Tori: Chicken 鳥

Sumi: Charcoal 炭

Tori Sumi Yakitori is a Japanese popup concept dedicated to introducing American diners to the craft of grilled chicken on a stick. We strive to showcase whole animal butchery in a fun, approachable environment with the goal of eventually opening a full service restaurant showcasing izakaya cuisine.

Common throughout Japan, yakitori is traditionally skewered chicken pieces that are carefully roasted over a extremely hot charcoal called binchotan (備長炭). Like most of the world’s best cuisines, yakitori has evolved from a humble street food into a Michelin starred fine dining experience elevating the craft of roasting chicken to an artform.

Tori Sumi is also offering private in-home catering showcasing seasonal ingredients and a traditional yakitori tasting menu experience.
