Bebebe

One way to start is with Akaboshi beer and potato salad. A visitor recalled that the salad had a crisp texture and went well with a drink. They followed it with a rolled omelette made with chicken stock. Alongside the skewers, small plates like these offer another way to enjoy a drink.

The yakitori menu includes negima, chicken neck, chicken tenderloin with wasabi and salt-grilled chicken wings. Skewers can be ordered individually, or as a selection of three, five or eight. That leaves room to pick out a few for a solo evening or mix and match different skewers. Grilled vegetables include yam with aosa seaweed and onion topped with truffle salt, adding a non-chicken option to the meal.

For a more substantial finish, consider chicken rice porridge or the Bebe sandwich. The drinks list includes beer, highballs, chūhai and wine, so there are options to pair with skewers and small plates.
