Fruits and ice cream are the staples of most parfaits. But we can count on Japanese cuisine to expand the boundaries of our palates to include other creatively-added ingredients. Sora News 24 sent a reporter to the Karafuneya Cafe inside a train station in Osaka to confirm rumors of a new type of parfait: one that includes fried chicken.
The cafe chain had already made headlines a decade ago with its fried shrimp parfait. Its fried chicken (karaage), which sells for about $9.70 USD has crispy fried chicken that is served warm. It contrasts nicely with the much colder ice cream and the sweet fruits.
