Do you like fried chicken?
In Japan, when you think of chicken, you think of KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), but in Korea, there are many chicken brands that are more famous than KFC, and many Koreans love chicken. It is no exaggeration to say that chicken is a national dish. You often see scenes of eating chicken in Korean dramas.
Korea's representative chicken brand "Nene Chicken" has landed in Nagoya for the first time! A popular fried chicken chain store with over 1,200 stores in South Korea. It is always ranked high in the ranking of delicious chicken restaurants in Korea, and has gained tremendous support from the public.
By the way, Nene means "yes, yes". Translated into Japanese, it's "Yes! Yes! Chicken".
This time, I will introduce the charm of such Nene chicken.
Delicious cold chicken
The characteristic of Nene chicken is that it is not only hot, but it is delicious even when it is cold. They use fresh, domestically-produced chicken, and carefully prepare the chicken by hand.
In addition to the standard chicken with bones and boneless chicken, you can also enjoy Korean dishes such as cheese balls, cheese sticks, jeonno kimbap, and bibim dumplings.
What about access?
Nene Chicken is located about a 4-minute walk from Nagoya Municipal Subway Sakuradori Line "Nakamura Kuyakusho Ekimae". There is also a coin parking nearby, so it is relatively easy to go by car.
When you enter the store, you can see neon lights written in Korean and K-POP playing on the TV. I feel like I came to Korea all at once.
It is said that Nene chicken was the first to adopt this to-go box. In Korea at that time, it was mainstream to provide it in a bag, so with the advent of Nene chicken, others followed at once.
There are 7 types of chicken recommended by the shop!
There are 7 types of chicken in total, including fried chicken, sweet and spicy, and crispy yangnyeom chicken, and you can choose boneless or with bone.
This time, I chose half & half chicken with bones, which allows you to enjoy two different flavors.
The most popular flavors are “Yangnyeom Chicken” and “Snow Wing Chicken” with plenty of grated cheese.
The portion was for two people, but it was so large that I was worried about whether two people could eat it. The side dishes included tteokbokki, salad, and chicken-mu (daikon radish pickle).
This is "chicken-mu". Direct translation is chicken radish. It is an indispensable partner for chicken. If you order chicken in Korea, it always comes with it.
At first glance, they don't look like big deal, but they are. For dry chicken, it replenishes moisture. For spicy chicken, the sweet vinegar helps to soften the spiciness.
It's an exquisite harmony when you eat alternately. Please try it!
And here is "Yangnyeom Chicken". A classic Korean chicken seasoned with a salty-sweet sauce made from gochujang, garlic, sugar, and other spices.
This is "Snow Wing Chicken" with powder cheese. The classic fried chicken with sweet and rich cheese is irresistible.
Both chickens are crispy and moist and juicy inside. You can stretch out your hand and enjoy it.
Enjoy the side menu!
Tteokbokki
The side menu other than chicken is also very abundant.
Tteokbokki is a sweet and salty dish made by boiling the Korean rice cake tteok with gochujang and sugar. The sweet and salty seasoning is irresistible.
kimchi dumplings
"Kimchi dumplings" are slightly spicy with kimchi. In Korea, dumplings are called mandu. There are also pan-fried dumplings, but steamed dumplings are the mainstream in Korea.
There are also many other classic Korean dishes such as kimbap and bibimbap, so please enjoy them with your friends.
This time, I introduced “Nene Chicken”, a fried chicken brand that represents Korea. Korean chicken brands are also landing in Japan one after another, and the day may soon come when chicken becomes a familiar part of our lives.
Please enjoy the crispy, juicy chicken that is full of volume.
