Akita Hinai Jidoriya (秋田比内地鶏や), Serving Hinai Jidori Oyakodon(比内地鶏親子丼), the Special Gourmet You Shouldn't Miss in Akita, Japan!


On Apr. 23, 2018, my friend and I took Shin Nihonkai Ferry from Tomakomai, Hokkaido in the evening. We arrived at Port of Akita the next morning. And then we went to Downtown Akita from Port of Akita by bus. We started our short trip in Akita, Japan.

Our scheduled breakfast, Suehiro Ramen Honpo, was closed that morning. We changed our plan and had soba noodles for breakfast at JR Akita Station. After we finished our breakfast, we walked to Senshu Park in Akita City to view cherry blossoms!

After enjoying cherry blossoms, it was off-peak for lunch. When it came to Akita, Hinai Chicken was obviously the special local gourmet we shouldn't miss! Therefore we went back to Topico Building near JR Akita Station and enter Akita Hinai Jidoriya (秋田比内地鶏や) on the 3rd floor!



Without doubt, we came here definitely for Hinai Jidori Oyakodon(比内地鶏親子丼)! There were 3 famous kinds of Jidori Chicken in Japan, Akita Hinai Chicken, Satsuma Jidori chicken and Nagoya Chochin chicken!


There were 2 kinds of Hinai Jidori Oyakodon(比内地鶏親子丼) on its menu, Ultimate Oyakodon (究極親子丼) at 1,380 JPY (= 12.65 USD) and Supreme Oyakodon (極上親子丼) at 1,080 JPY (= 9.9 USD). The difference between them was the egg they cooked!
Ultimate Oyakodon (究極親子丼): Hinai Chicken + Hinai Chicken's Egg
Supreme Oyakodon (極上親子丼): Hinai Chicken + Japan's Normal Domestic Egg


Of course, we both ordered the Ultimate Hinai Jidori Oyakodon(比内地鶏親子丼) composed of Hinai Chicken and Hinai Chicken's egg at 1,380 JPY without any hesitation!!



The oyakodon smelled mouthwatering when we opened the lid. We were so looking forward to tasting it!


As soon as I took some photos, I put a spoon of Hinai Jidori Oyakodon(比内地鶏親子丼) into my mouth. The tender and juicy Hinai chicken mixed with moist and rich Hinai chicken's egg seemed to melt in my mouth. And the Japanese rice made them almost perfect! It was just like that I was enjoying a beautiful and graceful symphony of taste in my mouth!



Although the price here was exactly higher than the normal oyakodon, I was pretty sure that it was definitely worth a try for the human beings who was eager to pursue the ultimate gourmet!


After I finished the oyakodon, I enjoyed some miso soup. It made me so satisfied!


By the way, Akita Hinai Jidoriya (秋田比内地鶏や) had a branch also in Akita. But this time our itinerary had to be matched with ferry schedule because we took ferries. We could only stay in Akita for less than a day and soon took train to Hirosaki, Aomori!

After we enjoyed the satisfying Ultimate Hinai Jidori Oyakodon(比内地鶏親子丼), we had to say good-bye to Akita and left for Hirosaki, Aomori by train.

Now I'm looking forward to trying another local special gourmet of Akita, Kiritanpo, next time!
