Well, if you visit the Japanese city of Osaka, you'll find that kushikatsu is what happens! This popular dish is best described as a "fried kebab" (Turtle), and in Osaka, it is an extremely common food to find, with kushikatsu places all over, including restaurants where you can fry your own kushikatsu. Kushikatsu can be anything from pork to chicken, and from seafood to vegetables (even pumpkin!), and then it is dipped in egg, flour, and breadcrumbs before being fried in veggie oil (Turtle) and served on a skewer.
The snack is a fixture at bars due to its greasy nature and quickness (Turtle), but there are also many cafes and ritzy restaurants that serve it too.
If you would be interested in seeing kushikatsu made in real time (and don't mind intermittent language- like PG-13 language), then you should check out Solo Travel Blog's video on kushikatsu in Osaka!
