I couldn't remember if I had been there before, but I was craving kushikatsu so I decided to go. I ordered a draft beer, lemon sour, various skewers, curry-flavored macaroni salad, chilled tomatoes with pickled ginger, onion slices, and finished with katsu udon. The taste was pretty good overall, especially the squid. And I still love the crispy Worcestershire sauce with kushikatsu.

The restaurant is not very spacious and the seats are narrow, but the turnover is good and the atmosphere of the restaurant is nice. The portions are a bit generous, but it's good for when you're in the mood for fried food. They also have dessert service promotions for those who fill out surveys, which made for an enjoyable time.

I visited without a reservation at night. The restaurant was about half full. I enjoyed hot skewers and also got to cook my own takoyaki at the table. The atmosphere of the restaurant felt geared towards younger people, and you can also play a dice game called Chinchirorin.

I always go to Kushikatsu Tanaka in Osaka! The rule of no double dipping for the sauce is no longer in effect. The kushikatsu was crispy and very delicious. The familiar taste of Osaka, "niku-sui", had a gentle dashi flavor and was delicious. I also recommend the asparagus! It's great that you can also go to this restaurant in Tokyo.

Total: 8,025 yen for two people. We were able to drink four glasses of Chinchirorin for the price of three, with the third one being free. My friend even managed to get his drink for free by rolling a double. We also had around 15-20 skewers each at this price. As always, great value for money. When looking for a casual drinking spot, we always end up at Kushikatsu Tanaka.

On a day when we finished work early, my colleagues and I visited this place. The freshly fried kushikatsu was delicious as expected. Everyone got to eat their favorite items and left satisfied. The chicken karaage was so juicy that some of us even went for seconds. The potato salad was great when mashed to our preferred saltiness. The restaurant was a bit small, but the lively and bright atmosphere made it enjoyable. Unlike local restaurants, this place had a smartphone order system, which was a bit disappointing as we couldn't use our sake pass. It seems like everyone has to purchase one if they want to drink, but not everyone in our group wanted to. The signal was also weak, making it difficult to place orders at times.

I went to Kushikatsu Tanaka, located about a 5-minute walk from Shinjuku-sanchome Station, to relax and unwind from work on a Monday. My body was craving alcohol, so the kushikatsu was perfect for snacking while drinking. The kushikatsu pieces were all easy to eat and perfect for nibbling on. In particular, when I sprinkled a little salt on the shiitake mushroom skewer and took a bite, the juicy mushroom flavor spread throughout my mouth, making it very delicious! They also have a variety of other dishes that are great for light drinking. If you want to have a light drink after work, I highly recommend checking this place out!

I first tried kushikatsu in the new world and became hooked, always making sure to go eat kushikatsu whenever I visited Osaka. Recently, I haven't been able to go to Osaka and have missed eating kushikatsu, so I finally went to a kushikatsu restaurant. The interior reminded me of old ramen shops. It was a busy night on a weekday with a lot of salarymen and groups of students, creating a lively atmosphere. The kushikatsu ranged from 100 to 200 yen. The batter was a bit thicker and slightly greasy compared to what I had in Osaka, but still delicious! The beef tendon kushikatsu was melt-in-your-mouth tender and flavorful. We reminisced about Osaka and had a great time chatting. I will definitely revisit when I start craving kushikatsu again.

I felt like eating fried food, so I dragged my tired body to the Shinjuku Sanchome area. I went past Shinjuku Suihotei and headed to Tanaka. This time, I decided to order lotus root with pickled ginger, shiitake mushrooms, beef, and pork to change things up. The cabbage appetizer was cut into small pieces and cost 250 yen. The lotus root had a soft texture after being cooked once, and the shiitake mushrooms tasted quite sweet with the soy sauce on the table. Thank you for the meal. As usual, they only accept cash for payment, which can be a bit inconvenient.

