Toritoyo
- chicken
- deli
It has been about 90 years since Toritoyo opened in Nishiki Market. It is a shop with a warm atmosphere run by a mother and son. The glass case in the storefront gives the impression that they specialize in poultry, but they also provide river fish. The river fish is purchased directly from Shiga Prefecture. Many of the dishes they offer are homemade, such as ayu sweetfish simmered in sweet soy sauce and moroko (a fish endemic to Lake Biwa) simmered in soy sauce. Ultimately, however, duck is most popular at this store.
Their most popular item is steamed duck breast. Since the meat shrinks when cooked, it is marinated in a broth of sake, soy sauce, and sugar and steamed as-is. This way, the meat can be cooked to perfection while remaining soft.
