Osaka, Japan｜新中国料理HARAKAWA 北新地店

We visited "New Chinese Restaurant HARAKAWA" in Kitashinchi Hondori "FOODEAR"♫ This month's lunch is mapo tofu or sweet and sour cold noodles. ・ Appetizer: Dried meat and Japanese pepper sauce ~Octopus marinated in Shaoxing wine 〜Pitan〜 ・Soup ~Myoga and Ginger Soup~ ・Main dish: mapo noodles ・Optional: Steamed Omonhata ・Dessert ~Spicy Brulee~ Nice timing in the order of arrival bowl & arrival plate, all of which were quite elaborate dishes and the taste was amazing, I had a transcendence gorgeous lunch (*´-`) For the mapo noodles that I asked for, I said, "Just pour the mapo tofu over the noodles." (*´꒳`*) I was able to enjoy a luxurious combination of thin noodles with a crisp texture and rich mapo tofu with a strong umami flavor thanks to the divine response unique to a shop that has a lot of drawers. I would definitely like to visit the night business in the near future and enjoy the exquisite Chinese food!

In September, I went to Harakawa on the first day of Kitashinchi Lunch, prepared to wait in line. I happened to have a seat and was lucky to be seated immediately. I didn't have time, so I chose a 1500 yen lunch. The appetizers, which are slightly larger in number, are all delicate and delicious, and the soup that comes out next is super exquisite! The umami and flavor of the dried shrimp and the melty texture of the winter melon that soaked up the flavor of the Chinese soup were just right, and when served alone with the soup for lunch, the authentic taste was worth around 2,000 to 3,000 yen. It's already addictive! For the main course, I always order Harakawa's special mapo tofu, which has the deep flavor and richness of the homemade bean sauce and the fresh, tangy aroma of the freshly-printed Japanese pepper. The fact that there is no lingering aftertaste, only the pleasant aftertaste of the refreshing spices, is perhaps due to the time and effort put into making this bean sauce by hand. For my birthday today, they prepared a special dessert plate and Chinese tea for me by pouring hot water over the tea leaves and making a special surprise for me. I am so grateful that I was able to find such a wonderful shop where the hospitality of all the staff was excellent and my body and soul were satisfied! Please continue to do your best without giving in to the coronavirus. There are a lot of cost-effective lunches in Kitashinchi, but not every restaurant has everything in terms of taste, quantity, cost performance, luxury, exceptional quality, atmosphere, and hospitality, but I think this one is really a great value for everything. Masu. Always very satisfied! I will ask you again and again ♡

The Kitashinchi branch of a locally famous Chinese restaurant with its head office in Sakai City. The monthly course here is great value for money, and the owner-chef has trained at a famous restaurant for many years, so all the dishes are delicious♪ The lunch menu is very popular, as it has been featured in many gourmet programs, and the location is also very convenient. There is a spacious and luxurious facility, but it is worth using for dinner. This time we had the 16000 course, but we were very satisfied with everything from appetizers to desserts. Is this price really acceptable? ? A style where you can choose what you want to eat as you want to finish it while incorporating plenty of amazing high-end ingredients! It has already become a hot topic as a wonderful cost-performance store in Kitashinchi! ! Highly recommended!
