The restaurant is located in Sonezaki, one of Umeda’s leading entertainment districts, near Tsuyuten Shrine, which is associated with matchmaking. Founded more than 70 years ago, it is known as one of Osaka’s leading kushikatsu restaurants.

The light, airy deep-fried skewers feature shrimp, pork, and seasonal ingredients from the mountains and sea. Offerings include bamboo shoots in spring, sweetfish in summer, and pufferfish and crab during the colder months.

Careful attention is given to every step of the cooking process. Each skewer is lightly coated with custom-made, finely ground breadcrumbs and fried until crisp in a copper pot, which conducts heat efficiently. Once cooked, the skewer is spun to remove excess oil through centrifugal force. These techniques, passed down over many years, are still followed meticulously today.

Season the kushikatsu with the accompanying sauces, ponzu, salt, or dashi soy sauce. The rich Worcestershire sauce and spicy hot sauce are both carefully crafted original blends. Savor the flavors of this long-established restaurant in its refined, relaxing setting.
