Kitashinchi Kushikatsu Bon

Osaka is known all over Japan for its lively atmosphere and great street food, but few are quite as satisfying as kushikatsu, bite-sized morsels of skewered meats or vegetables deep-fried to golden perfection. What better way to enjoy the best of Osaka than through a world-renowned kushikatsu restaurant? Enter Kushikatsu Bon, right at the heart of Osaka’s bustling Kitashinchi district. Don’t let the small size fool you: the interior radiates pure elegance, with its subdued lighting and dark leather upholstery. Take a seat at the impressive counter of dark wood, where customers watch the magic unfold before their eyes. The restaurant’s omakase course meals are the most popular orders, which provide a range of meat, seafood, and delicious seasonal vegetables sourced from all over Japan. The restaurant doesn’t just elevate the kushikatsu experience through atmosphere: the ingredients used are second to none, with foie gras and wagyu beef. A wide selection of drinks decorate the store shelves, each chosen specifically for their suitability with Kushikatsu Bon’s course menus. Kushikatsu Bon’s success has brought it as far as Paris, France, where it was recognized by the Michelin Guide — but there’s nothing quite like having this world-famous Japanese food in its birthplace.
