Visited in December 2022. Purchased chicken meat at 3.14 sasami (no tendons) for 248 yen per 200g, special minced meat with egg at 216 yen per 300g, bone-in thigh meat for 226 yen per 300g, skin for 118 yen per 200g, top motsu slices for 162 yen per 200g, totaling 2,391 yen for 5 items. After eating soba at Kouyokawa in Nihonbashi, I strolled to Tokyo Station. It was still early and I didn't want to go straight home, so I decided to visit a chicken meat shop that I had seen two years ago. I took the subway from Ginza-itchome to Shintomicho and arrived at the shop at exactly 2:02 PM. Fortunately, there were people inside the shop. I quickly wrote down my friend's order on a piece of paper and entered the shop. The staff were busy but efficient in handling customers. The meat was cut on the spot as requested. The building itself was a magnificent three-story copper building. I admired the architecture even after making my purchase. Back home, I enjoyed a hot pot, chicken wasabi, and grilled chicken. The remaining chicken motsu stew and vinegar motsu were also delicious. The fresh chicken meat was a highlight of the experience. I would love to come back to this shop again, although the limited operating hours on weekdays until 4 PM and weekends until 2 PM may be a challenge.

A renowned chicken restaurant in Tsukiji. Normally, reservations are not accepted, but during the Christmas season, you can reserve their roast chicken. I ordered a few roast chickens as a modest farewell gift for my company. Even though we can't gather closely due to the season, having roast chicken and cake in the seminar room would surely liven up the mood. Before Christmas, my colleagues and I decided to have a drink to lift our spirits. The meat is dense and has a hearty texture, providing a satisfying meal. You can taste the difference compared to regular broiler chicken. Everyone around me also praised the dish, saying how delicious it was. The event was a success, and I shared a smile with the organizer.

I waited for an hour during this busy season. This time, I came for the "duck". I usually go to Kaga-ya in Shinbashi, but this time I went to this place because it's closer to home. The duck is sold by the piece, not by the gram, and it costs 3600 yen for one piece weighing 600 grams. I also ordered a fried chicken set. They prepare the duck after you order, so it takes some time. I asked for it to be prepared in a paper pot, but it was a bit thick. The taste was good, without any unpleasant smell. But I think Kaga-ya might be better. Sorry, I don't have any photos. The fried chicken set was compared to Costco chicken, and they were completely different. The chicken breast was juicy and delicious. Please note that this is only available on Saturdays.

The ultimate delicious chicken. Chicken thigh meat is 170 yen per 100 grams. It has a pleasant elasticity and a juicy texture, incredibly delicious. Chicken offal mix is ​​135 yen per 100 grams. A combination of gizzard and chicken liver that is also incredibly delicious. When the ingredients are this good, even if you're not skilled at cooking, simply grilling or adding salt is delicious. Many people go to Tsukiji to buy seafood, but it's also a joy to buy meat a few hundred meters away and bring it home. The chicken meat is neatly prepared in the store. Fantastic work, fantastic ingredients. The quality is impressive. Be aware that there may be long lines at certain times. Thank you for the delicious meal!

On weekends, this shop is always crowded with a long line. It's too cold for me to wait in line, but the meat is delicious so I come at the right timing. I wanted to eat chicken wings in a light broth and ozoni, so I went on a weekday right after they opened. As I expected, there was no one waiting. I thought it would be better to have the chicken wings cut with the sharp knife at the shop, so I had them cut into bite-sized pieces. Hmm, it's so tender. I didn't want to waste the chicken wings by just boiling them in the light broth, so I grilled two of them with simple salt and pepper. They were delicious!

This popular restaurant always has long lines, and it has been featured on TV recently. Even though it's crowded, I still prefer buying chicken here over other places. The quality is comparable to the premium chicken sold in department stores, if not better. It's a must-have during the New Year's season. However, the lines during the end of the year are extremely long, so I buy and freeze some in early December to use later. The taste is still great even when frozen. The duck here is perfect for New Year's soba, cooked with green onions and served with grated daikon. The chicken thigh meat and "tataki" (minced chicken mixed with bones and eggs) are essential for ozoni (New Year's soup). They also offer various cuts like chicken breast, wings, small pieces, and chicken bones. The restaurant's closed dates for January 2019 are listed here.

When I first moved to the Kyobashi area, my mother-in-law told me to buy chicken meat at Miyagawa. At that time, there weren't many supermarkets around, so we had to shop at a local supermarket, a high-end supermarket in Tsukuda, or department store food halls. When you enter the glass door, you can smell the meat. Behind the counter, you can see artisans using various knives to cut the meat. They handle various processes such as cutting chicken legs from whole chickens, cutting chicken breasts, finely processing gizzards, and sorting offal. There are many steps, and they divide the work among 5-6 people. The man who had been selling at the counter since I got married, and the gentle president seem to have retired a long time ago, and now a man who had been handling chicken leg processing (probably a prominent position among these artisans) is selling. When you buy meat at Miyagawa, they wrap some of the items in bamboo skin. My mother-in-law said that bamboo skin is better than plastic bags because it has a better scent and lasts longer. It is a chicken meat shop loved by the local community, with long lines forming at dusk or during busy times. There is a popular izakaya called "Bariki" in Shinbashi where you can enjoy unique menus and delicious horse sashimi. I mistakenly ordered "Bariki pickles" thinking it was pickles, but it turned out to be gizzards heated and marinated in sauce with green onions, and it was quite delicious. I tried to recreate it at home, thinking that it could probably be made with ponzu sauce and sesame oil. <Ingredients> Gizzards 500g (amount as desired) Green onions as needed Salt Pasta-like saltiness in boiling water Hot water Mitsukan flavored ponzu sauce as needed Sesame oil as needed 1. Cut the green onions as desired and grill them on a fish grill. But you probably don't need to grill them. 2. Boil water in a pot, add salt, and boil the processed gizzards (if using Miyagawa gizzards, you can use them as is) for about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander when done. 3. Add sesame oil to the ponzu sauce, then add the hot gizzards and green onions and marinate in the refrigerator. It can be eaten the next day, but it was also delicious after marinating for about a week. If you are concerned about the smell of store-bought gizzards, you can wash them in 42-degree water after cutting to remove the odor. *Gizzard processing: After cutting the meat from the silver skin, if it is thick, cut it in half.

