Torimeshi（鶏飯）
tori = chicken meshi = rice
“Torimeshi” is a local dish beloved in Oita Prefecture. It’s a type of takikomi gohan (mixed rice). It contains glutinous rice so it stays soft even when cooled, and the rice is infused with the flavors of chicken and burdock, making it an excellent dish.
There are two ways to make it: either by simmering ingredients such as chicken, vegetables, and mushrooms in soy sauce and sugar and mixing them into cooked rice, or by putting the ingredients and rice together in a rice cooker and cooking them.
The most common ingredients are chicken and burdock, but some households may also add shiitake mushrooms, carrots, and fried tofu.
Oita Prefecture is one of the top prefectures in Japan for the amount of chicken purchased per household per year. It is also known as the birthplace of “karaage,” which can be said to be Japan’s national dish.
In addition to karaage, toriten is also very popular. Check out the recipe. 👉 Toriten (chicken tempura recipe) loved by the people of Oita

Chicken takikomi gohan recipe (Japanese chicken rice) COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut the chicken into 1cm cubes.
- Wash the burdock and scrape off the skin with the back of a knife.
- Shave the burdock with a knife.
- Place the shaved burdock in a bowl with plenty of water to prevent it from discoloring.
- Heat sesame oil in a frying pan.
- Fry the chicken and drained burdock in a frying pan.
- Once the burdock is cooked through, add dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, dashi stock granules, and salt, stir fry for about 1 minute, and turn off the heat.
- Wash the rice and glutinous rice, and put them in a rice cooker.
- Place the chicken and burdock on top of the rice. Add all the seasoning liquid as well. Rice soaked in water containing salt or soy sauce will not absorb water as well. Therefore, it is best to add seasonings just before cooking the rice.
- Add water and cook on the quick cook setting.
- Once cooked, open the lid and mix everything with a rice spoon.
- Close the lid and wait 10 minutes.
- Serve on a plate.
*In the recipe I learned from my grandmother, I cooked the rice on normal cook setting instead of quick cook setting, and added the ingredients when there were about 15 minutes left of cooking time. I use the quick cook setting so I add the ingredients right from the start.
