Welcome to Japan, fellow travelers!
Today, I want to introduce you to a beloved Japanese snack that you must try during your visit: “Karaage-kun.”
This mouthwatering treat is a must-try for anyone who loves flavorful fried chicken!
What is “Karaage-kun”?
“Karaage-kun” is a popular Japanese snack that consists of bite-sized, boneless pieces of marinated chicken, coated in a special blend of seasonings and flour, then deep-fried to perfection.
The result is tender, juicy, and incredibly crispy fried chicken that will leave you wanting more!
There are roughly five pieces of fried chicken in a palm-sized paper package.
The package comes with a toothpick so you can eat them without getting your hands dirty.
It is a great snack when you are hungry because you can easily eat juicy fried bean curd.
Where to Find “Karaage-kun”
Karaage-kun” can be found at convenience stores ”Lawson” stores throughout Japan.
Karaage-kun is a Lawson original product, so it cannot be found anywhere else but Lawson.
