Savor the Unparalleled Oyakodon Delights at Tori Dining&Bar Goto in Shinjuku
Tori Dining&Bar Goto, an undiscovered treasure nestled on Otakibashi-Dori Street, a mere 3-minute leisurely stroll from the western exit of JR Shinjuku Station, awaits your arrival. Descending into the basement, you are gracefully welcomed by a sliding door, ushering you into a realm of serenity, suffused with the gentle radiance of subdued downlights.
Brace yourself for an extraordinary midday repast—a consummate masterpiece renowned as oyakodon. The key lies in the Tokyo Shamo chicken, a fabled breed celebrated for its unparalleled excellence. Each dawn, fresh deliveries from Ome materialize, ensuring adaptability in culinary preparations, be it grilling or simmering.
Nevertheless, the true alchemy unfolds when the chicken is expertly seared over the finest Binchotan charcoal. This distinctive cooking technique bestows succulent, tender meat, enrobed in a tantalizingly crisp exterior, courtesy of the charcoal’s unwavering heat and intoxicating aroma.
To relish this experience to the fullest, surrender to the pleasure of rupturing the luxuriant, golden yolk at the heart of the dish. Despite its apparent simplicity—consisting solely of chicken and egg—oyakodon captivates with its harmonious amalgamation of flavors.
Each morsel presents a delightful interplay of the Tokyo Shamo chicken’s opulent resilience, the velvety smoothness of the egg, and the concentrated umami essence suffused in the meticulously crafted broth. As the chicken, egg, and rice coalesce, a symphony of savory and sweet soy-based broth pirouettes on your palate, conjuring an unparalleled sensation of euphoria.
This extraordinary delight is exclusively confined to oyakodon—a true testament to its singularity among rice bowl dishes. Immerse yourself in the succulent pleasures of Tokyo Shamo chicken, as its inherent delectability is imbued with juicy tenderness and gratifying chewiness.
Should you yearn for further variations, Tori Dining&Bar Goto extends two additional renditions of this culinary masterpiece. Notably, the fastidiously prepared “Kamadaki Kyukyoku (ultimate) Oyakodon” is a gastronomic encounter worthy of savoring as well.
