The Finest Chicken and Egg Oyakodon from a Renowned Chicken Restaurant
Located approximately a three-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Yushima Station and close to Yushima Tenmangu Shrine, known as the god of academics, this long-established chicken restaurant has been in business for over 100 years since opening in 1912. The chicken meat for the restaurant's signature dish, "Jyo Oyakodon," is sourced from the best quality each time, and both chewy thigh meat and tender breast meat are used. The eggs are "Japan's Best Selected Eggs" from Kakogawa City, Hyogo Prefecture, and the rice is cooked on the hard side, and the rich flavor of the chicken, with more sauce than in a typical oyakodon, brings out the umami of the eggs and the richness of the chicken.
Enjoy the Legendary "Tori Nabe" from a Long-Established Chicken Restaurant, Best in Winter
The chicken broth for "Tori Nabe" (chicken hotpot) is made with only chicken, without any unnecessary ingredients. A couple of types of high-quality chicken are carefully selected depending on the season, and the chicken meatballs are made by grinding thigh meat twice, then pounding it on a cutting board before adding eggs, a careful preparation. Enjoy this special taste from a long-established restaurant with ponzu sauce.
Oyakodon, Lightly Soaked in Broth, a Tradition for Over 100 Years
The "Jyo Oyakodon" that can only be found here is made by cooking the rice on the firmer side and using more sauce than in a typical oyakodon, maintaining a richer flavor. The distinctive feature of this oyakodon is the result of a creative approach to delivery, which inevitably takes time to eat. It is the traditional flavor of "Toritsune" invented by the first generation.
