Introduction

Chicken is one of the most versatile and beloved meats around the world, enjoyed in countless cuisines, styles, and recipes.

At AL MODINA, all of our chicken is halal-certified, carefully slaughtered and butchered by hand in Japan, ensuring not only the best taste but also the trust and assurance our customers expect. This 500g pack of Japan Chicken Breast Cartilage (Crunchy Bone) delivers both quality and flavor – perfect for grilling, stir-fry, yakitori, or as a unique snack to enjoy with family and friends.

What is Chicken Breast Cartilage (Yagen Nankotsu)?

Chicken breast cartilage, or Yagen Nankotsu, is the triangular piece of cartilage found at the tip of the chicken breastbone. Unlike regular chicken breast meat, this cut offers a distinctively crunchy texture that is especially popular in Japanese izakayas and yakitori restaurants. It is often grilled on skewers, seasoned with salt or tare sauce, and enjoyed with drinks.

While it may sound unusual to some, chicken cartilage is a delicacy for many food lovers. The contrast between the chewy meat surrounding the cartilage and the crunchy bite of the cartilage itself creates a unique eating experience. In fact, this part of the chicken is considered a “hidden gem” that many first-time customers are pleasantly surprised by.
