Bloom Dining Service Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Nakamura-ku, Nagoya; Representative Director: Kazuhiro Nakatsuka), operator of the dining brand “Gabu Chicken,” will begin selling its early-summer limited menu item “Plum Oroshi Ginger Karaage” on Tuesday, May 19. “Plum Oroshi Ginger Karaage” features chicken breast karaage seasoned thoroughly with ginger, topped with plenty of coarse grated daikon and a special plum sauce. Its refreshing acidity and ginger aroma stimulate the appetite, making it a light and enjoyable dish even in the heat of early summer. In addition, selected locations of “Honetsukidori, Karaage, Highball Gabu Chicken” and “Honetsukidori, Karaage, Yakitori Gabu Chicken” will also offer other refreshing early-summer menu items that pair well with alcoholic drinks. The brand has prepared a seasonal lineup for customers to enjoy, inviting them to try Gabu Chicken’s limited-time offerings. The menu will be available from Tuesday, May 19 to Tuesday, June 30, 2026, while supplies last. Sales formats and prices may vary by store, and delivery sales are limited to certain products and locations. Gabu Chicken has won the Gold Award for 15 consecutive years at the Karaage Grand Prix, a competition that determines Japan’s best karaage. Its signature karaage is enjoyed more than 3.6 million times annually and is known for its crispy, fluffy, juicy texture and generous volume, achieved through the brand’s unique frying method. Another signature item, honetsukidori, is grilled with a secret spice blend and features crisp skin and juicy meat. The brand continues to evolve with changing times, offering its food not only through izakaya-style restaurants but also through takeout specialty shops, food courts, food trucks, convenience store products, and collaborations with confectionery manufacturers.
