Description

Kushikatsu Tanaka serves Osaka-style kushikatsu, skewers coated in batter and deep-fried, three minutes from the North Exit of Okachimachi Station. Skewers run from ¥88 for a sausage to ¥352 for large prawn (tax included), and assorted sets of five or eight are also on the menu. The restaurant has 57 seats across counter, table, tatami and box seating, and a PDF menu printed in English, Chinese and Korean is available. The house rule is that the shared sauce must not be dipped twice.

Highlights

Skewers are ordered one by one, from ¥88 to ¥352 (tax included), and the sauce comes with free refills of cabbage. Each group's sauce is thrown away after the meal, which is why dipping twice is not allowed.
An assortment of eight standard skewers is ¥1,551 (tax included), and the shop's kasu udon is ¥858 (tax included).
People under 20 may come without an adult, as the restaurant does not serve them alcohol. Guests who are 19 or younger can play rock, paper, scissors when ordering a soft drink: a win makes it free, a draw halves the price, and a loss is the listed price. Black oolong tea is not included.
