¥240.00

Signature bite-sized fried chicken nuggets with a thin, savory breading and juicy center.

DFC (Dentucky Fried Chicken)

¥27000.00

A single fried chicken wing stuffed with rotating seasonal ingredients, served in a playful takeout box.

Tip: This is part of the omakase course. Look inside the box for little surprises—the chef often hides stickers or small toys that change with the seasons. The stuffing changes too, so every visit is a new experience.
