After having a good laugh at the Yoshimoto Manzai Theater, it's a must to pay a visit to Glico in Osaka. Despite the overwhelming crowds in Dotonbori, it's nice to feel like we're back to pre-COVID times. Now, let's enjoy dinner at "Taimeshi Ginka" in Hozenji Yokocho. We have reserved the 5,830 yen omakase course with tai meshi. The counter on the right and the sunken kotatsu on the left are charming. Let's start with a beer. First, a small charcoal grill is prepared for grilling conger eel, squid, and seaweed. The squid is for sashimi, sprinkled with salt and lightly seared, while the conger eel is wrapped in seaweed after being rubbed with wasabi. The sashimi is beautifully presented on ice, with thick slices of various white fish from Wakayama, including swordfish, gure, red sea bream, striped horse mackerel, medium fatty tuna, and button shrimp. The thick slices make it a bit difficult to eat, but it feels luxurious. The white fish is delicious. The next course is a choice between grilled or simmered fish in a bucket. We choose grilled swordfish and simmered red sea bream. The fatty swordfish is tender and fluffy, while the red sea bream is soft and perfect for a palate cleanser. The shiro-na (white mustard greens) in dashi, okra and yagara tempura, vinegared dish, and white wine all complement each other well. We are too full for the tai meshi, so we ask for it to be packed for takeaway. We also enjoy miso soup and pickles. The lively head chef, who was busy with a full house and had to turn away some customers, emphasizes the importance of reservations on weekends. Hozenji Yokocho is a charming spot for tourists, and the Kansai seafood is definitely recommended. After paying 19,010 yen, we leave with a hearty "thank you" and enjoy the delicious tai meshi and homemade "tai miso" as souvenirs. The cold tai meshi eaten at the hotel is also fantastic. This is a must-try dish. Thank you for the meal!

I requested my respected senior to take me to the "sea bream rice" restaurant that I had been to before, and they kindly informed me that there is an even more delicious sea bream rice place! They made a reservation for us and took us to the restaurant located a bit inside the Hozenji Yokocho. After going up to the second floor in an elevator, we were greeted by a lively atmosphere and a delicious smell in the crowded restaurant. We sat in a cozy sunken kotatsu seat, ordered beer, and were served scallops and squid as appetizers. The staff explained the course menu in detail, and we ended up choosing the sea bream rice course. Among the four options for grilled fish, I chose sea bream based only on its freshness and image. The sashimi platter arrived beautifully presented on a dish with ice stairs. I savored the sashimi while being warned by the staff that the ice would melt. The grilled sea bream was served next, and its firm yet tender and flavorful meat made for a delightful experience. The clam soup was comforting, and the vegetable tempura, scallop tempura, and pickled vegetables were delicious. And then, the highlight - the sea bream rice! The combination of fluffy sea bream flavor and tangy rice was a true delight. I was so absorbed in the taste that I may have missed some of the senior's comments. The restaurant's ambiance, handwritten menu, and the way the flavors of the seafood danced on my palate left me intoxicated. The sea bream rice in the pot was for seconds, and the remaining portion was packed into onigiri for takeout. On our way out, the staff kindly reminded my senior about a forgotten neck cooler, and even the chefs took a moment to greet us. From start to finish, we felt appreciated and welcomed. Thank you so much, dear senior, for taking me to such an amazing restaurant! The souvenir sea bream rice onigiri disappeared in a moment of joy, as expected.

Taimeshi Ginke Namba is a seafood restaurant. I was looking for a place to go to that night, and initially tried calling Taimeshi Ginmaru, who said they could only take me in an hour, so I gave up and found this place instead. It seemed to be related to Ginmaru. When I arrived, the manager was very energetic and lively. The appetizer was grilled squid, which you could grill yourself and it was delicious. I had sashimi, grilled fish, simmered fish, and taimeshi, all of which were delicious! Especially the sashimi and grilled fish were excellent. I would love to go back again.

The squid served on a protruding net is delicious. It's even better when wrapped in seaweed and eaten in one bite. The sashimi pieces are large and have a great texture! Even if you can't finish the sea bream rice, they will make it into onigiri for you, and they also give female customers sea bream miso to take home. It's a kind restaurant. ❤️

The squid sashimi is delicious whether raw or seared. The wasabi grated in hiragana is a nice touch. The boiled yagara is not something I enjoy. The tempura shrimp is incredibly tasty. The sea bream rice is simple and elegant with a delicate sea bream broth. It's a bit pricey, but I was satisfied.

I was in Namba and feeling hungry, so I wandered around Hozenji Yokocho and decided to visit this restaurant because I was craving fish. Since I didn't have a reservation, I was seated at the counter. It turned out to be a great experience! There was a master chef right in front of me, showing me the fish and chatting with me. I had the sashimi of globefish, sea bream rice, and fish bone senbei. The globefish was shiny and delicious, just as I had expected. The texture was perfect for me! I highly recommend the sea bream rice and fish bone senbei, they are must-try dishes here. I prefer sitting at the counter rather than in a tatami room. I will definitely come back again. I also received a miso with minced sea bream as a souvenir! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I have been wanting to eat sea bream rice for a long time and finally had the opportunity to visit! There were a couple of course options, but I decided to go with a la carte! What I had this time was appetizer (grilled squid), bone senbei, sea grape, hagfish tempura, salt-grilled beltfish, and medium fatty tuna sashimi. Green soup comes with the sea bream rice. They also mentioned that if you can't finish it, you can take it home as onigiri. I got hooked on the bone senbei and ended up ordering it twice! The medium fatty tuna looked like meat and surprised me! It came on a big piece of ice, which was another surprise. It was a bit pricey for only 4 pieces, and I felt it was a bit expensive for an izakaya, but it's medium fatty tuna after all. It was slightly smelly, and I love fish but I am quite sensitive to any smell. The beltfish was soft and delicious with plenty of fat! On the way out, I received miso as a gift for women only. They said to dip it in raw vegetables or rice. This time, I was led to a private room, but I was a little concerned about the rice grains on the table. Thank you for the meal♪

I went to Taimeshi Ginga, a restaurant I wanted to visit. There is another restaurant called Taimeshi Gin○ on a street that does not enter Hozanji Yokocho, and it is easy to confuse the two as sister stores. I ordered the mini Taimeshi course. It included scallops, conger eel, sashimi, simmered fish, grilled fish, and Taimeshi, providing a sufficient amount of food. I enjoyed the meal and left satisfied.

