Torikizoku, Japan’s popular izakaya and yakitori chain, is opening in Singapore.
The chain — recognisable by its bright yellow signboard — operates over 600 outlets across Japan, where it built a cult following with a flat-pricing model: every item on the menu, from chicken thigh and breast skewers to rice sets and highballs, goes for 390 yen (roughly SGD 3.50).
The Singapore franchise will be run by Gohan Concepts, a joint venture between FairPrice Group and F&B operator BHAG Pte. Ltd.
We first discovered Torikizoku years ago when we travelled to Tokyo and we’ve been a big fan of their yakitori and concept since then. We are so stoked that it will be opening in Singapore!
Local pricing and an official opening date have yet to be confirmed. We definitely hope that the prices will be similar to what they are charging in Japan.
