Welcome to Japan, fellow travelers!
If you’re a food enthusiast looking to indulge in authentic Japanese cuisine, you’re in for a treat.
Today, we’re diving into the world of “Tebasaki” or Japanese Chicken Wings.
Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with this mouthwatering delight.
What is Tebasaki?
Tebasaki, simply put, are Japanese-style chicken wings.
But don’t be fooled by their humble appearance; these wings are packed with flavor!
They are typically deep-fried to crispy perfection, leaving the skin crunchy and the meat tender.
The magic lies in the sweet and savory glaze that coats the wings.
It’s a combination of soy sauce, sake, mirin, and a touch of sugar.
This results in a delightful umami taste that’s uniquely Japanese.
The flavor can vary slightly from place to place, with some restaurants offering spicier versions for those who love a kick of heat.
Whether you prefer mild or spicy, Tebasaki is sure to satisfy your cravings for a delicious, savory treat.
Where to Find Tebasaki
You might be wondering where you can savor this delectable Japanese dish.
The good news is that Tebasaki is widely available throughout Japan, and you’re likely to encounter it in izakayas (Japanese pubs), yakitori joints, and even some specialized Tebasaki restaurants.
If you’re exploring the vibrant city of Nagoya, be sure to try the local specialty, Nagoya-style Tebasaki, known for its rich, thick sauce and unique flavor.
In Tokyo, you’ll find it in many izakayas and restaurants that offer a variety of yakitori dishes.
However, don’t limit yourself to specific locations; Tebasaki is so popular that you can find it on menus in cities and towns across Japan.
Just keep an eye out for the word “手羽先” (Tebasaki) on the menu, and you’re in for a delightful culinary experience.
I bought Tebasaki in Kintetsu Nagoya station.

Nagoya people have a unique way of eating chicken wings.
