Yakinori Japanese kitchen

You're walking through Touchwood on a Friday night and you want something that feels a bit more special than the usual high street suspects. Yakinori does Japanese grill cooking properly—think charred chicken skewers, grilled vegetables, and robata plates that come sizzling to your table. It's casual enough that you don't need to book weeks ahead, but polished enough that it feels like a proper night out rather than just grabbing food. The team clearly know what they're doing with fire and technique, which is half the battle with yakitori.
