as "焼き納豆巻き (Yaki Natto Maki)." We also offer over 100 different drinks.
