Though my target was udon in Takamatsu, I also wanted to eat honetsukidori ! I love chicken. Honetsukidori is grilled chicken’s leg with born. Now it’s the local food of Takamatsu as well as udon. And honetsukidori was born in Honetsukidori Ikkaku (骨付鶏 一鶴). I visited the Yokohama branch a few days ago. But this was the first time to visit in Takamatsu ! I got to there withint 20 minutes walk from Takamatsu station.
I imagined they are like izakaya. But actually they are like cafe or restaurant. It’s on the ground floor. They have upstairs. There were some solo guests. Me, too.
This is their specialty. Honetsukidori. I think everyone order it. They have parent bird and baby bird. Parent bard is chewy but it’s tasty. So, I learned that it’s good to eat one baby bird and share parent bird with someone at Yokohama branch.

The cabbage is free. It’s fresh cabbage without seasoning. But it’s helpful because baby birds have much fats.
Tsukimi tororo. When I find it on the menu at yakitori restaurants, I order it without fail. I love it. Tsukimi means yolk when the word is used about foods. It have raw yolk, grated yam and soy sauce. It’s like drink. It’s served in sooner.
Because I was there by myself, I ordered baby bird only. Well. It’s really fatty. All liquid on the tray is fat of the bird. Its skin was so crisp. The meat was juicy and delicious ! Everyone in the restaurant eat it with hands. But it’s hard for me a bit because it’s large and the weight of the meat was heavy. And those meat can be taken with chopsticks easily. So, I ate it with chopsticks.
Back. Of course, those fat is feast. So, I put cabbage into the fat and ate. Only the fats were too heavy, but with cabbage is lighter. It was seasoned stronger, so it go with beer very well. Spicy !
Ah, I didn’t have beer, and I drunk highball. Highball is good friend, too.
I felt like having Japanese sake produced in Kagawa prefecture. They had Kinryo Geppaku only that time. So, I ordered it. The staff served me two glasses. Left is water, right is Kinryo Geppaku. Wow it’s large.
