Kushi Tanaka Opens New Location in Iwakura with Special Beer Promotion

Kushi Tanaka Iwakura: New Beginnings and Local Flavors

Kushi Tanaka Holdings, headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, is proud to announce the grand opening of its latest establishment, Kushi Tanaka Iwakura, set to welcome guests on February 3, 2026. This new outlet caters to the vibrant community surrounding Iwakura Station, just a short, 11-minute express train ride from Nagoya Station, making it the perfect dining location for both families and busy professionals.

A Growing Community Space

The Iwakura Station West Exit area has transformed into a sought-after residential neighborhood, bustling with families and dual-income households. With the presence of supermarkets and newly constructed condominiums, it has become a hub for those seeking a convenient yet lively community.
Kushi Tanaka Iwakura aims to meet the unique lifestyle needs of its patrons, whether they are enjoying a quick takeout after work or a delightful family gathering on weekends.

To celebrate its opening, the restaurant will feature a special campaign from February 3 to February 9, 2026, showcasing The Premium Malts Aroma Ale for just 290 JPY (approximately 319 JPY with tax). This promotion is part of Kushi Tanaka's commitment to become a beloved choice within the local dining scene.

Exciting Menu Offerings

While the restaurant is set to feature the signature kushi-katsu (deep-fried skewered meat), it also introduces a revamped version of its beloved Infinity Skewers. Building on the popularity of the previous offering, which concluded its run at the end of 2025, the new skewers are designed to delight customers with unlimited enjoyment.

- Rich and Flavorful: The Infinity Dote Miso Hormone Skewer satisfies those craving a heavier, bolder taste.
- Crisp and Refreshing: The Infinity Yuzu Ponzu Hormone Skewer offers a light and zesty alternative, perfect for any occasion.

Moreover, for those looking to indulge at home, takeout options will be available, making it easy to enjoy Kushi Tanaka’s delightful dishes as take-home meals, whether for a special occasion or casual family dinners.

Other highlights on the menu include:

- Tanaka’s Katsu Udon: A rich broth infused with deep flavors from specially crafted ingredients.
- Saiboshi: A specialty smoked beef that represents the rich culinary traditions of Osakan cuisine.
- Leek-Covered Cheesy Hirayaki: A scrumptious dish packed with flavor.
- Niku-Sui with Tofu: A local favorite birthed from a unique request from comedians who enjoy a hearty meal.

For families, Kushi Tanaka Iwakura features options for children, including a Potato Salad dish that can be mashed to their liking and Takoyaki, a popular dish that guests can cook themselves, adding a fun interactive element to their dining experience.
