Tori Jukusei: Dry-Aged Yakitori in Causeway Bay.

In the heart of Causeway Bay, Tori Jukusei sets itself apart with a unique focus on dry-aged poultry and meats, carefully prepared in a temperature-controlled cabinet to enhance tenderness and aroma. From Sanhuang chicken to Japanese jidori, the skewers here arrive piping hot, fresh from the grill, for maximum enjoyment.

Highlights include the juicy chicken thigh, the creative boneless wing tip, and the richly flavoured dry-aged pigeon. Diners will also find inventive pairings like pork and lychee rolls, creamy chicken liver skewers, and sides such as grilled pineapple, corn, and crispy onigiri – all balancing the smoky richness of the yakitori. A comforting chicken soup udon rounds out the experience.

What makes Tori Jukusei special is not just the dry-aging process but also its willingness to experiment. While some skewers can feel a touch oily or less intense in flavour, the pigeon stands out as a true star with its juicy center and perfectly crisped skin. With its warm, cozy space and affordable omakase menu, Tori Jukusei is a welcome addition to Hong Kong’s Japanese dining scene.
