A Shinsekai institution and one of the founding names in Osaka's kushikatsu tradition, distinct from the more famous Daruma chain. The batter is lighter and crispier here, and the house dipping sauce is a closely guarded recipe. The standing-bar format keeps things fast and fun — the double-dipping rule is strictly enforced.