After Shinjuku Hormone, I went to Kushikatsu Tanaka. It was my first time at Kushikatsu Tanaka. They promote it as a specialty of Osaka, but there are stories that kushikatsu is not actually a specialty in Osaka. However, it is described as "traditional Osaka flavor," not as a specialty. If they were to advertise it as "Osaka specialty kushikatsu," it might receive a different reaction. Despite kushikatsu not being a specialty in Osaka, they have managed to make it popular as if it were a specialty, which is quite impressive. The restaurant was crowded. It's very popular. The toilet is unisex and not very clean, and it seemed like many of the staff were part-time workers as they often didn't hear when called. However, the place was bustling. The indoor seating was full, but there were empty seats outside. Tanaka is entirely non-smoking, which is greatly appreciated. The menu at Kushikatsu Tanaka features deep-fried skewers ranging from 120 yen to 200 yen. However, during the summer campaign, all skewers were priced at 100 yen each, which was quite generous. You could eat 10 skewers and have about 3 drinks and still not exceed 2,000 yen. Kushikatsu Tanaka's specialty... I've seen it at other restaurants as well, it's called "Chinchirorin." If you roll matching numbers, you can get a larger beer for free. I'm not sure about the other rules. It seems you don't necessarily have to play Chinchirorin. We rolled matching numbers twice out of four attempts with four people. The excitement and drunkenness create a certain level of excitement. On the left is the Mega Highball obtained by rolling matching numbers. There is a lot of ice in it, but the most noticeable thing is the large size of the beer mug. I'm not sure if I ultimately gained or lost from this experience. Cabbage is provided as a complimentary dish, so there is no need to order salads. ■ Niku-sui (490 yen) Niku-sui, a specialty of Osaka. It was my first time trying this dish. It had a familiar taste with a hint of seasoning. I'm not entirely sure what kind of dish it is supposed to be. ■ Umakara Buta Mori (490 yen) This pork dish is served in a large portion for 490 yen. It is cheap and filling. The flavor is on the strong side, which goes well with highballs. If you go there every day, you might start to worry about your health. ■ Kushikatsu (1 for 100 yen) Surprisingly, the kushikatsu was quite delicious. It was a limited-time offer at 100 yen, which was impressive. I was cautious about dipping the skewers in the sauce twice, as not all customers were doing so, and I used the separately provided container of spicy sauce. Getting excited with Chinchirorin, having kushikatsu for 100 yen... I thought it would be a good place to go with friends for a drink. === [Order] as above 2,500 yen per person ■ Osaka specialty ■ Dish 1 ■ Dish 2 ■ Finale

As a shareholder of this company, I had never visited the restaurant before, so I decided to take a look (I bought the stock at a high price and now I can't sell it, so it's like pickling). The place was crowded with young people, and I had to wait for a while before entering the restaurant. I felt embarrassed writing my name on the list and waiting for my turn. I was seated and received an explanation of the system. I was told not to double-dip the square sauce container and that I would get a free skewer if I became friends on LINE. I ordered a few skewers and tried them while drinking beer. This felt more like a snack than a meal. The batter was thick and reminded me of the fried pork snack I used to get from the candy store as a child. The sauce was sweet, and I felt it was better to eat the skewers without dipping them again. I would never double-dip. This is an example of how someone who rarely goes to chain restaurants ends up visiting one for an unexpected reason and ends up posting a not-so-great review. - The End -

The Kushikatsu Tanaka Shinjuku Sanchome store is always crowded and hard to get into. Today was also busy, but luckily I got in by chance! First, I had beer, edamame, raw green peppers, and pickled mackerel. Before the kushikatsu arrived, I had garlic shochu because I really wanted to drink it at Kushikatsu Tanaka. Then, a large amount of kushikatsu arrived: sanma (Pacific saury), lotus root, shiso roll, asparagus, shrimp, quail egg, pork skewer, cheese, onion, and garlic tempura. I can't remember one of the kushikatsu, probably because of the highball with Chinchirorin. I played it three times and got half off each time! I forgot to take pictures, but I ate a lot and drank a lot for just under 7,000 yen. Kushikatsu Tanaka was wallet-friendly! ✌

I have been to the popular kushikatsu restaurant Tanaka in Drink Pass Sanchome for the third time this month. I go quite frequently because I am a Drink Pass member and can drink at a discount. I usually order various items like onion and beef skewers, as well as thick fried tofu.

I couldn't help but order a second round of freshly fried skewers at Tanaka. I ended up eating more than I expected. My favorite skewers are shrimp, lotus root, and asparagus! It's great that they have seasonal skewers available too. This time, I had 3 glasses of Galichu as my drink of choice. Thank you for the delicious meal!

On a Friday night, I went around the Shinjuku Sanchome area with my work colleagues. We decided to go to Kushikatsu Tanaka for our second stop because we were craving for some kushikatsu. It was crowded due to it being a Friday, but luckily we found an available table and were able to order a variety of kushikatsu to enjoy.

