About this place
Step past the doorway curtains to the aroma of grilled chicken, and an unpretentious, comfortable izakaya atmosphere welcomes you inside. Located in the Prestige 362 building in Shinjuku's Yamabukicho, Yakitori no Ogiya Edogawabashi offers both counter and table seating, making it an easy drop-in spot whether having a solo drink or gathering with friends.
Charcoal-Grilled Skewers and Signature Bariteba Wings to Start Your Drink
Once seated, the first order of business is the charcoal-grilled yakitori, cooked over embers until fragrant. Alongside staples like domestic chicken thigh (momo) and skewered chicken with scallion (negima), the five-skewer platter—featuring momo, negima, skin (kawa), chicken meatballs (tsukune), and tail (bonjiri)—is a dependable choice available seasoned with either salt or tare glaze. Fried chicken wings known as bariteba, coated in a secret sauce, as well as a lighter seasoned salt option, also pair naturally with a glass of beer or a highball.
Hearty Side Dishes and Comforting Kamameshi Rice to Finish
Between rounds of skewers, classic izakaya dishes like slow-simmered beef tendon stew and crisp fried horse mackerel bring comforting warmth to the table. To close the meal, seasoned rice cooked in an iron pot (kamameshi) comes in options like savory chicken and mixed vegetables (tori gomoku) or Fukagawa-style clam, offering a thoroughly satisfying finish rich with the aroma of dashi broth.
The shop also operates during lunch and provides takeout, serving as a dependable stop for everyday daytime meals or a relaxed drink after work.
