Torimeshi is a local dish of Bibai City in Sorachi District. Tori means chicken and Meshi stands for rice. Simply saying, torimeshi is boiled rice seasoned with soy sauce and sake, and cooked with chicken fillet and edible offal. The origin of this dish is in home cooking of yesteryear farms. In the late 19th century, those who cultivated the land raised fowls for a secondary income stream. They cooked their chickens when they entertained guests or had parties. Now, some restaurants in the city serve their own torimeshi, or you can find in the bento section of supermarkets.
