Yakitori under the lanterns, sake within reach燈下燒鳥，杯中有酒

Kuki sits behind its red samurai sign on High Street: a neighbourhood izakaya with an Osaka heart. Kushikatsu and oden are the house specialities, set in a seasonal Japanese kitchen with a touch of Western influence, from casual bites and hot plates to skewers, mains and desserts.九鬼就在高街那塊紅色武士招牌後面：一間帶著大阪靈魂的街坊居酒屋。串炸與關東煮是本店招牌，配上帶點西式風格的季節日本料理，由輕食、鐵板到串燒、主菜與甜品都有。

Tables are few and the room fills fast, so booking ahead is the local habit. Bring your own bottle if you like, Kuki is BYOB friendly. And if you cannot decide, ask for Ivan, the host who happily makes recommendations.座位不多，好快滿座，街坊都習慣先訂位。想飲自己那支酒？無問題，九鬼歡迎自攜酒水。唔知點揀的話，可以搵店長 Ivan，佢好樂意幫你推介。
