A staple of social life in Japan, Torii checks all the elements of standard Izakaya gastropubs - upscaled to fit the trendy and hip TTDI and Batai neighbourhoods.
Torii is part whiskey bar and features a wide range of quality whiskeys filling up the wall at the back of the restaurant, honouring Mr Shinjiro Torii "Father of Japanese Whiskey".
With more than 40 yakitori to choose from, the Ox Tongue (RM17) is a perennial favourite on every visit. Other modern dishes are also on offer and are made perfectly for sharing such as the Slow-Cooked Tenderloin with Fried Caper Sauce (RM27.9) and delicious runny egg in the Autumn Risotto (RM27.9) dish topped with crab claw, egg yolk and asparagus.
Skip the sweets and wash down your meal with some of Torii's refreshing whiskey cocktails.
