🥢Rantei Minami Honmachi Branch 📍Osaka Honmachi (2 minutes walk from Honmachi Station) This time, I ordered: -Rantei-style steamed chicken (1,870 yen) -Rantei special sweet and sour pork (1,870 yen) -Fluffy fried white fish and egg white (1,650 yen) -Black fried rice (1,210 yen) -Xiaolongbao (660 yen) -Almond tofu (605 yen) This time, I tried the recommended menu of the restaurant. ✔Rantei-style steamed chicken The plump and tender steamed chicken is a perfect match with plenty of green onions and the spicy chili threads. 💗 The spiciness was slightly numbing, and the taste was so good that it lingered after a while. ☺️ ✔Sweet and sour pork Rantei's signature sweet and sour pork is made of quite large pieces of pork, which are firm and very juicy. The crispy pork is very satisfying to eat! The grated garlic and green onions add a nice accent to this dish, which goes well with alcohol✨ ✔Softly fried white fish and egg white White fish wrapped in fluffy egg white. Mixing it with runny eggs makes it even creamier💗 It's thick like a thick sauce, and I have a feeling it would go well with white rice☺️ ✔Black fried rice The egg mixed with the fragrant fried rice is irresistible💕 I could eat a whole plate of this🥰 ✔Xiaolongbao The meat juices packed with umami fill your mouth! The chewy dough was satisfying to eat. ✔Almond jelly This was really delicious and surprising. It's filling, so you'll definitely want to eat it at the end of the meal✨ It has a firm texture and is very smooth💗 It was almond jelly that I'd definitely like to eat again! All the dishes are very filling, so they are perfect for sharing💕 I want to go with a large group and order a variety of things🙌 Thank you for the meal🙏 ✍️The restaurant was clean and spacious, with table seats and sunken kotatsu seats. This time I was guided to a sunken kotatsu seat, but it seems like it could be used for a banquet with a large group☺️ They also have set menus for one person, so it's a perfect place to drink alone! . . . . 📌3-3-19 Minami Honmachi, Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture ⏱11:00-14:30 17:30-22:30 (until 22:00 on Saturdays) 🗓Closed on Sundays and holidays . . . . #Rantei#Rantei Minami Honmachi Branch#Honmachi Gourmet#Honmachi Dinner#Honmachi Chinese#Honmachi Lunch#Osaka Gourmet#Osaka Lunch#Osaka Outing#Osaka Sightseeing#Osaka Trip#0 Yen TripFebruary 2025

#getgoing2025 Tawanico（タワニコ） Cafe tawanico is located in Tenmabashi, Osaka, and is one of my favorite places to stop by whenever I visit Osaka. On this particular day, I ordered the strawberry millefeuille, the most popular dessert in spring. The homemade pie is baked every morning and the surface is caramelized for each order. The homemade custard, mascarpone cream, and strawberries are a perfect match! The accompanying chamomile milk tea ice cream was fragrant and elegant.

Namba, Osaka is an area that has many must-eat delicacies. The underground shopping mall connected to the station provides good options. #すし酒場 さしす is a popular innovative sushi izakaya in Osaka. The restaurant is decorated with bright wood and has a modern Japanese feel. When I arrived on Friday night, I saw quite a few people queuing up, and most of them were local young people. It took about 20 minutes to queue up, and it would be faster if you sit at the bar table. There is a menu with pictures and text, as well as Chinese and English translations, so ordering is not too difficult. ✨Sushiya Potesara (JPY 440) In addition to the granular potatoes, salmon roe and flying fish roe are also added to make the taste richer. 🐟サバ缶サダ (JPY 490) This is canned mackerel salad. It is served straight from the can, with the mackerel topped with plenty of spicy raw onions. Very crispy texture, but the taste is too strong, I personally don't like it. 🦐Episode 7-SEVEN- (JPY 1080) There was a raw egg on top of 7 shrimps and sushi rice inside. It is delicious when mixed with raw eggs and eaten later, and this is what many people order here. Of course, you should also order some sushi. There are many items. You can order one item individually or a combination of three. 🍣Honmaguro Sanmai (JPY 530) & Yakimono Sanmai (JPY 570) The former lets you taste the fishiest redfish, the tender middle toro, and the marinated toro all at once. The latter includes the grilled fish fat that makes the fish more fragrant, the chewy red shrimp and the plump and fragrant salmon. 🍣 Aji (JPY 280) & Unagi (JPY 450) The meat of horse mackerel is firm and elastic, and it tastes great when paired with ginger and scallions. The eel meat is also very delicate and tender, and with just the right amount of eel sauce, it tastes sweet. Total: JPY 5643 (10% tax included) JPY 1881 per person, which means less than HKD 100. It’s really good value. In addition to the above meals, we also had some drinks. . .

We found a long-established local Japanese restaurant near Hotel Keihan Yodoyabashi in Osaka: なべ料理 よし富. It has a history of more than sixty years. The stairs and doors of the restaurant exude a strong retro atmosphere, as if taking us back to the past. This place is famous for its offal hotpot and is a popular place for local office workers to drink beer and chat after get off work. We ordered the signature pork intestines hotpot and miso pork kimchi hotpot, which were rich in flavor and very appetizing. What was special was that the waiter brought a large rice bowl and let us take as much rice as we wanted, which made us feel the warmth and comfort of home. This meal is not only about tasting delicious food, but also an experience of in-depth local culture.

I ordered the Tsukemen with fish-based soy sauce. Unlike the common thick and sticky Tsukemen soup, this one was a light fish-based soup. The mini seared chashu rice bowl that came with the lunch set was sweet and spicy, complementing the Tsukemen well. The meal was satisfyingly filling with a complimentary pudding at the end. 【Shop】Ramen Tsukemen Okamoto Shouten Hanare 【Location】B1F, Fair Stage Otemae Building, 2-1-22 Tanimachi, Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture 【Business Hours】 Mon-Fri 11:00-22:00 Sat & Holidays 11:00-18:00 Sunday 11:00-15:00 【Access】 About 5 minutes on foot from Temmabashi Station on the Subway Tanimachi Line and Keihan Line About 7 minutes on foot from Tanimachi Yonchome Station on the Subway Tanimachi Line and Chuo Line Visit Date: April 2024
