Savoring Shiga's Pride, Omi Chicken: Authentic Yakitori Grilled Over Binchotan Charcoal

The essence of Torimaru Hikone lies in our authentic yakitori, made luxuriously with Omi chicken, the branded chicken that Shiga Prefecture is proud of. To maximize the fresh flavor of Omi chicken, we are committed to hand-grilling each skewer over Binchotan charcoal. Our skilled chefs grill each piece with care, resulting in a crispy, fragrant exterior and an incredibly juicy interior. One bite will fill your mouth with the deep, natural flavor of the chicken, and the unique aroma of the charcoal will stimulate your appetite.

The Essence of Yakitori, a Feast for the Senses

Even within the category of yakitori, the flavor varies greatly depending on the cut of meat. You can fully enjoy the diverse appeal of Omi chicken, from standard cuts like thigh (momo) and green onion with chicken (negima) to rare cuts. Our commitment is to discern the unique characteristics of each part and serve it at its most perfect, grilled state. We have received high praise from customers for our delicious food, a taste born from respect for the ingredients and the skill of our chefs, backed by years of experience.

In addition to yakitori, we also offer Hakata-style mizutaki as a specialty. This chicken hot pot, simmered in a special broth rich with chicken flavor, is a delicacy that can be enjoyed year-round. The soup, infused with the umami of fresh chicken and vegetables, is sure to warm both body and soul. Especially during the cooler seasons, we recommend gathering in a Hikone banquet private room to enjoy a warm hot pot.
