What is Karaage?

唐揚げ からあげ / karaage

Bite-sized pieces of chicken marinated in soy sauce, ginger and garlic, coated in starch and deep-fried until crisp. It is juicier and more heavily seasoned than most fried chicken.

How to order and eat it

Order one plate for the table and squeeze the lemon wedge over it if you like. It goes with beer and highballs.

Dietary notes

Contains chicken, wheat (soy sauce and coating) and often alcohol in the marinade. Fried in oil that may be shared with other foods.

This is a general description, and recipes vary by shop. If you have an allergy or follow a diet, ask the staff before you order.
