About this place
Whether you are craving deeply seasoned Japanese fried chicken or the soothing comfort of tender chicken and egg simmered in savory dashi, Torisen offers a casual spot right next to Soshigaya-Okura Station. The interior is arranged primarily with counter seating, and touchscreen ordering keeps the process seamless and low-pressure, making it an easy choice for a quick lunch or solo dinner.
A core fixture of the menu is karaage, available in seasoned varieties such as classic soy sauce, salt, or robust garlic. Ordering the 3-variety combination set lets you sample each flavor profile side by side while enjoying the crisp, aromatic crust against bowls of steamed rice. The fried options also extend to pairings like chicken nanban and croquettes made with Hokkaido potatoes.
The other headliner is oyakodon, where gently cooked chicken is enveloped in soft, runny egg and tied together with a comforting, dashi-rich broth. Diners can also order from the repertoire of Senkichi, a curry udon specialist. Its fragrant, rich curry udon is available in smaller portions as well, making it easy to pair with an oyakodon bowl or top with extra karaage or a croquette for a heartier meal.
Beyond full set meals, the counter works well for casual evening drinks alongside draft beer, highballs, or lemon sours, paired with quick bites such as chicken wings or lotus root tempura. With bento boxes and à la carte portions available to take away, the shop serves as a practical, reliable station-side kitchen throughout the day.
