I was determined to eat as many different local dishes as possible, and yakitori seemed like the best way to conclude my Tokyo trip.

It was by pure chance that I found myself back at Bistro Fukumimi Corridor, the very same yakitori bar that my colleagues and I had visited during our last work trip. 

Located along Ginza Corridor, which runs around and under the Yamanote Line, its main premises is actually located underground, with a steep staircase leading to it. As with most other dining places situated in touristy Ginza, Bistro Fukumimi Corridor is foreigner-friendly, with items listed in both English and Japanese. 

I remember the “welcome dish”, which comprises cream cheese and crackers, to be a hit among my hungry colleagues. As with most yakitori bars, there is a cover charge for dine-ins, which essentially includes welcome appetisers such as this one. 

Smoked Egg Potato Salad (¥750) is a classic comfort food dish that’s a must-order, according to my yakitori-loving colleague. The portions are substantial enough to be shared among a small group, while leaving room for all that mouthwatering yakitori.

It’s impossible to resist the inviting aromas of yakitori being grilled to order. Yakitori ranges from ¥250 – ¥605 a stick, with crowd-pleasers such as chicken thigh and pork belly. Those feeling adventurous can also try other selections such as beef tongue and chicken heart. 

The yakitori is delicious, though some of them are on the salty side and best paired with beer. The price points for the more premium items are pretty steep, but then again, you’re in Ginza after all.

Bistro Fukumimi Corridor is a great spot to unwind over your favourite yakitori and drinks with your friends. I would love to check out its neighbour bars and restaurants along Ginza Corridor if I’m back someday!
