Kushikatsu Daruma Dotonbori

It is assorted deep fried skewers with a special sauce to pair with. The sauce in the restaurant is usually meant for sharing, so double dipping is not allowed. Thus, they provide fresh raw cabbage for you to dip if you need more sauce.
Very similar to tempura but the batter is less crispy and the sauce is the highlight for this dish. Taste similar to ponzu sauce, sweet and citrusy.
Daruma is a major Kushikatsu chain in Osaka. I think this will be great to pair with beer.

A must try in Osaka, which consist of skewered meat/ vege that is battered and fried. The batter differs from tempura batter. Then you can sip the sticks into a slightly tangy and salty sauce before eating it.

Pro tip 1: There is a popular main shop along Dotonbori, so avoid the crowd and go to the one near Namba. You can visit the Osaka museum of arts before that as well!

Pro tip 2: share a 15 sticks combi with your friend before deciding which sticks you like most. Then order ala carte for it after that. There are also more to choose from that’s not available in the combi!
