Muragon’s Three Commitments
We Use “Kyo-aka-jidori,” Kyoto’s Premier Artisanal Chicken
Kyo-aka-jidori is a premium brand of local chicken, raised slowly over an extended period to develop a fine texture and a deeply concentrated umami flavor.
The moment you taste it, you’ll notice its signature “kyu-tto” — a satisfyingly firm yet tender bite. As you chew, a powerful, savory flavor and succulent juices burst forth, filling your mouth with the uniquely deep taste that only Kyo-aka-jidori can offer.
We serve it in two signature ways: charcoal-grilled by our expert chefs to seal in the flavor, and as exceptionally fresh sashimi that highlights the natural sweetness of the meat.
We invite you to experience the deliciousness of this local chicken, a true blessing of Kyoto’s culinary heritage.
Yakitori and Vegetables Grilled Over a Charcoal Fire
The reason we are so passionate about charcoal is its intense heat and its “far-infrared rays.”
This combination instantly sears the surface of the ingredients, completely locking in the moisture and juices that create umami. The result is an exterior that is perfectly crisp and aromatic, while the inside remains incredibly juicy. This exquisite balance can only be achieved with a charcoal fire, masterfully controlled by our skilled chefs.
The powerful charcoal flame transforms the natural fat of the chicken into a sublime, savory flavor and draws out the maximum natural sweetness hidden within our vegetables.
The charcoal, the ingredients, and the master griller. We invite you to savor the simple yet profound flavors born from this perfect trinity.
