Iejin Sake Bar! 150-minute all-you-can-drink private course for 4400 yen! What is the space like on the second floor for a private reservation? Self-service drink system? Hmm! I don't know! So I decided to visit! When I arrived, I was told to go up through the door on the left, and as I ascended, I found myself in a cozy house-like space. There was even a TV, which was amusing! This was a relaxing and comfortable setting, perfect for me personally. However, on this day, they were out of draft Orion beer, which was disappointing. But they had bottled beer as a substitute, which was good. Cheers with Orion beer! It was fantastic! This is Okinawa, after all, should we sing some BEGIN songs? Anyway! The course meal was a parade of Okinawan dishes, which was great. I personally enjoyed the Mozuku Kimchi, Purple Sweet Potato Croquette, and Rafute Roast Beef. It was a treat to try the elusive Iejima beef! Everything was delicious! Also, the Seifuku Yuzu Shikwasa liqueur from Seifuku Shuzo was tasty! It would be great if other restaurants also offered this, as it is easy to drink and delicious for both men and women! The 3 hours passed by in a flash, and it was a fun time. Thank you for the meal! Iejin Sake Bar! No doubt about it!!! Here are my taste impressions: - Mozuku Kimchi: Recently popular Mozuku Kimchi. I tried it for the first time, and it was amazingly delicious! Perfect as a side dish, and goes well with alcohol. - Mimigaa Ponzu: The texture of Mimigaa was good! It's completely different from the Mimigaa sold here! - Sea Grapes: When you think of Okinawa, you think of Sea Grapes! I had it with Shikwasa Ponzu, and the crunchy texture was great! - Spam and Egg Caesar Salad: This is a salad, but it can also be a side dish. The salty taste of Spam is nice! - Purple Sweet Potato Croquette: This is my go-to dish for Okinawan cuisine. The sweetness and aroma of purple sweet potatoes are great. - Rafute: A truly delicious dish! The fatty part is sweet, and the meat is tender and flavorful! The sweet seasoning is perfect! - Goya Champuru: A classic dish! Alcohol drinkers love it, right? Well, it depends on personal taste, but I like it! - Iejima Beef Roast Beef: It's almost like rare beef! It's cooked at a low temperature, so the fat melts and becomes sweet. The sauce is a sweet soy-based sauce that perfectly complements the beef! - Taco Rice: Did you know that Taco Rice originated in Okinawa? It's rice with ground meat and cheese. It's bound to be delicious! - Sata Andagi: It reminds me of Yanbaru Kuina and Yamada Shintaro. They flew away~. Just kidding. It's a super tasty snack! Even though I'm not from Okinawa, it reminds me of my time there!

I used a Okinawan restaurant for a joint drinking party with another company in Osaka in the past! The second floor was completely reserved as a private room, which got me excited. The staff only come when serving course meals, and the drinks are self-service with all-you-can-drink option, which was great. Thank you for the delicious meal!

There is an Okinawan restaurant in a back alley around Higashi-dori in Umeda! I didn't know about it! It's called Iranchu Sakaba, where you can enjoy sea grapes and Sanpin cocktail while looking at the menu. They offer fresh sea grapes and a variety of Awamori, from mainland to remote islands. They also have aged Awamori and rice shochu. I love Sanpin tea, so I had a Sanpin cocktail with Gurukun's fried fish and boneless curry. Gurukun is a type of fish that is crispy and delicious, you can eat it whole including the fins. The boneless curry is very tender and you can eat as much as you want. Some say curry from non-curry restaurants is tastier. It's not very spicy, so it goes well with Sanpin cocktail. I love Okinawan cuisine, so I definitely want to come back again. Thank you for the meal!

This restaurant is located in a narrow alley near Higashi Street in Umeda. It may be a bit difficult to find as you don't pass by it often. It's a rare Okinawan cuisine restaurant that is open until morning! I heard that Iejima is famous among Okinawa residents, and they often go there for school trips or outings. The dishes are authentic Okinawan cuisine! They have a variety of Okinawan alcoholic drinks, including awamori. I was impressed when they served it in a heart-shaped Ryukyu glass! I tried several dishes and they were all delicious! If you want to drink at an Okinawan cuisine restaurant until morning, be sure to check this place out!

