Birders

Grilled chicken on a stick might seem like a simple concept, but Birders does so much more than that. Chicken parts are elevated beyond the normal sprinkling of salt, with different sauces paired with parts such as heart ($4) with spring onions and ginger, and breast ($3.50) with mustard and panko. The yakitori restaurant also has one of the best chicken liver pâtés ($16) in town, served with a side of deep fried mantou sliders and yuzu marmalade. Wash it all down with a wide variety of sake, including affordable, single-serve sake cups if you don't feel like shelling out for the full bottle.
