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.

There's something truly magical about fried chicken.

With the help of Chef Chris Young, we're taking a look at the science of deep frying, and explaining the "hows" and "whys" so that you can achieve fried poultry perfection at home.

Chef Vinny has been a restaurant owner for 40 years, and he did just about every job you can think of in the restaurant industry along the way. Now he’s sharing how to open a restaurant with a shoe-string budget and grow it to 7-figure yearly revenue.

At 17, Chef Vinny got his first food industry job, working the graveyard shift at a chicken processing plant. Within 2 years he’d advanced to management, experience that would prove valuable when he pivoted to opening a restaurant of his own.

Chef Vinny built Honey’s Kettle Fried Chicken from the ground up. He’ll explain how he built a brand around his new business and his tips for successful restaurant marketing. We’ll also learn about how he chose his location, developed his recipes, and all the other details of how to start a restaurant business as a new entrepreneur.

Honey’s Kettle has become a true family business. Chef Vinny and his wife run the restaurant business, and his son has also been working for them since he was a kid. We’ll hear their secrets to successful restaurant management and how they’ve built a team that feels like a family, even for those members of it Chef Vinny’s not related to.

In 40 years of business, Honey’s Kettle has had a lot of successes, but also its fair share of setbacks and mistakes. We’ll hear Chef Vinny’s insights into why restaurants fail and how he’s overcome the challenges of growing a restaurant startup into a 7-figure business.
