Reviews Summary

Diners praise the delicious and juicy grilled chicken, with options for different textures. The chicken miso cheese is also a highlight. However, some find the atmosphere too cafeteria-like and the food overly oily or tough, leading to disappointing experiences for certain palates.

"Located in Marugame, nice ambience with young service providers. They have both the places Japanese style sitting and western. Even though it was Thursday, we still waited for 20 minutes, so on Saturday it must be many people so reservations helps."

Hardeep singh

"Big parking lots, still many space when I arrive at 2:30pm on a weekend. We order the young chicken thighs (from experience the other shops, old chicken thighs are very tough 😆) and it was so good! It was very juicy. The torimeshi was also delicious!"

7 Superb Gourmet Dishes to Try in Shikoku

One of the famous specialties of Kagawa is "Honetsuki-dori" (bone in chicken). Although this delicacy can be eaten at various locations, this is one of the most popular places to get it.
