Kushikatsu Tanaka Ueno 6-chome — Restaurant in Tokyo

I went with a friend tonight. We wanted to eat takoyaki and the other famous restaurant was too crowded so we went there. It's my first real takoyaki and it was really good. We were forced to pick a drink, I took the "pickle beer" thingy and it was really good too. The prices were decent.

Speaking as my first time eating kushikatsu after hearing about it from it from a friend. I had a great experience here, friendly staff, creative food, a fun mash it yourself potato salad, and the kushikatsu was fried to perfection! Had a kushikatsu fried matcha kit kat bar and it was so dang good. Think fried oreo but better! Highly recommend this...
