Mocchinchi

At Mocchinchi, the karaage stands out first: reviewers have remarked on its size and generous portion, as well as its juiciness and satisfying bite. It is available in portions of one, three or five pieces, so you can try one to start or order enough to share. A separate jumbo karaage is also listed and can be ordered by the piece. Some diners have enjoyed spring rolls, fried cartilage and chips alongside it, making it easy to build a dinner around karaage and a few other fried dishes.

There is more than fried food on the menu. Options include nikujaga, bite-sized pork fillet cutlets, chopped horse mackerel and grilled fish, while some diners mention enjoying the daily specials. For something lighter, there is chilled tomato or lightly pickled water eggplant; rice, plum or kombu rice balls, and ochazuke are also available when you want a more substantial meal. One visitor appreciated being able to order several dishes in portions manageable for one person, making it enjoyable to mix and match a little of what appeals.

Drinks include draft and bottled beer, sake, shochu and chuhai. Beer is an obvious pairing for the karaage, but there are plenty of other choices to suit your meal. Located in Ō今里南, Mocchinchi is an izakaya where you can dine in; it is also described as suitable for groups.