"I resist when it's called 'traditional Osaka taste'. It's a shop that originated in Setagaya and didn't even have stores in Kansai until just five years ago. How can they talk about Osaka tradition? Kansai people must feel the same way when they see a Sapporo or Hakata restaurant from Hokkaido or Kyushu. And to make matters worse, there's a kushikatsu chain that opened at the same time that is terrible. The batter, taste, and service were all awful. Because I went to that chain first, I had a bad prejudice towards this shop too, thinking 'It's probably made by people from Tokyo.' However, the fake chain is always empty and hasn't expanded much. On the other hand, this chain is featured on TV numerous times, the shops are bustling, and they are opening more and more stores. Seeing the young staff working energetically, it's understandable why they are thriving. On the way to the 3rd station, this shop is always crowded but happened to be empty this time, so I thought, 'Let's stop by once.' On my first visit, cabbage and 'no double-dipping sauce' arrived as a complimentary starter. However, the size and depth of the container were such that the skewers couldn't be fully immersed. No double-dipping is a given, but shouldn't the container be shaped so that the skewers can be fully dipped in one go? The batter texture is not bad, and I don't dislike the sauce either. I actually like it. The pickled ginger is also good. I was a bit irritated because the 'edamame' that I expected to come out quickly didn't arrive, but then warm edamame was served, and I was surprised. Irritation turned into amazement. Similarly, the boiled peanuts also came out warm, but the beans were still a bit hard and not that great. What I was looking forward to more than the kushikatsu was the 'katsu udon'. The broth seemed slightly darker than Osaka's, with a stronger soy sauce aroma and sweetness, and the characteristic saltiness seemed a bit weak. On the other hand, I liked the texture of the noodles, and although the broth initially felt strange, it became addictive as I ate more. I liked this. I decided to try the unique service of this restaurant, the 'Chinchirorin Highball', and the first one was free! Feeling good, I ordered a second one, hoping for a free or half-price one. The rule is that even numbers are half-price, odd numbers are at full price, and a 'Mega Highball' for odd numbers. I thought it would be difficult if I got a Mega Highball at full price, but unfortunately, I got an odd number (cries). For the second drink, I ended up with two Mega Highballs, which made my heart race like never before. A little regretful but somehow fun. I wouldn't mind going back for this."

I went with my friend. It was as cheap as rumored, but it was within expectations so I wasn't that surprised. With this kind of affordability, it felt like it could be in Omotesando! The service was decent for the price, perfect for chatting and drinking with friends! We went for the all-you-can-drink option! The kushikatsu starts at 100 yen! The taste was just average, but considering the affordability and convenience, I think it's a great place! I wouldn't wait in line for it though! If I can make a reservation, I would like to go again.

I decided to sit in the space between the glass door and the vinyl sheet outside instead of at a table inside the restaurant, as I remembered how noisy it was inside the last time I visited, making conversation difficult. The staff kindly brought me a knee blanket when they saw me sitting in the cold with my down coat on, which warmed my heart. The taste of the kushikatsu was as delicious as always. The only downside was that the prices for Hoppy were a bit high, with 200 yen for inside and 300 yen for outside. The beer choice was limited to Suntory Malts, but it was the perfect match for the kushikatsu.

- Cheap and delicious! The quality of the ingredients is solid! A reassuring and enjoyable restaurant! - They are open for lunch on weekends! You can drink from noon! Kushiage Tanaka. I've always wanted to try it when I saw it in the city, but I never had the chance. However, after seeing kushiage on TV and hearing about their complete smoking ban, I thought now is the time!! So I decided to go. The Shinjuku 3-chome branch is open for lunch on weekends. They say you can't dip the sauce twice, but they bring a new sauce to each table, so you can enjoy it without worrying too much. Cabbage is all-you-can-eat. I think the freshness of the cabbage shows the restaurant's commitment, and the cabbage here was fresh and good. The kushiage also relies on the quality of the ingredients, and all of them were fresh and of good quality. Even though it's a chain restaurant, I appreciate this attention to detail. The batter is thin, so the flavor of the ingredients stands out. The oyster was especially delicious. The rich umami flavor was amazing. Also, the pickled ginger. They cut the pickled ginger quite thick. Because it's thick, the spiciness is also strong. Delicious! The kushiage is priced at around 120 yen each. It's cheap! I think it's a great place to drink from noon.

I went to a different restaurant than I originally planned because the one I wanted to go to was closed. I arrived around 5 pm and there were hardly any customers, but by before 7 pm it was full. I decided to try the all-you-can-drink option which cost 1350 yen per person on the day. The cabbage appetizer was an additional 250 yen per person. My friend and I ended up eating 18 servings of cabbage! We also enjoyed 4 other appetizers and the octopus yukhoe. The white leek skewers were surprisingly good too. It was a casual and enjoyable dining experience.
