Good evening! I’m Thuy, a staff member here at Kutsurogi in Namba –
Shinsaibashi – Nagahoribashi.
Lately, the summer heat has been relentless — from morning to night, it’s
that kind of muggy weather that can really kill your appetite, right?
To help you stay cool and refreshed after a long day, we’d love to
introduce a simple yet sensational appetizer that’s not only perfect for
hot weather but also pairs beautifully with a cold draft beer.
It’s the beloved Japanese dish: Tako Wasabi.
This popular izakaya-style appetizer features fresh octopus leg tossed with
wasabi, shiso leaves, and a chilled, thickened sauce called Gin-an. The
result? A flavor-packed, textural delight that wakes up your taste buds.
Just imagine: on a hot day, you take a sip of cold draft beer, then enjoy a
bite of tender, slightly chewy octopus—cool and refreshing—with a hint of
wasabi heat and the distinctive aroma of shiso, all wrapped together in the
smooth, glossy Gin-an sauce. Doesn’t that sound incredible?
Let’s beat the summer heat and loss of appetite with a cold draft beer and
our signature Tako Wasabi appetizer here at Kutsurogi!
We’re always ready to serve you a chilled drink and welcome you into the
relaxing, air-conditioned comfort of our restaurant.
