About this place
From classic grilled skewers and handmade tsukune to vegetable-and-meat wraps and comforting dashi-infused dishes, DENSUKE in Shimo-Igusa offers a thoughtfully crafted menu. The restaurant provides an unhurried, calm atmosphere where guests can unwind with yakitori and drinks.
The skewer selection covers staple cuts including chicken thigh (momo), negima, chicken heart (hatsu), liver, and tail (bonjiri), alongside cartilage (nankotsu) and tender chicken tenderloin (sasami). In addition to the popular house-made tsukune, seasonal vegetable skewers like shiitake and lotus root sit alongside creative rolls, such as king oyster mushrooms or scallions wrapped in pork belly.
Between rounds of grilled skewers, delicate small plates provide a change of pace. Gentle yudofu simmered in dashi broth, satoimo (taro) salad, and grilled beef tendon skewers complement the yakitori. For a satisfying finish, diners can order a bowl of seasoned ground chicken soboro don or house-prepared inari sushi featuring rotating fillings.
The beverage lineup features draft beer, fresh-squeezed lemon sours, highballs, warm or chilled sake, and shochu. Whether dropping in for a solitary dinner or settling in for a quiet evening drink with a companion, DENSUKE is an accommodating local stop.
