Sekai No Yama-chan and Furaibou Chicken Wings
- Gastronomía
Nagoya’s speciality food is tebasaki (Japanese-style, deep-fried chicken wingtips). Wings are soy-and-sugar-dipped, salted, peppered then double-fried. The result is a wing that’s crispy on the outside and slightly juicy on the inside. Locals claim that the wings taste a lot better accompanied by beer. The most well-known restaurants that specialize in Nogoya’s tebasaki are Sekai No Yama-chan and Furaibou. Sekai No Yama-chan’s wings are said to be a bit spicier and they serve them with the ends intact. Sekai No Yama-chan has more than 30 locations in Nagoya alone including many in the Kanayama area. Furaibou has many shops downtown Nagoya such as in Sakae District.
Horarios: All chains open daily usually from 5 pm to midnight
