Our Vission
To be Singapore’s most beloved destination for authentic yakitori, where tradition meets taste and every visit feels like coming home to Japan.
Our Mission
We’re committed to honoring the art of yakitori by sourcing the finest ingredients, perfecting traditional grilling techniques, and creating warm, memorable dining experiences that bring people together. Every skewer we serve is a tribute to Japanese culinary craftsmanship and a celebration of shared moments around the grill.
Our Culture
At Best Yakitori, we cultivate curiosity, respect, and genuine hospitality. We write like a trusted host at the counter—knowledgeable yet welcoming—because great food is technical and emotional. Craft matters, but so does how it makes people feel. We slow down for the small rituals that matter—the quiet nod from the itamae, the lacquer setting on a skewer, the warm welcome that steadies the room. Our writing preserves these moments, translating technique into comfort so readers feel guided, not judged, and every visit becomes a lesson in care, craft, and joy.
Meet The Team
Behind Best Yakitori is a small, focused crew obsessed with charcoal craft and clear guidance. We taste at the counter, take notes by the grill, and translate technique into warm, practical advice—so you know not just where to go, but how to get the most from every skewer.
– Yaki Tori
Our editorial voice stands at the grill, reading the lacquer on tare, the snap of hatsu, and the calm pacing of a great itamae. It translates technique and tradition into warm, practical guidance so readers can choose with intention and enjoy the ritual of yakitori without guesswork.
– Aiko Tanaka
Aiko writes like a trusted host at the counter. With a focus on binchotan craft, sacred cuts, and dining etiquette, Aiko’s pieces blend sensory detail with clear frameworks—how to order, what signals true fire control, and why certain cuts sing with shio or tare. Her goal is simple: make authentic yakitori feel welcoming, insightful, and unforgettable.
