This time, we tried the all-you-can-eat course with all-you-can-drink option for the first time. The kids had soft drinks for the rock-paper-scissors game. At first, pork skewers, beef skewers, and edamame were served, and once we finished those, we could start ordering. The all-you-can-eat menu included a variety of dishes, which was great for our family with elementary school kids! In addition to skewers, there were popular dishes like katsu udon and other specialty items. Our favorites were the wasabi toro, beef ham yukke, poteriko, and onions. The skewers were delicious, freshly fried and hot. It was nice to have the opportunity to try slightly more expensive items like asparagus on the all-you-can-eat menu. It was fun to be able to choose from a variety of dishes, so we might choose this option again next time! ★

The staff was friendly despite being very busy, and they maintained a smile throughout, in line with the store's principles. They provided great services for families with children, making it easy for the little ones to enjoy their time. The adults were also satisfied with the consistently delicious food. The curry macaroni was delicious, and the onion salad was the best!

It's been a while since I visited here, and this is my second stop today. Osaka's traditional kushikatsu is something I haven't been able to enjoy in a long time. Many kushikatsu restaurants now prohibit double dipping and have switched from dipping sauce to pouring sauce, but I still crave it occasionally. I ordered the beef tendon skewer and seasonal five skewer set, along with additional items like pickled ginger and quail eggs, while washing it down with a cold beer or hoppy. The cabbage for in-between bites is also a nice touch. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the meal, and I plan to visit the first restaurant next time. Thank you for the meal.

The tempura-only all-you-can-eat is 1880 yen. The price may differ from reservations, but it was explained in advance. I had a few 99 yen sours during happy hour, so it was very reasonable. Even after the all-you-can-eat was over, I was able to relax and enjoy some chilled amazake. It was great to be able to eat freshly fried tempura.

A shop located near Chitose Karasuyama Station along the old Koshu Kaido road. It gives off a vibe of being junky, popular, chain-like, and affordable. There is a terrace seating area, and the interior is surprisingly spacious. [Order] - Assorted skewers - Flavored egg - Beer, and other drinks * "No bottled beer available." Total: Just under 3000 yen There are various types of skewers available at different prices, such as: - 100 yen: eggplant, garlic, ginkgo nuts, onion, etc - 120 yen: beef, pork, shiitake mushrooms, quail, etc - 150 yen: meatballs, fish cakes, etc - 200 yen: shrimp, etc Apart from skewers, there are other menu items that seem interesting. The sauce is refreshing and tasty. The skewers are a bit small in size, and I felt that the cost performance was not great. Compared to a yakitori skewer priced at 120 yen, it seems expensive. The yakitori skewers priced at 150 yen and 200 yen probably have better quality than the skewers here. However, these chain-like shops are rare, which is a good thing. The taste is average. I am concerned about the cost performance and hygiene.

On August 13, 2019, my wife and I visited this restaurant for the first time on a Tuesday evening. We arrived around 5:00 pm, and even though it was a weekday, the restaurant is open from 4:00 pm, so it was no problem. There were already 5-6 groups of customers inside, and since we didn't have a reservation, we were seated at the counter. To our surprise, we found out that they allow double dipping of the sauce here, which was not the case at their Koenji branch where it was a 1000 yen fine. The deep-fried skewers were all crispy and delicious. Among them, my favorite was the pork with shiso. We also tried a Osaka specialty called "mizunasu" (350 yen), which was more like raw eggplant than pickled. We enjoyed it with grated ginger and soy sauce. But the most impressive dish of the day was another Osaka specialty called "kasu udon" (640 yen)! It was udon topped with oil-drained horumon "kasu", which was flavorful and delicious. This is a must-order dish when you come here! Both my wife and I loved it. From 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm on weekdays, highballs and lemon sours are only 50 yen each, probably at cost price (lol)! If you want to drink a lot, weekday evenings are the way to go!

