    Kushikatsu Daruma head office is a very famous specialty kushikatsu (a grilled skewer) restaurant even for Shinsekai, a famous sightseeing place in Osaka. This well-established restaurant opened in 1929. It is also well-known as the birthplace of kushikatsu and often featured on TV and in magazines. It achieves a perfect balance by extracting the taste of ingredients with an uncompromising quality of batter, sauce and oil. The famous Original Kushikatsu, which is succulent beef in freshly fried crispy batter covered with sauce, has an irresistible taste. There are only 12 seats at the counter, so waiting in the queue is unavoidable.

    Eating this for a second time after 4 years and don’t think it’s as tasty as before. Prices also went up considerably but still you will have longs queues due to its popularity. Had the 10 sticks...

    Osaka Osakashi Naniwa-ku Ebisuhigashi 1-6-8
    This is a specialist “Kushi Age” (deep-fried skewered meat and vegetables) restaurant almost directly below Osaka Tsutenkaku Tower. The big billboard of “Kushikatsu daruma” is the restaurant’s landmark. This is a long-established Kushi Age restaurant which has continued for four generations since it was established in 1929, and it is a popular restaurant which continues to have queues form outside as it has a flavor liked by the average person in Osaka. In addition to the counter seats in the store, there are also 16 table seats so you can enjoy coming in a group or coming with the family. The specially made sauce, fine coating and exquisite original oil is well balanced, and the flavors extracted from the raw ingredients are surprisingly light. The crunchy interior has a sticky food texture—even those people who do not like deep fried food will find them delicious to eat.

    Osaka Osakashi Naniwa-ku Ebisuhigashi 2-5-9
    This kushikatsu (skewers of fried food) izakaya pub in Shinsekai has been in business since 1916. This pub has a bright small restaurant atmosphere with counter seats and in-floor tables. Their main menu is kushikatsu skewers fried with carefully selected bread crumbs. New items are created each season using ingredients such as with clams and sea bream. They also offer sides of sukiyaki grilled wagyu beef, beef soup and more.

    大正5年創業の店。長く続いているにはそれなりの理由があるんでしょう。無料のキャベツを食べながらビールを飲みました。素材、衣、ソースにこだわった三位一体の串カツと壁に描いていました。牛串カツ、黒豚バラ串、ホルモン串などをいただきましたが、確かに美味しい。

    Tsurukameya is a kushikatsu (Japanese-style deep-fried kebabs) and doteyaki (beef tendons stewed in miso and mirin) restaurant that keeps alive the flavors of Showa-period Osaka. Tsurukameya is open 24 hours, so you can enjoy reasonably-priced kushikatsu at any time of day. Beer is also available at reasonable prices during licensing hours, which has made the restaurant even more popular. Popular menu items include beef kushikatsu, pork back ribs, and quails’ eggs. There is also an extensive range of “Japanese junk food” side dishes, including kuwayaki (cooked on a metal plate), motsunabe (offal stew), and yakisoba (fried noodles).

    通天閣の近くにある居酒屋さんです。大阪名物の串カツやどて焼きが食べられます。入り口のは著名人のサインがあったり、若かりし頃のさんまさんのポスターが貼ってあったりとレトロな雰囲気を味わえます。日曜の夕方でしたが結構賑わってました。

    Osaka Osakashi Naniwa-ku Ebisuhigashi 2-4-13
    This is the main location of the Ittoku chain of Kushikatsu restaurants. Visitors are greeted at the door by a charming metal Billiken figure, and the small restaurant space contains eight counter seats and tatami room seating for 12. The varied menu features everything from simple meat and vegetable skewers to carefully prepared Shisomaki (nuts and miso wrapped in shiso leaves). In addition to the Kushiage Variety Set, there is an all-you-can-eat option. Ittoku's famous Doteyaki (stewed beef tendons) is available for take-out.

    県外から来た友人と一緒に行きました。 私自身は地元民です。 一言で言えば最悪! 味は普通。 550円するどて焼きがカスくらいの量。 コスパも超絶悪い。 串カツ20本ほどライス2杯烏龍茶3杯、ビール一杯、どて焼きで7,000円 参考にしてください。 接客最悪。 店内不潔。 観光地になって一見さんのみを相手にしてる新世界だからやっていけるだけなように感じました。 がら空きにスタッフ3、4人。 一杯目の...

    This is the Abeno Harukas Dining store of the kushikatsu (skewers of fried food) restaurant from Hozenji Yokocho. The interior matches its location, and uses relaxed and stylish furnishings. The menu is centered on creative deep-fried skewers, with carefully made ones including shrimp-stuffed shiitake mushrooms and perilla-wrapped shrimp. In addition to the special skewer sauce, there is also salt, lemon and other things you can use to put on them that match your own preference. You can also order ochazuke (green tea over rice) set to finish your meal.

    We found this place after we visited the Harukas 300 observation deck and it was a bit crowded, since it was around lunch time. We ended up on a nice table close to the action and my youngest son and...

While Osaka prefecture is the country's second smallest prefecture, its capital, Osaka City, is the country’s third-largest and arguably one of the most popular in the Kansai region thanks to its vibrant nightlife, the Osaka people’s openness, and its much-loved cuisine, which has earned it the nickname "the nation’s kitchen."
