A Sarukuma writer visits “Kushikatsu Tanaka” in Kusunoki, Kita Ward, Kumamoto City. Price range: from 370 yen. Includes kid-friendly highlights, access info, and opening hours.
Restaurant Introduction
Hello, travelers!
I’m Ayu-mama, writer for “Sarukuma.”
“There’s no such thing as a free lunch”
The saying goes that when you get something for free, you’ll usually end up paying for it one way or another — through favors owed or hidden costs.
There’s even a terrace area — a welcome option for diners who prefer open-air seating.
Here’s the menu.
Beyond just kushikatsu skewers,
the side dish menu is incredibly extensive!
They even serve noodle dishes!
Plus a wide drink selection
and a tempting dessert lineup!
For drinks, there’s a fun game where you roll two dice and win a prize based on the result —
Since I drove there this time,I had to hold back my urge to try the “Chinchirorin Drink” game.
Instead, I toasted with a non-alcoholic beer (370 yen) — sigh!
First came the otoshi (appetizer) of cabbage — 250 yen.
5-skewer assortment — 640 yenThat perfect crispy, crunchy texture is something you just can’t replicate at home.
For my son, I ordered an individual tomato skewer — 120 yen! (Watch out — the inside is incredibly hot!)
The kitchen is open-style, so you can watch the chefs frying up kushikatsu right in front of you.Recommended Menu Items
The lineup of FREE services for kids is absolutely incredible!
First up: juice for kids.
Next up:
Wait — free takoyaki?! Is this for real?!
And the best part — kids get to make their own takoyaki!
And once again, kids get to swirl their own ice cream!
Soft-serve complete! (Looking like it might topple over any second, ha!)
And when you pay, you get a free coin to use on the gachapon (capsule toy) machine!It’s a kids-first kind of place!
