Crispy-Skinned, Juicy Bone-In Grilled Chicken: The Perfect Grand Finale
About this spot
When it comes to bone-in grilled chicken in Takamatsu, this popular restaurant is invariably mentioned. This Kagawa soul food—chicken thigh grilled bone-in with garlic and spices—is a spectacular dish. Two varieties are offered: 'oyatori' (the tougher, deeper-flavored adult bird) and 'hinatori' (tender, succulent young bird); trying both is recommended. The local way to eat it is to dip cabbage in the hot chicken oil left on the iron plate. Finish with rice, and satisfaction reaches its peak. With crispy skin and meat juice bursting with each bite, bone-in grilled chicken is the perfect finale to a day of Takamatsu dining.
Tips
Popular restaurant—expect lines before opening. Evening hours can fill quickly; try coming early in the evening for shorter waits. Check hours in advance as they may vary. Cooking takes time, so order your bone-in chicken immediately upon seating—the local custom. Bring hand wipes or wear the paper apron provided.
Best time to visit
Allow about 1.5 hours. Right after opening in the evening has shorter waits and piping-hot, freshly grilled chicken.
