I came to the area along the Semboku Line on a business trip, but I always have a hard time finding a good restaurant. Since there were several of us, I couldn't go to a place that I personally like. My colleague suggested going to Kushi no I, located inside Panjo Takashimaya, so we decided to go there. We all ordered draft beer and the Hachou Gozen set meal. Ah, after work, nothing beats a cold beer. The Hachou Gozen set meal comes with rice and miso soup, and you can get refills. They said the tempura here is better than what you can find in Shinsekai. It's not cheap, but the taste is good. We also ordered some meat croquettes, which were delicious with some kind of beef tendon inside. We added some highballs and enjoyed our drinks before heading back to the hotel. Now, we're going to watch the World Baseball Classic.

The customer service at this restaurant is always polite. During lunchtime, they offer free rice refills, so I ended up getting seconds. The rice was delicious too! I ordered a lunch set and also added some individual items, and I was surprised by the ice cream tempura. It was delicious!

I had the daily lunch course meal. The tempura included 8 pieces: konjac, asparagus, chicken with shiso leaf, kisu fish, snap peas, baron cheese, onion, and squid... No shrimp!? Shrimp is the king, right? (in my opinion) Shocked (>_<) It seems you can add more, but I'm already full... The gentleman next to me seemed very satisfied with his additional tempura and beer from lunch onwards (laughs). It's been a while since I had tempura, and it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Osaka Sakai "Kushi no I" is recommended if you want to eat kushikatsu around here. I stopped by after shopping at Panjo in Semboku. The staff's customer service is good and you can eat comfortably. The manager's smile is also reassuring. - Hachio Gozen @ 1800, the manager's recommended set meal - Shrimp with shiso salt - Squid with sea urchin sauce - Irresistible asparagus - Perfectly fried pork rolls - Soft and sweet onion - Chewy konjac with baby - Crispy seaweed rolls - Normal potatoes - Miso soup with a nice touch of sansho pepper - Unlimited refills of rice and miso soup are the best. The tamago kake gohan (rice with raw egg) ordered separately is also delicious! - Additional orders: - Pacific saury with grated daikon for a refreshing taste - Baron potatoes with cheese and strawberry jam for a sweet treat - Mentaiko (spicy cod roe) with rare pork cutlet - Daikon rolls with kushikatsu #SakaiGourmet #SembokuGourmet #SouthOsakaGourmet #KushiNoI #Panjo #Kushikatsu

Everything is freshly fried and delicious ( ◠‿◠ ) I also recommend the tempura. There are various types of skewers available ( ◠‿◠ ) The sauces are soy sauce and ponzu (╹◡╹) They also have pickles, which are great^ ^ I will visit again soon ( ◠‿◠ )

Today's lunch was at Izumigaoka Panjo, where I had the kushikatsu set meal. The daily lunch course set costs 1639 yen and comes with rice that you can refill. Although kushikatsu and rice don't really go well together, I was asked if I wanted a refill and I couldn't resist, so I said yes. The kushikatsu included 8 skewers of beef, asparagus wrapped in bacon, konnyaku, shrimp, cream cheese, squid, sweet potato, and onion. It was quite a variety! The regular daily lunch set was more than enough for me. The restaurant is called Ajihachi Kushi no I Panjo branch.

I had the lunch set meal for 1100 yen. It came with 5 pieces of pork cutlet skewers. You can get free refills of rice and miso soup. It also came with salad and pickles. The set included konjac, pork-stuffed bell pepper, shrimp, and onion. Everything was crispy and delicious!

I visited for lunch ^ ^ I love asparagus, so I chose the "Yama no Megumi Zen" which includes asparagus. My companion chose the service set. The "Yama no Megumi Zen" included 6 types of skewers: asparagus, onion, lotus root, potato bacon, stuffed green pepper, and shishito pepper. It seems the contents change depending on the season. It was slightly different from the display. You can also get refills of miso soup and rice. The skewers at this restaurant have a light and crispy coating. The prices are reasonable for lunch ^ ^ Thank you for the meal!

