In Kawasaki, outside Tokyo, you will find the original Miyakodori, a third-generation yakitori izakaya that started in the ’50s. When living in Japan, Max, one of us founders, had the privilege of working there and became close friends with the family.

From the outside, the place may not look much to the world, but step inside and grab a seat, and you will be in for a treat; great food crafted with meticulous attention to detail; guests treated as friends; a relaxed and homey atmosphere. To us, it embodies everything we love about izakaya culture.

When we decided to start our place in Stockholm, we asked them to help us come up with a name. Their suggestion was Miyakodori. We are proud to pick up the baton. We won’t try to recreate the original place, but we will do our best to capture its spirit – it’s all about real food and real people.
