During the time when I was in Osaka in May 2017, I used to go to Torikizoku quite frequently, but since there are no stores in Tohoku, I haven't been able to go there for a while. I visited Torikizoku with a friend after a long time. It's a local place, so I have been here many times before! It's located underground, so you have to go down the stairs to enter the restaurant. It was a weekday when we visited, so it wasn't crowded, but the counter seats were quite close to each other. Everything is priced at 280 yen, which is very attractive, and you tend to order a variety of items, but it's still easy on the wallet, which is a good thing. Here are some of the dishes we ordered:
- Domestic potato fries: My friend's recommendation, the Torikizoku potato, which you can't miss when you visit. It was really sweet and fluffy, and very delicious.
- Chicken shiso tempura rolls with kishu plum sauce: Served piping hot, the combination of chicken, shiso, and plum sauce is a hit with those who like it. The plum sauce was so good that we used it to dip the potato fries.
- Chicken breast with mentaiko mayonnaise grilled skewers: We shared one skewer each, and the mentaiko mayo was a definite hit. The chicken breast was tender and juicy.
- Chicken rice bowl: It takes about 30 minutes, so it's good to order it in advance. Another classic dish that my friend always orders. The burnt rice was also nicely done and it was consistently delicious.
- Chicken meatball with cheese: Another skewer dish that my friend insisted on ordering.
- Seasoned boiled egg: I had a sudden craving for this, and it was delicious with its well-infused flavors.
- Chicken cartilage fried: Even though we were full, we wanted something to nibble on while we drank and chatted, so we ordered this. We ate it with the plum sauce.
- Koi Amami Kan on the rocks: I only drank this alcohol during my visit, and it was really to my liking! I haven't seen it in other restaurants, but I would love to drink it again. This time, we ordered more side dishes than skewers, so if I come back next time, I would like to focus on the skewers. It was a satisfying visit after a long time, with delicious and affordable food. Thank you for the meal!
