Jidoriya Onza
Rest assured, the meat served here is nothing but the freshest — the poultry farm next door can attest to that.
Restaurant Details
The Japanese love their meat, and chicken is no exception. The locals would happily dedicate their afternoon on an off day to travel to a new raved-about restaurant. This famous chicken restaurant has been the talk of the town and even beyond due to it being right next to a chicken ranch.
Jidoriya Onza's unique operating location is what makes it unusual, but it also ensures that the meat for the dishes is sourced from fresh poultry, bought daily straight from the farm next door. All of their chickens are completely chemical-free, so rest assured the protein and nutrients are all-natural.
The restaurant space is huge, from the traditional kotatsu seats to the terrace lounge seats. There are even counter seats where the guests who opt for omakase course meals take their place. With their high ceilings and traditional Japanese walls as well as tatami mats, guests can take a great amount of time to admire every detail.
Fair enough, the distance from Kyoto is a bit far, but that doesn't stop the customers from booking way in advance to secure their spot. For first-time diners at Jidoriya Onza, it's highly recommended to order the Gidori Torinabe course, which includes a delicious chicken hot pot made from fresh, tender chicken. A la carte is also available though, and their portions are extremely generous. Mixing a few appetizers and mains with a group of friends is a great way to spend an evening.
