Yakitori Boston Meat Skewer

Yakitori is the preparation of skewering the meat with kushi (串), a type of skewer typically made of steel or bamboo. The skewers are grilled over a charcoal fire - and pair perfectly with a cold crisp beer, Japanese whiskey, cocktail, or sake!

Using chicken from local farms to create a charcoal- grilled skewer we focus on yakitori and chicken dishes . We offer our prided yakitori that maximizes the flavor of the chicken with our special salt, secret seasoning, and unique sauce (tare).

Delicious bowl of pork Ramen at Tori Jiro in Boston

Our ramen soup base recipe is directly from Japan where they are served in over 50 of Tori Jiro's locations.  We are the first restaurant to bring chicken-based ramen to New England.  Our experts in Japan created this distinguished taste unique from the usual pork-based ramen.   We serve the original ramen base along with a few optional toppings that are specific to our restaurant here in Watertown.
