SPOTTED: Japan's Ikoka Yakitori Is Coming to the Philippines

(SPOT.ph) People might best associate omakase with sushi, but there too is a sub-category of omakase spots that specifically focused on yakitori. By no means are these your average grilled skewers of course, but ones done with the precision and care, using premium-quality poultry, meat, and veg. Of those places is Osaka’s Ikoka, and they’re making their way closer to this part of the world as the the Vikings Group is opening an Ikoka outpost in BGC.

Ready those hankerings for smoky skewers of chicken as Ikoka coming to the Philippines—specifically at BGC’s Bonifacio South Street area, right beside Baristart Coffee. This Philippine outpost is slated to open on September 2, the Vikings Group's Stella Sy tells SPOT.ph. "This is one of the five MICHELIN Bib Gourmand brands [Vikings is bringing in] that will all open this year."
