Oita Tori-ten Set Meal priced at 960 yen, and the
Oita Tori-ten and Dango Soup Set Meal at 1,190 yen. For those who want to enjoy a lighter option, there's also the
Dango Soup available for 470 yen. This introduction comes as Yayoi-ken continues to expand its presence, boasting 374 locations nationwide as of February 2026.
Oita's Culinary Treasures: Tori-ten and Dango Soup
The star of the new menu is the
Tori-ten, a delectable deep-fried chicken dish known for its juiciness and crispiness. Using tender chicken thigh meat, each piece is fried to golden perfection. Customers can enjoy it as is or enhance the flavor with traditional Oita condiments such as
ponzu sauce and
karashi mustard. The tangy ponzu and spicy mustard offer a delightful twist that keeps your taste buds engaged until the last bite. For added convenience, Tori-ten is also available for takeout, allowing customers to savor the flavors of Oita at home.
On the other hand,
Dango Soup is a cherished local dish crafted with
barley miso from Oita. This hearty soup contains chewy flat dumplings, assorted vegetables such as radish, carrot, burdock, and onion, and tender pork, combining to create a dish that is both comforting and satisfying. The rich flavors of the ingredients meld together perfectly, resulting in a mild yet fulfilling taste experience. Adding a dash of
yuzu pepper further elevates the flavor, making it even more enjoyable. The Dango Soup can be ordered as a standalone item, or it can replace the standard miso soup in other set meals for an additional 370 yen.
Customers are encouraged to visit their nearest Yayoi-ken to indulge in these delicious traditional dishes from Oita.
