Finally on the third try! Hats off to the 50 yen croquette and exquisite fried chicken "Third time's the charm" is exactly this. Until now, 1st time: Visited on Wednesday and it was a regular holiday. 2nd time: Visited on Thursday, but hit the twice-monthly closing day. 3rd time: Arrived at 2:00 PM on Friday but was "preparing" and made to wait until 3:00 PM...... Normally one would give up, But I really wanted to eat it Killed time at Ario Yao, and revisited at 3:00 PM. Finally met the freshly fried items! This time's purchase lineup (total 830 yen) • Handmade croquette (50 yen) × 3 • Ham katsu (70 yen) × 2 • Minced meat cutlet (170 yen) × 2 • Frankfurter (100 yen) × 2 • Service: Fried chicken 2 pieces (thank you very much!) Taste Review Anyway, the aroma of lard is top-notch! The appetite-whetting savory aroma is irresistible. • Handmade Croquette Couldn't wait and ate one freshly fried. The batter is crispy, the inside is fluffy. Has an exquisite sweetness, For 50 yen, the level is too high. Quality that makes sense for winning the gold prize twice. • Fried Chicken This fried chicken given as a service, Surprinsingly delicious! With a presence of a main character that made me decide "Next time I will definitely buy a full order alone". Comparison of Yao's Two Croquette Giants Speaking of Yao, "Meat Tokunaga" is also famous, but here are my personal thoughts. • Sweetness: Tokunaga has slightly stronger sweetness. • Cost Performance: Hyotan is cheaper! • Size: Hyotan is slightly smaller. As for the taste, honestly "it's hard to tell which is better". Both are supremely delicious, So I definitely want you to compare them. Overall Evaluation It's understandable why it has frequent media exposure like "Gobugobi" and "Sugiru TV", It's a famous fried food shop that Yao is proud of. Matching the business hours might be a little tough, But a "cheap and delicious" experience awaits that more than makes up for the trouble. I will definitely drop by again! Thank you for the meal.

Really cheap and delicious croquette. Since it's takeout only, it's best to go home quickly and enjoy it while it's warm. The purchasing flow is to wait from ordering until it's ready, and pay at the same time as the product. When there are many people waiting, it might be hard to go in, but you can order first and wait outside.

Visited after seeing Instagram. A wonderful croquette shop with an atmosphere loved by locals. Croquettes are super cheap at 50 yen, and freshly fried ones are always ready to be served promptly. If you order items other than croquettes, you'll wait a little bit, but you don't mind because you can eat them freshly made. The customer service was extremely polite and left a very good impression. Would love to visit again!

How can you eat delicious croquettes at this price (50 yen each!) in this day and age...! Both the father and mother are super friendly, and the mother's memory is truly surprising! When I went to buy minced meat cutlet a few days ago and it was sold out, not only did she remember and apologize for it back then, she even remembered who I came with (wife, kids), which made me very happy. I will definitely repeat, and from now on I will only buy croquettes at Hyotan! It's that delicious and a good shop

Fried food shop in Yao. Previously "Delica Don" (which also had bentos) in Yamamoto closed down, and Ono and Sakai's butcher shop croquettes. After a long time to "Hyotan". In an era where everything is rising in price, 1 croquette is 50 yen tax included. The sweetness from the minced onions makes it the best! Meaty minced meat cutlet. It has a punch that you can enjoy even without sauce. Arrived just before noon on Saturday and there were under 10 customers ahead. Business is brisk, there was a wait time until it was ready, and I got chicken karaage as a freebie.
