The story
Kushi Kawa brings the focused craft of kushiage—Japanese deep-fried skewers—to a slender storefront in Seoul’s Gangnam-gu. The restaurant’s counter dining setup places guests directly in front of the kitchen, where each skewer is prepared with precision and served in sequence.
For 2026, Michelin recognized Kushi Kawa with a Recommended status, highlighting its dedication to this specialized cuisine. The intimate setting and skilled execution make it a destination for those seeking authentic kushiage in the city. Without a menu to hide behind, the cooking speaks for itself—simple ingredients, clean frying, and the rhythm of the counter.
