TORIKIZOKU

　Japanese izakaya chain is a must-visit whenever we’re on a group tour with over 20 people. As it can accommodate large groups, we use it for both lunch and dinner, but naturally, eating at the same chain day after day does start to get a bit monotonous.

　Even at times like that, Torikizoku’s ‘Toriki Bansankai’ set menu is a real lifesaver. It offers two hours of all-you-can-drink and all-you-can-eat, and as orders are placed via tablet, even our international guests can enjoy ordering with ease.

　One item on the all-you-can-eat menu that often prompts the question ‘What on earth is this?’ is the fluffy grilled yam. Although yams have only recently started being exported to the US, they remain an unfamiliar ingredient. What’s more, as it’s served with a raw quail’s egg on top, everyone approaches it with some trepidation. However, once they take a bite, they can’t help but smile.
