Visited with two presidents from the Kanto region and a partner, making a total of four people. It was a weekday but the restaurant was fully booked. We opted for the all-you-can-drink course which included glass wine, as we are all heavy drinkers. The course included 11 skewers and all-you-can-drink for 5770 yen. I was worried if I could eat all 11 skewers as I am not good with oily and fatty foods, but they were light and not greasy at all, so I had no problem finishing them all. It's no wonder this restaurant is affiliated with the Michelin one-star restaurant "Kushikatsu Bon" which has been featured for 8 consecutive years. I only had white wine, but it was delicious. You can choose between tea soba or rice as the finishing dish, with dessert included. Unfortunately, I forgot what dessert was served as I didn't eat it, and I couldn't take any photos or notes as they got deleted. Maybe being a food blogger is not for me. For your information, they have branches in Umeda, Namba in Kansai, and Nakameguro, Ginza in Kanto. The lunch menu is more affordable. It was delicious. I will definitely come back. Thank you for the meal!

Dinner was at a tempura skewer restaurant that I had made a reservation at. It is affiliated with the high-end tempura skewer restaurant Bon, but this one is more reasonably priced. I ordered the Dan set with 13 skewers. The Dan set includes this month's recommended skewers, premium black wagyu beef fillet, angel shrimp, and a rare cut of the day. I mentioned my dislikes in advance, and they were very accommodating and considerate. Unlike the tempura skewers in Nagoya, the coating here is light and fluffy, not heavy and greasy, so you can eat as much as you want. The black wagyu beef fillet was delicious! They also had unique skewers like takoyaki, which was creamy and tasty. Lastly, we added a mini minced cutlet burger that I had seen online and was curious about. It was cute and tasty. For the finishing touch, we chose the egg over rice from three options. Surprisingly, it was delicious! The egg was flavorful without any off-putting smell. Both of us finished everything. For dessert, we tried the rare sweet potato ice cream, which was unexpectedly delicious! We were satisfied throughout the meal and definitely want to visit this restaurant again.

I have been to this restaurant more than 20 times ✩ This year is only my third visit!! I used to think that deep-fried skewers might make me feel heavy or give me indigestion, but the ones here are surprisingly light and delicious ♡ so I can eat a lot!! They have a variety of unique options and the quality is great ♡ The cost performance is good and it's easy to make a reservation ✩ so it's a convenient place to go ♥ I highly recommend it~♬ As for dessert, this time I had deep-fried mochi after a long time and it was so delicious! I ended up eating two pieces~!! However, this time the shapes of the deep-fried skewers were a bit uneven compared to usual and the burgers were quite small. I've been here many times, so I hope the quality will improve a bit next time ✩

I visited the restaurant with my family! The adults ordered a course meal while the kids ordered a children's set! The atmosphere inside was calm and had an adult vibe! The staff were all very kind, and we had a great time! The kushikatsu was delicious, especially the crab claws which we couldn't stop eating! We will definitely visit again! Thank you for the meal!

I visited for lunch. The restaurant was full and there were many female customers. The interior was clean and cozy. The location is perfect! The skewers were delicious and filling, so I felt satisfied. I think it's a great place for a slightly luxurious lunch or business meeting in Umeda. Thank you for the meal.

I had the 1980 yen course, which was light and crispy with a delightful texture that didn't leave me feeling heavy. Each skewer was carefully crafted and I was excited to see what would come next. The last minced cutlet sandwich was almost too cute to eat! The seasonal rice was also delicious and you could have seconds. The staff were attentive and quick to offer more food. I would love to go back when the season changes! Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I made a reservation for a luxurious course lunch with my mother and we enjoyed it together. The tempura was made with high-quality ingredients and freshly fried, very delicious. Especially, the black wagyu beef was sweet and delicious with its meaty oil. I tried lotus root for the first time and enjoyed its crispy texture. The onions from Awaji Island were also sweet and tasty. It was fun to try new ingredients during the meal. We started with fresh vegetables, Manjuya chili peppers, rice with whitebait, and miso soup. The rice was refillable and came with dashi soy sauce, mustard, sauce, and Himalayan rock salt. The rice with Manjuya chili peppers had a nice flavor with bonito flakes as a good accent, so I had seconds. The miso soup had a strong dashi flavor and was delicious. The staff were attentive, refilling our water and tea, and reminding us about rice refills. It was a lovely restaurant with great hospitality.

I made a reservation for the 7870 yen all-you-can-drink course with 15 skewers! Every skewer was delicious and amazing. For the finale, I could choose between egg over rice, grated yam rice, or green tea soba. Even the dessert was delicious and I finished it all with satisfaction.

