On September 10th, a take-out fried chicken specialty store "Kikkosei Karaage Joto Store" ( Waizumi , Hirosaki City, TEL 080-8518-4973) opened on the site of an ATM in Hirosaki.

The recycle shop "Manya Hirosaki Joto Store" is run by a consulting company "Hirosaki Yumekosha" (Hirosaki City), utilizing the former ATM site in the parking lot. We offer fried food using soy sauce from the soy sauce brewer "Kikkosei" (Fujisaki Town), which inherited the business last year.

Hitomi Saito, the president of "Hirosaki Yumekosha," said, "Sales of products centered on apple pie, which was our mainstay, fell due to the influence of the new coronavirus that has continued since last year, and we needed a new challenge. With the slogan of contributing to the local community, we focused on fried apple pie because it has become the largest consumer in Japan. " "I like karaage so much that I choose it for the Last Supper."

The ATM site, which is 8 tatami mats in size, has been renovated to create a building that resembles a chicken coop. It is said that the entire building is playful and has a coloring that stands out even from a distance. We are particular about fried chicken twice, and the box we offer is shaped like a store, with double bottoms and air holes to maintain the deliciousness of fried chicken.

Currently, the menu is only "Sho oil flavor" (large = 2,160 yen, medium = 1,080 yen, small = 580 yen), but "Miso flavor" will be available from October 1st. In addition to planning "garlic flavor" and "lemon flavor" in the future, Kikkosei soy sauce (1 liter ~ = 864 yen ~) and Tsugaru miso (large = 2,700 yen, small = 648 yen) will also be on sale.

Orders are placed from the touch panel ticket vending machine at the entrance. It also supports card payments and cashless payments. The offer number and call number are displayed on the display. Karaage is basically fried after receiving an order, and the fryer is automatic. According to Mr. Saito, this is the first equipment introduced in the prefecture.

The number of visitors to the store has reached 1,000 in the three days since it opened, aiming for 5,000 by the end of this month. The "Fujisaki store" attached to the factory is scheduled to open in the middle of next month. Mr. Saito says, "We are currently looking for names for mascot characters. We will continue to set up ballot boxes and continue to do fun things that will make us smile with our customers." ..

Business hours are from 11:00 to 19:00.
