Frommer's Review
In the heart of Nagoya, this 37-year-old casual restaurant with counter, tatami, or table seating is known for its Nagoya cochin (free-range chicken). It serves yakitori, with a set menu of eight different skewers costing ¥1,900 ($16/£8), as well as miso-nabe (rice cake, tofu, chicken, and vegetable stew) and kamameshi set meals (rice casseroles). Set meals all include raw cochin with real gold flakes, but you are allowed to substitute for a cooked dish. An amiable staff makes it diner-friendly; a black-and-white kura-style facade makes it easy to identify. If this main shop (Honten) is full, you may be led to one of three nearby branches, one of which offers tatami rooms with a view of the garden.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
