Karaage-ya Oshu Iwai Akihabara Main Store

Absolutely delicious. They came second in the competition for a reason. Highly recommend the garlic chicken bento box. Yum!

Ordered takeout. The chicken was NEARLY perfect but with one downside: lack of salt I don't know if they simply forgot to add salt or if they added too little but I literally had to go back out to 7-eleven and buy a can of salt to sprinkle. Otherwise the fried chicken could have been perfect. The crispy texture, the perfect amount of meat to batter ratio, the moist level, all perfect. Just wish they added salt.

Tasty karaage to be found here. Positives + I often return here, I recommend taking the soy sauce marinated or yuzu (sour) versions. They have alot of flavor and are juicy. It's cheap You can also buy a bento set with rice and some sides. Negatives - Not much place to seat, it's more like a booth. Some days the karaage is better some days worse. P.s At 11am they sell some bento for half price. (I suppose from yesterday's leftovers or something)

This was one of my favorite meals in Japan, we stumbled on it by accident, and thank the gods for that! It’s sooo good, and the guys that work there are so sweet!

Dropped by yesterday for a last-minute lunch - I couldn't leave not trying the best karaage in Japan! It is about a 10-minute flat walk from Akhiabara station. There are two small benches you can eat at. Otherwise, there is a nice park around the corner (you walk past it when walking from the station) that you could sit in to eat. The hostess speaks english and there are english menus. There was no one else there when we went at about 12.30pm on a Thursday. Very reasonably priced, I think we paid ¥1800 for 4 types! We ordered original, salt garlic and yuzu. They were all so good! I agree with other reviewers that the breast is superior to thigh. I couldn't get over how juicy the chicken was! The Yuzu was interesting and delicious, i haven't tried that flavour profile before and was pleasantly surprised. It would have been extra good with a squeeze of lemon and some kewpie. The garlic was the other big standout for me. I'm glad I made the trip to try this! Very, very good.

Recommend by my cousin 😉 Is really Good! Best Karaage Chicken even I tried! Also have different taste Karaage Chicken, I tried the Yuzu one, really Yummy. Guys if got come Akihabara, must come and try this Karaage Chicken. Strongly recommend!

Great little hole in the wall for takeaway karaage chicken. Staff were really friendly, particularly for me as an English speaker with only a few words of Japanese. Trying not to eat while walking to the train was very difficult with the amazing smell, and when I finally got to eat them, all the types I tried were excellent.

The guy running the shop was super nice. Immediately noticed we were having trouble with the menu and offered us an English one to look over. He was very patient as we looked everything over and even after taking our order we suddenly added something else and he was accommodating without issue. We had the garlic and the spicy karaage, each was 500 for 5 pieces and it was the freshest, juiciest, tastiest karaage I've ever had to date. It was so hot that it almost burned my mouth with all the juices running out on the first bite. Both were so good and it's a quick stop for anyone that's heard about Japan's fried chicken and wants a great first impression.
