Satsumaage no Agetateya (さつまあげの揚立屋) Tenmonkan Branch

Flow of the course

About this spot

A specialty shop where you can enjoy freshly fried satsuma-age on the spot. Kagoshima's satsuma-age is characteristically made with slightly sweet white fish paste, and the fluffy, subtly sweet flavor is even more exceptional when freshly fried. Beyond plain varieties, there are numerous options including cheese-filled and vegetable-filled, allowing you to enjoy both an immediate bite and take-home selections. Located along the Tenmonkan arcade, it's conveniently located to wrap up your food walk. Biting into a piping hot satsuma-age brings a satisfying conclusion to your day of Kagoshima flavors—from confections to black pork to shaved ice—ending with a lingering, savory finish.

Tips

Freshly fried pieces are very hot, so watch out for burns; wet wipes are handy for greasy fingers. For souvenirs, a cooler bag makes carrying easier and safer. Popular varieties may sell out, so if something catches your eye, grab it while it's available.

Best time to visit

Approximately 50 minutes. Late afternoon, as the finale to your food walk, lets you savor a hot piece while enjoying the lingering energy of the arcade.
