Tori Ten is one of the famous dishes in Oita and Beppu. As its name suggests, it is Tori(chicken) tempura.
By the way, in the northern part of Oita, Usa City and Nakatsu City are famous for Kara-age(Japanese fried chicken).
The difference between Tori Ten and Kara-age is whether or not wheat or potato starch is melted in water or not. Tori ten is to melt the clothes in water, and Kara-age to no melt.
The famous Tori Ten shop in Oita is an ANTORE of a Western restaurant near the park in front of JR Oita Station.
The heavy appearance made of bricks, the shop is dark even in the daytime. I get the impression that it's more like a coffee shop than a western restaurant.
Tori Ten, which made chicken breast, tastes lighter than it looks and is not oily. Moreover, the Tori Ten set meal with rice and miso soup is as cheap as 750 yen.
In addition to Tori Ten, there are steak and kama-meshi.
Tori Ten and beer are essential items to support the Rugby World...
