Kushikatsu – Literally “Stick Fry” – AKA Out-Americaning America SO Hard

I’m told this originates from Osaka, which makes me scratch my head because we in America seriously should have thought of this a long time ago.

This place was called Kushiya Monogatari (Translation: “The Tale of Stick Frying”) and it was classy and amazing. Not cheap, but worth it for the experience.

How to eat Kushikatsu in five simple steps:


1) It’s all-you-can-eat for 90 minutes. So load up! The buffet is loaded with meats, vegetables, breads, and desserts, each served on an individual skewer. Serve up and return to your table.



2) Dip whatever goodness is on your stick in batter, then bread crumbs.



3) Deep fry it in the oil in the handy fryer in the middle of the table.



4) Dip in your choice of six sauces and enjoy!



5) Put your stick in the stick-holder thingy. Watch with joy as the stick-holder thingy fills up along with your stomach.


Pair your fried dishes with some pasta or rice sides, and top it off with a chocolate-fountain trip and/or self-serve soft-serve ice cream and dessert bar. Remember, it’s all you can eat, even with those AMAZING. JAPANESE. CAKES.

So honestly everything about this was amazing, but my favorite was the way they cut their Vienna sausages:


Look at my widdle octopus!!!