A restaurant located in Namba, Osaka, on Hozanji Yokocho. I was taken here by my Osaka boss. The sashimi, grilled dishes, simmered dishes, overall the quality of the food was impressive. I couldn't take a picture inside with my boss, so I apologize for that. I would like to visit again.

I felt like eating seafood and decided to visit this restaurant known for its sea bream rice bowl. The appetizer was unexpectedly grilled squid. You get to grill it yourself! It was my first time experiencing this. The smell of grilling right in front of me made me thirsty. I also ordered some grilled shiitake mushrooms. They were delicious. I wasn't sure what to choose for sashimi, so I went with the assorted plate. It looked beautiful and tasted fresh and delicious. The wasabi was served as is, for you to mix yourself. The sea urchin was also tasty without any fishy taste. It made me want to drink sake! The sea bream rice bowl takes a little time, so I ordered a side dish in the meantime. I had the grilled eggplant with miso paste and the tempura of fresh lotus root. The seasonal dishes were all delicious! Finally, the sea bream rice bowl arrived. It was so delicious! I couldn't finish it all, but they kindly wrapped up the leftovers for me. The atmosphere was relaxing, and I really enjoyed my time there. I would love to visit again.

On Mother's Day, my family and I had a perfect experience at the restaurant. The phone reception, customer service, food explanation, and presentation were all excellent. The barley shochu lemon dish had great cost performance. Thanks to the energy and strength we received, our immunity got a boost. Thank you for a wonderful time! 🙇‍♂️

Today, I had a secret meeting at a restaurant. They had face shields at the entrance and alcohol disinfectant, which is common nowadays, but it was the first time I saw a restaurant with face shields as a default. They are really thorough. It seems like it's difficult to make same-day reservations, but it was okay for us, maybe because of the new virus situation. The fish was delicious and beautiful. It's a hidden gem and a great place for entertaining guests. I received tai miso as a souvenir. ♥️

A hidden secret restaurant that I always end up ordering sea bream rice at the end. The uneaten sea bream rice is wrapped up for takeout. I'm not knowledgeable about fish, but there are several types to choose from. I feel like I could become knowledgeable about fish. I always have to order the sashimi platter. Be careful not to overeat. I've been about 10 times and I feel like going back to eat again.

I made a reservation because I wanted to eat sea bream rice. The seafood was really delicious. I usually only eat sashimi when it comes to fish, so I only had sashimi and sea bream rice, but I feel like whoever I bring with me is always satisfied. The service is also polite. I will definitely come back again!

Today's drinking spot is here! It's a delicious restaurant with fish dishes and sea bream rice. The first thing that came out was the appetizer, which was beyond the usual appetizer. A grill and squid were brought out, and the staff said, "This is fresh squid that can even be eaten raw. Please lightly sear it." As instructed, we lightly seared it and it was soft, sweet, and delicious. We also had sashimi of cutlassfish and sea bream rice, which were both excellent. The sea bream rice was especially amazing! The sashimi was beautifully arranged on ice and tasted delicious. Thank you for the feast!

I went for a customer entertainment. It's a hidden gem in the back alley, a place that only locals would know about, but once you go, you'll want to go back again. The fish was all fresh and delicious. I think anyone would be pleased if you took them there to entertain them.

Using good ingredients to create dishes that bring out the best of the ingredients is very delicious. The restaurant is known for its sea bream rice, and the charcoal-grilled shirako (milt) is popular. Personally, I enjoyed the assorted sashimi with sea urchin and shrimp. The sashimi, like tuna, was cut unusually thick. The sea bream rice had glossy rice and a delicious taste, although the sea bream flavor was slightly mild compared to my expectations. The restaurant is lively, with a mature clientele, but the staff's voices are too loud. The compact, hidden gem atmosphere clashes with the noisy, bustling vibe, making the overall experience feel slightly overpriced. Additionally, there weren't many options for sake, and the restaurant didn't seem to have a strong focus on Japanese sake. I would recommend this restaurant for those who enjoy sashimi and other dishes, but it might be worth considering the company and occasion before visiting.

The food is delicious but the prices are a bit high. The tai-zosui is delicious! I want to try the tai-meshi next. They apparently give tai-miso as a souvenir to women. I'm looking forward to enjoying it at home...

I went to eat yellowtail shabu-shabu with my friends at Ginza-san. The slices were ridiculously large, like a joke, but it was fun and got me excited. In the past, I thought ice pillars in sashimi were excessive, but this time my enthusiasm was high. It was a meal where the most important thing was to have fun. 😊

The Tetchiri hot pot was incredibly delicious! It was so tasty that I forgot to take a photo. The porridge at the end was the best, with all the flavors concentrated. The staff at the restaurant were all very kind, and I definitely want to go back again.

Delicious!! Just incredibly delicious! The grilled conger eel served as an appetizer? It's so good that it's driving me crazy. LOL (I forgot to take a picture, LOL)
