As the name suggests (‘torisho’ means ‘chicken artisan’), owner-chef Yoshitomo Ishii applies a range of artisanal skills to create his set pieces. He sources brand-name chicken and free-range chicken, using the meat and innards of each for different purposes. The menu intersperses other chicken dishes, such as smoked chicken and chicken hotpot. Yakitori is dressed with oroshi-ponzu or with wasabi for a refreshing taste that reflects Ishii’s kappo background. For the final dish, homemade chicken ramen with tajarin noodles is a popular choice.