I visited a nearby Italian restaurant for a light meal and drinks, taking advantage of the beer promotion at Kushi Katsu Tanaka. I enjoyed a variety of kushi katsu skewers including shiitake mushrooms, seasoned egg, pork, and eggplant. The black pork skewer was a standout. The kushi katsu was delicious, and the sauce was also tasty. I also tried the "Yukke-style raw ham," which was a unique and delicious dish that reminded me of traditional yukke. I was impressed by the creativity and dedication of the restaurant. Overall, I left satisfied and impressed with the food.

★We had a meeting for the Chitokara Folk Live and decided to go to Kushiage Tanaka Karasuyama store, as a typhoon was approaching amidst the rainy season sky. The store has been open for over a year now. I had been avoiding it for a while because I wasn't a big fan of the Kichijoji store. It's located along the old Koshu Kaido road, a bit of a walk from the station, and on weekdays, there were only a few customers in the indoor seating area, while the outdoor seating area was empty. Despite my lack of enthusiasm, we walked in the rain to get there. The group consisted of four middle-aged guys, with three guitars and a wood bass, typical of the folk groups that were abundant at the time. Even in this rain, young couples with children were having a great time, it's really quite something how young people are these days... The middle-aged guys here were also having a good time discussing this. Our wood bass player, a balding junior from Osaka who loves kushiage, was enthusiastically devouring the food he ordered, so we couldn't even choose the next song before it was time to wrap up. Song selection will have to be carried over to next time (laughs). However, we did manage to decide on the ending song - Takuro Yoshida's "Ningen Nante" - and we played it endlessly as long as time allowed (laughs). But man, isn't this place a bit pricey?

★2018・12 revisit On a holiday, the restaurant opened at 2pm. The outdoor seating, which was too cold to enjoy before, has been renovated into a comfortable space now (lol). I have always been someone who bets on the year-end Jumbo lottery and the Arima Kinen horse race. This year, I watched the races while drinking (lol). I won the bet, with a 8-12 exacta paying 940 yen on a 1000 yen bet, resulting in a loss of 600 yen after placing a 10000 yen bet (lol). I was with two kindergarten classmates and two juniors, all of whom are hardcore gamblers (lol). But we just can't win at horse racing, right? ♪〜No one has ever gotten rich from horses, we know that but we can't stop〜♬ We enjoyed skewers, pork stew, sausages, macaroni salad, peanuts, etc., along with beer, Hoppy, and highballs. Winning at the races was good, but be careful because the prices can add up quickly when you start drinking too much... (｡-_-｡)

It was delicious.

The fried skewers were all delicious, especially the shiitake mushrooms and chicken wings. They offer great services for families with children, but it can get quite crowded, so it's recommended to go early in the evening when it's relatively less busy.

Cost-effective. However, reservation required on weekends. It's a shame that it's non-smoking. Family-friendly.

Stable. I feel like going there about once a month.

A chain store specializing in deep-fried skewers in Kozuyama, Chitose. The skewers are priced at 100 yen, 120 yen, 150 yen, and 200 yen, with various types available at each price point. The store has a terrace seating area and is spacious. I visited on a weeknight close to midnight, and the staff were mostly young. At this late hour, there were quite a few overly enthusiastic people. The appetizer cost around 240 yen when calculated based on the total bill. I ordered sake and skewers of oyster, shrimp, and deep-fried tofu in sweet miso, all priced at 200 yen each. However, I used a half-price discount from a 100 yen sale. The shrimp and oyster skewers were small. The deep-fried tofu in sweet miso was not particularly large either. The batter was crispy. However, due to the small size of the ingredients, the shrimp lacked flavor. The oyster still had a slight unique smell. The deep-fried tofu in sweet miso was soft with an ultra-thin batter. It might have been the most delicious. The sweet miso was also good. Overall, I think the cost performance is not that great.

I visited for the first time. The location is calm as per the concept, with residential houses around. The food is the same as other chain restaurants, but delicious. The service for children is good. It's nice that it's an izakaya where families can also enjoy. I would like to visit again.
