Bringing the authentic Japanese yakitori-ya experience to the Philippines, TORIKIZOKU invites diners to discover its signature grilled chicken skewers, comforting Japanese specialties, and delightful desserts in a welcoming space made for gathering over good food and conversation.<\/p>\n

From Osaka to the Philippines: The Story of TORIKIZOKU<\/span><\/h2>\n

Founded in Osaka, Japan, in 1985, TORIKIZOKU has grown from a Japanese yakitori restaurant into a well-known dining chain with more than 600 stores across Japan. Over the years, it has built its reputation on freshly grilled chicken skewers, carefully selected ingredients, welcoming service, and a lively yet comfortable dining experience.<\/p>\n

At the center of TORIKIZOKU’s dining concept is the Japanese tradition of yakitori<\/strong>, which consists of bite-sized pieces of chicken grilled on skewers. Served fresh from the grill, these skewers are traditionally enjoyed alongside drinks and other Japanese specialties, making them a popular choice for casual meals and gatherings.<\/p>\n

As the brand continues to expand internationally, its arrival in the Philippines introduces Filipino diners to the atmosphere of a Japanese yakitori-ya, where freshly prepared food and shared dining experiences take center stage.<\/p>\n

A Taste of Japan: TORIKIZOKU’s Yakitori and Japanese Specialties<\/span><\/h2>\n

Among the dishes to look forward to are the Kizokuyaki Thigh Sauce<\/strong> and Kizokuyaki Breast Salt<\/strong>, two yakitori selections featuring different cuts of chicken and seasonings. Diners may also explore other Japanese favorites, including Chicken Kamameshi<\/strong>, Chicken Nanban<\/strong>, and Chicken Meatball with Cheese<\/strong>, offering more choices to complement a satisfying yakitori meal.<\/p>\n

For a sweet ending, the Chocolate Parfait with Churros<\/strong> adds a delightful dessert option, making it a treat for those who enjoy finishing their meals with something sweet.<\/p>\n

With its selection of grilled chicken skewers, comforting Japanese specialties, and desserts, TORIKIZOKU brings together the familiar flavors of Japanese casual dining in a setting that encourages guests to share a meal and enjoy each other’s company.<\/p>\n

A Japanese Dining Experience Made for Gathering<\/span><\/h2>\n

More than a destination for grilled chicken skewers, TORIKIZOKU brings the lively and welcoming atmosphere of a Japanese yakitori-ya to BGC.<\/p>\n

Its dining concept encourages guests to enjoy freshly prepared food while sharing conversations with friends, colleagues, and family. From casual lunches and after-work meals to weekend gatherings, the restaurant offers an opportunity to experience a popular Japanese dining tradition without leaving Metro Manila.<\/p>\n

Adding a playful touch to its Philippine debut is Torikki<\/strong>, TORIKIZOKU’s official yellow mascot<\/strong>. Ahead of the restaurant’s opening, Torikki installations have appeared around Serendra, featuring different poses inspired by the Philippines and Japan. Each installation includes a QR code that guests can scan to receive updates and make reservations.<\/p>\n

With its signature yakitori, Japanese comfort food, and inviting dining atmosphere, TORIKIZOKU is set to bring a taste of Japan’s casual dining culture to the Philippines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
