Toriten
Add a single drop of kabosu soy sauce to the batter. From within the crispy, light tempura, soft and juicy chicken thigh meat reveals itself. This is a dish unique to Oita, distinct from both karaage and tatsuta-age. It is said to have originated at the long-established restaurant 'Toyoken' in Beppu. The story goes that out of consideration for women who might find bone-in fried chicken difficult to eat, the chef cut boneless thigh meat into easy-to-eat pieces and prepared them tempura-style. It was originally served as staff meal (makanai) at the shop. Eventually, its reputation spread throughout the prefecture, and today it is a soul food of Oulita commonly found in both homes and restaurants. Part of the fun is discovering the unique batter and sauces used by different shops. Please enjoy it freshly fried with vinegar soy sauce and mustard.
