Located near Susukino, this long-established kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers) restaurant is situated along Minami 3-jo Street near Norbesa. Despite its old-fashioned exterior, the interior is surprisingly clean and well-maintained, with a retro Showa-era atmosphere. The restaurant offers counter seats, table seats, and raised tatami seating. Although we were able to get a table without a reservation, it's advisable to book in advance as it tends to fill up quickly due to its popularity. Inside, you can watch the male chef diligently frying the skewers while the female staff efficiently take orders and serve dishes. The menu isn't extensive, but every dish we've tried has been consistently delicious. In particular, the kushikatsu is a standout item. During our visit, my wife and I enjoyed the kushikatsu, hirekatsu (pork cutlet), onion skewers, Chisato zangi (fried chicken), potato fries, assorted fried dishes, edamame, and trefoil salad, all of which were satisfyingly tasty. While there are many places offering cheap kushikatsu nowadays, I personally prefer this restaurant for its quality. Highly recommended for those craving delicious kushikatsu.

I went with a customer. There was no set menu, so we just asked for recommendations. First, a sashimi platter was served, very fresh and delicious. The pickles were also good. Then, various skewers were brought out and everyone, including the customer, was pleasantly surprised by how tasty they were. The skewers were soft, crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The chef wore a Western-style hat, giving the place a classy vibe. The beer, sake, and highballs were all delicious, and the seafood dishes were also amazing. The only downside was that the air conditioning wasn't working well, but overall it was a perfect dining experience.

After enjoying Yamada Mongolia in Tanukikoji, I made a reservation at the long-established Sapporo restaurant, Kushikatsu Senri. This place has the atmosphere of a Showa-era downtown tavern, run by a friendly elderly couple and their family. The head chef, who used to work in Sapporo, was delighted to hear about the time he spent there. We started with a toast of beer and ordered a variety of kushikatsu, including: - Kushikatsu (3 skewers for 690 yen) - Tuna kushikatsu (3 skewers for 690 yen) - Shrimp kushikatsu (3 skewers for 750 yen) - Pork fillet kushikatsu (3 skewers for 750 yen) We also had three glasses of draft beer and highballs. The kushikatsu here is made with carefully prepared ingredients, fried to a crispy texture that is incredibly delicious! The herb pork is juicy and the shrimp is firm and fresh. This kushikatsu is on a different level compared to the chain restaurant versions, with rich flavors and high-quality ingredients. The homely atmosphere added to the enjoyment of the meal. Thank you for the delicious meal.

On a Saturday night around 6:00 PM, I peeked into the restaurant wondering if I could get a seat, and luckily there was one available. I was so happy. I started with a beer, ohitashi, and tofu. Then I had skewers, hirakatsu, mushrooms, and onions. Everything was delicious without a doubt. I always love the vegetable skewers here. The mushrooms and onions were piping hot, bringing out the flavors of the vegetables. I also tried zangi and aji fry for the first time, and they were delicious too. The zangi was easy to eat and the ingredients' flavors stood out. The aji fry here is also very tasty. It paired perfectly with white rice. Thank you for the meal.

I had been wanting to go here for a while. I decided to go on a weekday night around 8:30 PM without making a reservation. I was able to get a table, but the restaurant was quite busy. The deep-fried skewers were delicious with a crispy and fluffy texture. I tried a variety of dishes, but the tuna skewer and fillet cutlet were especially tasty. The squid sashimi in the assorted sashimi plate was so fresh and delicious. However, it was a bit difficult to get the attention of the staff for drink orders. I would like to go on a less busy day, but it seems like a popular spot so it might be hard to do so.

I had always been curious about this restaurant, so I decided to go there for a second round of drinks. As I entered, I saw a white-clad chef diligently skewering meat right in front of the counter. I ordered a bottle of beer and looked at the menu, and the chef asked me what I wanted to eat with a hungry look. I decided to order some skewered pork cutlets and pork tenderloin cutlets, along with some edamame while waiting. The edamame was a bit watery, but when the skewers arrived, I was blown away by how delicious they were. The batter was thin and crispy without being greasy, and the pork tenderloin was cooked to a perfect pink. It was possibly the best skewered pork cutlet I had ever eaten. The pork tenderloin cutlet was also incredibly delicious. I was already full, but I couldn't resist ordering some onion rings and shrimp. The onions were sweet, and the shrimp was juicy. I wished there was salt on the table to dip them in. The sauce alone was delicious. I also enjoyed some sake, and I was truly impressed by the amazing food and drinks. I was completely satisfied. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I went to various places, but when I felt like eating kushikatsu, I didn't hesitate and went straight to Senri-san! The beer is ice cold too! The onion kushikatsu is sweet and crispy, so delicious! The kushikatsu, aji fry, everything was amazing. I replenished my taurine with the octopus vinegar miso. The zangi was my first time trying it! I will definitely come back for the delicious kushikatsu. Thank you for the meal! ★

Wednesday, the middle of the week. I went to Senrisan with a colleague to enjoy some delicious food after 6:00 PM. Luckily, there were only two seats available and we were seated right away. - Asparagus Tempura: It's in season and the asparagus wrapped in crispy batter was delicious. - Kushiage: I remembered how tasty it was last time, so we ordered kushi katsu, kushi maguro, kushi onion, and kushi mushroom, along with a hirakatsu. They were all exquisite! I even finished three glasses of beer. The hot mushroom was great, but personally, I recommend the onion. - Mitsuba Ohitashi: I had it before and it was delicious. The aroma and flavor were just right. I was satisfied once again! Thank you for the meal.

