Ginza Kagari Honten sits down a quiet alley in Ginza 6-Chome, celebrated internationally as the benchmark for luxurious tori paitan chicken soup. Master chef Tsuyoshi Iwasaki simmers whole domestic chickens and bones for ten hours to produce a creamy, golden broth reminiscent of Western poultry potage. Bowls come garnished with edible seasonal vegetables like baby corn, tender asparagus, and low-temperature chicken breast chashu. Condiment plates provide fried garlic flakes and grated ginger.
