About this place
Diners who have tried both the savoury-salt and savoury-soy-sauce karaage mention the crunchy coating, tender chicken infused with flavour, and pieces that are more substantial than expected. At Karataka, a good place to start is by comparing the two flavours. You can order them individually as a side, or choose either in a bento with 3 pieces for a more substantial meal.
People who have bought the savoury-salt karaage several times also describe a coating that isn’t too thick and juicy chicken that goes well with rice or a drink. The well-seasoned chicken can be paired with a sauce, including a plum-flavoured option, for a change of pace. Choices include Japanese-style grated daikon with ponzu and yuzu pepper, Korean-style yangnyeom, and Western-style honey mustard. Pick a favourite to bring a different flavour to your karaage.
The menu also includes fried chicken wings and gizzards, yakitori and other skewers. Some diners have bought fried foods and skewers as well as karaage, making it easy to put together a selection to suit different tastes at home. There’s no dine-in service; takeaway and delivery are available. At the Yukigaya main store, choose a bento for a full meal, or combine individual items and sauces to serve at home.
