A long-standing Nishinomiya restaurant famous for its fried chicken wings
We went to “新香園”!
A magazine article at the restaurant said it had been in business for 42 years, but the interview date was unclear ^^;
Hours are only Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 17:00 to 20:00!
That means this is a place where you can order for only about 9 hours a week ヽ(^。^)ノ
What we ordered at “新香園”
The most popular item: “Fried Chicken Wings” ¥400 (tax included)
Two of us ordered four servings～ヽ(^o^)丿
And of course, fried chicken calls for beer～
Draft beer ¥500 (tax included), non-alcoholic beer ¥400 (tax included)
At “新香園,” the fried chicken wings come with the restaurant’s special sauce, and you can add garlic to your liking ヽ(^o^)丿
This flavor is seriously addictive! Apparently it’s delicious even without garlic
The wings aren’t greasy, so you feel like you could keep eating them forever.
They’re fried in a way you just can’t recreate at home, and they’re so good～ Niko-chan was happily gulping down beer here !(^^)!
I want to pour a ton of sauce into a deep dish, let it soak in with a sizzle, and eat it like that.
That’s what she said ヽ(^。^)ノ I totally agree!!
And since Niko-chan had just been writing an article about gyoza at 餃子の王将, and I’d been watching her, we ordered this without hesitation:
“Gyoza” 1 serving ¥400 (tax included)
It has a light, vegetable-heavy feel that’s close to homemade gyoza, and it’s totally my kind of taste～(*^^)v
And what I really wanted to try was this, filled right to the brim of a ramen bowl:
“Ojiya” ¥700 (tax included)
Such a nostalgic flavor～ There’s no way one person could finish this much! We’ll share it !(^^)!
On its own, it has a gentle flavor! If you want more punch, add the fried chicken sauce and garlic !(^^)!
It’s packed with shrimp, pork, Chinese cabbage, and garlic chives, so it feels healthy and helps ease the guilt from eating all that fried chicken earlier.
“新香園” Menu
Akai-san, Mizuno-san, and Kanemura-san have also visited!
And Ishizuka-san, Hachimitsu-san, and others are pictured together with the owner too.
There were other items on the wall menu too, like mango pudding!

Finally
I’d been going to eat here even before it moved to this current location ヽ(^o^)丿
The current owner has carried on the same flavor from the old days.
The reason it’s only open on weekends is that the owner is also a pharmacist Isn’t that kind of amazing!!! And,
they run the restaurant while juggling both jobs !(^^)!
Also, since one person handles the cooking, please be understanding if the food takes a little while to come out when it’s busy.
