If you are like me you love your meaty [balls] snacks (well unless you’re a vegan). [If they were vegan, they wouldn't be like you now would they?]. However, if you live in Japan you will know that: 1. KFC sucks ass, not just their chicken and chips but also their nuggets. Seriously WTF is with the tomato sauce? Nuggets need BBQ sauce [I agree with WTF tomato sauce, but I'm a mustard man myself].
The good thing is that Japan is full of fried chicken goodness, something that would make Isacc Hayes smile I’m sure. The man loved his chicken. [Are you trying to say black people like friend chicken? Because I sho' do.]
A Great [so great it requires capitalization] little chicken snack that you can find at any Lawson convenience store is Kara’age Kun (唐揚げくん). It comes in Regular, Cheese, Red (Chili), and sometimes special flavors such as BBQ and citrus pepper. Awesome flavor, nice and juicy and probably full of that good MSG. Of course you also have to love the cool presentation and the package. Cute and delicious. [The man's not lying. Them suckers are delish!]

Have your say.
When you have chicken katsu and yakitori, why go to KFC? It is the land of the wonderful food stand after all! Seriously, when in Japan that’s what I like, hole-in-the-wall shops, stands, and carts, not so much eating out in the restaurants.
Hey man, cheers on the new site!
