A new famous Japanese fried food restaurant opens in Ginza: A new business, Ageru Karin, overseen by Michelin-starred restaurant Ginza Rin Nishimura

WAKUWAKU F&D DINING Co., Ltd., a restaurant operator, will be grand opening "Ageru Karin" (pronounced "Ageru Karin"), a fried food specialty store that inherits the Japanese spirit, in Ginza, Tokyo, on July 15, 2025.
The flagship store is a new venture supervised by the renowned Ginza Rin Nishimura restaurant, which is featured in the Michelin Guide. Guests can enjoy Japanese fried foods that combine tradition and innovation in a high-quality space with counter seating.

■The thoughts behind "Karin"

The restaurant's name, "Karin," is derived from the name of chef Kaito Ioka, and while it inherits the philosophy and techniques of its predecessor, "Ginza Rin," it also expresses the restaurant's determination to pursue a more free and innovative "world of deep-frying."



■ Deep-fried food that is savored with all five senses, with soul poured into each dish

The restaurant offers a variety of dishes that utilize traditional Japanese cooking techniques, such as fried button shrimp and duck and foie gras croquettes, which bring out the full flavor of the ingredients and are served delicately cooked and beautifully presented.
We offer a wide range of courses, and can also make suggestions based on the ingredients of the day and your preferences.

We offer English-speaking service for guests from Japan and abroad, making it an ideal place for special dining and entertaining.
