Osaka, Japan｜チーフの居酒屋

A true taste experience! Exquisite ingredients and innovative preparation! Great Japanese Izakaya with an authentic atmosphere! We recommend having the chef prepare a tasting menu for you - with all kinds of fish and vegetables! Particularly recommended: small white shrimps, homemade tofu and raw aubergine!!!

Very delicious and nice.

A store with surprisingly good reviews among Koreans. Day 1. As soon as I entered, the first thing I saw was a row of seats in front of the so-called chef, “Dachi,” who I had only seen in movies and dramas. Perhaps thanks to the people who came before, about half of the menu was easily translated into Korean, and thanks to that, I was able to order salt-grilled mackerel and a chef-style salad. But the chief suddenly recommended a menu item, so I ordered egg rolls as well. I think it was a unique pleasure to watch the chief cook the snacks I would eat after placing my order. The first highball I ordered came out frozen, and it was enough to give my tired body a break from walking around. I also ordered the leishu, which is written on the table and said to be a favorite among Koreans, and even though I don't like Cheongju that much, I was satisfied enough to order it in succession. What I ate on the first day were egg rolls, salad, salt-grilled mackerel, and tuna, and if the price isn't a burden, I don't want to miss any of them. Day 2 I went back in to have a quick drink before heading back to Korea. Today again, I was lucky enough to sit at a table full of regulars. I don't know if the Chief recognized me yesterday, but with our inner intimacy growing even more, he ordered me to play a highball again. Raw French fries served for the first time to enjoy lightly. Seasoned with salt and pepper and topped with butter to add flavor, it was a perfect side dish for drinking. While I was having a drink, I saw that another Korean group couldn't come in because there were no seats, so I selfishly felt lucky that I was able to come in quickly and eat. After that, there was grilled eel, and the salt seasoning seemed to whet the appetite again. Was it around the time when you thought, “I wish I could eat more?” When I saw the group of Koreans who came next to us open the door again and close it shyly, I thought I should make room for other Koreans. I am writing this article thinking that this is an izakaya that I will definitely come back to the next time I come to Osaka.
