📍 Osaka · 👁 1187 reads

Tennoji Station is a very convenient stop in the Osaka sightseeing area. The streets on the north side have a bit of a retro atmosphere, and at night many izakaya light up their signs. This area is called 'Hanwa Shopping Street,' also known as 'Ura Tennoji.' This time, I visited three shops in the Ura Tennoji area and would like to introduce them!

'Izakaya Taneyoshi' is a standing drinking spot. As soon as I entered, I was surprised by the extensive menu. Each snack is cheap per item, and the place is always full of customers. They offer delicacies from all over Japan and the world, from famous to rare. With over 300 dishes, it's not easy to choose. Here are some must-order dishes.

● 'Hell Tofu'

Loaded with chili peppers, it's spicy but addictive the more you eat.

A spring roll themed after the Osaka landmark 'Abeno Harukas' (Japan's tallest building, 'Abeno Harukas'). It's over 30 cm tall! This kind of creative idea can only be found in Osaka.

This is the owner, a very easygoing and cheerful person.

Sashimi, grilled fish, skewers, etc., all at 385 yen (tax included). Because the prices are reasonable, the shop is filled with regulars. There are also many seasonal recommended dishes that change daily—conch, large clams, and other seafood and meats are all 385 yen. Since payment is based on the number of plates, you can just stack the plates after eating.

Robatayaki Shinriki

[Closed] Sundays and holidays

Freshness goes without saying, the ingredients are large and generous, and the prices are very attractive, so there is often a line. Notably, there is a waiting area not only outside but also inside the shop. Famous for the slogan 'Seafood cheap and delicious,' the seafood is excellent and reasonably priced. By 8 PM, almost all ingredients are used up, so it's recommended to go early.

Sushi Center Ura Tennoji

At any of these shops, the style is more 'eat quickly and move on to the next place' than 'enjoy a leisurely meal.' Although the menus are only in Japanese, the prices are very reasonable, so brave souls can give it a try.