I went to Iejin Sake Bar after a long time. It is located on a street filled with cozy shops a little north of Umeda Higashi Street, exuding a strong Okinawan atmosphere. It seems to be very popular lately, so I made a reservation for Sunday at 6:00 pm and was able to get a seat. Perhaps it was early or due to the impact of the second wave of COVID-19, but it was relatively empty that day. I started with the classic Orion beer and enjoyed a variety of awamori selections, feeling the Okinawan vibe. Of course, I had to try the "Masahiro" as well. I indulged in the specialty of seared Iejin beef, sea grapes, and the classic Goya Champuru from "The Okinawa". The delicious food paired perfectly with the drinks, and I left the popular restaurant fully satisfied, understanding why it is so popular. I look forward to going back and fully enjoying the Okinawan experience. Thank you for the meal.

After finishing work, I decided to stop by a small restaurant in Doyama for a drink. The restaurant had a Seaser logo and had a counter with 4 seats, two tables for 4 people, and one table for 2 people. I ordered an Orion beer, which was delicious. Then, I ordered some Okinawan dishes. All of the dishes were tasty, especially the Goya Champuru. I recommend trying it when you visit Okinawa. There were many other delicious dishes like Soki Soba, but I was already full. The restaurant is open until 7 am, which is very convenient. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal!

I use this Okinawan cuisine izakaya in Doyama quite frequently. I haven't been to the second floor, but it seems like they can accommodate fairly large groups. The main dishes are delicious, and the appetizers are also on point. Sometimes I want to order seconds. When I go late, I often order rice dishes like Okinawan soba or the curry from the hidden menu. The island pickles and the oil miso on the cucumber sashimi are also very tasty. They have a wide variety of awamori, which is rare for an Okinawan restaurant in Umeda. I can't really handle awamori, so I usually go for a refreshing Habu Ball after starting with an Orion beer. This restaurant is open until morning, which is very convenient for me. The staff are friendly and easy to talk to, so I end up staying longer than planned. Thank you for always being open late. I will definitely visit again!

A restaurant serving Okinawan cuisine with a wide selection of awamori. It's a paradise for awamori lovers. Started with ordering a draft beer - they offer Orion beer and Asahi Super Dry. The appetizer was a simmered dish, very gentle and welcoming. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos as usual, but we also ordered dishes like carrot salad, potato salad, and Rafute. The carrot salad was delicious! We finished with Okinawan soba. I only took a photo of the Okinawan soba. I will definitely come back to this place regularly.

Located in a back alley just off the Higashi-dori shopping street, this Okinawan restaurant is run by the owner who hails from Ie Island in western Okinawa. They serve traditional dishes from the island such as Ie beef. On this day, I used the Choinomi Techo voucher and enjoyed my choice of alcohol, sea grapes, and seared Ie beef for 1000 yen. I chose awamori as my drink, served in a beautiful Ryukyu glass. First, I tried the sea grapes, which were pleasantly chewy and delicious. Then, I savored the seared Ie beef. The meat was lean with a tender texture and rich flavor. It was a rare treat to enjoy Ie beef in Osaka. For the price of 1000 yen, I was completely satisfied with the quality and taste of the meal.

Today, I went to eat Okinawan cuisine with a friend. It's been a while since I had Okinawan food. The restaurant is located in a maze-like street, but the location is easy to find. We had made a reservation beforehand, and it seemed to be available. There are both counter and table seats, so we sat at a table. Of course, we ordered Orion beer for the Okinawan cuisine. My friend had a toast with Shikuwasa liquor. We ordered Mimigaa Ponzu, Island pickles, simmered pork cartilage, and Ie beef Tataki. Mimigaa Ponzu was a great appetizer. The beer went well with it. The Island pickles, served with meat miso, were also delicious. We ordered the simmered pork cartilage diagonally from the Rafté. The cartilage was tender and the seasoning was rich, making the beer go down smoothly. The texture of the cartilage was great. There were several ways to eat Ie beef, but we ordered Tataki. It was very tender and juicy. We felt like having a bit more, so we also ordered a dashi roll with mozuku. Honestly, the presence of mozuku was not very strong, but it was still delicious. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was cozy despite its small size. The exterior has a vintage feel. The staff seemed to be Okinawan, with two male servers. Thank you for the meal!

First visit to Gurupon♡ Okinawan cuisine after a long time♡ Cheers with beer! The appetizers were delicious from the start! Sea grapes, Rafute Goya Champuru, and more were all delicious‍♀️ The restaurant is not big, but it has a TV and is a relaxed and cozy place! I will definitely go again!♡

It was difficult to understand the geography around here. It's small and not too noisy, which was nice. I enjoyed the Okinawan cuisine! It wasn't amazingly delicious, but I was able to eat in peace.

If you want to experience Okinawa in Umeda, this is the place. Delicious and friendly.
