Osaka, Japan｜福島酒場

Nice restaurant with really really tasty food. Enjoyed everything about the different ways they prepared pork and they have a great beer special!

This seems to be an affiliated store with ``Omori Shoten,'' a standing bar and pork skewer restaurant that I went to a while ago, near Fukushima Station on the JR Loop Line. Although the store name is different, the menu structure is almost the same. It's nice that they open early and you can have lunch there. There are 19 seats at the counter, but there are 16 table seats in the back. According to Tabelog, business hours are 11:00-23:00 and open all year round.

An izakaya that mainly serves pork, located about a 3-minute walk from JR Fukushima & Shin-Fukushima Station. This izakaya is open from early hours and offers both standing and table seating. I entered the restaurant on a Saturday evening with no prior knowledge and low expectations, but contrary to my expectations, all of the menu items were high-priced for an izakaya. The pork skewers, such as the levateki and green onion skewers, were especially delicious. The price is also reasonable. I ordered the all-you-can-drink option for 2 hours, but with this kind of food, the alcohol is also delicious.
