Naruto Chicken, Otaru

Previously:
Things To Do In Otaru

I heard so much about this fried chicken store in Otaru.  Many of customers mentioned that they need to wait on a long queue.  But in that evening, though the store still packed with heaps of customers but there wasn't any queue.  Lucky us...

Half chicken set 1,200¥, half chicken only 980¥

At first we ordered: half chicken set for myself, sushi and karaage set for my hubby, then extra karaage dish for my son.  I was so over possessive with my chicken and said to my husband that "I will finish it all by myself so if he wants to try some classic house deep fried chicken he better order for himself another piece" because I believed definitely it will not be enough.  So he went to ordered another just half cut of chicken.

When the dishes came in front of us.  I couldn't believe my eyes of how big the chicken was.  Of course at the end we couldn't finish them.  But we did take them home with us for our breakfast tomorrow.  We terribly terribly full after dinner but it was delicious though.

Look at how plump and fat the chicken is-so mouth watering

The chicken's golden-skin was flavorsome and crisp.  And you know it, when they use the good oil.  The meat was juicy and tender.  The first bite was great but after a few more bites, I kinda felt like it needed something maybe chili sauce or ended up we asked for mayonnaise.  Yes, chicken and mayo, they were good together especially if there is some sweet chili as well.  It would be even perfect.

Sushi and karaage set 2,200¥ served with Japanese potato salad and karaage side dish 700¥

Otaru beer 500¥

Then we had a nice walk around the most photographic side of the canal.  We couldn't get the nice shoot in the afternoon as so many tourists are also taking pictures.  Photo below is the canal very early in the morning.  We beat the crowd.  So which one is better guys, morning view or night view?
