Kushikatsu

Kushikatsu (串カツ) is a Japanese-style of deep-fried kebab. In Japanese, kushi (串) refers to the skewers used while katsu means a deep-fried cutlet of meat.Kushikatsu can be made with chicken, pork, seafood, and seasonal vegetables. These are skewered on bamboo kushi; dipped in egg, flour, and panko; and deep-fried in vegetable oil. They may be served straight or with tonkatsu sauce.-Wikipedia





Kushikatsu has been loved by Japanese for a long time, especially with of course, beer. its just so easy to eat, and the variety of it is endless. Salmon Kushi, Shiitake mushroom kushi, pork kushi, beef kushi, you name it, its delicious.

Being deepfried with this fine japanese bread crumbles called "Panko" makes it crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. The manner of eating Kushikatsu is "no double dipping" Since most of Kushikatsu restaurant offer their sauce in a bin, and everyone shares. Everyone dip their Kushikatsu in the same bin while they chat, laugh, and drink. ah I love it.

Today my gal friend and I picked "Nishimura-ya" which is located under Namba parks, this big shopping mall/movie theatre downtown.


We ordered the lunch set, it had salad, Tuna sashimi, sticky potato, picked veggies, Kushikatsu, miso soup and rice. The total comes to 880yen, which is about 8 dollers+tax. well worth it.







My gal friend and I had lunch and a beer, and we headed up to the movie theatre to see "Social Network,"then we went to Karaoke after that. It was a nice Sunday funday.
