Description

Only available until 1 July, Robata has created an elevated, unexpected spin on Famichiki, the iconic fried chicken from the hot food counters of Japan's FamilyMart convenience stores.

We chatted to Head Chef Lily McGrath about Robatachiki, its secret kick and how the konbini-style detour dish comes to life in a casual, neon-lit fine dining setting.

It all links up with our launch of Urban List Osaka with Southern Cross Travel Insurance, and the unexpected detours of travel—from discovering new flavours to navigating the unplanned moments every trip can bring. Find out more here:
