01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Located in Shimouma, Setagaya, Asagao is a yakitori parlour known for aromatic grilled skewers, simmering oden infused with a dark broth, and regional Kyushu dishes. Skewers can be ordered starting from 2 piece; though modest in size, they highlight freshness and are grilled thoroughly with great care. The selection spans staples such as tsukune (chicken meatballs) and bonjiri (tail) to drinks-friendly options like sesame-scented liver.
Alongside the skewers, oden forms the other cornerstone of the menu, ordered from 3 piece. The nearly black broth soaks completely into each ingredient, delivering a rustic, robust flavour distinctive to home-style preparation. Alongside draft Asahi Super Dry, the drink list features an impressive range of sweet potato shochu curated by the master, a Kagoshima native.
The casual, relaxed setting works equally well for solo evening drinks or meals with a group, with table service that makes it easy to settle in. For payment, PayPay and Rakuten Pay are accepted in addition to cash, and checks are settled directly at the table.
