Karaage

Karaage might just be the most universally beloved fried food in Japan. Chicken thighs marinated in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, fried until the outside is crackling and the inside stays juicy. A squeeze of lemon is the classic move, but do whatever you want. Karaage specialty shops are everywhere now — perfect for snacking as you walk.

日本人が一番好きな揚げ物といえば、断トツでこれ！お醤油やニンニクで下味をつけた鶏肉をカリッと揚げた、ジューシーな和風フライドチキンだよ。レモンを絞るのが基本なんて言われるけど、絞るかどうかはお好みで！最近はあちこちに唐揚げ専門店があるから、揚げたてを食べ歩きしてみるのも楽しいよね。
