Akakara is a nationwide izakaya chain famous for its hot pot where you can choose the spice level, and there’s also a location in Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi.
“Akakara Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi” is celebrating its 5th anniversary this year, and as part of the anniversary festival, their popular fried chicken is apparently just 55 yen per serving.
That’s definitely something worth checking out.
So for this izakaya feature, we visited “Akakara Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi.”
目次
Challenge Start!
The beer is usually “Asahi Super Dry (medium mug)” (580 yen), but since it’s the 5th anniversary festival, it’s being served in a large mug.
So once again, I’ll be going with beer this time.
First up is the “otoshi” appetizer (420 yen), and this otoshi is seriously delicious.
It’s the restaurant’s specialty, “seseri” chicken neck meat.
This alone was enough to finish one beer.
Already on my second beer.
This is their famous “Bakudan Torikara” fried chicken.
Normally, one serving (2 pieces) is 330 yen, but for the 5th anniversary festival, it’s just 55 yen.
No matter how many servings you order, each one is 55 yen.
It’s a little hard to tell from the photo, but this time I ordered 2 servings (4 pieces).
Even that was only 110 yen.
Third beer.
Since these were large mugs, I was able to drink quite a bit.
I’m thinking it’s about time to order something to finish things off…
This is another Akakara specialty, “Imo Musume” (420 yen).
It’s a creative dessert with vanilla ice cream on top of warm sweet potato.
You can enjoy the curious harmony of warm sweet potato and cold ice cream.
Now then, how much did this meal come to?
Here’s the reveal!
The total was!!
2,948 yen!!!
That’s what it came to!
Since it was the 5th anniversary festival, it was a really good deal.
The 5th anniversary festival runs until April 15, so why not take this chance to stop by?
This time I ordered: otoshi appetizer, Asahi Super Dry (large mug) ×3, Bakudan Torikara ×2, and Imo Musume.
