Our Concept
A Hidden Gem for Charcoal-Grilled Yakitori and Sake
Step through the door from lively Thonglor and the noise falls away. In the softly lit dining room, you hear the crackle of charcoal and sense the rhythm of the grill.
Sumibi Hirashima is a place built around a shared fire. Sit at the counter and watch the grill, or gather around the table in the privacy of a private room.
We serve charcoal-grilled yakitori at its best — fresh from the grill, one skewer at a time.
Signature Dish
Sumibi Hirashima Signature: Charcoal-Grilled Japanese Oyadori — Makkuroyaki
Japanese oyadori — mature chicken prized for its firm bite and deep flavour — is grilled boldly over charcoal until richly aromatic. A Sumibi Hirashima signature for those who enjoy the hearty texture of mature chicken and the fragrance of charcoal.
Japanese oyadori has a distinctly firm, springy texture. Recommended for guests who enjoy a chewier bite.
Menu
Recommended
Here is a selection from the grill. The menu changes slightly with the seasons and the ingredients delivered from Japan.
Chef’s Selection of 8 Charcoal-Grilled Yakitori Skewers
฿580
Eight skewers picked by the grill chef, each grilled carefully over charcoal. Every one of the chicken parts has its own aroma and flavour — best enjoyed fresh off the fire.
Negima (Chicken & Leek Skewer)
฿85per skewer
A yakitori classic: the sweetness of fragrant grilled leek brings out the savoury flavour of the chicken. Available with salt or tare sauce.
Tsukune with Egg Yolk (House-Made Chicken Meatball Skewer)
฿120per skewer
Our house-made tsukune is grilled until plump and fragrant, then served with a rich egg yolk. A popular skewer that brings together the savoury flavour of chicken and the richness of yolk.
Chicken Liver
฿75per skewer
Gently cooked rare at the centre for a soft, melting texture. Served with our lightly sweet tare, sansho pepper and a glass of junmai sake.
Chicken Sashimi Assortment — 3 Chicken Parts
฿240
Three chicken parts, each with its own flavour and texture. For the best freshness, please enjoy within 30 minutes of serving.
Straw-Seared Bonito (Katsuo no Warayaki)
฿280
The surface is quickly seared in a fragrant straw flame, sealing in the bonito's flavour. Enjoy the full aroma of straw and the moist texture within.
Seasonal Sashimi Selection — 3 Kinds
฿480
Three colourful selections of seasonal seafood, chosen with freshness in mind and served on one plate.
Seasonal Japanese Vegetables, Charcoal-Grilled
—
Seasonal vegetables delivered from Japan are grilled over charcoal to bring out their fragrance. Enjoy the changing sweetness and juiciness of ingredients such as shiitake mushrooms, shishito peppers and Senryo eggplant.
- Recommended Finish
Extra-Rich Chicken Paitan Ramen
฿290
Our rich, hearty house-made broth is slowly simmered with chicken bones and vegetables for eight hours. A satisfying final bowl after yakitori.

Charcoal Grilling
Why We Grill Over Charcoal
Charcoal is not just for show — it is our cooking method. Every part of our grilling is built around the fire.
Intense radiant heat
The surface sets in seconds while the juices stay inside. The aroma of binchotan is part of the seasoning itself, creating a finish that gas heat cannot reproduce.
Reading the fire
We adjust the charcoal arrangement and heat with care, grilling each part at its ideal temperature. By using both high and gentle heat, we draw out a fragrant exterior and juicy interior.
Fresh from the grill, one skewer at a time
We grill each order over charcoal and serve it at its best moment. Enjoy the aroma and texture that only freshly grilled yakitori can offer.
Sake & Shochu
Rare Sake and Shochu Chosen to Complement the Food
We select sake and shochu that pair well with yakitori, seasonal fish, vegetables delivered from Japan and à la carte dishes. Our list includes seasonal releases and rare labels that are not often found elsewhere.
- Junmai
- Ginjo & Daiginjo
- Rare & limited releases
Full rice flavour and satisfying depth. A natural match for yakitori, charcoal-grilled dishes and other dishes with fuller flavours.
Fragrant, clean and refined on the palate. Especially good with sashimi, seasonal Japanese vegetables and dishes that let the ingredients speak for themselves.
A special pour you may only encounter here. Limited-quantity and seasonal labels are also available.
Enjoy a special glass alongside the food — one you may only find here.

The sake selection was excellent, and I enjoyed trying different bottles with the yakitori and other dishes. They even had labels I rarely see in Japan — an especially good place for sake lovers.

I used the restaurant for a business dinner with a client. The private room had a great atmosphere, and we were very happy with both the food and service. Our guests enjoyed it too, so I would use it again for the next dinner meeting.
