Christmas JFC (Japanese Fried Chicken) at OTOTO

Enjoy a uniquely Japanese winter holiday feast courtesy of OTOTO, where chef Charles Namba will pay homage to the country’s ritual of ordering Kentucky Fried Chicken and a strawberry-topped Asian fruit cream “Christmas cake” every year around December 25. Each $58 JFC (Japanese Fried Chicken) set for two from the Echo Park sake bar (ordered via sister restaurant Tsubaki's Tock page) includes five pieces of bone-in buttermilk sansho fried chicken, shrimp macaroni gratin, ume-dressed daikon salad, cabbage slaw and a large buttermilk biscuit from Silver Lake’s All Day Baby.

But wait! There’s more: A strawberry jelly roll from Konbi, OTOTO’s Echo Park neighbor best known for its delectable Japanese konbini-inspired milk bread sandwiches. Rolled with Harry’s Berries strawberry jam, Konbi’s strawberry roll uses a chiffon cake base and marscapone whipped cream.

Available in limited quantities, OTOTO's JFC set will be sold during dine-in service and available for pickup—via pre-orders only—on December 22 and 23. OTOTO will also be offering sake by the bottle (for pickup) or by the glass to wash it all down.
