Legendary 70 Year Secret Recipe Japanese Fried Chicken!

I recently went to Tenkatori Sawtelle, a renowned restaurant known for their delicious chicken kaarage. This establishment has been guarding their secret marinade recipe for nearly 70 years, and I was eager to see what all the hype was about.

Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by a friendly and patient staff who were more than happy to assist me in choosing the perfect dishes to try. The atmosphere was inviting and comfortable, making it the ideal place to enjoy a casual meal with friends or family.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the chicken kaarage. I must say, it lived up to its reputation as being the best in town according to Yelp. The portion size was generous, and the chicken was perfectly cooked. The exterior had a delightful crispiness, while the interior remained moist and juicy. It was evident that great care was taken in preparing this dish, and it truly paid off.

In addition to the kaarage, I also had to try the popcorn chicken, which was made from tender breast meat. While it wasn't as tender as the kaarage, it was still of high quality and packed with flavor. The menu also offered fried gizzards, a new experience for me. Although I was initially hesitant, I decided to give it a try.

To accompany my meal, I sampled various sauces. While they were all good, I must admit that I have a personal preference for Kikkoman soy sauce. However, the sauces were still enjoyable and added an extra layer of flavor to the already delicious dishes.

Overall, my experience was exceptional. The combination of friendly service, delicious food, and cozy atmosphere made for a memorable dining experience. If you're a fan of chicken kaarage or simply looking to try something new, I highly recommend visiting!
