Experience the one and only Wood-Fire yakitori style

RESERVE

Makitori Shinkobe is a modern Japanese yakitori restaurant built around an elemental force:
the firewood flame. Embracing the wild heat and aroma of 薪火 (maki-bi),
every skewer is infused with the complexity and character only open wood fire can create.

Chefs practice quietly,
perfecting every detail

Fire is alive - always changing, always demanding focus

A calum space where craft and respect meet
