“The unbattered fried chicken leg is the main dish to notice: a slightly sweet marinade arrives first, followed by crisp skin and juicy meat. Chicken Cutlet Rice offers another choice through its crisp coating and tender chicken. White rice and homestyle sides complete the meal. Near Wukuaicuo Station, it suits diners craving a freshly fried chicken bento; allow extra pickup time at lunch and dinner peaks.”

Fried Chicken Leg Rice

The chicken leg is fried directly without batter, its lightly crisp skin holding juicy meat. A sweet note in the marinade comes first, followed by the chicken's own savor. With white rice, its savory-sweet profile is clear; the separately provided pepper adds more aroma. Start here if you want chicken skin and meat juices.

Chicken Cutlet Rice

The cutlet is crisp and fragrant outside but tender within, retaining juices without becoming dry or tough. Moderate savory seasoning meets soft yet springy white rice, connecting fried aroma with the rice's fragrance without leaving only heaviness. Choose it as your bento main if you prefer a crisp coating.

Uncle's note: A queue at a bento shop is nothing unusual. Chicken that arrives with lightly crisp skin and juice still inside—that is why people line up again.
