Best Kushikatsu in Osaka, JP

Deep-fried skewered meat, seafood, and vegetables coated in panko breadcrumbs and served with a shared dipping sauce.

4.3 / 5

The batter was thin enough to highlight the pork itself rather than just the fried coating. The signature sauce is rich and perfectly balanced.

The batter was perfect—so crispy and light, so good! The deep-fried oyster was incredibly creamy and flavorful.

A lovely way of trying a bunch of different kushikatsu! Everything was fresh, and the atmosphere was great with a wonderful wine selection.

The best Dote-yaki here! The beef tendon is stewed to perfection and slathered generously with miso sauce.
