Chicken thigh tataki (110g) for 418 yen was found at Okonomiyaki Minami when I visited the store. A queen has already visited according to the reviews. The area is in Wakamatsu! Thank you NC-san!! The tataki was in good condition. I am used to eating authentic chicken tataki, so I thought it might be a little soft, but it was quite delicious. The sauce was not included, but it was served with ponzu sauce, ginger, and garlic.

Wakamatsu-ku, Kitakyushu City, Kamoida. A take-out only fried chicken shop located next to Sunny Niijima store. Affiliated stores include Tori Daio Orio store and Torioji. Torioji is an izakaya that also serves lunch. Tori Daio is known for its chicken sashimi, with three types: thigh, tenderloin, and breast. For fried chicken, they offer thigh, breast, and "Hero" varieties. Bento options include fried chicken bento, tender pork cutlet bento, jar-pickled chicken bento, chicken nanban bento, black curry, spicy curry, and more. This time, I purchased the thigh chicken sashimi (100g for 430 yen). The thigh chicken sashimi had a crispy and firm texture, with a strong charcoal aroma. It was quite delicious, with a nice chewiness and tasty sauce. The breast variety seems to be the most popular. Recently, a horse sashimi vending machine was installed in front of the store, called "Uma Daio." Thank you for the meal.

At the end of May to June 2021, a takeout-only store opened on the premises of the Sunny Nijima store. Clicking on the URL in the Twitter bio will lead you to the official website of Izakaya 4273 located across the street, so it seems to be operated by the same management. Reviews are mixed, with more negative comments than positive ones. Some complaints mentioned the lack of ice packs (although the tataki itself was delicious), but this issue seems to have been addressed with ice packs now available for a fee of 10 yen each. The menu includes fried chicken (thigh and breast), tataki (thigh and breast), and Hero's fried chicken. Even those who didn't find the regular fried chicken tasty seemed to enjoy the Hero's fried chicken, with no negative comments found in other reviews. Located near JR Nijima Station, right on the premises of the Sunny Nijima store, parking is not a problem. However, it is located on the side rather than the front facing the street, so it may be a bit difficult to find at first. The Hero's fried chicken (100g for 330 yen) was purchased and reheated in the oven at 180 degrees for 5 minutes as a late-night snack. The sauce on the surface gave a juicy impression, and the level of spiciness was mild, suitable for most people except very young children. The sweetness stood out more than the spiciness. The chicken wings were easy to eat, and children would likely enjoy them. However, the quality of the meat was not particularly impressive, with a noticeable amount of gristle. The seasoning was strong, which may help mask any undesirable flavors. The balance between meat and skin was consistent, making it enjoyable to eat. Although the use of high-quality meat was not advertised, the seasoning was well-liked, making it worth trying at other shops that focus on meat quality. The Hero's fried chicken is a product name that I have seen in other stores, so if the sweet and salty, sticky seasoning is consistent across all Hero's products, I would be interested in trying it at other shops.
