Kushiage is a Japanese dish that consists of deep-fried food, traditionally skewered on bamboo sticks. Although it may be lesser known, it is of peak deliciousness.
If you want to dive into the world of kushiage, my top recommendation is Ginza Isomura, with locations in Ginza, Fujisawa, and Yokohama. They serve high-quality, seasonal ingredients, perfectly deep-fried to a golden brown color, with some skewers topped with flavorful sauces to elevate the taste. Options range from maitake mushrooms and asparagus to tender chicken wings, prawns, beef, and even Camembert cheese.
A whole meal of deep-fried goodness? Yes, and it’s surprisingly light! The thin, crispy crust combined with Ginza Isomura’s carefully crafted oil blend—perfected in the past 40+ years since their opening—leaves you satisfied without feeling weighed down.
