Usa Karaage
When you bite into a freshly fried piece, the coating cracks with a satisfying crunch, and hot juices burst forth. The juicy chicken, well-seasoned, makes you instinctively reach for another—this is the irresistible moment of Usa Karaage. Usa is known as the 'birthplace of karaage specialty shops.' It is said to have begun shortly after the war when a Chinese restaurant in Yokkaichi started selling karaage with the desire that 'everyone could be full for a low price.' The deliciousness gained a reputation, leading to the creation of specialty shops one after another, eventually spreading to neighboring Nakatsu. Each shop has its own secret sauce and frying method, which is unique to this sacred site. A single piece coated in savory batter pairs perfectly with both rice and beer. It is a dish that makes comparing different shops a joy.
