Jiro no Ouchi

“Jiro no Ouchi” is a lodging facility with a restaurant in Hatayama, deep in the mountains of Kochi Prefecture. It serves fresh local chicken, “Tosa Jiro,” carefully raised at its own poultry farm and prepared in ways that bring out the ingredients’ natural flavors. It was founded to help revitalize the hometown through the production of “Tosa Jiro.” Since then, its efforts have been featured on TV programs and in manga, earning recognition across Japan.

The signature menu item is the “Tosa Jiro Charcoal-Grilled Course.” This dinner course is meant to be enjoyed slowly over 2 to 3 hours. It includes Tosa Jiro soup, shabu-shabu, a surprise dish of the day, 10 kinds of charcoal-grilled items, a mini oyakodon, and egg ice cream. You can also try rare cuts such as the comb of a young male chicken, something rarely available even nationwide. During lunchtime, there are also the “Full Enjoyment Course” and the “Oyakodon Set Meal.” Please note that all menu items require advance reservations.

The restaurant is made up entirely of private rooms and is reservation-only. Another highlight is being able to enjoy your meal in a quiet setting surrounded by forest. As you take in the surrounding nature, water, and breeze, you can experience the hospitality unique to “Jiro no Ouchi.”
