ChefKohei Kawanaka: Knowing the ingredients and pursuing them to the fullest
Born in Shiga Prefecture in 1955, his family runs a store specializing in live local chickens. Making use of his many years of experience raising chickens and selling chicken, he opened "Jidoriya Onza" at the age of 55. From raising chickens to slaughtering them and serving them, he is particular about each aspect, and continues to search for the answer to the question "what is local chicken?" every day. Kawanaka is also a first-class architect and has a deep knowledge of music. He prides himself on being "obsessive" and designed the store himself, which is equipped with his own special sound equipment, creating a comfortable space.
SpaceA simple yet playful space designed by the owner himself
The interior of the restaurant makes the most of the natural qualities of the materials, and the warmth of the wood is conveyed directly, creating a calming space that warms the hearts of all who visit. The owner himself, who is a first-class architect, designed the restaurant. In addition to the open lounge table seats and counter seats that are limited to six people per day, there are also unique sunken kotatsu seats with a bird cage motif, so the restaurant has a playful touch. The restaurant is also equipped with professional sound equipment, which is popular with guests.
Food The careful attention paid to the chickens is almost a love affair. The aesthetics shine through in every step of the process.
Jidoriya Onza is known for its extraordinary attention to detail, starting with the way its chickens are raised. In the chicken coop, the chickens are exposed to plenty of sunlight and the natural wind and soil, allowing them to grow freely. The chickens are raised with great care and come in different varieties, such as Omi Shamo and Omi Jidori, but the owner makes the most of each chicken's unique characteristics, showcasing every last bit of them, from comb to tail. His tireless spirit of inquiry is so impressive that he even makes his own "salt" to go perfectly with chicken.
With a consistent philosophy starting from breeding, we explore the possibilities of chickens, and offer the ultimate chicken cuisine, tasting every last bit from head to tail.
On the shores of Lake Biwa in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture. Located in a residential area next to a chicken farm and a live local chicken specialty store is Jidoriya Onza, which serves fresh local chic
...ken dishes. The owner, who knows local chicken inside and out, makes it his first priority to make the most of the chicken's flavor, and delivers to his guests the essence of "what local chicken is." The local chicken dishes, which are particular about "fat with no peculiar taste that you can eat every day," are truly refreshing when paired with wine or champagne. Immerse yourself in a dish full of love and philosophy, which is only possible because the chickens are raised in the chicken farm.
