To promote the Hakata Jidori brand of chicken developed by the Chikushino-based Fukuoka Agricultural Research Center, a council of Prefectural Office staff and consumers has teamed up with Chikushino City to create Chikushino Kara-age. The fried chicken is being sold on a trial basis at the so-called antenna shop in JR Futsukaichi Station until 5/31. The Fukuoka Agricultural Research Center developed Hakata Jidori to suit mizutaki, a local Fukuoka delicacy, and it is typified by a flavorful taste and firm texture. The fried chicken, which is flavored with Chikushino’s own Ebisu Soy Sauce and Tenbai Miso, went on sale on 4/21 for ¥300 per 100 grams. Officials from Chikushino City say it has been well received, and they have received inquiries from people who want to develop it into a product. Source: Nishinippon Shimbun 5/17
