A Hidden Retreat for Charcoal-Grilled Kagoshima Pork
Located approximately a 3-minute walk from Osaka Metro Abeno Station, the izakaya "Yakiton Jinya" is known for skewers slowly grilled over Kishu Binchotan charcoal by an owner with a background in French cuisine. The yakiton uses pork from Kagoshima, with the popular five-skewer assortment featuring "Kashira (pork's temple)," "Tetsu (rectum)," "Hatsu (heart)," "Toro (neck)," and "Gatsu (stomach)." Served without removing the meat from the skewer, the preparation allows the juices to be fully appreciated. The hideaway-like interior gathers a mature crowd in a comfortable setting, offering counter seating, table seating, and private rooms on the second floor, accommodating occasions ranging from solo visits and quick after-work drinks to dates, gatherings, and banquets.
Yakiton Crafted with Expert Techniques and Kagoshima Pork
Yakiton, made with exceptionally fresh pork from Kagoshima, is grilled over Kishu Binchotan charcoal with precise technique, resulting in a dish with excess fat rendered away. A variety of cuts can be sampled, including "Kashira (pork's temple)," "Nodo Fue (cartilage)," and "Gatsu Shin (thick-cut pork stomach)," as well as creative skewers such as "Tsukune (dumplings)" and "Stuffed Shiitake Mushrooms."
A Refined Hideaway Space Filled with Classic Charm
The old-house-style interior evokes the atmosphere of "Jiufen" in Taiwan, creating a stylish, comfortable space with a sense of charm. Counter seating and table seating are available, along with private rooms on the second floor that offer a calm setting and accommodate occasions ranging from solo visits to dates, dinners, and larger gatherings.
