(Moved) Tsukiji Market: Hidden Delight at Odayasu (小田保) – Chicken Nanban

Tokyo

Odayasu (小田保) typically serves chicken nanban from April to September. Unfortunately, I forgot to try it this year, and before I knew it, October had arrived. I was truly disappointed to have missed it again. However, a friend of mine who is a regular at Odayasu mentioned that they had made extra nanban sauce and might still accept orders for chicken nanban. Encouraged by this, I decided to visit!

When I asked the staff about the chicken nanban, they confirmed that I could still order it. Overjoyed, I placed my order. And here it is—my much-anticipated chicken nanban ! Without me saying a word, the waiter served it with a smaller portion of rice, which turned out to be a perfect choice.

The chicken was enormous! There were about five large pieces on the plate. Hidden behind the chicken was shredded cabbage, along with a side of potato salad. Chicken nanban, as you might already know, is deep-fried chicken similar to karaage, topped with a sweet, vinegary nanban sauce and creamy tartar sauce.

I placed a smaller piece of chicken on top of my rice. Although it was the smallest piece, it was still substantial! While the dish was absolutely delicious, the portion size was too much for me. I managed to finish all the chicken, but I couldn’t eat all the shredded cabbage.
