I visited around 8:00 on Sunday night. The kushikatsu was crispy and the sauce was light and delicious. There was plenty of cabbage, which was nice. I relaxed in the very cozy atmosphere. I really felt like lying down here. I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal! Sorry, I don't have any decent photos.

I entered the restaurant around 7 o'clock in the evening. I ordered various types of kushikatsu, dashimaki tamago, and dotenabe. The crispy chicken skin skewer, lotus root, and dotenabe were especially delicious, but everything was tasty. I had a great time chatting with the landlady and the master towards the end. I will definitely go back. Thank you for the meal.

In Kyoto, for some reason, I ate Osaka's famous kushikatsu. On the third day of my trip to Nara and Kyoto, my schedule was packed with places I wanted to visit, so I ended up skipping lunch and before I knew it, it was already evening. After visiting Shimogamo Shrine and buying traditional Japanese sweets at Demachi Futaba, one of Kyoto's most popular confectionery shops, I finally had time to eat. As I was strolling around Demachiyanagi, I came across a restaurant that was open at the oddly specific time of 4:30 pm. It was a lifesaver for me, as I was starving after not eating anything since morning. It was a weekday during Golden Week, and I arrived at 4:30 pm with no other customers in sight. Today's order included beef for ¥100, lotus root for ¥100, pickled ginger for ¥100, pork for ¥100, cheese fish cake for ¥100, wiener sausage for ¥100, young chicken for ¥150, smelt fish for ¥150, squid for ¥150, and pike conger eel for ¥200. We also had two glasses of draft beer for ¥580 each. It was quite cheap. They fry the skewers right in front of you. The batter was just right, crispy and light. Even at this point, the kushikatsu was already delicious. The meat and pickled ginger were a bit tough to chew, but considering the price, it was more than satisfactory. The pickled ginger was in whole pieces, providing a spicy and slightly sour flavor that was very tasty. The lotus root was soft and delicious. The squid was tender and blended well with the batter. Overall, the non-meat items seemed to be of higher quality...? Anyway, the cost performance was excellent. The specialty dish is curry ramen, a Chinese noodle dish with a curry base. Thank you for the meal!

I wanted to eat kushikatsu, so I ventured into the new world of restaurants. There were so many to choose from, but I decided on a place with a deck reminiscent of Akashi's youthful days. As soon as I opened the door, I was seated right away. Since it was my first time trying kushikatsu, I randomly ordered a variety of items. The dishes arrived promptly and the most impressive one was the pickled ginger - big, crispy, and delicious with a sweet sauce. The salmon with tartar sauce was also a surprise. Overall, as a beginner in kushikatsu, I found everything to be delicious and satisfying. There are mixed opinions, but the staff's service was good and I had a pleasant dining experience. I would like to visit again if I have the chance!

Discovered a cozy looking kushikatsu restaurant. Called ahead and was told it was full, so to come back in 30 minutes. Passed the time and arrived at the reservation time. The counter was packed with about 7 seats and one two-person table. The narrow shop had a charming, aged interior. I like this kind of atmosphere! The young master and the elderly proprietress, perhaps mother and son, efficiently took our orders. We ordered beef, pork, lotus root, eggplant, shrimp, wiener, potato, and beer. Added potato salad and beef tendon stew. Isn't potato kushikatsu unusual? They cut a dome-shaped potato in half, skewered it, and fried it to a crispy perfection. Delicious! I wanted mayonnaise, but refrained. The large shrimp for only 200 yen was worth it. I could have easily gone for another round or two, but for some reason, I started feeling bloated or heartburn, so I gave up after the initial order and settled the bill within an hour. After stepping outside and walking a bit, I felt better, perhaps due to poor ventilation in the shop. The deep-frying oil in the kitchen was dark and sludgy, which made sense. I wonder how many days old that oil was... Nonetheless, it was a wonderful and unique restaurant experience. There was a sign saying, "During busy times, please limit your stay to 2 hours." Not for lingering, but perfect for a quick drink and delicious, affordable kushikatsu. Thank you for the meal!

I came to eat Katsudon for the first time in a while. At night, it's a Osaka-style Katsu restaurant, and during the day, it's a Fukui Prefecture sauce Katsudon restaurant. The menu includes Sauce Katsudon for 850 yen, Mix Katsudon for 950 yen, and Shrimp Katsudon for 980 yen, all served with clear soup. I ordered the Sauce Katsudon. A covered Katsudon was brought to me, and when I removed the lid, I found three pieces of Katsu on top. This got me excited. Although each piece was thin, they were easy to eat. There was little fat, so it wasn't heavy and very easy to eat. The pickled Chinese cabbage served in between was also a nice touch. The amount of rice was just right, not too much considering the amount of Katsu. It's a taste that you occasionally crave.

I would rate this restaurant as 3.9 for food, 3.9 for service, 3.9 for atmosphere, and 3.8 for value for money. I am not particularly familiar with the world of kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers), so I had been ignoring this restaurant even after becoming aware of its existence. However, one day during lunchtime, I happened to pass by and saw a sign advertising the "Fukui Prefecture Sauce Katsudon" lunch special. It caught my attention. It was around 11:45 am, so I thought I could probably still get a seat. I decided to take a peek inside. Upon entering, I found a small restaurant with only a counter, an elderly gentleman sitting at the counter, and a young owner behind it. The atmosphere was not bad at all. I wasn't in the mood for a big meal, so I ordered the small size of the Sauce Katsudon for 750 yen after looking at the menu outside. It turns out, the restaurant offers a variety of kushikatsu items for around 100 yen each. They also had options like Ebi Katsu for lunch. The finely shredded cabbage that came with dressing and sauce was delicious. The main dish arrived, consisting of two pieces of Sauce Katsu on a bed of shredded cabbage and pickled cabbage, topped with red pickled ginger. It was accompanied by miso soup. The meat was tender, and the sauce was flavorful yet not overpowering. I didn't feel the need for extra sauce. The pickles and soup were also well-prepared. However, the small size was just right for me, and I think the regular or large size might be too much. I would like to try the Mix Katsudon in the future when I'm a little more hungry. The elderly gentleman brought the bill, and as I left, three students entered the restaurant. It seemed like it would quickly fill up during lunchtime. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

Lunchtime was busier than expected, with everyone eating sauce katsu-don. Recently, they have added Paris-don to the menu, further showcasing the influence of Fukui. I haven't been there for dinner, so I can't say for sure, but it seems like Osaka-style dishes are served at night and Fukui-style dishes are served during the day. The sauce katsu-don at this restaurant is slightly different from Fukui's version. The katsu is thin and crispy, resembling ham katsu. The sauce is spicy, possibly the same as the one used for kushikatsu. The cabbage is all-you-can-eat, and the miso soup and pickles are delicious. The rice goes down easily, and overall it's not bad, but I wish the katsu was thicker and the sauce was either sweeter or more mild. I'd like to try the Paris-don next time.
