In Miyagawacho, Kyoto, "Torinabechin," an exclusive chicken hotpot restaurant operating by referral only and limited to two groups per day, is now launching a new lunchtime business model. Starting at 11 AM, it will begin offering "Chicken Paitan Ramen" with only three counter seats.
In the evening, it is a renowned restaurant known only to those with an introduction.
In the daytime, it offers an authentic bowl that anyone can savor.
With the desire to share its "philosophy of dashi" (broth), which has previously only been provided to a limited number of members and referred guests, the restaurant is embarking on a new challenge by starting lunchtime operations.
■ 100% Hinai-Jidori Chicken. Rich Chicken Paitan Broth Cooked for Approximately 2 Days, Free of Impurities.
The chicken paitan ramen offered this time uses 100% Hinai-jidori chicken, known as one of Japan's three great local chickens from Akita Prefecture.
Carefully simmered for approximately two days, only the inherent umami, aroma, sweetness, and richness of the chicken are extracted. The result is an elegant bowl that is rich yet not heavy, allowing customers to drink every last drop.
This depth, born from ingredients, precise cooking, and time, cannot be achieved through mass production. It is a "ramen that captivates with its broth," made possible precisely because it is an evening hotpot specialty restaurant.
■ Limited to 3 Counter Seats. A Small Luxury Experience, Prepared Right Before Your Eyes.
The service is provided at the counter seats inside the restaurant, nestled in the atmospheric streets of Miyagawacho.
Seating is strictly limited to just three seats.
To meticulously prepare each bowl, the number of seats has been intentionally restricted.
A bowl prepared right before your eyes.
A quiet space.
A fragrant soup.
We offer a "special lunchtime" experience, enjoyed away from the hustle and bustle, right in the heart of Kyoto.
■ From an Exclusive Evening Restaurant to an Open Daytime Gem.

The exclusivity of the evening and the openness of the daytime.
