Toriten is short for 'tori (chicken) tempura', and is one of Oita’s staple local foods, found throughout Oita at reasonable prices. While toriten itself is battered chicken that has then been fried, tempura-style, in Oita it is most often eaten with kabosu ponzu (a citrus dipping sauce) and mustard. Although it can be served various ways, even as a side dish in another meal, one of the most common ways of serving it is as part of a teishoku (set meal). Toriten teishoku will vary slightly between restaurants but will include toriten, a bowl of rice, a bowl of soup (normally miso), and pickles.
