Autumn has arrived at Tori Chataro, and I still love it.It's the season when ducks bring along matsutake mushrooms.____________________Located in Shibuya, Utagawacho, Tori Chataro is a beloved restaurant that not only showcases the unique qualities of various chicken breeds and cuts in their yakitori but also delights diners with seasonal dishes throughout the entire course.On this day, the focus was on the Hōrōrō chicken and Hinai chicken, along with Kasumi duck and a 7-month-raised Nagoya Cochin hen.Additionally, there were plenty of autumn ingredients like matsutake mushrooms, fresh ginkgo, shungiku (chrysanthemum leaves), white figs, Ōmasari beans, and daylilies.✨Here’s the autumn lineup from Tori Chataro:**Today's Menu**▶︎ Chicken wing rice with matsutake Tossed with fragrant green pepper oil▶︎ Two types of tataki topped with perilla soy sauce Front: Hinai chicken / Back: Hōrōrō chicken▷ Hōrōrō chicken Soriresu▷ Hōrōrō chicken gizzards▷ Hinai chicken Misaki with sauce▷ Hōrōrō chicken breast▶︎ Duck thigh with shungiku White figs and Ōmasari in white miso▷ Hōrōrō chicken liver▷ Elf France smoked▷ Outside skirt with white onion sauce▷ Fresh ginkgo▶︎ Kasumi duck roast & Aomori matsutake▷ Hōrōrō chicken tender▷ 7-month-raised Nagoya Cochin hen Served with pickled shallot miso and Okinawa daylily▷ Hinai chicken smoked wings▷ Stuffed shiitake mushrooms with truffle cheese sauce▶︎ Final dish: Chicken and clam soba——【Extras】——▷ Skin with sauce▷ Smoked cheese spitchco______________【PICK UP】■ Chicken wing rice with matsutakeOne of Tori Chataro's signatures, the chicken wing rice.Stuffed with Hōrōrō chicken wings and sansho rice, this standard dish is elevated in summer with edamame☀️, and on this day, it was made autumnal with matsutake.Crispy skin.Chewy rice.Crunchy matsutake.The savory flavor of Hōrōrō chicken combined with the rich aroma of matsutake instantly transports you to autumn.■ Hōrōrō chicken SoriresuThis rare cut often appears later in the course, but Tori Chataro brings it out first.The skin, covering all the way to the tail, is perfectly grilled and crispy.Then you get to the chewy texture of Soriresu.With each bite, the rich flavor of the meat floods your mouth.This first skewer raised my expectations for the evening.■ Hinai chicken Misaki with sauceThe well-grilled skin is crispy, bursting with texture from the tail.The bonjiri (tail) is best enjoyed well-cooked.And above all, it’s a joy to savor this with my favorite Tori Chataro sauce.■ Duck thigh with shungiku, white figs, and Ōmasari in white misoThis was incredible.Tender shungiku paired with large Ōmasari beans, along with duck thigh and my favorite white figs.The aroma of shungiku, the richness of peanuts, and the sweetness of figs.Duck and white figs are a perfect match!♪■ Hōrōrō chicken liverI absolutely love the Hōrōrō chicken grilled by Tori Chataro.Among them, the liver is simply amazing.It looks so beautiful next to the grill, you might mistake it for foie gras!ꉂThe beautiful beige-pink liver is slowly cooked to create a perfect texture and rich sweetness.Dipping it in Tori Chataro sauce makes it a heavenly skewer.■ Kasumi duck roast & Aomori matsutakeIn autumn, Tori Chataro serves duck with matsutake mushrooms.Perfectly cooked Kasumi duck is paired with fragrant Aomori matsutake.A squeeze of kabosu adds a refreshing acidity to the duck fat, enhancing the aroma of the matsutake—this is simply irresistible!✨■ 7-month-raised Nagoya Cochin henThe 7-month-raised Nagoya Cochin hen is served with pickled shallot miso and Okinawa daylily.With each bite, the rich flavor of the Cochin hen spreads, complemented by the sweet and spicy shallot miso.The gentle sweetness of the daylily adds to the experience, filling your mouth with flavor and sweetness.______________Focusing on Hōrōrō chicken, along with Hinai chicken, Nagoya Cochin, and Kasumi duck, Tori Chataro seamlessly incorporates seasonal delicacies.Starting with the chicken wing rice stuffed with matsutake, the duck arrives with matsutake as well.I came to enjoy yakitori, but before I knew it, I was savoring the entire course of autumn.I truly love Tori Chataro in the fall as well.____________________SHOP INFORMATIONTori Chataro7-12 Utagawacho, Shibuya, Tokyo, 1F TAK BuildingAbout a 10-minute walk from Shibuya Station17:30– / 20:40–Closed on Mondays and TuesdaysBudget: JPY 20,000–29,999Instagram: @tori_chataro____________________
