Kushi-age Dinner and a little Japanese Gambling!



We had the chance to get together with our friends Yumiko and Dan Tanno who took us to another fun, first time restaurant and food type here in Tokyo called Kushi-age. Kushi-age is a Japanese style deep fried Kebob. In Japanese, Kushi refers to the skewers used. For Kushi-age, you take small pieces of meat and vegetables, place them on a skewer, coat them in wheat flour, dip them in breadcrumbs and put them in a deep fryer. We had deep fried cheese, asparagus, crab, broccoli, sweet potato, and meat. We also had a plate of sashimi (octopus, tuna, white fish and smoked oyster) as well as organic vegetables with a few different sauces to dip them in. Kushi-age is regional to Osaka, but you can find it in random places throughout Japan as well.

After dinner, we walked by what I would call the closest thing to a U.S. Casino. I have seen a ton of Pachinko places, but not many slot machine type places. I had to go in and take a few pictures for my parents (whose love of casinos is well known!), and we ended up playing for a little while.
