Matsubasohonten in Osaka

I really like the atmosphere at this place - it’s packed with locals, it’s stacked with skewers, it’s flowing with beers - this is how all standing bars should feel like! The food is average kinda good; if you eat Kushikatsu enough number of times, you might find yourself liking every different stall you go to, bcos they really taste 90% alike.What I find unique about this place as well is that you can “order” the skewer of your choice and they will refry (or heat up) the skewer from the tray in front of you. Alternatively, you can simply take your pick from the tray in front of you! I notice that the locals were just picking from the tray, especially whenever the staff tops them up with fresh ones.

A long-established store of kushikatsu in the Shin Umeda dining area. It's fried after you order, so you can enjoy the freshly prepared food. Kushikatsu is cheap, but drinks are not always cheap. I think it's a good place to eat some kushikatsu, drink a little, and pull up. Only standing up. I think it depends on the location, but there are some places where water droplets from the air conditioner may drop. I just want to do something about this.

Taste of the food was mediocre, but the place was filled with many locals. Best item I felt was the chicken skewer which had curry powder seasoning. Fried items were left to cool so some fried skewers were cold and not crispy.

Really like this place and its convenient and atmospheric location next to Umeda Station. It's a standing kushikatsu bar, so you can knock out two Osaka classic experiences in one. No seats, not much space. The "young chicken" drumsticks are great, everything else is good - freshly made and better than the other chain kushikatsu shops. The price is right for a quick snack.

I come here every time I come back to Osaka. There are mixed reviews but this place is typical Osaka style Kushikatsu place. Most of local, less expensive places are similar to here. If you are not used to it or don't like it, you may not like this place. You pick up whatever you want to taste from boxes and enjoy them with drinks (I always get bottled beer). It's not easy to pick what you want because they are all brown and look similar but they can explain what they are. They can warm up them, if you ask. They calculate your bill by skewers as there are several types that have different prices.My personal favorites are, Chicken, beef, Tuna and green pepper. Oyster is pretty good in winter.

pick up you want to eat and dip in source.Don't dip once you wear a mouth.If you want to more hotter ,order to staff. Finaly staff check and count your skewers.

Seats fill up after lunch. The popular Tsubomi Kushikatsu shop is so popular that there are no seats after evening. Feel free to put in and leave.You can eat about 10 items. The woman next door drew one beef skewer and draft beer and went out quickly.

A fun kushikatsu (deep-fried skewered meat, vegetables, etc.) standing restaurant loved by the locals in Osaka, located inside Shinumeda Shokudogai. The place was filled with locals having beer at 2pm on a Monday. It is not the best kushikatsu I have had as it is quite oily but it is reasonably priced with one stick ranging from 100 to 160 yen and a drink from 350 to 700 yen. Try to stand by the kitchen so that you can see all the frying in action. However be aware that the service is not so good because they are busy running the kitchen and serving. This place is more for experiencing the Osaka culture than the taste of the food.I recommend the Pork, Quail Egg, Camembert Cheese, Kisu (Whiting fish) and Onion. Don't forget, no double dipping on the sauce!!*English menu available

It's very close to Umeda/Osaka station, so I think it's a good idea to take a quick trip on the way back from your business trip to Osaka and get the Osaka specialty kushikatsu.You can usually get the skewered cutlet you have at hand, but you can eat hot as it is warmed and fried again.Since March 2020, there is no container that stores Kushikatsu sauce, which has been used as a measure against the new coronavirus, and it is styled to eat by pouring the sauce.Cigarettes can be smoked, in which case there is no ashtray and cigarette butts are thrown away on the store floor. (I clean the floor regularly, so it's beautiful)

A shop in the Shin Umeda dining area. Kushikatsu-san who is standing and drinking all seats. I went there around 18:30 on weekdays. The counter seats were almost full. You can eat freshly fried skewered cutlet. You can order from one and the fried skewers are lined up at the counter. If you order the one you want to eat, it will be fried and served hot. Those who like being cold will serve it as it is. Previously, it was a style to put on the sauce, but now it is a style to put on the sauce.It's a pretty funky style shop with cigarette butts on the floor. It's a nice shop that has a taste and melancholy.

Speaking of north skewersCorona is hard, but it is not oily and the clothes are fine.

Kushikatsu is crispy and has a light and light feel. The young chicken is delicious with curry. It's cheap and delicious.It is a standing drink, and there is no voucher, so you can know the price from the length and shape of the skewers.

This place is really fun where you can experience Osaka local life.
