I visited for lunch on Sunday. It was my first time at the Daigo branch, although I have visited the main branch many times. Unlike the spacious and casual atmosphere of the main branch, the Daigo branch is a small restaurant. There were many families during lunch time on Sunday. The lunch menu was different, and I was a bit disappointed that the Daigo branch only offered lunch menus. I ordered the Ultimate Oyakodon for 850 yen, Oyster Fry, and Tareguchi (sauce) for 500 yen. The Oyakodon was okay. The Oyster Fry had a delicious oyster flavor and was cooked perfectly without being greasy. The sauce was delicious without any complaints. I was hoping for the atmosphere of the main branch, so it was a bit disappointing, but the food and drinks were delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Located in Takahata-cho, Fushimi Daigo, Kyoto, this izakaya specializes in yakitori, using fresh chicken meat for its famous grilled chicken and other chicken dishes. The owner is particular about using only select domestically produced chicken, so you can enjoy even more delicious chicken dishes than usual. The only downside is that the taste is different from the main store. It would have been better not to know, but now that I do, it's a bit inferior... both the water and alcohol. However, the yakitori is delicious, so let's enjoy it as a different experience. Takeout is also available!

I had grilled eel. The portion was huge! I got a little tired of it towards the end...

A good izakaya with decent yakitori. The small dishes were delicious.

I want to eat grilled eel at a stamina charge, but I need to consult my wallet... Let's settle for chicken instead. Haha, this dish here seems to be a specialty! [Parent and child chicken grilled bowl 950 yen] Comes with a side dish and miso soup♪ There was also a version that wasn't parent and child, just for reference. Oh yes, choose your favorite side dish from the ones lined up. This time it's something with a curry flavor, unexpectedly delicious♪ It's served in a style where the lid of the bento box doesn't close completely! Oh! I see, the "grilled chicken" has a unique deliciousness! The seasoning is rich and the egg and chicken match well! It has a manly meal feel, just dig in without hesitation! Truly a restaurant specializing in "chicken," these parent and child dishes are great too! After the meal, enjoy a self-serve free coffee♪ They also have daily specials and a variety of noodle dishes. It's great for lunch outings! There is a garage for 3 cars across from the shop. Feel free to come by car too!

The restaurant was very small and crowded during the cherry blossom viewing season lunchtime, so I ended up sharing a table with someone. It's a famous restaurant called Torisei, but it has a small diner-like atmosphere. I wondered if they would be okay with serving elaborate course meals at night because of how small it was. Each table had a pot and pickles placed on it, with a sign saying "help yourself", but I wasn't sure what that meant so I didn't touch them. The coffee during lunchtime was self-serve, so I made sure to enjoy that. I ordered the Chicken Steak set with salt and lemon flavor, but it was a bit greasy. The chicken itself was tender and delicious, but I wish I had ordered the special parent and child rice bowl instead. However, I think this place offers the best value for money in this area.

2014.9 After a long time, I wanted to meet up with a friend who used to be a colleague at my previous company (also a drinking buddy) so we decided to go to this restaurant which is conveniently close to both of our houses. From the outside, the place looked the same as before, so we went in without thinking much. However, once inside, we noticed that the interior, menu, and staff had all been completely renovated. It was surprising to see that the familiar older staff members were no longer there. Some of our favorite dishes were also no longer on the menu, which made us feel a bit lonely. Well, times change, right? The overall younger vibe of the restaurant meant that the food was served more quickly. I let my friend handle most of the ordering. We had a seasonal vegetable salad with crispy shredded potatoes on top, and a selection of skewers including asparagus bacon, sand liver, green onion, shishito pepper, and tsukune. Everything tasted delicious, although there was a subtle difference in quality depending on the dish. Despite feeling a bit nostalgic, I enjoyed the meal. Lunch is a good deal here. The place is usually busy, with both counter and table seating available, as well as a separate banquet hall. Lunch options are affordable, but if it gets too crowded, both the kitchen and the staff may get a bit overwhelmed, so be prepared for some delays. I haven't been there in a while, so I'm not sure if they still offer the seasonal limited-time dish of Yame-style hot pot with comforting burdock flavor. The grilled dishes, such as yakitori, are prepared by an older gentleman, so if the restaurant is full, expect some delays. They offer a variety of dishes, so it feels more like a casual izakaya than just a chicken skewer place.

A famous chain restaurant specializing in chicken dishes with its main branch in Fushimi, Kyoto. While the branch in Daigo area may not have the same atmosphere as the main branch, the chicken hot pot served was definitely up to the standards of Torisei. Leading up to the hot pot, there were appetizers, premium sake, grilled chicken, all enhancing the anticipation. Before the rice porridge, the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary skewered cutlet. This unexpected gesture left a lasting impression. Thanks to the skewered cutlet, more drinks were ordered, and we thoroughly enjoyed the rice porridge as well. Leaving the restaurant with high satisfaction, it's no wonder that Torisei is gaining more fans. If you're in Fushimi, make sure to visit Torisei! This experience is definitely etched in our minds.

When I went to Daigo-ji Temple in Kyoto, I had lunch there. My friend told me it's better to make a reservation beforehand, so I reluctantly did. I chose the special parent and child kabayaki bento box (¥950) as recommended. It was like trying eel with chicken instead. The chicken was crispy and seemed to be cooked slowly. The egg was simple, cooked in a square frying pan for tamagoyaki without rolling it up. I've never had this kind of bowl before, but inside, I felt like I could make it by grilling chicken with eel sauce. I thought it might not be enough at first, but the rice portion was quite filling. The restaurant seemed more like a diner than a chicken specialty shop, with various menu options. I was surprised to see that there were no other people eating kabayaki around me, everyone seemed to be ordering different things. Also, there were few restaurants in the area, so by the time we left, there was already a line forming. It's definitely better to make a reservation before going.

I visited Torisei, a famous restaurant known for searching for chicken, while looking for various shops. The exterior looks like a traditional inn, with a quaint and charming building that may seem intimidating at first, especially for young people. Inside, it has a cozy atmosphere like a small izakaya. I ordered a variety of yakitori and finished with zosui. In conclusion, the chicken was a bit smelly. I had high expectations since it is a specialty shop, so I was slightly disappointed. The zosui was refreshing, but because the chicken nanban I had before was strong in flavor, it didn't taste like much. If I have the opportunity, I will challenge it again.

This is a franchise store of the famous Fushimi "Torisei" restaurant. They offer a variety of takeout menu items, and on this day, I got the "Oyako Torikabayaki Don" to take home. As the name suggests, it is a bowl with grilled chicken and scrambled eggs on top. I remember they used to have a version without eggs called "Torikabayaki Don" as well, but maybe they don't offer it anymore. I had to transfer the food to a bowl and reheat it at home since some time had passed, but it was still delicious. Personally, I wish there was a bit more sauce included as the eggs and rice didn't have any sauce on them.

I sometimes go to this store, but I often go to Daigo store because it is close to my home. Atmosphere ⇒ Well, it's normal Price ⇒ A bit high, but the chicken skewers are good, so it's worth it I can't tell what's different about the way they cook it, but it feels slightly different from the main store's taste. However, it's delicious. There are other yakitori restaurants nearby, but I usually come here for yakitori. If the restaurant is crowded, I go to other places because it takes a bit too long to get the food after ordering. Not just yakitori, but they also have kushikatsu and other side dishes, so you won't get bored. I would definitely go back.
