Another one of my personal favorite is the way Japan cook and prepare their chicken, the famous KARAGE!Although KFC is a popular favorite in Japan during the holidays, the Japanese have their own style of frying chicken, they call this style, "Karage."While studying health and sciences in Japan, assigned to Hokkaido, I always enjoyed dinners with their Karage Chicken. It's not too salty like other chicken cooked street foods or chain restaurants in the U.S. like KFC, Popeyes, Chick Filet etc..I like the consistency and Japanese culinary flour and condiments that wrap the chicken, it does considerably change the aroma taste of the meat.They also come with a special sauce that seems to embrace the Japanese culinary masterpiece, it makes you feel like, you want more, once you hit your first bite.You don't much Karage, so if you want to taste the Japanese style of friend chicken, to to Tokyo Central and grab a Karage!

One of my favorite places, when I have a craving for Karaagi or fried chicken in general this place definitely hits the spot. My go to is just the regular Karaagi chicken, they always make it fresh and it's steaming hot (careful not to burn yourself) nice crunch on the crust, the dark meat is nice and seasoned, so tender juicy and delicious, definitely a comfort food and it hits the spot. Usually get the 12 piece, more than enough to feed two people. Unfortunately that pretty much the only thing I've tried here, don't need anything else when when I've already found the crown jewel here It's located in a little food court in Tokyo central, So the service and ambiance is what it is, standard food court fair but seating is extremely limited. Parking look gets a little nuts sometimes too.

Tenkatori is a standout spot for Japanese fried chicken, conveniently located in the food court at Tokyo Central grocery market. Parking is plentiful, and it's easy to find--just head right after entering the store.I recommend getting the boneless chicken thigh. The 8-piece portion, priced at $11.50, is a fantastic deal considering the quality and size. Each piece is super crispy, tender, and packed with flavor. The portions are generous, and I didn't even feel the need for additional sauces (which are available for an extra cost).For a complete meal, I paired the karaage with onigiris from Tokyo Central. The food court also provides a water dispenser and microwave for customer convenience.Tenkatori offers some of the best karaage I've ever had--perfectly cooked and satisfying. If you're a fan of Japanese fried chicken, this is a must-try!

This is located in the food court in Tokyo Central. Dining gets packed after noon, so if you don't want to be scavenging for seating come a but earlier on weekend. Ramen was delicious! I wanna come back to try all the flavors. The fried chicken was AMAZING I only got 2 pieces from the combo. Next time imma buy a whole box. Tables are clean, it's pretty crowded on weekend. Will definitely come back !

As if I didn't leave Japan. Best fried chicken (karaage)!! It's crunchy, tender, juicy and full of flavor. I usually take it to go because we love eating it with a lot of rice. Hehe! Their sauce is like crack! It brings another level of goodness. You will drool when you smell it fresh out of the fryer. 12 minutes to be exact. This branch has ramen and I will need to try it next time. It's located inside the food court. Parking is a bit tough but if you get lucky then good for you.

My go to chicken karaage spot! It is so crispy, moist, and fresh. I love the yuzu aioli sauce to pair with it, it's honestly one of my favorite sauces all time. The price is great for the amount you get. I like to come here and grab a party pack for a group of friends to take out. I normally don't just crave chicken karaage as it's usually a side for me but this place is so good I can eat it for my entire meal.

Hands down, the best Japanese fried chicken I have ever had. Especially love the Yagen Nankotsu (cartilage), crispy and crunchy, great spice flavor, not overpowering. I also ordered the boneless thigh and popcorn chicken, both tasted very delicious, the popcorn was little of the peppery side for young kids.

Tenkatori is a karaage store inside the food court of Tokyo Central and has limited store hours so make sure you check before heading there. We got the chicken to go and it was pretty good. We got the karaage bento and the 5-piece boneless chicken thigh. The bento comes with 4 pieces and they are generously sized. The sides of the bento are pretty meh but you aren't there for sides; you're there for fried chicken. The chicken is juicy and the batter is crispy yet light. It's the closest to karaage in Japan that you'll find here. See pics.The upside to being located inside a grocery store is that you can do your grocery shopping after eating so it's like getting your errands done at the same time.

Gluten Free!!! delicious and crispy. Have not have a gluten reaction to the chicken and I have eaten here many times. Highly recommend to my GF people.
