Marufuku Shokudo
A venerable Taketa diner with 50 years of karaage expertise. Their whole-thigh fried chicken is what locals mean when they say 'the local specialty of Taketa.' Won the OBS Food Stadium Grand Prix. Famed for crispy batter and juicy meat that keeps customers coming back. Takeout available. 5 min walk from JR Bungotaketa Station.
Highly rated on TripAdvisor in Taketa. Multiple review sites confirm 'Taketa means Marufuku karaage.' A 50+ year institution that locals are proud of. All three specialties karaage, tori-ten, and chicken nanban receive high marks. Popular for takeout, beloved as the town's soul food.
