Chicken Nanban (Originating from Nobeoka)

A juicy dish where freshly fried chicken is dipped in sweet vinegar. While Chicken Nanban has now become popular nationwide, its birthplace is here in Nobeoka City, Miyazaki Prefecture. Its roots lie in the staff meal (makanai) of a Western-style restaurant called "London" that once existed in Nobeoka. The prototype is said to be a staff meal where battered and fried chicken was briefly soaked in sweet vinegar. Eventually, it branched into the "Ogura" style, which adds tartar sauce, and the "Naokchan" style, which finishes with only sweet vinegar. In Nobeoka, the style using only sweet vinegar without tartar remains deeply loved. The sweet and sour sauce paired with a crispy coating. A piece enjoyed in its birthplace is truly exceptional.