This shop is a kushikatsu restaurant located in Izumi-kita Panjoresto Street. They serve lunch until 4 pm and stay open late, so you can easily enjoy a meal even if it's late for lunch. It's my favorite place that I have visited countless times. My son and I missed lunch as I went to pick him up from the station, so we decided to have a late lunch here. We ordered the following menu items: Kodemari for 1230 yen (tax included) - 6 pieces of kushikatsu with rice, miso soup, pickles, and salad; Daily lunch course Zenzai for 1520 yen (tax included) - rice, miso soup, small dishes, pickles, and salad, including creative kushikatsu with seafood and mountain delicacies, and 8 types of kushikatsu served in order. You can enjoy a course-like feeling during lunch, making it a great value. The breadcrumbs are fine, crispy, and very delicious. You can have seconds of rice and miso soup. It was a delicious meal.

The most popular restaurant in the Izumi Kita Panjo restaurant district is definitely the yakiniku restaurant Yakiniku Shokyu En Panjo branch. We had a dinner of kushikatsu, non-stop course, where they keep bringing food until you say you can't eat anymore. This time we had non-alcoholic drinks while eating, and vegetables were all-you-can-eat. We ate a total of 21 skewers, including beef, onion, foie gras, okra, conger eel, shrimp, bitter melon, burdock, eel roll, shimeji mushroom, sesame tofu, squid, sandfish, konjac with crab curry flavor, crab yuba roll, asparagus mochi, salmon, tonhle, and potato with mentaiko. We tried our best and gave up at 21 skewers. The photos don't really show much difference, except for the crab yuba roll wrapped in aluminum foil. The lotus root stuffed with curry flavor was delicious. We are stuffed now. We ended with ice cream. Thank you for the meal!

"Minami Osaka Sake Up Team" Kanmi ♪ here. I love Minamikawachi, surrounded by mandarin oranges and vineyards. There are plenty of greenery and delicious ingredients in this tranquil area. Currently, I am exploring delicious restaurants in Sakai, Senshu, and Minamikawachi. I encounter many delicious restaurants saying, "Yummy!" There are many encounters with delicious specialty products in Minami Osaka such as Osaka mandarins, Osaka grapes (Delaware, Kyoho, Pione), Senshu onions, Senshu cabbage, Senshu water eggplant, Osaka edamame, young burdock, Osaka bamboo shoots, Osaka peaches, Osaka figs. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [Visit in November 2014] I had some business in Izumigaoka, so I quickly drove there! After shopping at Izumikita Takashimaya, I had lunch at the restaurant street in Panjo. The lunch at the kushikatsu restaurant is a well-balanced set of seasonal delicious ingredients (meat, vegetables, seafood), so it is very satisfying! The kushikatsu, fried crispy, can be enjoyed in various ways such as with salt, sauce, sesame sauce, or grated ponzu. It is surprisingly light as it is fried at high temperature. Particularly, vegetables like asparagus and onions retain their flavor and are delicious! ■ 8-piece daily lunch course meal 1520 yen * Change to tempura +210 yen

This is a restaurant located in Izumikita Panjo that serves kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers). I tried their kushikatsu course meal, where they keep frying seasonal ingredients until you say stop. It's exciting to wait and see what will come next in the course. Their creative kushikatsu is different in taste and filling compared to regular kushikatsu. Even when I'm full, I always end up saying "just one more" because it's so delicious (laughs). Each skewer is served with a different sauce, making it very authentic! They are famous for their tempura rice balls. I always take them home as souvenirs. Both the kushikatsu and tempura rice balls are very delicious, so please try them out!

