The Japanese chikuzenni is a dish which combines chicken and vegetables that are slowly simmered in a flavorful broth infused with soy sauce, mirin, and sake. Originating from the Japanese Fukuoka region, known in the past as Chikuzen, it is usually made with shiitake mushrooms, konnyaku, and decoratively sliced root vegetables such as taro, burdock, lotus root, and carrots.

Traditionally served on New Year’s Day, chikuzenni is also commonly prepared as an everyday dish in many Japanese households and it is often included as a side dish in bento boxes.
