自家製タレが旨いサクサク「串カツ」、こだわり出汁まで飲みほせる美味しい「おでん」。コスパもよい好印象なお店です。 : Kumamoto Kushikatsu Wasamon Sakaba

I visited "Kumamoto Kushikatsu Wasamon Sakaba" for the first time. I noticed a sign in front of the shop that said, ``Have you ever had really delicious kushikatsu?'' and I was curious. The inside of the store is a small space with a great view. Perhaps because it was early in the evening, the shop owner was alone. Looking at the menu, there are kushikatsu, oden, two appetizers, and a grab-and-go menu! A menu that you can enjoy right away. The first thing that surprised me was the ``two appetizers'' → 300 yen, and the ``cabbage platter and whitebait radish'' with ``free refills.'' Next, the grab-and-go menu ``edamame tori'' → 380 yen. I think it's better for people with bigger hands. What I ordered this time: ・Free refills for two appetizers → 300 yen ・Assorted 10 kushikatsu → 980 yen ・Soft-boiled potato salad → 280 yen Additional order ・5 assorted oden → 480 yen Drinks: Carbonated water → 180 yen ●Kushikatsu Assortment This time, there were 10 pieces: chikuwa cheese, squid, cheese ham cutlet, young corn, Japanese yam, lean beef, pork belly, shiso shiso, chicken, and sweet potato. The ingredients are slightly larger than the authentic kushikatsu, which makes me happy. It was fried crispy using canola oil. Best of all, the sauce is good. Unlike commercially available sauces, the homemade sauce doesn't have any sharp taste, and it enhances the flavor while bringing out the flavor of the ingredients in the kushikatsu. Even if you soak it in a lot, it won't just taste like sauce, but will bring out the flavor of the ingredients with a good amount of salt. It was delicious. ●Soft-boiled potato salad A whole half-boiled egg is added to the potato salad. Japanese-style dressing is also applied. The owner told me to break the eggs and stir them before eating, so I did just that. good! I wonder why I didn't notice this person eating it until now. The yolk of the soft-boiled egg wraps the potato salad, making it much more palatable. I wonder if this is what "meltingly melting" means. Another good point is that it is served immediately after ordering. I added some twists to the dish, such as putting it on a kushikatsu with some sauce, and it was delicious. ●Assortment of five oden dishes The top five most popular oden dishes at the shop were written on the blackboard, and the assortment seemed to cover almost everything. thank you. First of all, the homemade oden soup stock is delicious. In addition to soy sauce from Amakusa, seven kinds of domestic ingredients are added to make the soup stock. It's even posted on the wall of the store, with detailed explanations from the store owner. I feel deeply attached to it. It was an oden soup that was never too boiled, exuded elegance, and was very delicious, so you could drink it. Among the ingredients, the radish and fried tofu were impressive. The radish is bigger than anything else. The diameter is about 5 to 6 cm, but the thickness is about 3 cm, which is twice the normal thickness. Even though it's so big, the soup has soaked into the center. amazing. The homemade tofu is deep-fried to a deep golden brown on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside. I heard that they use silken tofu. A very elaborate item. It was a bit of an emotional level. From a cost performance standpoint, it was a great value. The ``kushikatsu'', ``oden'', and ``half-boiled potato salad'' were three memorable dishes. I was happy to get a glimpse of the store's commitment, and it was fun. I'll be visiting again with some friends. Thank you for the meal. Thank you♪＼(^^)／
