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!
