Step into Yakitori Yurippi in Crows Nest and you’ll find the warmth of a traditional Japanese izakaya, where yakitori is the star of the menu.

Mark how many of each yakitori you’d like on the order sheet, pour yourself some sake, and before long the food will start arriving.

First to arrive are the burdock root chips which are the perfect drinking snack followed by tsukune chicken meatballs with 63 degree egg.

Grilled corn, okra and unagi are next. Then the grilled scallops with konbu butter and juicy king mushrooms.

My fave of the lot was the buttery miso cod, and next faves were the chicken skin which was a crispy textural delight, then the tender Wagyu short rib and fatty chicken tail.

Dessert was a scoop of refreshing yuzu sorbet and a few more drinks upstairs in the sports bar.