The lunch course at this skewer restaurant is incredibly cost-effective and delicious, with 10 skewers and the option for free rice refills. The skewers were tasty and varied, and I left very satisfied. Despite it being a weekday, the restaurant was quite busy and turning away customers, so making a reservation is a must.

We went to a sister restaurant of Dansan, a delicious kushikatsu restaurant in Ishibashi, located in Umeda with my drinking buddies! We had a dinner course. The kushikatsu here comes out at the perfect timing and is delicious! The balance between vegetables, seafood, and meat is great, making it enjoyable to drink! My companion loves angel prawns, so they were very happy! I personally enjoyed the charming pork and tartar kiss! We had a luxurious kushikatsu experience, perfect for adult drinking! My companion also tried the fried ice cream and minced cutlet burger, which they said were delicious! This is a restaurant that I would love to visit again and again! Thank you for the meal!

There is a casual feel within the authentic atmosphere! The menu starts with deep-fried tuna sushi, which is innovative! The following dishes have just the right amount of oil in the batter, allowing the freshness of the ingredients to shine through - truly artisanal! Personally, I recommend the deep-fried asparagus skewers! It's a stylish and relaxing place to enjoy drinks!

Second visit. First time with family, this time with my boyfriend. The skewers are all delicious and never get boring! Not just the appearance, but the taste is guaranteed too! Highly recommended for a date!!! I don't think there's anyone who wouldn't like it ( ᐡ. ̫ .ᐡ )

This is a restaurant I visit often as a regular customer! This time, I visited for a friend's baby shower celebration✩ The atmosphere of the restaurant is excellent! We had made a reservation in advance for a large group, so we got a private room♡ Perfect for a girls' night out or a date! The food is all delicious, especially the rare cuts, fresh wheat gluten, seafood specials, lotus root, and kiss fish! You can order both courses and a la carte dishes, but I prefer to order a la carte so I can choose my favorites. The course menu is served until you say stop! Since it was a celebration, we had the cake and gift kept at the restaurant, and the surprise was a great success♥ I really love this highly recommended restaurant♬

It was a great decision to make a reservation for skewers for Mother's Day. The restaurant was fully booked and offered a variety of skewers, from classic to unique options. Each skewer was delicious and carefully prepared. Personal favorites were the menchi katsu burger, asparagus, white miso-grilled chicken, and Chinese-style croquette with squid and mushrooms. The ginger-infused rice at the end was also incredibly delicious! I later found out that the restaurant has a Michelin star.

Visited a restaurant that serves creative kushikatsu. Opted for the 2,900 yen lunch course which included 13 different kushikatsu skewers served one by one, along with rice, miso soup, and pickles. The rice was cooked with dashi and topped with shirasu (baby sardines) and beans, which was delicious. The kushikatsu skewers were also unique and tasty, with many of them having an extra touch added to them. Enjoyed the meal while getting refills on the rice.

I have been repeating many times ♡ a shop I often visit! It is located in Umeda, directly connected to Hankyu, making it easily accessible. It gets crowded on weekends, so reservations are a must! It's a popular shop where you might not be able to get in depending on the time even on weekdays. The affiliated restaurant has won one Michelin star! The hospitality is great! It's a wonderful and delicious shop! The tempura is all very delicious ♡ There is a monthly limited menu that is fun - the seasonal dishes change every time and it's exciting! The drinks are rich and delicious - the best! I love this place ♥ Especially recommended are the rare cuts such as tenderloin, kisu (sillago fish), and nama-fu (wheat gluten)! The kisu with tartar sauce and nama-fu with white miso are recommended to order with extra sauce, and they always remember and give you extra! The ever-changing rare cuts are incredibly juicy and the sauce is amazing! Please try it out!

Kushiage Kitchen Dan Umeda Store Access: 1 minute walk from Umeda Station Recommended for: Drinking parties, meals, dates, solo dining, families Omakase course: Starting from 4180 yen for 10 skewers Sister restaurant of the Michelin-starred Kushiage Bon, Kushiage Kitchen Dan offers high-quality ingredients such as wagyu beef and angel prawns at a relatively reasonable price compared to Kushiage Bon. The atmosphere is slightly more casual and cozy than Kushiage Bon. We had over 20 skewers on this visit, and despite that, the oil was light and the flavors were refreshing, making it easy on the stomach. We tried a variety of skewers, including sushi tempura, pork fillet, seafood specials, negi onion, angel prawns, black wagyu beef, and more. There are also table seats available, making it a great place to hang out with friends or for a date. Thank you for the delicious meal! #KushiageKitchenDan #KushiageKitchenDanUmedaStore #Kushiage #Skewers #UmedaGourmet #UmedaDinner #UmedaKushiage #OsakaGourmet #OsakaSightseeing #OsakaGourmetTrip #OsakaGourmetTour #GourmetObi #Gourmet #JapaneseFood #JapaneseRestaurant #FoodPorn #Instafood #WantToConnectWithGourmetPeople #WantToConnectWithGourmetLovers #DeliciousFood #FoodPorn #JapaneseCuisine #OsakaFood #OsakaGourmet

