Buy this one too! Chicken Nanban with Sweet & Sour Sauce

 Since its launch, "Chicken Nanban no Amazu" has been well received. The sweet vinegar handmade for Chicken Nanban to be served at restaurants was so well received that it was commercialized. Chicken Nanban originally originated as a makan dish at "Naochan" in Nobeoka. Chicken Nanban originated as a dish served at Nobeoka's "Naochan" restaurant, where the chicken was dipped in beaten egg, deep-fried, and marinated in sweetened vinegar. The originality of this dish lies in the taste of the sweet vinegar marinade, not the tartar sauce. Therefore, this product is also an ama-suzu for authentic recipes. The fresh and refreshing acidity of this product, made with garlic and lemon, can also be applied to nanbanzuke white fish and salad dressings. It is not restricted to use exclusively for chicken nanban, but can be used freely at home. 540 yen (tax included).
