Chicken bone broth
The two hot pot broths are made by simmering selected chicken bones for more than 10 hours. Both are included in the ¥13,200 course.
Clear Chin-tan broth

Chicken neck and other grilled items are cooked over NEW LIGHT’s custom wood-fire grill. The wood-fire dishes are included in the ¥13,200, 10-course menu.
