蔵田ほたる
A restaurant in Azabu where you can enjoy yakitori using ingredients from Kyushu, the hometown of the head chef, as well as Hikariko Jidori and Hinai Jidori. On this day, I was invited to enjoy Hikariko Jidori. The dishes we had included: consomme soup, chilled chawanmushi with junsa and red eggplant, liver pate, Amakusa Daio breast grilled with Hayama wasabi, sand liver and fundoshi featuring Hinai Jidori sand liver and Hikariko Jidori fundoshi, pickles, Hinai Jidori shoulder meat, Hikariko Jidori harami, thick young corn from Miyazaki Prefecture, mixed cuts, Hinai Jidori sabiyaki breast, Hinai Jidori minced meat, Awaji new small onions, Hikariko Jidori wings, Amakusa Daio thigh, tsukune with mustard seeds, grilled Amarillo tomatoes, grilled natural cheese, Shan duck, Hikariko Jidori thigh, and Wan Tan noodles to finish. Hikariko Jidori is raised in a unique way with its own feed and breeding methods from chick to adult. The meat of Hikariko Jidori is softer and more elegant in fat compared to the chewy and firm image of Nagoya Cochin. The standout dish of the day was the sand liver and fundoshi combination of Hinai Jidori sand liver, Hikariko Jidori fundoshi, and Hikariko Jidori sand liver on one skewer. The Amakusa Daio thigh was incredibly juicy, and the Hikariko Jidori thigh meat was so delicious that it was best savored in one bite to enjoy all the juices. The name "Hikariko Jidori" meaning "happiness flying in" is such a lovely name. In times where the news of the current world situation and the pandemic can be disheartening, it's nice to find joy in the little things. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to see the wonderful wine cellar, but I would love to see it next time. #Azabu-Juban gourmet #Azabu-Juban yakitori #Azabu Satori #yakitori #Tokyo yakitori #yakitori lover #yakitori-jo #bird activity girls #R's yakitori pilgrimage #want to connect with yakitori lovers #yakitori shop #yakitori lovers #yakitori love #yakitori girls #yakitori Instagram #foodie #Amakusa Daio #Hikariko Jidori #Hinai Jidori #Shan duck
