    The outside is crispy and the inside is soft. Once you eat it, the miso soup, which is a specialty, is often entwined with chicken that has chopsticks that do not stop. Satisfied with plenty of high quality leek. The yellowish soboro eggs and Chichibu's specialty shikushi vegetables pickled with plum vinegar add color.
