Currently in trials in Tokyo, the robot has turned the Kara-age Kun cooking from six minutes to one.

This isn’t a vending machine, as it’s still necessary to buy the Kara-age Kun container at the register and scan its barcode.

Karage arent chicken nuggets guys
Same way kfc popcorn chicken arent nuggets or mcbites arent nuggets
Not all small peices of fried chicken are nuggets
Im ashamed of your lack of chicken knowledge kotaku
Referring to Karaage as chicken nuggets is pretty misleading.
To be fair, the company calls them nuggets on their English site too. They’re definitely not the same as typical nuggets though.
They are technically nuggets of chicken, even if proper Karaage is to chicken nuggets what lobster tail is to imitation crab meat.
