Nagoya Cochin Ichio

Established in 1953, Nagoya Cochin Ichio is a long-standing specialty restaurant dedicated to showcasing the finest in Nagoya Cochin cuisine—one of Japan’s top three premium chicken breeds. Conveniently located just a 3-minute walk from the station, the restaurant features a stately Sukiya-style exterior, while inside, both tatami and table seating are available. Every table is set in a private room, offering guests a calm, intimate dining experience.

At Ichio, only the highest-grade "purebred" Nagoya Cochin is used. Known for its firm texture and rich flavor, this chicken is a delicacy beloved across Japan.

The menu includes full-course meals, such as hot pots with rich Hatcho miso, traditional mizutaki (chicken broth hot pot), and seasonal kaiseki-style dishes that highlight the full appeal of Nagoya Cochin. A la carte options like negima (chicken and scallion skewers) and tsukune (chicken meatballs) grilled over binchotan charcoal are also highly recommended, whether ordered on their own or as part of a course.

For lunch, guests can enjoy value-packed options like the elegant Miyabi Zen or the Ichio Zen, which includes seasonal ingredients and fresh seafood. The top pick? The Signature Premium Oyako-don, featuring charcoal-grilled chicken thigh and rich Cochin egg in a savory, silky blend that’s simply irresistible.

Savor expertly prepared Nagoya Cochin in a refined setting that only a true local institution can offer.
