The signature fresh tsukune is made from finely minced Oita crown chicken breast mixed with cartilage for texture, served best within one minute of preparation alongside shiitake dressing and Oita Ran-Oh egg. The legal-style liver sashimi is carefully low-temperature cooked to maintain a nearly raw texture, seasoned simply with salt and sesame oil. Their toriten uses carefully prepared chicken breast, fried to perfection for a crispy yet tender bite
