Shinya Shokudo

Shinya Shokudo bills itself as Seattle's first dedicated yakitori restaurant, with a Tokyo-trained chef grilling the full range of chicken cuts as well as wagyu and seafood skewers over tare or salt. The vibe is casual and late-leaning, fitting for a yakitori-ya, with a drink list that spans beer, sake, wine, and cocktails alongside imported Japanese breweries' products. The Tukwila location is one of two the group operates, the other being in Redmond/Bellevue, both apparently sharing the same yakitori-focused concept.
