Nestled in a nostalgic alley in the downtown of Osaka lies the kushikatsu specialty store, 'Kushikatsu Kakuei'. This shop, boasting a 60-year history, has been beloved for its delicious kushikatsu fried in high-quality oil and expert skills.
Upon entering the shop, you can observe the artisans earnestly frying the skewers at the back of the counter. Each skewer is carefully immersed in top-quality vegetable oil, fried until it turns golden brown. This unwavering commitment to time and effort creates the crispy coating and juicy deliciousness.

The charm lies in being able to experience the seasons alongside the long-established kushikatsu.
The interior exudes a tranquil atmosphere with a focus on wood. From the counter seats, you can witness the artisans frying the skewers with great care.
