Yamato Rikukei

With a single bite, you experience a firm elasticity. The more you chew, the more sweetness and umami gradually overflow—this is Yamato Rikukei, the local chicken raised in Nara. This breed was developed through extensive research by Nara Prefecture with the goal of restoring the taste of 'Yamato Kashiwa,' which was once beloved in Nara. By crossbreeding Nagoya breeds and Shamo, full-scale distribution began in 1982. While general chickens are raised in about 60 days, Yamato Rikukei is raised over a period of 120 to 140 days—roughly twice as long. It is said that this extra time manifests not as physical size, but as depth of flavor in the meat. The more care and time invested, the more profound the deliciousness. This is Nara's proud, flavorful local chicken.
