A long-standing canteen founded in 1938, located on a slope about a 2-minute walk from Yubatake, next to the main branch of Chichiya. The name says it all: the restaurant uses only domestic chicken. Its signature grilled chicken rice bowl features skin-on chicken thigh grilled until golden, with a sweet sauce that is not too heavy, served with soup and pickles. The chicken cutlet bowl features fried chicken cutlet in a sweet sauce, served in a square box. Everything is made to order, so waits can be long, but it is quieter than many shops in the Yubatake area. There is no parking.
Opening hours
Lunch 11:30 am–2:00 pm, dinner 5:30–7:30 pm; closed Tuesdays (some sources list Tuesdays and Wednesdays)
