Japanese-Inspired French Fries at Izakaya Juraku: Crispy, Fluffy, and Loaded with Flavor

We take something as simple as fries and load them up with Japanese flavors, unusual toppings, and a touch of fun.

Our fries go through a salt brining and triple washing process, followed by double frying, to get them fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

Our Signature Fries at Izakaya Juraku

Okonomiyaki Fries

Inspired by Osaka's famous okonomiyaki (savory Japanese pancake), these fries come loaded with:

• Okonomiyaki sauce, a sweet and savory umami-packed glaze
• Shredded cabbage for crunch and freshness
• Cheese and corn for a rich, melty combination
• Scallions and mayo for a creamy, zesty balance
• Katsuobushi (bonito flakes), the final touch, dancing with the heat of the fries

Loaded Fries

If you're looking for something hearty, our Loaded Fries come in two varieties:

• Kakuni (Japanese braised pork) Loaded Fries: our melt-in-your-mouth kakuni, slow-braised to perfection, served over fries with spicy mayo, melted cheese, and pickled jalapeños
• Karaage Fried Chicken Loaded Fries: our signature karaage (Japanese fried chicken) on top of fries with the same spicy mayo, melted cheese, and pickled jalapeños

Shake Shake Fries: A Viral Sensation

Our Shake Shake Fries are an interactive, DIY experience that's been making waves online. Guests get a bag with manga-style instructions on how to shake up the perfect fries, plus a side of Q.P. mayo for dipping. There are two flavor options:

• Wasabi Shake Shake Fries: a viral hit, this mix of Kinjirushi wasabi, soy sauce powder, and chicken stock powder brings a bold, umami-rich kick
• Aka Shiso Shake Shake Fries: a unique and refreshing option with red perilla (aka shiso) seasoning, offering a slightly tart and herbal flavor

Guests add the fries and seasoning into the bag, shake it up, and enjoy, just like in Japan.
