Kushikatsu Tanaka Opens a New Location in Yonezawa, Japan

Exciting New Opening in Yonezawa!

Kushikatsu Tanaka Holding Company has announced the grand opening of its new restaurant in Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture. Scheduled to open on May 29, 2025, this will be the brand's second location in the Yamagata region, strategically placed in the heart of Yonezawa's central area. Located on the first floor of a hotel, the new restaurant aims to provide a welcoming atmosphere for both guests and locals.

To celebrate this new location, Kushikatsu Tanaka is launching a special promotion during the opening week from May 29 to June 4, where guests can enjoy a refreshing draft beer for only 270 yen. This initiative is designed to attract not only travelers passing through but also local residents who seek authentic Osaka cuisine.

What to Expect from the Menu

Kushikatsu Tanaka is renowned for its delicious skewers, and the Yonezawa outlet will offer an array of mouth-watering options, including their exclusive new dish, Infinite Garlic Hormone Skewers. This newly created menu item promises to be a crowd-pleaser, featuring tender pieces marinated in a rich garlic soy sauce, and priced at an affordable 50 yen each. It pairs exquisitely with alcoholic beverages, encouraging diners to enjoy an optimal drinking experience.

In addition to skewers, guests can delight in a variety of popular dishes, such as:

- Tanaka's Katsu Udon: A must-try special broth infused with the flavors of deep-fried pork fat.
- Negi Maki Cheese Hiraki: A local Osaka delicacy featuring ample green onions, cheese, and mayonnaise, wrapped in a delicious egg crepe.
- Saiboshi: Smoked horse meat from the Osaka region, perfect for those seeking unique flavors.
- Niku-sui with Tofu: A signature dish born from a hangover remedy, catering to both locals and visitors alike.

Takeout and Family-Friendly Options

The restaurant will also offer takeout services, allowing guests to enjoy Kushikatsu Tanaka's delicious offerings in the comfort of their homes, whether as a snack, a lavish dinner, or as sides for home gatherings.

For families, Kushikatsu Tanaka values guests of all ages, incorporating kid-friendly services in their dining experience. Special items on the menu, such as the DIY Potato Salad and Homemade Takoyaki, are designed not just to please the palate but also to create fun experiences for families visiting together. Kids can have fun making their own takoyaki with ingredients fully prepared for their enjoyment.

Kushikatsu Tanaka’s expansion marks another step toward their goal of bringing authentic Osaka culinary traditions to a wider audience, with only two prefectures left for nationwide coverage: Wakayama and Tottori!
