Blessed with Chicken as the store name says.

This place knows how to cook chicken. I love this place because I can feel that they love chicken and they treat chicken well. I like to start with their chicken liver pate with the bread with a nice draft beer. Then I go with variety of skewers. Chicken breast with wasabi, thigh, liver, tsukune, quail eggs, ginkos. And some more, switching my drink to cold sake. They have great variety of sake and sake goes so well with yakitori skewer. Maybe some more depending on my appetite and depending on who I am with, and  some more drink may pass by. Then lastly, I finish with Oyakodon (direct translation will be family bowl) the chicken and egg rice bowl, which basically scramble egg, half cooked with nice seasoning and chicken in it over the rice. You just have to dig in and finish and smile. You may drink a cup of tea with it and then you head home or if you are feeling to drink more, do what you like.
