The take
The Take
The Vibe
Yakitori Takase presents itself as a quietly refined yakitori spot focused on premium chicken and a low-key atmosphere. The menu highlights grilled black Satsuma chicken and Nagoya Cochin yakitori, all prepared over traditional Binchotan charcoal, which gives the skewers a restrained, focused smokiness. The listing positions the restaurant as a serene adult hideaway, signaling an intimate, tucked-away energy rather than a boisterous izakaya. It reads like a place to slow down and appreciate careful grilling and quality ingredients in a calm setting, with an emphasis on a grown-up, relaxed dining moment.
Best For
This Yakitori Takase suits intimate dinners and quiet evenings where the food is the priority. The combination of specialty birds — black Satsuma and Nagoya Cochin — and Binchotan charcoal cooking makes it a natural choice for diners who want a focused, ingredient-driven meal rather than a loud group outing. The description’s ‘adult hideaway’ framing points to occasions like date night or a low-key celebration for two, when guests seek a serene spot to enjoy carefully grilled skewers and a deliberate, measured dining pace.
Ordering Tips
Reserve ahead — the listing notes online reservations are available — and plan your visit with the no-smoking policy in mind. The menu callouts single out black Satsuma chicken and Nagoya Cochin yakitori cooked over Binchotan charcoal, so prioritize those signature skewers to experience the restaurant’s core strengths. Given the intimate, serene atmosphere highlighted in the description, arrive ready to savor the charcoal nuance and the craftsmanship in each skewer rather than seeking a fast, casual meal.

Restaurant context
Yakitori Takase charges JPY 8,000-9,999 for a counter-focused yakitori meal, placing it at the higher end of Hiroshima's grilled-chicken options. Shunrai runs JPY 4,000-4,999 with a broader kaiseki-leaning menu, while Seichan (JPY 2,000-2,999) and Fumi Chan Nagarekawa ten (JPY 1,000-1,999) offer neighborhood yakitori at lower price points. Takase's Tabelog 100 recognition and binchotan-grilled premium poultry justify the premium if you're prioritizing technique and sourcing. For casual yakitori or group dining, Seichan or Fumi Chan deliver better value. If the ten-seat counter format appeals and you're comfortable with the cost, Takase is worth the reservation effort.
Booking difficulty at Takase is moderate, reserve three to five days ahead, not three weeks. Shunrai and Seichan are easier to secure last-minute. Tomisuke and ルペール offer alternative formats if yakitori counters don't suit your group size or budget. For a quiet, focused yakitori experience with premium ingredients, Takase competes well at its price. For broader Hiroshima dining, pair a visit here with Hiroshima's bar scene or local experiences to round out the evening.
