"When you come to KFC, what else would you eat if not the Karaage Special Mix!?" I was at Sapporo Station, wondering where to go, and then I remembered there was a place next to Kanro that had grilled skewers. But, oh no, it's closed? Oh well, I thought to myself, and then it hit me - Karaage! Without a second thought, I arrived at Coco, the first time at the North Exit store. Despite being alone, they seated me at a table... no counter seats? As long as I can have Karaage, I don't need anything else. I found an interesting item to try first - Plum Wine to start off with, and the appetizer was grated long yam with plum, not miso as I thought. Sour! I ordered the Karaage Special Mix, and was told, "There are 15 pieces, is that okay?!" I had it before at the Susukino store and it was delicious, so I went ahead with the order. The Karaage Special Mix arrived quickly, looking fantastic. The special Karaage sauce that came with it was also delicious, poured generously over the Karaage. The crispy, juicy Karaage was already great on its own, but this sauce really adds to the flavor. I had no problem finishing the 15 pieces. Next, I tried the Mochi Mochi Cheese Pon de Takoyaki - a cute and interesting item. It had a donut-like texture with cheese, bonito flakes, sauce, and mayo inside. It tasted like Takoyaki, but with a slightly sweet taste and a donut-like feel. I couldn't resist adding some of the Karaage sauce, which made it even more delicious. I enjoyed my time listening to 80s J-POP songs (MAX, Robinson, Dragon Ash, Seiko Matsuda, etc.) and before I knew it, I had finished the Karaage as well. The atmosphere was lively with group gatherings and welcome parties, but I was able to enjoy my time alone in the semi-private space (with curtains). It was a satisfying experience, especially with a plum wine in hand, feeling a bit tipsy and content. Oh, I ended up writing a review like Keipapa-san ← I was writing this while drinking. The man sitting next to me was drinking 6-7 beers per hour and eating a lot, he must have a strong stomach!"
