Kushikatsu is the soul food of Osaka. There are countless restaurants in Osaka City where you can enjoy Kushikatsu.
Meanwhile, there is a restaurant that has continued to be loved by locals since its establishment in 1956.
That is “Torinosu”.
There are stores in Umeda and Kyobashi, but this time we will report on the Kyobashi store as well as the Torinosu that has been loved for more than half a century.
“If you want to eat Kushikatsu in Kyobashi, don’t hesitate to come here.”
There are many regulars who have been coming here for decades, and the restaurant is popular for its familiarity, where even one person can feel free to come in alone.
The store has his first and second floors, and the first floor has counter seats.
There are table seats on the second floor, so we can accommodate groups and groups.
Torinosu Kushikatsu is characterized by its light sauce. The kushikatsu is also crisply fried, and you can enjoy freshly fried ingredients.
Kushikatsu has a wide variety of toppings, including vegetables, meat, and fish. When you first come here, it can be hard to decide which one to buy, but the good thing about it is that it’s available at a low price of 160 to 220 yen per bottle, so you can easily enjoy it.
There is also a Kushikatsu set menu, so if you can’t decide which one to go for, we recommend ordering the set menu.
Torinosu is an izakaya (Japanese pub). In addition to kushikatsu, there are various other snacks available. From pickles to cold tofu to edamame, everything on the menu is traditional and comforting.
Among them, the homemade tofu-age is one of the most popular dishes. This is a dish recommended by our regulars, so be sure to order it when you visit.
note: If you want to drink shochu mixed with soda, you will need to purchase shochu (430 yen) and carbonated water (210 yen) separately. If you want an oolong high, purchase oolong tea (220 yen) separately.
Cheap and delicious kushikatsu. An old-fashioned atmosphere with a nostalgic feel.
Torinosu is still crowded with locals today.
If you’ve made the effort to come to Osaka, try authentic kushikatsu. Here it is.
Please come and enjoy the taste that has been loved by the people of Osaka for over half a century.
