Omori Torikyu

Located two or three minute’s walk from the east exit of Omori Station, Omori Torikyu offer a range of different chicken bento (lunchbox), including regular bento (the prices of which depend on the number and variety of accompanying side portions and range from ¥400 to ¥800, bento containing only side portions, and chicken soboro (minced chicken flavoured with soy sauce and sugar) bento. In addition to bento, they also offer chicken karaage coated in a snow-white batter that perfectly balances the underlying flavour of the soy sauce marinade. Chicken karaage here come in two different size portions (3 pieces for ¥300 or 6 pieces for ¥600); however, it’s worth remembering that because this isn’t a karaage-only spot, they only produce karaage in limited quantities, and with so many offices and residences only a stone’s throw away, they often sell out soon after lunchtime on weekdays and Saturdays.
