I visited "Jidoriya Onza," a recipient of the Tabelog Award 2026 Bronze.Today, I enjoyed the following courses:- "Omi Jidori Premium" JPY 8,000 (tax included)- "Japanese Sake Pairing" JPY 450 per glass (tax included)I added the popular counter course, limited to 6 guests per day, along with the sake pairing.There were so many dishes that I’ll focus on a few highlights:◇ Assorted Appetizers (Chicken breast from a female bird in Bang Bang style, gizzard from a male bird, and simmered heart from a female bird)◇ New Onion and White Soup Potage → The rich new onion paired with perfectly seasoned chicken ham was outstanding.◇ Sashimi (5 varieties) White Meat - Right: Female chicken breast - Left: Female chicken tender - Center: Male testicles (soft roe) Red Meat - Right: Male gizzard - Left: Female spleen The order was from red to white meat, and I was instructed to eat the testicles and spleen with just salt. Each piece was rich and flavorful, with the soft roe melting in my mouth. I was already satisfied at this point with the incredible sashimi.◇ Five-Item Platter - Left: Miso-marinated liver from a female bird - Left: Liver pâté made from spleen - Center: Tokyo mushrooms tossed with salt, pepper, and olive oil - Right: Smoked thigh meat from a female bird (high temperature, short time) - Right: Smoked breast meat from a male bird (low temperature, long time)◇ Sashimi (3 varieties) Liver and gizzard (red) served with salt, pepper, and olive oil. The quality of the ingredients was so high that the seasoning actually enhanced the flavors! The crunchy texture of the gizzard was fantastic, and the melting liver was incredibly delicious.◇ Hearts from male and female birds Enjoyed with sesame oil. How fresh it was...◇ Thigh meat from a female bird, served with kumquat The thigh meat was made into a tartare and paired with kumquat. It was rich and deep in flavor, truly a masterpiece worthy of being called art. I was overwhelmed with emotion...◇ Grilled thigh meat from a female bird over straw◇ Male comb resembling sea cucumber (with ponzu)◇ Female chicken wings ◇ Female kara-age ◇ Dashi-maki (using Nagoya Cochin fertile eggs and white soup)◇ Grilled bonjiri from a female bird◇ Jidori Hamburg Steak ◇ Grilled chicken One side was rare, and the combination of charcoal and salt was perfect, showcasing the deliciousness of Jidoriya Onza's chicken.◇ Skewers (including neck, lymph, and trachea all on one skewer)◇ Skewers (outside skirt)◇ Pea rice with chicken white soup◇ Omi Jidori white soup ramen (with Kadoya Shokudo noodles)This course was incredibly filling. With one beer and four glasses of sake, the total was JPY 10,400. This level of cost performance is unbelievable in these times...The freshness and taste of the dishes were truly impressive. I was particularly blown away by the deliciousness of the sashimi.It’s no wonder they can achieve this, as they own their own poultry farm.I was so moved that my standards for food have now risen.What a delightful dilemma!Thank you very much.
