Meguro City, Tokyo, Japan｜Karari shoten

I have been eyeing this karaage shop because I pass by it everyday. I finally caved and indulged— it did not disappoint. Sometimes you just need some fried chicken in life, and this is good fried chicken. ¥281 will get you three generous pieces that are crunchy and warm and that melt-in-your-mouth-this-can’t-be-good-for-you kind of sensation. Tickles the tastebuds just right

INCREDIBLE. this is some seriously good fried chicken and it must be eaten fresh while it’s still hot. crunchy, juicy, it melts in your mouth. do not walk past this store without buying chicken or else you are missing out. 280 yen will get you 2-3 rather large pieces that is perfect for any time of day. highly, highly recommend this place. forget KFC, this is the place to be.

The best karaage I have ever had. The exterior is crispy but not painfully hard. The interior is tender and falls apart with the gentlest press of your teeth. The smell of the spices that are expertly applied stir your appetite when you lift the chicken to your mouth. I bought the 160g box and devoured it in mere minutes. If I could redo my time in Japan, I would eat this karaage every day.
