Starting April 2, 2026, Kyoto-style oden and seasonal tempura restaurant Toriikuguri has introduced a new "chicken broth oden" alongside its traditional Kyoto-style dashi oden. With locations in Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Yokohama, and Omiya, the restaurant now offers two distinct broths in one visit.
The classic Kyoto dashi is a delicate, refined broth based on kombu and bonito, while the newly added chicken broth is a rich, savory stock made by simmering domestic chicken carcasses for four hours. Diners can now enjoy both broths side by side, choosing based on preference or mood.
Chicken Broth Oden
The chicken broth oden features a deeply flavorful stock extracted from domestic chicken carcasses through a slow four-hour simmer, drawing out the full umami of the chicken. Despite its rich depth, the finish is clean and easy to drink.
Unlike the elegant taste of the traditional Kyoto dashi, this broth delivers a bold, hearty flavor. The broth itself also enhances each ingredient, with carefully selected produce chosen to complement it.
The lineup includes classic items like daikon radish and potato, served with miso on the side, as well as soft-boiled egg, pork spareribs, and other ingredients that pair well with the chicken broth.

Signature Dishes at Toriikuguri
Kyoto Vegetable Tempura
Tempura made with fresh Kyoto vegetables and mountain vegetables, fried in carefully selected oil. The result is a light, refined dish that lets the natural flavor of each ingredient shine. The executive chef, who has honed his craft in Japanese cuisine for many years, finishes each piece with a thin, crispy batter that is easy on the palate. Seasonal ingredients change daily, with each day's selection chosen to be at its most delicious.
Slow-Braised Melt-in-Your-Mouth Pork Belly
Pork belly braised slowly until tender enough to be pulled apart with chopsticks, with the flavor soaked all the way through. The balance between the richness of the fat and the lean meat is carefully maintained, creating a melt-in-the-mouth texture from the first bite. The rich yet refined flavor pairs equally well as a drinking accompaniment or as a rice dish.
Fresh Seafood from Across Japan
Fresh seafood sourced from across Japan is available on the menu, with the executive chef preparing each fish using the most suitable method of the day. Sashimi, tempura, and torched preparations are popular options, and the daily-changing sashimi selection pairs well with sake. Delicate heat application and seasoning bring out the natural flavor of each fish.
Local Sake and Shochu Selection
In addition to popular brands sourced from across Japan, the restaurant also offers sake and shochu personally selected by the executive chef for guests who appreciate fine Japanese spirits, available at all locations. Customers ordering sake can also choose their preferred ochoko (sake cup) from the restaurant's collection, adding a personal touch to the experience.
