Savor Omi Chicken with All Five Senses: A Chef's Exquisite Course Menu

When you think, I'd like to eat some delicious chicken tonight, what kind of dish first comes to mind? Is it the fragrant smoke of yakitori, the rich broth of mizutaki, or perhaps a melt-in-your-mouth oyako-don?

We proudly present a selection of exquisite course meals that fully bring out the charm of Omi Chicken. Raised in abundant natural surroundings, Omi Chicken is characterized by its fine texture, deep umami, and pleasing elasticity. We dedicate ourselves daily to refining our techniques to maximize the natural qualities of this superb ingredient.

However, we often hear comments like, If I'm going to eat, I want the absolute best, but there are so many options I don't know what to choose... To address exactly that sentiment, we will now thoroughly introduce the recommended courses, conceived by our esteemed chef, which allow you to enjoy Omi Chicken to your heart's content. We hope this guide will contribute to your wonderful dining experience.

The Ultimate Binchotan Yakitori Course: Savoring the Essence of Omi Chicken

First, we would like to introduce a course centered around Binchotan Yakitori, which allows you to directly experience the delicate umami and robust flavor of Omi Chicken. Slowly grilled over the far-infrared heat of Binchotan charcoal, the yakitori is crispy and fragrant on the outside, and astonishingly juicy on the inside. With every bite, the deep richness and aroma inherent to Omi Chicken fill your mouth.

• Momomi (Thigh Meat): A Masterpiece of Skill

  Momomi, or thigh meat, is a yakitori classic that holds a profound appeal. Our Momomi is meticulously skewered piece by piece and grilled to exquisite perfection, maximizing the fine texture and ideal fat balance unique to Omi Chicken. By rapidly grilling it over the high heat of Binchotan charcoal, the skin becomes crispy and fragrant, while the meat remains plump and tender. The juices that burst forth with every bite offer a truly blissful flavor.

• Savor the Unique Flavors of Each Cut

  In this course, in addition to Momomi, we offer a mix of rare cuts and popular classics. For example, you can enjoy various textures and flavors from different parts, such as the delightfully chewy Seseri (neck meat), the melt-in-your-mouth Bonjiri (tail meat), and the rich, savory Tsukune (chicken meatballs). Our commitment lies in perfectly cooking each cut to bring out its maximum inherent flavor.

• The Secret to Our Fragrance: Binchotan Charcoal

  Grilling with Binchotan charcoal is more than just cooking the meat. The unique aroma rising from the charcoal further enhances the chicken's umami, creating an appetizing fragrance. The smoky scent and the far-infrared effects of the charcoal elevate the deep flavor of Omi Chicken to an even more profound level. Please thoroughly enjoy this aromatic experience that stimulates all your senses.

Heartwarming Luxury: The Hakata Mizutaki and Seasonal Delights Course

Next, we recommend our course centered around Hakata Mizutaki, perfect for cold seasons and times when you seek nourishment. Our cloudy white soup, carefully simmered over a long time, is truly a golden drop, a concentration of Omi Chicken's umami. A single sip will gently warm your heart with its deep and subtle flavor.

• Soup Infused with the Rich Umami of Omi Chicken

  The lifeblood of our Mizutaki is undeniably its soup. We slowly simmer fresh Omi Chicken bones and meat for an extended period, extracting every last drop of umami. Made without any artificial seasonings, relying solely on the natural deliciousness of Omi Chicken, the soup is profoundly rich yet surprisingly clean on the palate. Please enjoy its pure flavor first, without adding anything.

• Blissful Enjoyment with Seasonal Vegetables

  Essential to Mizutaki are seasonal vegetables that soak up the deliciousness of Omi Chicken. Carefully selected fresh vegetables for each season offer crisp textures and fresh sweetness that perfectly harmonize with the chicken's umami. For our Hakata Mizutaki, we will carefully guide you through the order of adding ingredients and how to eat them, ensuring you become a hot pot master who truly savors the experience.

• No Detail Overlooked, Even for the Finale: Our Signature Way to Finish

  The true delight of Mizutaki lies in the finale, where you enjoy the soup infused with the umami of chicken and vegetables. We offer various choices such as zosui (rice porridge), ojiya (savory rice gruel), or ramen, all designed to maximize the soup's deliciousness. We promise a blissful moment, savoring the bounty of Omi Chicken down to the last drop.

Surprising Texture and Depth: The Chiran Chicken Tataki and À La Carte Delights Course

For guests who wish to fully experience the charm of chicken beyond yakitori and mizutaki, we recommend our à la carte course centered around Chiran Chicken Tataki. The robust umami and firm texture of Chiran Chicken, which offers a different appeal from Omi Chicken, along with our innovative individual dishes, will further enrich your dining experience.

• Chiran Chicken Tataki: Concentrated Flavor with a Delightful Bite

  Chiran Chicken is characterized by its firm texture and deep umami. Our Chiran Chicken Tataki is lightly seared on the outside for fragrance, while kept rare on the inside to maximize the robust texture and concentrated flavor unique to Chiran Chicken. Paired with our special condiments, you are sure to be amazed by its profound taste.

• Enjoy a Variety of Chicken Dishes All at Once

  In this course, in addition to Chiran Chicken Tataki, we offer a wide array of creative à la carte dishes featuring Omi Chicken. For instance, our Low-Temperature Cooked Liver, made with fresh Omi Chicken liver, boasts a melting texture and rich umami. Our Chicken Karaage, with its perfectly crispy coating and juicy chicken, is also highly popular with guests of all ages, from children to adults.

• Recommended Pairings with Sake and Wine

  The robust flavor of Chiran Chicken Tataki and our diverse à la carte dishes pair exceptionally well with a variety of drinks. Particularly, our carefully selected sake and wine pairings further enhance the flavors of each dish, creating an even richer dining experience. Please feel free to consult our staff with your preferences. We will thoughtfully suggest a drink to complement your special evening.
