地鶏炭火焼 古里庵 霧島店
A jidori chicken restaurant near Kirishima-jingu where guests grill the chicken themselves on a seven-grate charcoal stove. The set meals with chicken sashimi, rice balls and soba are good value.
This is the Kirishima branch of a charcoal-grilled jidori chicken specialist whose main shop is in Takarabe, Soo City. It sits about 5 minutes by car from Kirishima-jingu and about 400 meters past the Hoshino Resorts KAI Kirishima. The signature is grilling jidori chicken thigh meat yourself on a seven-grate charcoal stove at the table. Sets include chicken sashimi, side dishes, rice balls and soba. Older listings show three price tiers of 2,000–3,000 yen, but current prices should be confirmed in the shop. The rice and vegetables are grown on the restaurant's own farm, and jidori and black pork miso pickles are also available. Lunch runs 11:30–15:30. Dinner seats only one reserved party. Closing days differ between platforms (Monday and Tuesday, or only Friday to Sunday and holidays), so call ahead and make a reservation before visiting. 7 parking spaces.
