Torikai Sohonke Meieki Nishiguchi Branch
Famous for its crispy fried chicken wings (tebasaki) made with Nagoya’s premium local chicken, Nagoya Cochin.
Torikai Sohonke Meieki Nishiguchi Branch specializes in dishes featuring Nagoya Cochin, Aichi Prefecture's renowned premium chicken breed.
Conveniently located just outside the Shinkansen exit at Nagoya Station’s West Gate, the restaurant offers a relaxed, izakaya-style dining experience centered around Nagoya Cochin dishes. Filled with the enticing aroma of charcoal-grilling over Binchotan charcoal, it's a popular spot, bustling with office workers and locals stopping by after work.
Their standout specialty is Nagoya's famous crispy fried chicken wings (tebasaki), expertly seasoned with a spicy-sweet glaze made from red wine, soy sauce, and a proprietary blend of spices. Prepared exclusively with firm-textured Nagoya Cochin chicken, the wings deliver an irresistible crunch and juicy tenderness—perfectly complementing cold beer.
Also popular are their skewered chicken (yakitori), freshly prepared and grilled one by one at the front of the shop. Another must-try is the luxurious Oyako-don, featuring tender chicken meat and three rich Nagoya Cochin eggs served over rice.
