ChefMr. Tsutomu Hasegawa and Mr. Tsuyoshi Nakamura

Twenty-six years ago, when the head chef Mr. Hasegawa was honing his skills as a Japanese cuisine chef, he took over a kushikatsu restaurant that had been in operation for eight years, thus starting "Kushikatsu Aabon." After much trial and error, he established the current style of creative kushikatsu, leveraging his experience in Japanese cuisine. The number of fans continues to grow. Mr. Nakamura learned Japanese cooking at a culinary school and was refining his skills in the kitchen of a Japanese restaurant in Shinsaibashi when he met Mr. Hasegawa. Captivated by his personality, he decided to work in the kitchen of Aabon and continues to support the restaurant as the head chef.

Food "20 Light and Skillfully Crafted Kushi Katsu That Won't Affect You the Next Day"

The incredibly light kushi-katsu (skewered and deep-fried food) from Aabon. The secret lies in the quality of the oil and the chef's skilled technique. The oil used is Dutch lard, which the chef describes as "the best oil in the world." The restaurant operates with two shifts a day, and after the first shift, all the oil is discarded and replaced. This is a commitment that has been upheld since the establishment, ensuring that all guests can enjoy kushi-katsu of the same quality. With the chef's oil-draining technique added to that oil, the kushi-katsu is completed with such lightness that you might even forget about the batter.

Space"Welcoming Smiles and Retro Expressions in a Cozy Atmosphere"

The interior of the restaurant, which consists of four tables and fifteen counter seats, is meticulously maintained and exudes a retro Western dining atmosphere with a warm wooden touch. Inside the counter that curves around the kitchen, a large, beautifully polished copper pot stands out prominently. The friendly and cheerful staff, including the head chef and the main chef who are stationed in front of the pot, create a homely atmosphere that is one of the reasons why enthusiastic fans continue to return, overcoming the challenge of making a reservation.
