Crispy fried food is amazing!

Since this restaurant specializes in fried prawns and cutlets, it fries them with breadcrumbs made from bread without crust and vegetable oil! The refined oil, called Shirashimeyu, is made of rapeseed and soy seed. Dishes fried in this oil will stay tasty after cooled down.
