Japanese insight

A legendary establishment with over 50 years of history. It is the premier destination for those who want to experience the true flavor of Nagoya Cochin, one of Japan’s most elite breeds of free-range chicken, in a space that feels worlds away from the smoke-filled, rowdy atmosphere of typical yakitori joints.

• A Calm and Sophisticated Atmosphere While many yakitori shops are lively and cramped, Torigin Honten is known for its quiet and refined interior. The restaurant features a stylish, clean design with spacious seating, including elegant counter spots and private rooms. It is the perfect place for a relaxed dinner where you can actually enjoy a conversation while savoring high-end poultry.

• The Nagoya Cochin Excellence The shop uses only purebred Nagoya Cochin, butchered fresh every morning.

  • The Texture: The meat is famously firm and bouncy, with a rich, deep flavor that is incomparable to standard chicken.

  • The Skewers: Each piece is carefully hand-skewered and grilled to perfection. Don’t miss the Tsukune (chicken meatballs) or the Sashimi assortment, which showcases the incredible freshness of the meat.

• Don't Forget the Kamameshi While the yakitori is the star, Torigin is also famous for its Kamameshi (rice slow-cooked in a small iron pot). The rice absorbs the savory juices of chicken and seasonal ingredients, providing a warm, comforting finish to your meal.
