What to Expect at Kushikatsu Tanaka

Signature Offerings

Customers can delight in Kushikatsu Tanaka's exclusive take on the classic Japanese dish - Kushikatsu, a deep-fried skewer served with a unique sauce, made in-house with secret recipes. One of the exciting highlights lies in their recent introduction of the 'Infinite' skewers, which took the dining scene by storm with the launch of the 'Infinite Garlic Hormone Skewers'. Due to their addictive flavor, these skewers have grown immensely popular with over 20 million sold since their inception.

Further expanding their offerings, in January 2026, the brand introduced two additional Infinite skewer variations: 'Rich and Thick Sweet Miso Hormone' and 'Refreshing Yuzu Ponzu Hormone', catering to a wide array of taste preferences.

Unique Beverages

To complement their skewer offerings, Kushikatsu Tanaka has also unveiled two special sour drinks dedicated to boosting the infinite skewer experience: the 'Tsundere', with a dry and salty flavor, and the 'Yorisoi', showcasing a mild sweetness. These drinks are available at a promotional price of 290 yen on weekdays, encouraging patrons to enjoy a unique food and drink pairing. If they reach sales of 50,000 cups, the promotional price will extend into the following month!

Takeaway Delights
