Some international tourists whom I met said that their favorite Japanese food is Karaage.
I wonder if fried chicken is well known around the world. Some say that the Japanese fried chicken tastes different from other ones. Also Japanese Karaage is more delicious.
I guess it's more delicious because of Japanese ingredients such as soy-sauce, sake, and so on. Also the Japanese one is usually marinated longer with seasonings for hours.
I recommend a restaurant chain KARAYAMA からやま specializes in Karaage (deep fried chicken).
