JapaneseYakitoriTokyo import28 chicken partsMichelin GuideCentral

Toritama arrived in Hong Kong directly from its Tokyo neighbourhood roots, bringing with it a menu built around 40-day-old chickens and an anatomical commitment to using 28 distinct parts of the bird, including rarely served cuts like sweetbread. The Michelin-selected counter on Glenealy is small, intimate and loyal to the spirit of a Tokyo yakitori joint.

About
Toritama in Tokyo earned its reputation as an authentic neighbourhood yakitori restaurant by sourcing young, flavourful 40-day-old birds and offering a more comprehensive use of the chicken than virtually any competitor — 28 distinct parts appear on the menu. The Hong Kong outpost maintains this philosophy at a compact Glenealy address in Central, with a semi-open kitchen counter and a small private room that seats seven to nine guests. The à la carte menu enables guests to build their own sequence of skewers, or choose from 7-, 10- and 12-skewer set courses that include salad, rice and dessert. Seasonal homemade pickles complement the skewers perfectly. With over 80 types of sake on the drinks menu, plus whisky and wine, the beverage programme matches the food's Japanese conviction. Michelin Guide 2026 recognised the restaurant.
Neighborhood & visiting

Toritama sits in Central, one of Hong Kong's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused yakitori counter this is strongly recommended. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional yakitori restaurants often close between service periods.
