Keep a pin on Honetsukidori Tanakaya for your next Kagawa trip plans. Located near the approach to the famous Kotohira Shrine, the restaurant has a warm, welcoming atmosphere with private rooms and traditional tatami seating, making it a comfortable place to relax and enjoy your meal. There’s also plenty of room if planning for a larger group of even up to 50 people.

The star of the menu is, of course, Kagawa’s famous local specialty - “Honetsukidori” (bone-in chicken). A whole chicken leg is grilled to perfection: crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and bursting with flavor with every bite. The seasoning is kept simple-just salt, pepper, and garlic-to bring out the natural richness of the meat.

There are two types to choose from: “Oyadori” (parent bird), which is firmer and has a satisfying chew, and “Wakadori” (young bird), which is tender and juicy. Ordering both to share and compare is a popular choice for groups.

In addition to their famous chicken, the menu also features a variety of Kagawa regional dishes, fresh seafood from the Seto Inland Sea, and healthy vegetable dishes-so there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

    The smell when it hit the table should be illegal. Super strong garlic and pepper aroma, with the skin fried to a golden, slightly crispy finish. The meat inside is still fairly juicy, and from the very first bite you can tell it’s on the rich, heavy-flavor side.
