Morikawa: Where Chicken Enthusiasts Find Authentic Delight
In the heart of Higashi Ginza, near the renowned Kabukiza Theater, lies Morikawa—a hidden gem for chicken enthusiasts nestled in a cozy alleyway. Despite its unassuming exterior, Morikawa exudes authenticity, having been founded in 2014 by a proprietor from Fukuoka. Stepping inside, you’re transported to a bygone era where culinary artistry reigns supreme, accentuated by the elegant Japanese curtain adorning the entrance.
Come lunchtime, Morikawa presents three delightful options: the celebrated “Ultimate Oyakodon,” the enticing “Fried Chicken Set,” and a unique daily special. The standout choice undoubtedly is the Ultimate Oyakodon—a harmonious blend of chicken, egg, and rice in a richly flavored broth. For a mere 250 yen, indulge in Morikawa’s signature dish: succulent fried chicken thigh. Its crispy exterior gives way to tender, juicy meat within. Pair it with the Oyakodon for a truly unforgettable culinary experience.
As evening descends, Morikawa undergoes a transformation into a cozy sanctuary, offering Mizutaki hot pot—a comforting choice for weary travelers. Whether relishing a leisurely lunch or savoring sake amidst the gentle glow of lanterns, Morikawa ensures an unforgettable gastronomic journey. Each dish is meticulously crafted with love and care, promising a memorable dining escapade.
