Kushiage

Kushiage literally means deep fried skewer, is a Japanese cuisine made from deep fried meat, seafood or vegetables and mostly served on skewers. It looks like a yakitori, a kind of grilled things (meat, seafood or vegies) on skewers too.

Osaka is quite famous for its Kushiage cuisine, especially around Shinsekai area. During my visit in Osaka, one friend took us for a walk around Shinsekai and we decided to have Kushiage dinner.It was my first experience enjoying Kushiage cuisine and it was really a good pick!

Here are some of my Kushiage shots..
