Osaka, Japan｜Karayama Osaka-ikuno-shoji

If you are around definitely visit this place. The fried chicken is so crispy and savoury. All the menu items are good, much better than KFC. If you like cartilage. Definitely try it!

I've been going to this store often since it first opened. Came here today on a weekday at noon. The wait time doesn't feel too long because the staff work quickly. Instead of using a touch panel to order, you call a staff member to explain the menu, and you can also pay by barcode. The taste is very good, and I especially like the Kiwami sauce. (You can also eat it with sweet and spicy sauce or mayo.) The menu changes slightly depending on the season, but the Karayama set meal is a teppanyaki menu. You will receive a discount coupon for your next visit. There seem to be a lot of repeat customers because they get a 100 yen discount if they use it at the time of payment. (Everyone gave out discount coupons at checkout.) There are about 20 parking spaces in front of the store. It is easy to enter if you go south along the inner ring. If you are going north on the inner ring, turn right at the traffic light in front of you and you will be able to enter the parking lot.

The standard Karayama set meal of 4 pieces is a set meal of 4 large pieces of fried chicken, which I think is enough to fill an average person's stomach. For those who don't have much to eat, we recommend the ``3-piece Karayama Set Meal'' and ``Karatama Nabe Set Meal'' at reasonable prices. Please note that the menu was revised in March 2023, and the "karaage set meal" written on the store's signboard has disappeared. It's a roadside store located in a relatively suburban area. Although it's not as crowded as restaurants in downtown or business districts, it still gets crowded during mealtimes, so if you can choose a time, I recommend going between 3pm and 6pm, when it's relatively empty.
