Why go
This eight-seat omakase counter earned its Tabelog 100 - Chicken cuisine spot within a year of opening. At JPY 20,000-29,999 plus service, it delivers precision-grilled and simmered chicken in a minimal Roppongi hideout; worth it if you want fine-dining yakitori and can book two to three weeks ahead.

Restaurant context
At JPY 20,000-29,999 before service, this counter charges more than YAKITORI Moe es (JPY 15,000-19,999) but less than Miyake Akira (JPY 30,000+). If you want chicken-focused omakase with Tabelog recognition and are willing to pay for it, the eight-seat format here delivers intimacy that larger yakitori counters can't match. Kobayashi offers a different high-level counter experience in Tokyo, though its menu and price tier will vary. Koho (Chinese) and Ajiman (Fugu) sit in separate categories entirely, so compare only if you're flexible on cuisine type.
The reservation-only policy and Instagram-request ban make booking slightly more difficult than casual yakitori spots, but far easier than Michelin three-stars. If you can't secure a seat here, YAKITORI Moe es offers strong yakitori omakase at a lower price point with more seats and better walk-in odds. For splurge-worthy chicken, this counter justifies the price if you value Tabelog recognition and a minimal, eight-seat room. For better value without sacrificing quality, drop down to the JPY 15,000-19,999 tier and book a more established yakitori specialist.
