Han
is a Japanese eatery that prides itself on kushikatsu, a fried food staple of Osaka. Kushikatsu are skewers deep fried in a
light batter, flour and panko, and are one of the least known staples of
Japanese cuisine. At Han you’ll get to enjoy the fine-dining version of this
Japanese treat. Kushikatsu is the main reason to make a pilgrimage to Han,
which is housed in a modern and minimalist setting reminiscent of a serene
retreat. The best way to enjoy your fried delicacies is to sit at the counter
and take in all the action as the chefs and his loyal team deep fry tantalizing
morsels of fish, vegetables and beef, which you can dip them in an array of
sauces lined up under your nose (the chef will tell you, with much authority,
what sauce you’re supposed to pair with each dish). It’s hard to believe that
you’re gorging on deep-fried food as you enjoy the soft texture of each skewer
but in the hands of a skilled Japanese chef, even much-maligned fried food becomes
a delicacy to savour and treasure. Han is located at 331 North Bridge Road,
#01-04, Odeon Towers. Tel: 6336 2466
