MK Guide Recommends
Established in 1929, Kushikatsu Daruma in Shinsekai is the original deep-fry den that put Osaka’s signature skewers on the national map. The formula hasn’t changed: piping-hot kushikatsu, snappy cabbage, and a metal tin of shared dipping sauce—strictly one dip per skewer. The menu covers everything from pork and shrimp to quail eggs, lotus root, and even camembert cheese. Inside, the counter is fast-paced and functional, with the now-iconic scowling Daruma mascot watching over every bite. No reservations, no frills—just crisp batter, friendly barkeeps, and a deep-fried crash course in local flavor.
