Exciting New Opening of Kushi Katsu Tanaka in Tsukuba

Kushi Katsu Tanaka, a subsidiary of Kushi Katsu Tanaka Holdings, is thrilled to announce the opening of its latest outlet in Tsukuba on December 16, 2025. This new location is situated directly at the Tokyu Train Station’s exit A5, featuring a space designed to cater not only to business professionals and students but also to families. The vibrant city of Tsukuba, known for being a center of educational development and boasting a rich natural environment, is the perfect backdrop for this new dining venue.

Grand Opening Celebration

In celebration of its opening right before the holiday season, Kushi Katsu Tanaka will hold an exciting campaign from December 9 to 15, where patrons can enjoy The Premium Malt’s Ale for a special price of 290 yen (tax included 319 yen). This promotion aims to draw in both regulars and newcomers keen to indulge in delicious food and a lively atmosphere.

Signature Menu Items

One of the highlights of this location will be its signature dish—the “Infinite Garlic Hormones Skewers.” Launched only six months ago, this innovative dish has rapidly gained popularity, exceeding 1 million servings sold. Designed to complement alcoholic drinks, these skewers are priced at an approachable 50 yen (tax included 55 yen) and feature a delicious garlic soy sauce dip, making them irresistible for late-night cravings.
