Kushi-no-Bo Ginza Honten: Kyoto-Style Deep-Fried Skewers in Central Tokyo
Kushi-no-Bo traces its roots to a Kyoto-born kushikatsu specialist chain founded in 1950, and this Ginza branch serves the style a short walk from Tokyo's main shopping district. Rather than the stand-up, mass-produced kushikatsu associated with Osaka's Shinsekai neighborhood, Kushi-no-Bo's format is closer to an omakase course: a sequence of vegetables, seafood, and meat skewers, each coated in a light batter and fried to order, arriving one or two at a time with the chain's own dipping sauce and sesame salt. For travelers who have already tried Osaka's cheaper, faster kushikatsu stalls, this Ginza branch offers a more formal, sit-down version of the same basic idea -- deep-fried food on a stick, built course by course rather than served all at once.
