My body is exhausted after a full day of sightseeing…
Before returning to the hotel, I decided to get something to go with my drink, and I decided to try everyone’s favorite, fried chicken.
There are many restaurants specializing in fried food scattered throughout Okinawa Prefecture.
The flavors and parts of the meat are all different, and Uchinanchu people go to the restaurant of their choice.
During lunch and dinner hours, the parking lots of each restaurant are filled with cars coming and going.
Among them, there is one store that operates in a small space.
It is “Shintang Uchima” located in Urasoe City.
Point 1: Menus are full of originality
There are four typical dishes on the “Jindang” menu: “Torimune,” “Torimomo,” “Tebichi,” and “Tebichi.
The “Torimune” is a particularly nice feature.
It seems to be especially popular among women, as all the fat and skin is removed and there is no odor at all.
And “Taebichi” is a limited quantity menu item.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it is truly a dish that should be paired with sake.
After deciding on the part, you can choose from three types of seasoning, and you can even choose all three!
I am a greedy person, so I always ask for three different seasonings.
Point 2: A carefully crafted product
The “Jindang” is deep-fried to order, so you will have to wait about 10 minutes after ordering.
There is a wide variety of seasonings and parts of the meat, so it is fun to customize your order!
As you excitedly wait outside, you can smell the delicious aroma wafting through the air…
When you receive your finished product, it is hot and fluffy.
The batter is nicely coated, and they pay attention to details such as noted on the pack which seasoning is which.
The taste is, of course, good.
Although small in size, they are well-seasoned and can be served with either sake or white rice.
Point 3: We also do free large portions and boxed lunches.
There are three types of bento at “Shinkara”.
The “Karaage Bento”, “Karaage DX Bento”, and “Chicken Nanban”.
The “Karaage DX Bento” comes with one type of fried food other than Karaage.
All of them come with a large serving of rice free of charge!
Most customers come for this bento at lunchtime.
It is best to call in advance to confirm the availability, as they may be sold out by the evening.
