Yaekatsu: A Beloved Kushikatsu Institution in Shinsekai
Yaekatsu is a long-standing kushikatsu (deep-fried skewer) restaurant in Osaka's Shinsekai district, a short walk from Dobutsuen-mae Station. Its batter is made with grated yam, giving the skewers a light, crisp texture that drains oil well. As at Kushikatsu Daruma and other Shinsekai kushikatsu shops, the shared sauce pot follows the area's well-known "no double-dipping" rule. The shop's dote-yaki -- simmered offal in a sweet white miso sauce -- is cited alongside the kushikatsu itself as a signature dish. Lines can form outside on weekends, so arriving right at opening is recommended.
