Recommended Menu
First time here? Start with these!
Kyo-aka-jidori Chicken Sashimi
This is one of Kyoto’s signature artisanal chickens. Raised free-range for 85 days, these chickens roam freely and are fed a completely pesticide-free, organic diet. This healthy upbringing results in meat with a fine, firm texture and a satisfying bite. It also has a perfect balance of fat, making it exceptionally delicious.
Seared Jidori Chicken Thigh “Tataki”
The surface of the chicken thigh is seared over a charcoal fire to lock in the savory umami flavor. Enjoy the delicious combination of the aromatic, crispy skin and the juicy, firm texture of the meat inside.
Our Signature Chicken Karaage
Marinated in plum vinegar, our chicken is exceptionally tender and has a light, refreshing taste, even though it’s deep-fried. This is a karaage unlike any you’ve had before.
