This season, Izakaya Hirokoji presents five limited-time creations, ranging from indulgent uni sushi and a refreshing cold udon topped with assorted sashimi to tender chicken dishes. Through thoughtful ingredient pairings and different cooking techniques, each dish highlights the natural sweetness of seafood and the delicate flavours of premium chicken.
Fresh from the Sea｜Cold Charcoal Udon with Assorted Sashimi
Made with charcoal udon infused with edible bamboo charcoal powder, the noodles feature a distinctive jet-black appearance and a smooth, pleasantly chewy texture. They are generously paired with seven types of seafood - Tuna Akami, Shima Aji, Hamachi, Salmon, Jumbo Sweet Shrimp, Salmon Roe and Crab Meat, bringing together delicate sweetness, rich umami and contrasting textures in one refreshing yet satisfying dish.
For the best experience, mix the quail egg, chopped spring onion and grated daikon into the chilled dipping sauce, creating a smoother and more rounded flavour. Dip a small portion of the charcoal udon into the sauce before enjoying it alongside the assorted seafood for a beautifully layered combination of flavours and textures.
Delicacies of the Sea｜Uni and Tuna Akami Sushi
Sushi rice is layered with minced tuna, Tuna Akami and creamy uni, then finished with black fish roe. Served with crisp nori on the side, guests can wrap the sushi themselves before enjoying. The clean, savoury flavour of tuna complements the rich sweetness of uni, while nori adds a delicate crispity to each bite.
Refreshing Starter｜Hakata Jidori Chicken Breast, Chicken Ham & Onion Salad
Tender slow-cooked Hakata Jidori chicken breast is paired with chicken ham and Hokkaido onions, prized for their juicy sweetness and mild pungency, together with cherry tomatoes and seasonal vegetables. The tender chicken and crisp, naturally sweet onions create a light and refreshing combination that makes for an ideal start to a meal.
Simply Grilled｜Salt-grilled Miyazaki Chicken
Premium chicken from Miyazaki is simply grilled to highlight its natural flavour. Lightly charred on the outside while remaining tender and juicy within, the chicken delivers a delicate grilled aroma in every bite. A squeeze of fresh lemon adds bright acidity, balancing the richness and giving the dish a refreshing finish.
Homemade Speciality｜Homemade Chicken Tsukune
Homemade minced chicken is carefully seasoned and grilled until lightly charred on the outside while remaining tender and juicy within. Served with a savoury-sweet sauce and Japanese egg, the egg and sauce can be mixed together before dipping the chicken tsukune. The creamy egg coats each bite, complementing the rich chicken flavour with a smooth and rounded finish.
From fresh seafood to succulent chicken, each of these five limited-time creations showcases the distinctive character of carefully selected ingredients. Visit Izakaya Hirokoji and discover the diverse flavours of the season.
