Nagoya Cochin

Nagoya Cochin is an egg-combined chicken that was certified as the first practical chicken breed in Japan by the Japan Poultry Association in 1905. It is considered to be one of the three major chickens in Japan along with "Hinai chicken" and "Satsuma chicken". Raised mainly in Aichi prefecture, it takes about three times as many days as broilers to grow the meat, which gives it a richer flavor and a firmer texture, giving it a deeper taste not found in broiler chicken.
