She Never Stops Piling It On! The Story of Japanese Famous Karaage Shop

Welcome to the world of "Karaage Ume-chan," a hidden gem in Sawara-ku, Fukuoka! In this documentary, we follow the energetic female chef, Miho Umezu, who creates a unique style of Japanese fried chicken that people just can't stop eating. What makes her karaage so special? The secret is "Ume" (Japanese Plum). By marinating the chicken in a secret plum sauce and finishing it with handmade plum salt, she creates a flavor that is incredibly juicy yet refreshingly light. As she says, "You can eat as many as you want!" But that's not all. Her "Daily Special Bento" is legendary for its sheer volume—a 1kg mountain of food where the lid simply refuses to close, all for just 500 yen! From her transition from an office worker to a self-taught chef, to her passion for feeding the local community during the pandemic, discover the heart and soul behind Fukuoka's favorite fried chicken. 🍗 English subtitles are available!
