Kushikatsu Dengana Mizonokuchi

Kushikatsu Dengana Mizonokuchi branch is located a 1-minute walk from Mizonokuchi Station West Exit.
Its exterior, with warm lighting and impressive lanterns, creates a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere.

Dogs welcome on the terrace! The friendly and warm atmosphere, created by the soft glow of lanterns and wooden tables, is reminiscent of traditional Japanese festivals and food stalls.
You can enjoy a relaxing time with your dog in a nostalgic setting.
It's the perfect place for a fun meal with family or dog-owning friends, or to simply drop by during a walk.

Our signature kushikatsu boasts a unique texture that captivates everyone who tries it.
The secret lies in blending yam into the batter.
This extra step creates an exquisite texture that you won't find elsewhere: crispy and light on the outside, fluffy and chewy on the inside.
Furthermore, frying them to a crisp in carefully selected high-quality lard, which is less likely to cause indigestion, adds a fragrant aroma, making them so delicious you can eat as many as you like.
What further enhances the flavor of our kushikatsu is our restaurant's proud original sauce.
Crafted through repeated trial and error, this sauce has a mellow acidity, and with one bite, its aromatic flavor fills your mouth.

What further enhances the deliciousness of kushikatsu is the cabbage served as an appetizer.
The crisp, fresh cabbage can first be enjoyed on its own as a palate cleanser.
Then, with each bite of kushikatsu, it refreshes your palate.
The charm of the cabbage is that you can dip it generously in the "no double-dipping" sauce.
You can savor an exquisite harmony of the cabbage's natural sweetness and the sauce's flavor, distinct from kushikatsu.

At Kushikatsu Dengana Mizonokuchi branch, you can enjoy authentic Osaka B-grade gourmet dishes, beloved in Osaka, in addition to kushikatsu.

The beloved specialty, "Doteyaki".
Its appeal lies in the tender beef sinew and profound flavor that everyone agrees on with just one bite.
The secret to its deliciousness is using only specific, carefully selected parts of beef sinew.
Furthermore, by simmering it slowly for a long time in our original Saikyo miso, the beef sinew becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender.
The rich flavor, where the mellow sweetness of miso and the umami of beef sinew blend together, is truly a moment of bliss.

Alongside rich-flavored dishes like kushikatsu, we highly recommend trying "Beef Tripe Salt Stew" and "Sujipon".
Beef Tripe Salt Stew has a light, salty flavor, yet it's packed with the umami of beef tripe stewed for a long time, offering an irresistible melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
It gently refreshes your palate after the richness of kushikatsu.
On the other hand, Sujipon is a dish of tender beef sinew finished with refreshing ponzu sauce.
The acidity of the ponzu whets your appetite, and the exquisite balance of beef sinew's umami spreading with each chew is its charm.

The very popular "Soft-boiled Egg Potato Salad" is not just a side dish.
First, there's the chunky texture of the potatoes.
The gooey, soft-boiled egg on top transforms the entire potato salad into a mellow and rich flavor.
Furthermore, the crispy fried onions on top add a fragrant aroma and a light texture.
These three distinct textures create enjoyment with every bite.

The "Torotaku" is so popular that repeat customers keep coming back.
The rich, melt-in-your-mouth fatty tuna (toro) combined with the crunchy pickled daikon (taku) creates an exquisite harmony that you won't find elsewhere.
Moreover, the addition of shiso leaves adds a refreshing aroma, making it so delicious you can eat endless amounts.

After enjoying lively kushikatsu, how about a dish to help you relax?
"Atsuatsu Atsuage" (Hot Fried Tofu) is a simple yet highly satisfying dish.
As the name suggests, it's served freshly fried and piping hot, so you can enjoy a crispy, fragrant exterior and a fluffy, meltingly soft interior.
Because it's simple fried tofu, the accompanying ponzu, grated ginger, and green onions enhance its natural deliciousness.
It's a heartwarming flavor, different from kushikatsu, and pairs well with drinks.

The "Chicken Skin Ponzu" is rumored to be addictive!
The fried chicken skin has a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
By tossing this fragrant chicken skin with tangy ponzu, it becomes a delicious dish that's rich in umami yet not heavy, making you want to eat endless amounts.

As a popular finishing dish for your meal, the gently flavorful "Niku-sui" (Meat Soup) and "Niku-sui Udon" (Meat Soup Udon).
Niku-sui, which originated from an udon restaurant in Osaka, is beloved as a classic finishing dish in Osaka.
The umami of beef perfectly matches the light dashi broth flavored with bonito and kelp.
It's not heavy even after eating fried food, offering a gentle flavor that slowly permeates your body.
And if you want to enjoy Niku-sui even more, try adding a soft-boiled egg (available separately).
The addition of the gooey yolk makes the flavor even milder and spreads a rich umami.
For those who want a more substantial finish, Niku-sui Udon is recommended.
The smooth texture and chewy udon noodles will satisfy both your stomach and your soul.

Another popular classic finishing dish is the fragrant "Yaki Onigiri" (Grilled Rice Ball).
With a crispy, fragrant exterior and a fluffy interior, this rice ball is simple yet satisfying.
You can also enjoy this yaki onigiri by ordering it with hot Niku-sui and dipping it in the broth, like "Dashi Chazuke".
The combination of fragrant rice ball and gentle broth is the perfect way to conclude your meal.

We also pay attention to our drinks, offering a unique and extensive menu that pairs perfectly with kushikatsu.
The "Naniwa Highball Series" features an exhilarating crispness from its super-strong carbonation.
It refreshes your palate with a fizz after rich fried foods.
Furthermore, with our specialty "Dodeka Jug Series," you can enjoy highballs and sours in a large 1-liter size.
In addition to classic sours, we also offer unique sours like "Wasabi Sour" and "Tomato Sour," as well as a wide variety of fruit sours with plenty of fruit pulp.
We also have a wide range of other alcoholic beverages, including beer, shochu, sake, and Hoppy.
Please enjoy various pairings to match your kushikatsu flavor and mood.