Established in 1955, this traditional kushikatsu restaurant was a delightful find. Despite initially intending to resist temptation and have ramen for a nightcap, I couldn't resist stopping by this long-standing establishment on my way home. The retro Showa-era atmosphere inside was charming, with a few counter seats and tables. I ordered a refreshing bottle of beer (670 yen), kushikatsu skewers (210 yen each), tenderloin katsu (250 yen), and asparagus tempura (500 yen). Each skewer was freshly fried and served with a choice of sauces, soy sauce, or salt. The crispy and flavorful kushikatsu was a hit! Although I only stayed for about 30 minutes, I can confidently say this place is a gem. It's affordable, has a great vibe, and I'll definitely be revisiting as a first stop next time.

I had some delicious kushikatsu in Osaka and wanted to find a good restaurant in Sapporo. I remembered a place my senior took me to about 10 years ago and decided to visit today. The kushikatsu was amazing, with a perfect balance of crispy coating, thick juicy meat, and rich flavor. It's incredible how delicious hot kushikatsu can be. The vegetable kushikatsu, made with onions and mushrooms, was also very tasty. Frying brought out the sweetness and umami of the vegetables. Enjoying a bottle of beer with some boiled trefoil was enough to make me happy. The ambiance of the restaurant was also beautiful. Sitting at the counter, I could watch the chef fry the skewers, which was very satisfying. I will definitely visit this place again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I was nervous before entering the restaurant. I was surprised when I looked up the restaurant - it's a long-established store founded in 1955! I had a feeling that they might say "no first-time customers allowed" but once I entered, I felt at ease. The staff were kind and polite, although they moved quickly, probably because they have many regular customers. If you order efficiently, you'll be fine! Since it was my first time, I quickly ordered a variety of skewers - skewered pork cutlet, skewered shrimp, skewered tuna, pork fillet cutlet, and Senri Zangi (fried chicken). Everything was delicious! The skewers were quite large! I had the pork cutlet with sauce, and the shrimp and tuna with soy sauce. They also went well with lemon sour and lime sour! The first floor can accommodate 2-3 people, and although I couldn't see the second floor, I did see a group of 4 customers coming down. It might be best to visit in small groups. I wonder if they accept reservations? It was a very satisfying 90 minutes! Thank you for the meal!

After a great meeting, we were feeling hungry and decided to go to Chisato's kushikatsu shop. We sat in the cozy private room on the second floor and enjoyed the delicious kushikatsu. It was so tasty! We easily devoured 10 skewers each.

When I became aware of things, I feel like this long-established kushikatsu restaurant was already here. The first drinking party of my seminar right after entering university was also held here. When I looked it up, it was founded in the Showa era (around 1955), before I was even born. Well, I casually walked in without a reservation to this place that I haven't been to in a while, and I'm glad to see that it has become a non-smoking establishment. As expected from a popular long-standing restaurant, it was almost full, and the nostalgic Showa-era interior had a charming atmosphere. I ordered a highball (420 yen incl. tax) and the "Potato Salad (470 yen incl. tax)." It's hard to call this place a "cheap drinking spot" with these prices, but the presentation was cute with crunchy cucumbers, tomatoes, shredded cabbage, and a mayo-heavy potato salad that was a bit mushy. The "Pickled Chinese Cabbage (410 yen incl. tax)" was the usual standard item. The "Shrimp Skewer (1 piece, 230 yen incl. tax)"... I think it's the first time I've seen a shrimp skewered in a round shape like that, isn't it because of the material they're using?? I won't say more, but... The "Kushikatsu (1 piece, 210 yen incl. tax)" was crispy and hot, with a good texture and crunchiness, and the addition of spicy mustard was a nice touch. I poured some sauce over it, but the taste and texture revealed a strong presence of fatty meat inside, and when I removed the coating, I saw thinly sliced pork belly in a mille-feuille style. Is this okay?? Nowadays, there are many restaurants that serve kushikatsu very well, like Kushikatsu Tanaka or Ebisu Shokudo, in the midst of this, right? As a long-established restaurant, you want to say, "Yep, this is the place." Thank you for the meal.

After leaving the Popura-kan in Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, we headed to a second party full of men. A friend was staying near this restaurant, so we decided to go in. We ordered: Pork Cutlet for ¥250 each, Fried Oysters for ¥620, Kushi-katsu for ¥210, Kushi-tamanegi for ¥140 each, and a sashimi assortment for ¥970. Even though we were already full, the crispy coating of the cutlets made us crave more. Eating cutlets and drinking really makes us feel like old men reminiscing about the past. The sashimi was also delicious, with the fish being firm and flavorful. Since the first party was all about meat, the seafood was a nice change. We ended up ordering a bottle and will definitely come back again. It was a second party atmosphere, but we had a great time. With bottles available, the next time we might start from the first party, or maybe even have a daytime drinking session. Regardless, we need to go back before the good times run out. Thank you for the delicious meal!

