We recommend not buying one pack of Japan’s new convenience store corn soup-flavor fried chicken
But that doesn’t mean we don’t love it. Japanese convenience store chain Lawson’s Karaage-kun is one of the absolute all-stars of the combini food world. These bite-sized pieces of karaage (Japanese-style fried chicken), which even come with a toothpick so you can eat them without getting your fingers dirty, are so deliciously satisfying that it’s […]
Lawson's Karaage-kun, a Japanese convenience store chain, has introduced a new limited-time flavor of fried chicken with a corn soup taste. While this might not be a globally recognized Japanese cuisine, corn soup is a beloved comfort food during fall and winter in Japan. This corn soup-flavored Karaage-kun is exclusive to Lawson stores in the Tokai and Hokuriku areas of Japan.
The packaging features the Asakuma logo, and the corn soup flavor is simple, creamy, and slightly sweet. Upon opening the box, the aroma of corn soup filled the air, and the taste was a delightful combination of rich, meaty chicken and sweet corn. So satisfying was the experience that the reviewer immediately purchased another pack.
While priced at 298 yen (US$1.90), the reviewer also indulged in another Lawson and Asakuma collaboration, a 248-yen roll cake version of the purin custard pudding served by Asakuma. Nagoya's high-quality eggs contribute to this dessert's rich sweetness, complemented by a hint of bitterness from caramel sauce. These products, however, are only available in selected Lawson stores in Aichi, Shizuoka, Gifu, Toyama, Ishikawa, and Fukui Prefectures.
