Kushikatsu (fried skewer) sounds like a Osaka speciality but I recently saw on the TV that many people came to Tokyo and had Kushikatsu for the first time.

But anyway, Kushiage is thought to be more expensive than Kushikatsu.

I found a restaurant in Ebisu where Kushiage is offered at a reasonable price.

There were many young couples, businessmen, and foreigners.

There are booths, horigotatsu (low table over a hole in the floor), counter-seats and private rooms.

If you choose counter-seats, you get to see the Kushiage being fried in your eyes.

You can order the items separately but I recommend the Omakase course (¥3800 or ¥4800)

Both have 8 Kushiage with a la carte.

You’re stomach will be full after eating Jako-gohan (small fish rice).

I think it’s a good idea to order other a la carte after finishing the course menus.

This is what ¥3800 course look like:
-vegetable stick
-two appetizers
-four seasonal Kushiage
-Nakabachi
-four special Kushiage
-Small fish rice
-Soup
-Pickled vegetables

Appetizer was crab salad

The waiter brings the ingredients before frying them – foie gras, shrimp, etc…

I got SOOOO excited!!

The batter is so light. I could eat it forever!

This is definitely perfect for foreigners visiting Japan!

I finished off the meal with Jako-gohan (small fish rice)

This only cost ¥3800! What a satisfying meal!

There’s another branch in Nihonbashi as well.
