At this yakitori restaurant, you can cook meat right at the table over a mini charcoal grill. But you might get distracted by the stunning cherry blossoms right outside the windows. The second-floor seats are particularly impressive as you’ll be at eye level with the top of the trees.
If you can tear your eyes away from the view outside, order up Akira's charcoal-grilled chicken thighs, which pair wonderfully with a glass of sake or shochu. As you would expect, this scenic spot gets crowded come cherry blossom season, so make sure you book yourself a table well in advance.
