THE RECORD

identity

The Tokyo-Bay product description emphasizes a crisp exterior and juicy interior, while identifying the ingredients as plant-derived. Its restaurant and bistro menus share the same product listing; the two counters do not establish separate food families. [1] [2]

THE RECORD

history

A November 2021 announcement introduced plant-based karaage formats into a fair running from November 11 to January 9, 2022. Alongside a three-piece serving, the bites appeared in nanban with plant-based tartare, a green salad, and a bread roll. Harajuku had a tunnbrod version. City-store assortments differed, so the event announcement does not establish that every format was sold at every store. [3]

THE RECORD

nutrition

The table is per 100 grams. An individual bite’s weight is unknown, so no per-piece calorie total can be calculated or assigned to the historical three-piece cup, sandwiches or salad. [1]

THE RECORD

prices

The table distinguishes the later single bite from the historical three-piece fair serving. The fair also priced nanban and salad at ¥290 each, a bread roll at ¥250, and Harajuku’s tunnbrod at ¥290. Those combined dishes had their own portions and dates. [3] [1]

THE RECORD

distinctions

Plant-based karaage is distinct from the animal-chicken karaage advertised in the same old fair. Today’s product declares sesame, soy and wheat. The operator also warns of shared-kitchen cross-contact, and leaves pistachio and macadamia status unconfirmed. Its plant-derived description does not establish a certified allergen-free preparation or the unchanged recipe of a historical combination. [1] [3]