"It's been a while since I visited "Kushikatsu Senri"! I arrived around 6:00 PM and was lucky to get a seat right away as it wasn't too crowded, but they were turning away walk-ins without reservations, with over 20 groups already waiting. So, it's safer to make a reservation in advance. I started with a refreshing "Highball @420 yen", which had a strong and fizzy taste. Feeling quite hungry that day, I decided to order a variety of dishes. First, the "Assorted Sashimi Plate @970 yen" which included tuna, marinated mackerel, soy sauce-marinated fish, octopus, and squid - all fresh and high-quality, though the slices were small. It looked luxurious and was a great deal for the price. Next, the "Deep-fried Skewers" - "Kushikatsu @210 yen", "Tuna Skewer @230 yen", "Shrimp Skewer @230 yen", and "Mushroom Skewer @230 yen". The kushikatsu was tender, tuna was flavorful, shrimp was juicy, and the mushroom was juicy - all crispy and delicious without being too heavy. The Highball was going down smoothly! I also tried the "Tempura of True Cod @660 yen", a must-have during the winter. It had a creamy texture and tasted amazing, especially with salt. I lost count of how many Highballs I had, but later switched to "Cup Sake @250 yen" and was very satisfied. The restaurant has a nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere, and the friendly service from the older ladies added to the experience. Despite the long break, the consistent quality of the food left me satisfied. It was a delicious meal, thank you!"

It's a kushikatsu restaurant near Tanuki Koji. You can enjoy freshly fried, cheap and delicious kushikatsu. The oil is not too heavy, so you can eat as many skewers as you want. It's a popular place, so it can get crowded, but if you go early, you can get in without waiting. You can enjoy elegant kushikatsu with great cost performance.

Today's fourth stop on our drinking tour is at Kushikatsu Senri. We started off as just one person, but now we're a group of three. The kushikatsu here is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, absolutely delicious. The menu is a bit limited, but it's perfect for snacking while drinking. We didn't overeat and are ready to move on to our next spot. Thanks for the meal.

Last time, I visited this restaurant while quite drunk for the second time, so I barely remembered it. This time, I made sure to remember my visit from the first time. The restaurant opened at 5:00 PM, and when I arrived about 5 minutes later, it was already almost full. Customers kept coming in one after another, and they even had to turn away some groups. Since we were only a party of two and they don't take reservations, it was all down to luck if we could get a table after the opening rush. This time, we ordered kushikatsu, kushimaguro, kushiebi, and geso nanban. All the fried dishes had a nice, crispy coating that wasn't too thick, making them easy to eat without feeling too greasy. The katsu was incredibly tender, the maguro was thick and flavorful, and the ebi was plump and juicy. Everything was delicious. I wondered why the katsu was so tender, and upon closer inspection, I noticed that it was layered like a mille-feuille. Ah, so that's why it's so tender as a mille-feuille katsu. Very tasty. The menu is limited, and they don't offer all-you-can-drink options, but I was completely satisfied. If you love kushikatsu, it's worth a visit. I'll definitely come back aiming for the opening time.

I was walking along Tanukikoji without making a reservation, looking for a dinner place, when I saw a sign for Senri and it looked like they had seats available. I decided to go in and as always, Senri's kushikatsu is delicious! The zangi is also really tasty. It's no wonder they sell out quickly.

Met up with a friend of mine from the past ten years for a second party here at 8:00 PM. Luckily managed to get in and just made it to our seats. First things first, drinks! And some amazing skewered cutlets! Cheers with the skewers and my brain is melting from the doping effect of the deliciousness! It's like a junkie's paradise here! The menu is limited but there are plenty of other tasty options so you won't get bored. Seriously, I can't get enough of these skewered cutlets! It was so delicious after a long time~

I wanted to go to this restaurant. They were doing social distancing, which made me happy. I was wondering if there would be any available seats since this place is always crowded. But, to my surprise, it was empty! I was so happy. I heard that even women dining alone come here. It seems like there are more places like this now. The atmosphere inside was lively, with a variety of deep-fried skewers and sake. I love this kind of vibe. I ordered skewer cutlets for 210 yen, tuna skewers for 230 yen, deep-fried squid for 450 yen, squid for 640 yen, three-leaf salad for 470 yen, and sake. The appearance of the dishes was hard to tell because they were deep-fried, but when I took a bite, it was amazing. The skewer cutlet was unbelievably soft and juicy, unlike anything I've had before. It's sure to impress those who enjoy drinking. The other fried and skewered dishes were also incredibly delicious. The drinks were going down smoothly. What is this place? I might just stumble in here again in the future. It was dangerously good. Thank you for the delicious meal.
