Exciting New Arrival in Tokyo: 'Torishokudo Hakata Hanazen' Opening in Shinjuku

On September 2, 2025, the highly anticipated izakaya 'Torishokudo Hakata Hanazen' will make its debut in the bustling area of Nishi-Shinjuku, marking the chain's first location in Tokyo and the sixth overall. The establishment is founded by Torizen Dining Co., Ltd., headquartered in Fukuoka City under the leadership of President Yoshiharu Kawatsu.

About 'Torishokudo Hakata Hanazen'

'Torishokudo Hakata Hanazen' is a casual dining izakaya that showcases a variety of beloved Hakata dishes including Mizutaki, Motsunabe, and Torikawa. With a fresh approach, the eatery aims to make these traditional flavors more accessible to everyone, allowing patrons to fully enjoy the exquisite taste of 'Hanamidori,' the restaurant's signature chicken raised in open-air facilities.

For your next gathering or night out, the restaurant offers all-you-can-drink courses starting from 4,500 yen (including tax), paired with an assortment of seven delectable dishes!

The Passion Behind 'Hanamidori'

The inspiration of 'Hanamidori' stems from the founder Yoshiharu Kawatsu’s experience in poultry sales, where he realized that the quality of chicken is paramount. He actively engages in raising chickens, creating the unique 'Hanamidori' breed known for its succulent and vibrant pink meat, raised under healthy conditions using a specialized diet including seaweed, herbs, and grape pomace. This breed notably reduces the usual gamey taste found in chicken, delivering a distinct flavor and a delightful texture.

New Location: Shinjuku Mitsui Building

Conveniently located just a 7-minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station's West Exit and a mere 3 minutes from Tocho-Mae Station on the Oedo Line, 'Torishokudo Hakata Hanazen' is situated in one of Japan's busiest business districts—the heart of Shinjuku, surrounded by numerous commercial facilities. The spacious interior is perfect for a casual meet-up with friends, business functions, or family gatherings, allowing guests to relax in comfortable seating arrangements.

The restaurant will feature an extensive menu, with the highlight being the popular 'Hanamidori Mizutaki,' a traditional dish that embodies the essence of Fukuoka’s culinary heritage. A standout dish you won’t want to miss is the exclusive 'Mentaiko Motsunabe'—a dish crafted with a distinct chicken broth, tender domestic beef offals, and fresh vegetables, enhanced by the spicy kick of homemade mentaiko (pollock roe). One taste of this dish and you're guaranteed to be hooked!

Additionally, visitors can enjoy the highly-rated lunch offerings featuring 'Hanamidori’ chicken dishes beginning at a reasonable price of 1,100 yen (including tax), perfect for individuals and business lunches alike. Some of the delicious lunch options include the tantalizing 'Yangnyeom Chicken Set' and 'Chicken Nanban Set.'

The Must-Try Signature Dishes

Besides the lunch menu, make sure to savor the three remarkable signature dishes starting from 1,980 yen (including tax)—the renowned 'Hakata Motsunabe' using carefully selected domestic beef offals, with variations including classic 'Soy Sauce' and 'Miso' flavors alongside the crowd-favorite 'Mentaiko Motsunabe.'

And don’t forget to try the irresistible 'Hakata Torikawa Makimaki Skewers,' priced at 187 yen (including tax). Crispy chicken skin cooked with a special sauce will leave you craving more!

Inviting Atmosphere for All Occasions

The welcoming ambiance allows patrons to enjoy comfortable seating arrangements ideal for group gatherings or leisurely nights out. Don't miss out on this chance to indulge in authentic Hakata flavors and service done with a smile!
