Nestled in the heart of Asahikawa’s Sanroku area, Yakitori Soppu is a popular local izakaya loved for its relaxed, unpretentious vibe and cozy, counter-centric seating.

The menu features classic charcoal-grilled skewers like chicken thighs, green onions, and liver—each slowly cooked to bring out its natural flavors. The real standout, however, is the Satsuma chicken sashimi and tataki. Known for its incredible freshness, this rare specialty is what keeps so many regulars coming back.

Complemented by an extensive selection of local sake and shochu carefully chosen to pair with the food, Yakitori Soppu has even been featured in the local guide "Kanpai Asahikawa", making it a favorite spot among true enthusiasts.

The restaurant often fills up with reservations, so booking in advance is essential.