The restaurant was conveniently located near the station, had a clean interior, pleasant service, delicious food, and exceeded expectations overall. Even on less busy days, we were able to secure a table for three by making a reservation in advance. The skewers were elaborately prepared and offered good value for lunch.

I made a reservation with a friend for a course that cost around 4,500 yen. It came with a choice of appetizer and dessert. We enjoyed some unique dishes like fuki and wheat gluten. The dessert, fried ice cream, wasn't to my liking though. However, there were some issues with the service such as no explanation of the sauces, water not being served after ordering, and almost having our additional skewers taken away. The restaurant seems new, so I understand that the service may still be improving. Maybe they need to work on better communication. Also, it might be my fault, but I accidentally dropped the wet towel on my lap because I didn't know it was already opened for me. The place is stylish, but for the price I paid, I don't think I would go back. The alcohol was also quite expensive...

Today, I arrived in Osaka the day before a meeting tomorrow. I did some research in advance to find a delicious meal unique to Osaka, made a reservation on Tabelog, and used my accumulated 3,000 Tabelog points. Additionally, by presenting an antigen test certificate at the accommodation, I could receive a 3,000 yen national travel support area coupon, so I looked for a restaurant where I could use that too. Since I enjoy drinking alcohol, I searched for a plan around 6,000 yen with all-you-can-drink. I made a reservation, so I felt at ease traveling from Fukuoka to Osaka by Shinkansen. Osaka has a redevelopment project in front of the station that is several times larger than Fukuoka's Tenjin Big Bang, which made it a bit challenging to find the restaurant, but I managed to arrive on time after a bit of a run. I was seated at the counter, and surprisingly, you can now make all-you-can-drink reservations even for one person. The restaurant was very busy and mostly filled with couples, giving it a date-like atmosphere. Amidst this, there was an older man taking photos of his food and drinking beer, which caught the attention of the manager who engaged him in conversation, making the drinking experience very enjoyable. The food was different from the image I had in mind when I heard "kushikatsu" – it was delicate and meticulously crafted, each piece offering a delightful taste. After 13 skewers were served one after another, we had a rice dish and dessert. We could choose each, so I went with "mackerel mixed rice" for the rice dish and "sweet potato ice cream" for dessert. Even when the ordering time for all-you-can-drink was over, the manager said we could order one more drink, so I ended with a hot sake. It was a very pleasant restaurant experience. Despite eating and drinking so much, I only had to pay 50 yen in cash. I felt like I got a great deal. As I left, the manager saw me off. Apparently, there is a sister restaurant called "Ginza Kushikatsu Bon" in Ginza. I would like to visit there next time.

You can only enjoy a variety of freshly fried kushikatsu at this place! From basic kushikatsu to creative ones, they were all extremely delicious! It is conveniently located near Umeda Station with easy access. There are also many izakayas nearby, making it a great place for bar hopping!

Located under the elevated railway after passing through Hankyu Sanbangai, is the Tempura Kitchen Dan Umeda branch. I visited for lunch as the final meal of my Osaka trip. Here, Osaka's kushikatsu culture is transformed into a casual and modern experience. This is the sister restaurant of the Michelin-starred kushikatsu restaurant, Kushikatsu Bon. For lunch, I chose the set menu of 10 skewers for 1800 yen. It came with unlimited refills of chestnut rice, miso soup, and fresh vegetables. To start off the meal, I ordered sparkling wine and white wine. The skewers were served with salt, dashi soy sauce, and mustard, and the staff guided me on which sauce to use for each skewer. The skewers included autumn salmon, onions from Awaji Island, pork fillet, angel shrimp, foie gras and rare beef, taro, porcini gratin, asparagus, menchi-katsu slider, and fresh wheat gluten. Each skewer had its own unique flavor and the overall cost performance was outstanding at 1800 yen for such a variety. The skewers were more of a creative take on tempura rather than the traditional Osaka-style kushikatsu. They were delicious without being too overpowering. The portion size was just right and I left feeling very satisfied. It seems there is also a branch in Naka-Meguro, Tokyo, so I will definitely visit there when I'm craving this delicious tempura again.
