Emiko:

big fan of karaage; great to know the history of the KFC phenomenon.

Happy New Year.

Yes - lots of people live alone in Tokyo.

And more and more do in our own big cities.

Fascinating!

Growing up a big bucket of KFC was a definite treat. I don’t think I’ve had it in 40 years! But that karaage looks absolutely delicious ✨

We never had it growing up, but I remember when I was living in Beijing in the 90s and American fast food arrived for the first time in China, KFC was one of the first places you could get "western" food! It felt like a pretty big deal to us foreign teenagers at the time!
