Japan Ichi no Kushikatsu Yokozuna Tsutenkaku Branch

Located just a 3-minute walk from Tsutenkaku Tower, Yokozuna Tsutenkaku stands out with its bold exterior decorated with Billiken statues, sumo wrestler illustrations, and traditional lanterns.

This lively eatery offers over 50 varieties of kushikatsu, one of Osaka’s most iconic local delicacies. Each skewer is carefully crafted using premium ingredients, crispy batter, and high-quality oil, then fried to perfection. The signature sauce, perfected through trial and error, has a mildly sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with the skewers. Just remember—no double dipping! If you need more sauce, use the cabbage served on the side to scoop it up.
Beyond kushikatsu, the menu features a wide range of Osaka specialties, including the ever-popular chanko hot pot.

True to its name, "Yokozuna" also serves MEGA-sized dishes, perfect for those with a big appetite. The "Yokozuna Mori" includes giant portions of yakisoba, fried potatoes, and omurice, ensuring a satisfying feast.
With Shinsekai’s largest banquet hall, this restaurant is ideal for large gatherings, while private rooms with views of Tsutenkaku Tower provide a more intimate dining experience. Whether you're visiting with family, friends, or a big group, Yokozuna Tsutenkaku has something for everyone.
