Kushihide

Frommer's Review

Behind the counter of this 50-year-old eatery are some 400 individual sake cups inscribed with the names of regular customers; the cook joked that this way, the cups didn't have to be washed. Washed or unwashed, they're testimony to the popularity of this simple eating and drinking venue. As soon as you sit down, a large bowl of cabbage with a dip and an appetizer will be placed in front of you. The restaurant is famous for its fried chicken leg and thigh for ¥900 ($7.50/£3.75), included in some of the set meals, but it also offers other chicken dishes as well, including chicken sukiyaki, chicken burgers, fried chicken (senzanki), and even chicken sashimi (the restaurant claims to be one of the few places you can eat it safely, as the restaurant raises its own chickens and serves them the day of their demise). In fact, chicken or chicken broth is a part of virtually every dish offered here -- even in its ice cream.
