Welcome to Himeji Oden And Kushikatsu

“ Fantastic traditional izakaya, great kushi katsu. Suitable for English only speakers. ”

“ In Himeji, head to the famous Himeji oden restaurant! ＼(^o^)／ Just a one-minute walk from Himeji Station, we arrived at Himeji Noren Street. We had originally planned to make it a day trip, but the Kintetsu train was delayed, so we ended up missing the return trip and ended up staying the night at the same hotel as everyone else. That meant we had dinner but still wanted to go out for drinks. So, I did some Tabelog research again and found this restaurant. When we stepped inside the noren, the six seniors were already there (lol). They had it set at the table next to us, and we toasted with plum wine! The oden itself was lightly seasoned and incredibly delicious, but I wondered what exactly makes Himeji oden so good? Wow! It's supposed to be eaten with ginger soy sauce!! We shared a platter of seven kinds of Himeji oden, shaking it gently and pouring ginger soy sauce over it. It goes so well together! What is this? It's so good!!!!! Kyaaaaaaaaaa! It really is local cuisine, and it truly lives up to its name. It's so tasty! Seriously the best! I absolutely loved it! Since it's also a kushikatsu restaurant, we also ordered a Camembert cheese skewer. This cheese was so good! We also ordered a regular pork skewer. The total for two people was about 4,600 yen. It was perfect for a little fun, and definitely worth it. On our way out, we snapped a photo of Himeji Castle, illuminated with lights, from the HIMEJI monument in front of the station. It's a little far away, so we zoomed in (closed up), and it looked like this. Everyone was taking commemorative photos. It was a fun time, even on a cold night. I'm glad we decided to stay the night after all. ＼(^o^)／ If you have time, please visit Princess Cinderella's blog, Instagram, and YouTube! ”

“ The classic combination is delicious. The staff are friendly. I think Himeji has a unique character. If you're not used to it, the language may seem strong, but it's actually friendly. ”

“ There's this one right next to Himeji Station. Seating: Counter and table seating How to order: Ask the staff I stopped by on my way back from Himeji Castle! They had lunch, but I also had a Himeji oden platter and kushikatsu platter, which I really wanted, and toasted with a draft beer! I shook the ginger soy sauce on the table well and poured it over the oden before eating! It was my first time, but it was delicious! The kushikatsu was also delicious, and I finished my draft beer in no time. (^^) ⬜︎Oden platter ⬜︎Kushikatsu platter ”

“ It's a food stall-style restaurant and at first glance it may seem intimidating, but once inside, you'll find Showa-era pop songs playing and a nice retro feel! It's a little small, but all the food served is delicious! The oden in particular is flavorful and tasty! It goes really well with the ginger soy sauce that's unique to Himeji! It's even better with mustard! I'll definitely come back here again for a relaxing drink with friends. ”

“ I stopped by here while enjoying the cherry blossoms at Himeji Castle. I was looking for some Himeji soul food, so I found this restaurant and decided to stop by! I had Himeji oden, hinepon, and Himeji's B-grade gourmet champon-yaki. Everything was delicious and the portions were generous. It was a restaurant that left me wanting to keep eating and drinking. I'll definitely visit again when I'm in Himeji. Thank you for the meal. ”

“ 2025/6/16 Lunch A cozy little shop, the staff looks very individual and enthusiastic. If you order a combination of seven kinds of oden, some are random. Although it is a pity that I didn’t eat the konjac in the shape of Himeji Castle, each one is very tasty, especially the white radish and cabbage rolls, which are very delicious with the special ginger soy sauce. The fried skewers are also delicious. I didn’t expect that there are even fried siomai. They are very crispy and don’t have a greasy smell! The seats in the store are quite narrow, and it is a semi-open space, but the air conditioning is strong enough not to get hot. ”

“ I was heading to Himeji and was searching for delicious options, and the octopus croquettes looked delicious, so I made a reservation. Apparently, octopus prices are so high right now that they can't offer it at a reasonable price, so they removed it from the menu. It was a shame, but I finally got my hands on the Himeji oden! It was a bit rich, but the ginger made it refreshing and delicious. The kushikatsu was also delicious. The owner's conversation was fun, so it was a great experience. ”
