Osaka made kushikatsu famous, but Nagoya eats it its own way: dunked into the same dark miso that simmers beside the fryer. The pairing of a doteni pot and a fryer is a Nagoya institution.

Kushikatsu

How to eat it

  1. 1Ask for miso — the skewer gets a coat of the dark doteni sauce.
  2. 2Where a shared sauce pot exists, dip once. Never twice.
Order with one line
Kushikatsu o kudasai.
= “Kushikatsu skewers, please.”
Show this to the staff — it means “Kushikatsu, please.”

FAQ

Good to know

Is it different from Osaka kushikatsu?
Osaka runs on communal sauce and the famous no-double-dipping rule. In Nagoya some shops serve a miso-based sauce instead — same fried skewers, different sauce lineage.
How many skewers is a meal?
Eight to twelve per person. You order one at a time, which is the appeal — try a little of everything and find what you like.
Is it fine to go alone?
Yes — counter seating dominates and solo diners are normal. Seat counts on each shop page give you a sense of the room.
