New Seasonal Dish: Salt Chanko Set with Ginger Fried Chicken at Karayama

A Blend of Flavors: Salt Chanko Set with Ginger Fried Chicken

As winter embraces us in 2026, the renowned fried chicken restaurant Karayama is set to unveil a delightful seasonal treat: the "Salt Chanko Set featuring Ginger Fried Chicken". Launching on January 23, 2026, this limited-time only menu promises to keep your warmth intact while tantalizing your taste buds.

Karayama, a subsidiary of Arcland Service Holdings and known for its crispy fried chicken offerings, takes a traditional winter dish and gives it a flavorful twist. The standout feature of this meal is the expertly fried ginger chicken, which exudes a delightful aroma and a burst of flavor. It’s plated alongside a hearty pot of salt chanko, brimming with fresh ingredients like cabbage, mushrooms, kamaboko (fish cake), and deep-fried tofu, all served sizzling in a hot iron pot.

Each component is designed to create a satisfying experience. The hot ginger chicken absorbs the savory essence of the broth, infusing the diverse vegetables with flavor. When enjoyed with steaming white rice, this dish transforms the quintessential chanko into a comforting fried chicken set that is filling and uplifting during the chilly season.

For those keen to savor a variety of flavors, Karayama also offers the "Ginger Chicken Combo Set", featuring the beloved "Crispy Thigh" fried chicken alongside the ginger variant.

A Legacy of Fried Chicken

Since its inception in May 2010, Karayama has become synonymous with quality chicken dishes, launched under the umbrella of the legendary fried chicken brand, "Karaage En-YUKARI". The establishment was created to delight diners with perfectly fried chicken that showcases the natural umami of the meat, prepared with a secret marinating sauce that few are privy to.

In collaboration with the tonkatsu specialist "Katsuya", Karayama opened its first branch in December 2014. Building on its success, Karayama is constantly innovating, set to welcome a new dish to its lineup by July 2024: a ginger pork set grilled on a high-temperature iron plate coated with a rich ginger sauce. As it grows, Karayama pledges to maintain customer satisfaction through remarkable products and service.
