The Backstory of Cold Fried Chicken at Ko Bar The Team at Momofuku Ko

People don’t always understand our cold fried chicken at Ko Bar. Why serve leftovers, they ask? We do it because to it’s delicious. This dish has been on the menu since we first opened the bar, and despite the fact that the process to make it each day is incredibly labor-intensive, it’s here to stay.

We fry our cold fried chicken four times. We batter it, fry it, batter it again, fry it again, batter it a third time―you get it. Four times. It creates a crispy lattice-work that stays crispy, even when served cold.

The dry batter itself is very simple, just cornstarch and rice flour. We add beer for flavor and vodka because it evaporates more quickly than water and helps make the chicken crispier when it’s fried. After all the frying is finished, we dunk the chicken in a glaze of sugar, green tabasco, yuzu kosho, and white soy. It’s slightly sweet, slightly spicy. Then, it goes into the fridge until it comes out to your plate.

It’s like an ultimate late-night fridge raid that yields a perfect leftover fried chicken snack. Only, it isn’t leftovers―it’s made this way. We hope you enjoy.

As if the golden leaves and the raspy husks of summer growth were not adequate signals of a seasons passing, the west wind insisted we acknowledge falls approach.

Somewhat experimental illustration this time. I wanted to do something based on the cute Arakawa tram line that runs through Tokyo. This is the only remaining Tokyo tram - the line is made from pieces of other, already closed lines.

We went with Kana to do some location hunting walking the whole length of the line and taking many, many pictures in 2017 and I wanted to make something with them since. Recently, I also wanted to try a little bit more simple, illustration-like style of drawing and to practice drawing and designing characters. I decided to use the photos we took to make this illustration including one of the places we photographed and also some characters inspired by the people we saw.

The lines in this piece are done using a LAMY Safari M fountain pen with the Sailor Sei-Boku dark blue ink. the pen works surprisingly well on watercolor paper and the pigment-based ink is waterproof which makes it possible to paint over it with watercolors!

Technical details: * Lines: LAMY SAFARI M fountain pen, Sailor sei-boku ink * Colors: My 50 colors Schmincke Horadam set * Paper: Fabriano Artistico Traditional White F6 300g Cold Press
