鳥貴族 池袋ロマンス通り店

This time, I visited "Torikizoku" in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, and I recently noticed a new branch opened in Taiwan as well. On that Sunday evening, it was almost full. We used a tablet for ordering, and as is customary in Japan, we started by ordering drinks. Here's what we ordered, each dish priced at 370 yen:

• Blackcurrant with Lemon
• Suntory Draft Beer
• Grilled Chicken Back Meat with Butter Sauce
• Spicy Grilled Chicken Leg
• Grilled Mentaiko Mayo Chicken Breast
• Secret Sauce Grilled Chicken Leg
• Cabbage with Sesame Oil
• Fried Knee Cartilage
• Salt-Flavored Grilled Chicken Leg
• Sauced Boneless Chicken Wing Sticks
• Cheese Grilled Chicken Meatballs
• Secret Sauce Grilled Chicken Skin
• Cucumber with Salt Sauce Dressing

The total came to 4,810 yen.

Many skewers were over-grilled, and eating too much chicken became a bit overwhelming. The flavor was quite ordinary, though the cabbage helped cut through the richness a bit. The chicken skin and draft beer were pretty good; the grilled chicken back meat with the butter tasted fine even without dipping it in anything. It was worth trying once, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again.
