In Japan, there is a popular dish called "karaage," which consists of chicken coated in batter and deep-fried. However, in Hokkaido, this dish is known as "zangi" and is considered a beloved soul food among Hokkaido residents.
You could say it's like Hokkaido-style fried chicken. However, regular fried chicken doesn’t pair well with white rice, which is a staple food for Japanese people. But Zangi is a perfect match for rice—you can keep eating as much as you want!
Zangi is not exactly the same as regular karaage. One key difference is that zangi is marinated in a mixture of soy sauce and ginger before frying, giving it a richer and more intense flavor.
This restaurant is the most famous place in Sapporo for zangi. The restaurant itself has the atmosphere of an old-fashioned Japanese eatery, which may be an interesting experience for foreign visitors.
This restaurant has "Chinese Cuisine" in its name, but its dishes are quite different from authentic Chinese cuisine. It represents what is considered "Chinese cuisine" in Japan, so don't be mistaken. 😆