The restaurant has few reviews on Tabelog, so I want to show my support! Whenever I visit the Tsukiji area, I always get takeout from here. The prices are a bit high, but considering the peace of mind, it's not a problem at all. Everything I order is delicious, especially the chicken thigh dishes are highly recommended!

[December 2015] This shop is one of the best chicken specialty stores in Tokyo, but they also offer duck meat! I went there to buy duck meat for New Year's. It's a bit expensive, around 500 yen per 100 grams, but duck is a must for New Year's soba noodles. I purchased some and had the meat sliced by the staff, which I found more convenient. [December 2014] After visiting a rice ball shop called Takahashi, I went to Marutoy to buy some chicken meat. The shop was quite crowded because their hot pot set was recently featured on TV. I bought some chicken thigh meat for around 180 yen per 100 grams, and the staff suggested that buying it in bulk would be more cost-effective. I also bought some chicken liver and made wine-stewed liver at home, which was delicious. Even though the 120 yen chicken meat was good, I still preferred the 230 yen one I bought earlier. Next time, I might go for the more expensive option. I also want to try their hot pot set next year. [June 2014] While heading to Uotake, I noticed a line of people in front of an old building. Curious, I went to Uotake for lunch first. After eating, I went back to check out the place with the line, which turned out to be a chicken meat shop. They were busy butchering chickens inside. I remembered hearing about a famous chicken shop in Tsukiji where people line up for chicken during New Year's. I decided to buy some chicken meat from this shop, opting for the deboned option at around 230 yen per 100 grams. The meat was flavorful and not watery, just like the rumors said. I would love to buy from this shop again when I visit Tsukiji. Maybe I'll try making chicken Karaage next time.

Once a month, I visit my family's vacant house in Chiba to coincide with a business trip. My fourth-year university son has successfully secured a job offer, so we decided to celebrate his birthday in July, his birthday in September, and our wedding anniversary in September with a lunch outing. We all love sushi, so we went to Tsukiji Sushi Dai Bekkan. We enjoyed a luxurious sushi course at the counter. It had been a while since I visited Tsukiji. "Let's buy some chicken and have a chicken hot pot at home tomorrow," I suggested. We went to Miyagawa Shokudo Chicken Egg on Heisei Street. It is an old-fashioned chicken meat specialty store that mainly deals with freshly ground chicken in the morning. You can see the craftsmen working on the chicken behind the glass all morning. Despite being a wholesaler, they also do retail sales. Local housewives stop by for shopping, so the small retail counter is always busy. We had them cut the bone-in thigh meat into four pieces. The bones will surely make a good broth. It's also quite nostalgic to see them wrap the meat in bamboo skin, reminiscent of Showa-era retro style. Shopping at such a store always puts me in a good mood, perhaps because I have a sense of Showa nostalgia.

I used to work near this place, so I often passed by. The men skillfully cutting up chicken can be seen from the street, leaving a strong impression. Locals are constantly buying chicken in front of the store. I decided to try the Saturday-only fried chicken set! It includes 500g of thigh and breast meat, along with fried chicken flour, all for 780 yen. It's a great deal! The chicken here is especially delicious. The quality and freshness of the meat are outstanding. Unlike supermarket chicken, I could taste the juicy and tender texture of the thigh meat. The man behind the counter may not be very friendly, but he's a skilled craftsman, so it's understandable! There are many regular customers, and younger people who are not used to face-to-face sales may find it a bit intimidating, but if you let them know what dish you want to make and how many servings you need, they will kindly assist you!

I bought chicken meat at Miyagawa Shokudo at Tsukiji Market and was heading to the Chuo Ward Office when I came across Miyagawa-san, who sells delicious chicken meat! My father has bought chicken meat here many times before, and the chicken meat here is really delicious. I had never been to the shop myself and didn't know the location, so it was a pleasant surprise. It's said to be very crowded at the end of the year, but on a weekday morning, there was only one customer ahead of us, so we decided to buy some chicken meat and go home. We ordered bone-in thigh meat cut into pieces, and they cut it right in front of us. In the end, we bought bone-in thigh meat cut into pieces weighing 1.5 kg, 6 pieces of chicken tenderloin, 300g of gizzard, and 300g of liver. My mother cooked the gizzard and liver, and we had chicken hot pot for dinner that day. It's the same chicken meat, but when you buy it at Miyagawa-san's, it's really delicious. I wonder what makes it different? Miyagawa Shokudo Co., Ltd. Tsukiji 1-4-7, Chuo-ku, Tokyo Toda Building 03-3541-0177
