The fried chicken thigh was delicious. I ordered it with salt and original seasoning. It is made to order, so you can enjoy freshly fried chicken. Having a waiting area is quite nice. I also thought it would be better if the bag for the fried chicken had a little more thickness.

Among the recent proliferation of specialty fried chicken shops, this is the only one I keep coming back to. It is head and shoulders above the rest in terms of deliciousness, maintaining its tenderness even when cold, and the lingering flavor is excellent. It's strange how there is absolutely no hint of chicken smell, it's just that delicious. I ordered the original and soy sauce flavors, 100g each, and they both had a satisfying amount. I will definitely be ordering again.

Located about a 7-minute walk from Sugamo Station South Exit on the JR Yamanote Line, is a fried chicken restaurant called "Yoshigo Sugamo Store." It is a specialty shop for fried chicken that opened in Sugamo in August 2020. As I love fried chicken, I decided to pay a visit! They offer takeout only, with options for bento boxes or just fried chicken. The fried chicken is based on the famous fried chicken from Nakatsu in Oita Prefecture, and you can enjoy various parts of the chicken. This time, I ordered the Yoshigo Deluxe Bento, which comes with a choice of 3 pieces of fried chicken and chicken wings. The fried chicken was cooked nicely and not greasy, so I could eat as much as I wanted without feeling heavy. They also pay attention to the rice they serve, using Hinohikari rice from Nakatsu, which they serve piping hot. Next time, I want to try ordering different parts of the fried chicken.

In August, I visited Sugamo in Tokyo to check out a new restaurant that had a long line. I decided to come back another time because of the crowd. The restaurant is called Yoshigo Sugamo, located about a 10-minute walk from JR Sugamo Station. Even though it was not as crowded during my visit in the late afternoon, there were still about 6 groups of people waiting for their orders. Yoshigo is a franchise of the popular "Nakatsu Karaage" from Oita, and this particular branch seems to be affiliated with the Komagome branch. I ordered the Yoshigo Set for 650 yen, which includes three types of karaage (original, soy sauce, salt) along with gizzards and cartilage. The karaage was freshly fried and still warm when I got home. The soy sauce karaage had a delicious flavor without the use of garlic or ginger. The salt karaage was light and simple in taste. The original karaage had a unique round shape and a rich flavor from marinating with garlic. The gizzards and cartilage were also tasty and had a good texture. Overall, I was satisfied with the Yoshigo Set. In the Sugamo area, there is also a popular chain called "Karakoshi" by Skylark, but I found Yoshigo to be better in terms of taste and quality. I will keep an eye on their developments.

I made a reservation for Friday lunch and will pick it up after work. Still hot and freshly fried, this is the perfect way to end the work week on Friday. The deliciousness is guaranteed, and this place is the best in the neighborhood.

This is a specialty shop for Nakatsu-style fried chicken. They offer fried chicken, chicken skin tempura, and sand liver skewers, all of which are delicious. The fried chicken has a soy sauce garlic flavor, slightly strong in Nakatsu style. The outside is crispy, while the inside is juicy. The chicken skin tempura is very crispy. The sand liver skewers have no unpleasant smell and are tender and delicious.

I ordered the fried chicken bento for 637 yen and waited about 5 minutes for it to be cooked after ordering. However, the bento was still warm. You can get a large portion of rice for an additional 50 yen, but the regular portion is already sufficient.
