Sakai, Osaka, Japan｜Oyaji

A small space, but packed with greatness! The atmosphere is great, the food is fresh and comes out quick, the staff is friendly, and the beer is refreshing. The sashimi platter is phenomenal (and comes with uni) and should be top on your list of things to order. Everything was executed perfectly!

A very authentic local izakaya. When I came to the store at 17:30, there were already some fast people, and by 18:30, the store was already full of people. It is a shop run by a family. The son is the chef, the grandfather is the assistant, and the grandmother is the waitress. It is very harmonious and lively. The food is all fresh and very delicious. We recommend the tuna belly and amberjack sashimi. They are full of oil and very fresh. The spicy mustard fish and fried bitter melon are also delicious. All the people here are local residents. I am the only foreigner. This experience is very worthwhile and the price is very reasonable.

Love this place. The Oyaji was friendly. Taste of dishes here is great. Sashimi here is really fresh.
