Ribatei is a famous shop for yakitori located in Yokohama. Although it’s a bit far from the city centre of Tokyo, it worth a trip to pay a visit.
Another good thing about this place is that, it’s rather easy to make a reservation. I would say it’s a pretty good choice if you can’t get into Torishiki. Nevertheless, their skewers are greasier than the ones served in Torishiki. Although I enjoyed the Yakitori in both places, I preferred the ones in Torishiki.
If you still have the appetite after the meal, you can try their curry fried rice.
