Torien

Torien is the sister restaurant to Torishiki in Tokyo, Japan. Known for enhancing traditional Japanese Yakitori into it's most elevated form and present it in a perfect space where customers are the stars and can enjoy a special dining experience using all five of their senses. At Torien we want to share this unique experience in New York City and spread Japanese food culture beyond Japan. Yakitori is a traditional cuisine from ancient times in Japan. It is known to use all the parts of the chicken and serve it in a skewer. The chicken is cooked with binchotan charcoal which enhances its unique flavor. Charcoal has a big role in yakitori and its flavor. At Torien we use the charcoal from Kishu, Japan. This binchotan coats the beautiful fragrance of charcoal on the ingredients. It is known to be the most precious charcoal in the world. We are known to be the only restaurant outside of Japan allowed to use it.
