The Appeal of Oyama Chicken: Redefining the Concept of Yakitori
Our signature dish, the “Daisen Chicken Skewer Assortment,” is a classic favorite that continues to be loved by many of our customers. But don’t underestimate it as just ordinary yakitori. By taking the time to compare the unique, springy texture of Oyama chicken and the varying levels of marbling across different cuts, you’ll rediscover the deep, natural umami of chicken. In particular, the way we serve the “Daisen Chicken Tsukune Skewers with Cartilage”—coated in “Tsukune Egg Yolk”—creates an exquisite harmony between the rich, deep flavor and the texture of the cartilage, offering an experience that will completely redefine your perception of yakitori. In the private setting of a separate room, as you focus on the perfect doneness and savory aroma of each skewer, you’ll be able to deeply appreciate the essence of yakitori—a dish crafted with the chef’s meticulous attention to detail.
Rediscovering the Potential of Ingredients Through Deep-Frying
Even our fried dishes hold some surprising discoveries. For example, the “Chicken Nanban with Generous Egg Tartar Sauce” isn’t just a hearty dish—it’s a carefully crafted creation where the homemade tartar sauce perfectly complements the juiciness of the chicken. Additionally, the “Cheese Tempura” offers a delightful contrast between the crispy batter and the melt-in-your-mouth cheese inside, providing a fresh treat to enjoy between drinks. Furthermore, the “Okonomiyaki Croquette” is a unique dish that reimagines the familiar flavor of okonomiyaki in the form of a croquette, delivering a new surprise with every bite. Precisely because these are classic fried dishes, we’ve put great thought into ingredient combinations and cooking techniques to offer fresh, ever-interesting ways to enjoy food.
The Surprising Satisfaction Hidden in the Final Course
Even the dish we recommend to wrap up your meal is packed with the unique surprises you’d expect from our restaurant. Our “Yakitori Tsukune TKG” is a luxurious finale—a combination of tsukune, which concentrates the rich umami of yakitori, and rice topped with raw egg—that you can truly only experience here. Additionally, our “Chilled Chili Oil Udon” features the spicy kick of chili oil that whets your appetite and provides a pleasant, soothing accent for your stomach after a night of drinking. Furthermore, the “Sakura Shrimp and Squid Tempura Donburi—Served with Dashi Broth” features a two-part presentation: enjoy it as is at first, then pour the dashi broth over it at the end to savor it tea-soaked-style, ensuring you’ll enjoy your meal right to the very end without ever getting bored. We invite you to take your time in one of our private rooms and discover the new flavors created by adding a special touch to these classic finishing dishes.
