Tonchan

When placed on an iron griddle, it makes a sizzling, fragrant sound as steam from the sweet and savory miso rises. One bite reveals crunchy chicken coated in a rich, sweet and salty sauce—a deliciousness that makes you want to eat bowl after bowl of rice. While the name 'Tonchan' might make you think of pork, in Takashima City, it refers to seasoned chicken. This seasoned kashiwa coated in miso sauce was created as a way to enjoy chickens that had finished laying eggs. It is said that it received this name because its flavor is similar to beef hormone 'tonchan' in areas with large Korean populations. As Takashima's soul food, it is extremely popular both in homes and at barbecues.
