Did you know that the Tulip-style fried chicken we simply call ‘Tulip’ in Japan is called ‘chicken lollipop’ abroad because it looks like a candy?
If you like nostalgic tulip-shaped fried chicken, you definitely need to visit this shop (You can eat that style of fried chicken at Hotei-chan, too, though).
Toritsubaki is a chain restaurant, but fortunately, this Asakusa Kaminarimon branch is completely non-smoking inside. However, since people do smoke on the street outside, it is best to sit as far back in the shop as possible.
This place is really inexpensive. I think it’s as cheap as any other restaurant around—everything from food to drinks!
