All the Things We Ate at the Kushikatsu Specialty Shop “串たな”

There are 3 kinds of seasonings for the katsu: “salt,” “sauce,” and “ponzu.”

Ohhh! Ponzu goes well with kushikatsu too?✨

This is the starter salad.

kuruma prawn・okra・sillago wrapped in shiso・tomato bacon・dashimaki tamago・pork tenderloin wrapped in shiso

The “kuruma prawn” is best with salt. You can eat the whole thing, shell and all. The “sillago wrapped in shiso” is crispy and delicate. The refreshing shiso flavor is delicious. Be careful with the “tomato bacon” because it’s hot. First you get a burst of smoky bacon aroma, then the piping-hot tomato juices come rushing out💦💦

It’s so nice that you can enjoy everything piping hot and freshly fried✨

The “dashimaki tamago” has a fluffy texture and is so soft, which goes great with the crispy coating♪ The “tenderloin wrapped in shiso” has a strong shiso aroma, so it’s refreshing and not greasy, but still has that satisfying meaty feel.

white leek・blowfish・sweet potato・konjac with fish roe・asparagus crab bacon・scallop adductor

The “white leek” has a great crunchy texture from the thick leek, along with that distinctive refreshing leek flavor. The “blowfish” is mild, but it has a solid white-fish umami and a wonderful springy texture♪

Sounds like there are so many fun textures to enjoy♪

The “konjac with fish roe” has an interesting texture. The “scallop adductor” is fluffy and tender. It’s sweet, and with salt it makes a perfect match with sake.

Wagyu beef・onion・asparagus(with mayo)・garlic・Kurobuta pork and onion・warabimochi

The “beef skewer” is Wagyu, so it’s super tender, and the fat from the meat tastes sweet. The “onion” is one where you can really feel the strong sweetness of the onion. The “asparagus” uses extra-thick asparagus, so it’s satisfying to eat, and it’s juicy and fluffy.

So the sweetness really stands out!

The “garlic” is hot and fluffy inside. The gentle garlic aroma is delicious. The “Kurobuta pork and onion” is a fantastic dish with the pork’s umami and the onion’s sweetness. They also have a dessert skewer, “warabimochi.”

Assorted Pickles

The turnip, eggplant, and leafy greens are all pickled just right, making them perfect snacks to go with drinks.
