About Yakitori Jin Haberfield

Skewers sizzle over glowing hibachi coals at this lively Haberfield counter, turning out charcoal-blistered yakitori alongside fresh sashimi. Grab a stool along the open bar for a front-row view of the grill work, where orders of tare-glazed negima and chicken thigh with plum and shiso land straight off the heat. Regulars pair cold beers with wagyu skewers and melt-in-the-mouth nigiri omakase, surrounded by low amber lighting and the rhythmic clatter of an Osaka alley bar. Tables fill weeks out, so booking ahead is key.

  • Front-row kitchen counter: Perch at the bar counter for direct views of the chefs working the hibachi grill.
  • Skewers to sashimi: Charcoal-grilled skewers, sashimi platters, and nigiri omakase offer broad izakaya dining.

  • Broad Raw and Cooked Izakaya Menu

    Beyond grilled yakitori, the kitchen prepares fresh sashimi, nigiri omakase, and izakaya dishes that maintain consistently high standards.

    It’s one of the few places with gigantic menus that actually delivers quality in each dish.

  • Atmosphere Reminiscent of Japan

    The intimate izakaya layout, warm wooden aesthetic, and focused cooking evoke the atmosphere of dining in Osaka or Tokyo.

    reminds me so much of the little place I visited in Osaka.

    Music level is perfect too, very pleasant and you can actually have a conversation.
