Description
Established in 1760 in Ningyocho, Tamahide in Tokyo’s Ningyocho district is known as the birthplace of oyakodon, a classic Japanese comfort food. It remains one of the best places to enjoy the dish, which consists of chicken and silky beaten eggs, simmered in sweet-and-savory dashi broth, atop a bowl of steamed rice. Tamahide’s version uses ‘shamo’ chicken, an especially delicious breed of chicken unique to Japan — not to be missed when you’re in Tokyo!
Not just an oyakodon specialist, Tamahide also offers other delectable dishes all prepared with shamo chicken. In fact, in its first 100+ years of operations, chicken sukiyaki was its specialty, until its fifth-generation owners invented oyakodon in the late 1800s.
Your set meal booking includes both premium oyakodon and chicken-and-foie-gras sukiyaki hotpot, as well as other appetizers and side dishes.
Indulge in a multi-course meal that includes:
- An appetizer platter
- A chicken side dish
- Premium oyakodon
- Chicken-and-foie-gras sukiyaki hotpot
- Custard pudding
As a treat, you’ll get a complimentary drink — many course meals at Japanese restaurants do not include drinks.
What’s more, you’ll also enjoy Tamahide's old-school ambiance, as you dine in traditional Japanese-style interiors: a ‘shoji’ door at the entrance, tatami seating, and memorabilia and decor dating back to the Edo period.
