Ichitsuru Takamatsu Store

Ichitsuru, a bone-in chicken specialty shop originating in Marugame, is now a celebrated local gourmet restaurant representing Kagawa Prefecture. Their bone-in chicken, made from whole chicken thigh meat seasoned with spicy flavors and grilled to perfection, is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The 'oya-dori' (parent bird) has great bite and umami that expands with every chew, while the 'hina-dori' (young bird) is tender and succulent. The connoisseur's way to enjoy it is to dip cabbage and rice balls in the chicken fat that pools on the plate. It pairs perfectly with beer and is beloved by both locals and tourists alike.
