Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi, Japan｜Torikko

Credit card 👍 They have English menu. 1 server's English is really good, so that's helpful. The store's cat is super cute. We came right when they're open, and luckily they were able to accommodate us, they're fully booked (appointment). Though I think the appointments start at 6, so, if you come at 5, they'd probably let you in without reservations. You love chicken 🐔? This is the place to be. Most chicken parts are ready to be grilled by your own hands. We got the standard cuts though since we weren't feeling adventurous. The standard thighs are definitely the one to get. I suggest getting both miso and salty ones so you could compare yourself. The mature chicken is really tough, I didn't quite like it, but you should try it yourself and decide on your own. The Donburi is really tasty, same with chazuke (rice with soup). Salads were great. Dressing came on the side by default! Amazing. Normally restaurants in Japan tend to say "but it's not good without dressing, so, we'll mix it with the dressing", but I normally eat it raw! So, this was great. Parking is the hardest. It's tricky, hard to explain. Just see the pics that I have attached (note the date of this review whether it's recent enough for you). Otherwise, just send someone to the store first to double check.

If there was one word to describe paradise, that would be Torikko. The food here is amazing and their homemade miso sauce absolutely brings out the flavour of their grilled chicken! Do order their chicken skin and chicken breast because it’s so tender and juicy. This place was a random find and there was absolutely no regrets coming here to fill our bellies. 10/10 would come back again.

Found this restaurant randomly but the overall experience was delightful. Highly recommended! The meat was juicy and delicious. You can choose any parts of the chicken and they have made some small papers for recognising which part you were eating. Also, they provide the tablet for ordering. Language is not the barrier between us. p.s. their cat is so cute.
