Stories and comments from “What’s your favorite karaage shop in Nishinomiya?”
Nishinomiya Gardens branch
Various “karaage” dishes from “New Munchen” (Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens 1F) [Nishitsu Gourmet] | Nishinomiya Tsushin
Bone-in fried chicken has that rich marrow flavor seeping out around the bone. That’s what makes it taste different from boneless karaage.

Osho Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi branch
I haven’t really found any delicious karaage from takeout shops in Nishinomiya. I do like Osho’s karaage.

Shuka
It has a crispy texture and isn’t very juicy. It’s a bento shop at lunch and an izakaya at night.

Sakebi Tori Katsuragi
We tried “lava-grilled” dishes, “chicken sashimi,” and more at “Katsuragi” near Hanshin Nishinomiya Station [Nishitsu Gourmet] | Nishinomiya Tsushin
They also have fried chicken thigh, which is delicious, but my top recommendation is the “Addictive Sauce Fried Chicken Wingettes.” The fried wingettes are topped with Katsuragi’s own secret sauce and spices, and as the name says, they really are addictive. It’s a dish loved by many people in baseball and by celebrities too. This year marks the restaurant’s 10th anniversary, and it has been a popular menu item since they first opened.

New Munchen
Those chicken legs are just too good!
Male in his 30s (lives elsewhere, outside the city/prefecture)
Maruhachi
It goes well with a ginger-flavored lemon chuhai.

Nishinomiya Hankyu Torizukushi
It’s delicious even when cold, and it doesn’t sit heavy in your stomach.

Jugemu
Koshien Hero-age in front of Furuno Electric and Komugi-an’s Kuroge Wagyu dog [Nishikon Gourmet] | Nishinomiya Tsushin
When it comes to karaage, it has to be Jugemu’s Hero-age! It’s fun that they have all kinds of flavors, and every one of them is delicious. I could eat them endlessly♪
