Matsuya Chicken Nanban meal recommendation suggests using red pickled ginger

A new way to enjoy the Chicken Nanban set meal at Matsuya has been suggested, focusing on enhancing the flavor profile of the dish. The recommendation involves adding a generous amount of free red pickled ginger (beni shoga) to the meal. The acidity and texture of the ginger are said to provide a sharp contrast to the rich, heavy tartar sauce and chicken, creating a balanced flavor experience.

To fully enjoy the meal, it is suggested to order a large or extra-large serving of rice to complement the dense flavors. While adding other seasonings is discouraged because the tartar sauce is considered a complete flavor on its own, adding extra salad is recommended as it pairs well with the sauce.
