A New Seasonal Delight: Introducing Ume Karaage at Karaage En

In a delightful announcement for fried chicken enthusiasts, Ever Action Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Arkland Service Holdings, will launch a limited-time offering of Ume Karaage at Karaage En on April 18, 2025. This innovative dish is set to capture the essence of spring with its invigorating flavor.

A Refreshing Take on Fried Chicken

Last spring, Ume Karaage made its debut and received remarkable acclaim, prompting its return. The new Ume Karaage is not just any fried chicken; it boasts a unique ume (plum) flavor profile that differs significantly from traditional umeboshi's tartness. The dish features tender chicken thighs marinated in a special ume sauce and ume flesh, then perfectly fried to achieve a satisfying crunch while prominently highlighting the refreshing ume taste.

Karaage En's menu will include Ume Karaage available as a single item or in two delightful bento options. As a takeaway specialist, Karaage En aims to continually surprise customers with unique interpretations of the beloved national dish of Japan—fried chicken.

Menu Details

Here’s a look at the offerings associated with Ume Karaage:

- Ume Karaage (100g): 280 yen (tax included: 302 yen)
