About this place
When ordering several kushi-katsu skewers, it is good to be able to mix vegetables and seafood. Diners have said that Higekatsu’s thin, crisp batter is easy to eat, and that the light-tasting sauce complements the skewers without overpowering them. One comment noted that the batter made it easy to keep ordering more. A good approach might be to start with classic kushi-katsu and add any fillings that catch your eye.
Among the seafood options, one diner singled out the prawn as especially memorable. The same person recalled that the sardine was tender, with no bothersome bones, and that the whiting was delicious too. The menu offers plenty of choice whether you want to focus on seafood skewers or mix in vegetables and meat.
Doteyaki is another option if you would like to add a small dish before the skewers. One diner said they had it with konnyaku, describing the white miso flavour as gently sweet. It can be enjoyed between skewers, and one diner also chose a soft-boiled egg to finish the meal, leaving room to think about how you would like to round things off.
Drinks include draft and bottled beer, sake, and chūhai in flavours such as lemon and ume. One diner mentioned pairing beer with kushi-katsu. For a non-alcoholic option, there is oolong tea or cider.
Higekatsu does not accept reservations, and visitors are advised that waits can be lengthy. Payment is cash only, so bear that in mind when planning a visit.
