Yakitori Bunraku
Yakitori Bunraku is a lively izakaya specializing in grilled skewers with an emphasis on chicken and other meats, alongside a handful of vegan choices like grilled shiitake mushrooms, leek, and simmered tofu. The venue is known for its casual outdoor seating beneath train tracks in Ueno, offering an authentic and sometimes crowded atmosphere that attracts both locals and tourists. Prices are moderately affordable, and an English menu helps non-Japanese speakers navigate the options, though the vegan choices remain limited.
