Creamy Chicken Liver

Prime Chicken Liver 100 yen
極上レバー Goku-jo Liver
It is high quality brand chicken called 信玄どり Shingen Chicken.
(Shingendori Chicken)

This chicken liver is the bar's special.
Each person can order it up to 2 skewers. However, their menu says that you should order only one skewer at a time.

But the staff told me that you can order 2 skewers in your first order to have a second one before it is sold out.

Even though, you order 2 skewers, It will firstly come as 1 skewer on purpose. When you finish the first one, the second one you order will come later, or you can ask for a second one when you are ready.

You can always enjoy freshly grilled chicken skewer!

You can choose between medium rare or well-done.
If you don't like how you ordered your grilled liver, they also offer it as medium rare with salt and sesame oil instead of barbecue sauce. (as pictured above)
