About this place
One diner’s account of a lunchtime chicken nanban set meal describes a deep plate piled with salad and 6, 7 pieces of fried-style chicken thigh. There was plenty of tartare sauce, too, along with a generous serving of rice. It sounds like a hearty choice for anyone after a substantial set meal. The accompanying soup was said to be a chicken broth with a pronounced ginger flavour, carrying the chicken theme through to the end of the meal. Those with a smaller appetite may want to consider the amount of rice.
In the evening, the menu also features yakitori and à la carte dishes. Skewers include older chicken negima, seseri, kokoro, liver and skin, offering a choice of cuts. Add seseri with ponzu or grilled aubergine, and the meal can centre on skewers or become a more relaxed spread of dishes to enjoy with a drink. Fried chicken skin gyoza is another option when you fancy something beyond yakitori. Orders mentioned by visitors include the chicken nanban set meal, raw liver and kokoronokori, a chicken offal skewer. From familiar chicken dishes to skewers that showcase different cuts, there is plenty to choose according to taste.
For a meal around the hot pot, options include young-chicken mizutaki, duck mizutaki, or a course featuring both. The listed courses include an appetiser, seared local chicken, fried dishes, hot pot and udon to finish, and each comes with an all-you-can-drink option for 2 hours. The young-chicken course has 5 dishes, while the duck and combined duck-and-young-chicken courses each have 6. They are worth considering for a meal with a group.
