Chicken Gizzard’ is one of the most healthy, nutritious parts of the chicken; packed with full of protein.  It is eaten all around the world and is even considered as delicacy in some countries as Uganda, Cameroon and Nigeria; also very popular in Kathmandu, Nepal too.

Cleaned Gizzard (pre packed is available in Hanamasa); ‘Hanamasa’ a supermarket chain in Japan; is popular for its quality product at low price and 24 hour open shop. Only limitation is that for smaller family it is not as convenient as many things you can’t purchase in small quantity we had same dilemma when my husband wanted to purchase. We visited two to three times every week the ‘Hanamasa’ in our vicinity in Shibaura, Minato-ku- Tokyo.

The pack available in Hanamasa has about 16-20 numbers; so whenever my husband will show interest, I use to say next time. Finally one day the next time was right there; we bought a packet.

I cooked the recipe for dinner and it is a bit chewy, but really delicious in taste. The chewiness is being specialty.
