About the dish

Teba shichimi is a traditional chicken dish originating from Japan. The dish is usually made with a combination of chicken wings, garlic, sake, lime juice, salt, and shichimi (Japanese spice mix with seven ingredients). The wings are mixed with salt, garlic, and sake, and then marinated for about an hour before they're fried on both sides until golden brown. Once done, the wings are arranged on a plate and sprinkled with lime juice, shichimi, and salt. It's recommended to serve the dish immediately and pair it with a glass of beer. Teba shichimi is especially popular in izakayas (informal Japanese bars that serve alcoholic drinks and snacks).
