MK Guide Recommends

Toritsune Shizendo has earned a quiet reputation for elevating chicken cuisine, especially oyakodon, to its finest form. Located in Sotokanda, near Akihabara’s busy streets, the restaurant offers a humble, traditional interior where the focus is on technique and quality. Their signature oyakodon features jidori simmered in a refined dashi, topped with softly set eggs that create a rich, custard-like texture over rice. Dinner options expand to include a wider variety of chicken dishes — charcoal-grilled cuts, soups, and seasonal creations that showcase the bird's versatility. Service is steady and practiced, and lunch often features their renowned donburi. Credit cards are accepted, and reservations are recommended for evening visits. Toritsune Shizendo stands as a benchmark for Tokyo’s chicken cuisine — restrained, skillful, and rooted in a long tradition.