On January 13, Heisei 25 (Sunday), I received a phone call from my childhood friend Ken-chan inviting me to come over, so my mother and I headed to Sakai! As usual, we brought Bordeaux/Saint-Émilion classified wine as a gift, probably Ken-chan won't know it's a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru! Kind Ken-chan is always invited to tasting events and ends up bulk buying there! His cellar is filled with about 40 bottles of cheap wine bought at a high price, with the overflow stored in a corner of his room! Today, I was in charge of inspecting them! Recently, I purchased 6 bottles of Vin de Pays d'Oc wine and various other wines? More like grape juice level ones for around 100,000 yen! Even though I told him to stop buying there, Ken-chan defends the store saying it's out of obligation! So, in a way, I'm impressed that he has put up with it for 50 years, but --- Now, from 5 pm, we were taken by Ken-chan's wife to this kushikatsu restaurant in Izumigaoka! Izumigaoka is a nostalgic place where I used to tutor during my student days! We started with an aperitif (Chardonnay), then moved on to beer and Chilean wine! Ken-chan's wife kept ordering kushikatsu one after another --- My role was to cancel them multiple times in between! Well, the table was always full of food! Ken-chan and I enjoyed kushikatsu with Chilean wine! The price of the wine bottle was so cheap! Cheers to Chile in this situation! The restaurant is great too! There, I explained in detail to Ken-chan how he is buying expensive wine from tasting events of this level of wine! But I always lose, it ends with "Ken-chan, are you stupid?" (laughs) I have a meal with Ken-chan's couple at least once a month, but Ken-chan always ends up staggering, or rather, completely drunk! Today, I had a fun time being led by his wife. Thank you for the meal.

In 2013, I had my first kushikatsu of the year at a restaurant called Kushinoi in Izumisano, which I reached by taking three different trains from my home in northern Osaka. The restaurant had a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, with a mascot character theme. My husband's childhood friend Ken and his wife took us there, and we enjoyed a variety of delicious kushikatsu dishes. The prices were reasonable, starting at just 100 yen per skewer. We usually eat at more traditional Osaka restaurants, but we loved the relaxed atmosphere and the tasty kushikatsu at Kushinoi. It was a delightful experience, made even better by the company of good friends. The day before our visit, Ken's wife called to check on my husband, who was feeling under the weather. She jokingly scolded him for staying in bed all day, but thankfully it was just a minor cold, so we were able to go out and enjoy a wonderful meal together. We met in Namba, sampled some wine at Ken's house, and then headed to Kushinoi for dinner. It was a fantastic evening, and we left feeling very satisfied. Thank you to Ken and his wife for a great time!

On March 8, 2012 (Thursday) at 12:00 PM, we went to a kushikatsu restaurant on the 4th floor of Izumiya Hankyu Panjo. My wife ordered kushikatsu with tempura on the side. It looks delicious. She got 5 kushikatsu skewers. I ordered the kushikatsu lunch course, which came with 4 skewers. Two types of sauce were served on the plate. As we were eating our meal, two skewers were brought to us. Then, two more skewers were brought to us. Eating rice with kushikatsu is quite a challenge, isn't it? The kushikatsu here is affordable, so the taste is decent. Thank you for the meal.

I went to Ajihachi Kushi no I at Panjo (Izumikita Takashimaya SC) with my parents. We had visited before, but I was feeling unwell that time, so I couldn't enjoy it fully. This time, I was in top form, along with my kids, ready to see how much we could eat. They offer set menus, but we opted for the all-you-can-eat option where they keep serving different fried items until you say stop. The pace was good, with items coming out at regular intervals. We tried about 26 out of the 32 items available that day, including unique ones like shiitake mushrooms with ginger-flavored minced meat, asparagus wrapped in bacon, and camembert cheese with strawberry jam. We also had a small dessert of ice cream at the end. The restaurant was quite busy, with mostly families enjoying the various menu options.

It's neither good nor bad, just average. There are no new menu items but nothing is lacking either. It's fine if you feel like having some kushikatsu, but not suitable for when you really crave it or for a date. It's okay for a family outing when you can't decide where to eat. The courses are flexible, so the omakase course is good for people who have dislikes, and there's a course where you can choose only the items you like to be fried, which is nice.

I went to this restaurant because it's nearby, and it was delicious. Unlike famous kushikatsu places, the batter here is light and crispy, allowing you to enjoy as many skewers as you want. I've known this place since the previous owner 30 years ago, and it has always been delicious. It holds special memories for me, making it a comfortable and welcoming place. My favorite is sitting at the counter and enjoying the hot and crispy skewers. They fry them according to your eating speed, which is very satisfying. Both my family and I had around 28 skewers each, which was definitely too much. My child especially looks forward to the ice cream skewers at the end. It has become a favorite for all of us.
