| What is Zangi?

Zangi: Hokkaido-style fried chicken

This dish originally started to be served in a city called Kushiro, an important port city in eastern Hokkaido.

Unlike other types of Japanese fried chicken, the original version from Kushiro comes accompanied with a Worcestershire sauce based sweet and savoury dipper. The fried chicken itself is already super good but the sauce enhances it like ten times!! You can also enjoy different cuts of chicken.
