Jidori Yaki Fukase
A traditional farmhouse along Route 197 in Hijikawa, Ozu City. Guests grill freshly butchered local chicken over charcoal at an irori hearth. Selected as Tabelog Top 100 Chicken Restaurants 2025 and Michelin Bib Gourmand. The rustic, riverside setting draws both locals and visitors from afar.
Reviewers say: 'The best local chicken in a rustic irori setting,' 'The charcoal aroma in the farmhouse atmosphere is irresistible,' and 'Worth traveling from outside the prefecture.' The 2,200-yen yakitori set includes millet rice, miso soup, pickles, and dessert.
