Featured in my Japanese Street Food Tour video in Tokyo Jujo Ginza, I’m back going behind the counter at this Japanese Fried Food Sozai shop. This Tokyo Hidden Spot Japan Food spot is definitely worth visiting if you’ve never had Japanese fried food before as it has everything from Japanese Fried Chickem Japanese chicken katsu, korokke and even yakitori. Aisaika nestled in Tokyo’s local Jujo Ginza shopping street, 5 minutes from Jujo station. This Japanese Deli-like Fried Food Heaven, Sozai shop, Aisaika nestled in Tokyo’s local Jujo Ginza shopping street, 5 minutes from Jujo station. Japan Sozai shops are known for their freshly made side dishes that families buy to add to their dinner table, and this shop is no exception, serving families delicious fried food and other dishes for the last 14 years. The karaage fried chicken here tastes very similar to how the owner’s mother used to make it and he says that he always loved it when she put it in his school bento box as a kid. Apparently, his customers love the karrage fried chicken too as he sells about 40 to 50 kilos, 110 lbs a day! So the shop serves quite a bit of chicken dishes by design. Due to the nature of a typical Japanese sozai shops, food is displayed out in the open throughout the day and because of this beef and pork items tend to get harder over time while chicken remains soft and juicy.

  1. I love shops like this! Everything looks so good. Just wish they offered the food hot as most places have it at room temp.

  2. You should do something with day in the life of a pro wrestler. Like vlog a daily life of a NJPW or Stardom wrestler

  3. Look at that dark brown oil, JFC. People think just because it's Japanese, it's cleaner, better, etc. It's not. It's heart-failure– the shop

  4. That's a loving father right there. It's very physically demanding to own a food business but a determined father for their kids triumphs.

  5. I enjoyed this episode very much because I learned so much about the owner/employees and got insight about the customers and the business.

  6. Am I mistaken, but we never saw you try the fried chicken… Thanks for this video – it is just easing one's mind watching other people work and go about their daily lives just like oneself is… And we need that in these times. =)

  7. I really want to have an inside scoop on the manga artist of blue lock. I hope you would cover it.

  8. What a beautiful and family friendly shop, all the costumers and the staff are so respectable and friendly. Japanese culture is light-years ahead of european culture 👏👏👏

  9. Might be hard or even impossible, but could you do a ,,Day in the Life of a Care Worker"?
    Im a care worker myself in Germany and just would like to know how it is over there.
