Kushikatsu
If you come to Osaka, you have to have kushikatsu! Meat and vegetables are coated in a crisp batter of breadcrumbs and deep-fried, then eaten with a special sauce that varies by each restaurant. The sauce and the breadcrumb coating create a richness of flavor that is almost addictive, and makes the perfect accompaniment to beer. The sauces are so good that you’ll want to dip your kushikatsu in as often as possible, but remember, no double-dipping!

Doteyaki
Doteyaki is skewers of beef sinew stewed using miso, mirin, dashi stock, and other ingredients. Each restaurant creates its own unique blend and uses different types of miso. Doteyaki is stewed slowly over hours, giving it a rich, deep taste. Known for its pleasant degree of sweetness, it goes great with a bitter beer.
