💡 Tips for Visitors

Most kushikatsu restaurants follow a strict no double-dipping rule for the communal sauce—dip once only or use the provided cabbage to scoop more. Cash is preferred at many smaller establishments, though larger venues accept cards. Visit in the evening when the neon signs create the most atmospheric experience, and try the area's specialty kushikatsu at spots like Daruma or Yokozuna.
