Osaka, Japan｜Watanabeya

gorgeous tatami restaurant with kind staff who helped me translate the menu, i got kaisendon (sashimi on rice) and many side dishes for only ¥1,100 ($10 CAD!)

I received the Shirasu Tsukimidon. Since it is raw whitebait, it has a thick texture, and the addition of the yolk creates a thicker texture that brings out the flavor. I felt that the meal was well-balanced with small side dishes, soup stock, and salad. The atmosphere of the shop has a Japanese style and feels open, so even though I visited during the day, it felt like a relaxing time. The staff are friendly, and the atmosphere where they talk friendly with the regulars makes you feel like you're part of a family. This time, I ordered a fish dish, but there was also meat and noodles, so I felt like there was a lot of variety. Next time, I think I'll order meat or noodles.

A seafood izakaya within a 5-minute walk from Fukaebashi Station It is located on the 1st floor of the building. Regarding the menu Since it's a seafood izakaya, people tend to think that they only serve fish, but they serve not only fish but also meat, and both fish and meat are delicious and recommended for those who want a nice lunch or dinner. Quite rich in carbohydrates There are a variety of oyakodon, garlic rice, fried rice, tenmusu, soba, etc. Regarding customer service The employees are also polite and friendly. Regarding the price It costs 4,000 to 6,000 yen per person and will fill you up quite a bit. I was able to eat delicious food and drink alcohol, and I felt that the price was cheap. There is a wide variety of lunch menus, a wide variety of dinner menus, and a wide variety of alcoholic beverages, so you can often see regulars greeting each other and eating together.
