What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A long-beloved local diner in Kitakami City specializing in Kitakami broiler fried chicken. Kitakami City is known as a 'city of karaage (fried chicken)', and the signature dish is juicy fried chicken using locally-raised broilers. The chicken is marinated in a soy-based sauce then deep-fried at high temperature, creating a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. One of the first places locals mention when asked about karaage, with queues at lunchtime.

Reviews say: 'When visiting Kitakami, I always have the karaage here', 'Amazing volume for this price', 'The local flavor I've been eating since childhood'. The crispy-outside, fluffy-inside karaage has an unshakeable local reputation.
