in osaka, japan (aug’24)

started my long long trip to japan this summer at torisho ishii, one of the spots in osaka i’ve been keen on visiting. famed for using takasaka jidori, one of the most high regarded chicken breeds in japan, it really didn’t disappoint. taisho was so nice & funny, ventilation here was also second to none.

this was my first experience with this breed of chicken and it really stands out dramatically from the rest. the liver and chouchin to date have been one of my top pieces here, can’t wait to try his shiro liver next time. i love his perfect balance of crisp skin and still keeping the interior of the meats mildly raw. another highlight here for me which sets it apart from other places are the creative tsumamis, from the mini chicken burgers to the corn and jidori rice in the middle. the ever-changing shime course also makes each visit exciting and different. this time we had hiyashi chuka and a keema curry which were both very good. ended with an amazing milk pudding with vanilla salt.

a perfect evening and such a good meal to start my long trip. can’t wait to be back in december, definitely added into the list of my regular rotations.
