Chicken Karaage is one of the most well-loved food in Japan regardless of age and gender, and this is a food we can be so passionate about.  This can be proved by the fact that we have a chicken karaage exclusive event, called Chicken Karaage Grand Prix.

According to an article, the 3^rd Chicken Karaage GP was held last April to decide the best karaage in Japan, and 134 shops were nominated, and total of 36k votes were given to all karaage, which showed that the 3^rd GP was more popular than the 2^nd GP!

As there are a variety of flavours, all nice karaage were divided into each section by frying methods, flavour etc.

So, here is some of those won the first place in each section!

Oh, I like both, but I particularly like the look of the first one as they looks so nice and crispy…!! (><)

Also, from the 3^rd GP last year, new section, called “new ingredients section” was created, and soy meat karaage was chosen as the best in this section.  It is good to know that now vegetarian people can also enjoy karaage!
