Aburaya
Japanese
The logo is a Ramones seal riff, and the walls are buried in band stickers and prints, so the vibe is established before you order. Aburaya is a karaage shop in Oakland's Temescal that goes deep on one thing: thick boneless thighs marinated in shio-koji, dredged in potato starch for a crunch that actually holds. The seasonings and dipping sauces, garlic miso powder, sansho pepper, miso ranch, are where the kitchen puts its personality.

Boneless thighs
“Thick boneless thighs (four pieces for $12) are juicy with umami, thanks to a fermented rice marinade, better known as shio-koji, while a dredge in potato starch keeps them crunchy for a long time (and naturally gluten-free).”
