The fried chicken was crispy and juicy.

Torisei is a restaurant that originated in Shizumi-cho, Tokachi. It has numerous branches throughout Hokkaido, with almost every town in the Tokachi region having a store. They offer charcoal-grilled dishes and fried chicken. The charcoal-grilled dishes have a delicious smoky flavor and are best enjoyed while still hot in the restaurant. The fried chicken is tasty when freshly fried, but it also remains delicious when cooled or reheated, making it a must-have for takeout. Torisei is beloved by residents of the towns where it operates, with locals always claiming that their own town's store is the best. The store in Shikaoi is no exception, receiving enthusiastic support from the community and being considered a standout among other branches. The charm of the restaurant also lies in the personality of the owner. The way they season the dishes and coat the fried chicken may vary slightly, but it's the personal touch of each owner that endears them to the locals. In addition to charcoal-grilled dishes and fried chicken, they also offer skewers and "toriwasa" (raw chicken with wasabi and soy sauce). Simple items like edamame and french fries are also popular for their quality and taste. In Tokachi, it's not uncommon for families to enjoy Torisei's meat at home for celebrations or holidays like Christmas. They are a strong competitor to a certain fried chicken chain from abroad.

Visited on May 24, 2021! Charcoal-grilled dish for 864 yen.

I ordered grilled peach and it was delicious. I wanted to have beer with it, but I had to resist because I was driving a rental car. If this restaurant was near my house, I would go there often.
