[October 11, 2013: Revisit] I attended a small event at lunchtime, which ended quite early, so I decided to stop by when the restaurant opened. It was so hot that day, almost like summer (with a high temperature of nearly 32°C), but it started to cool down as the sun set. I felt like having some Japanese food today, so I visited "Snufkin," a place I hadn't been to in a while. As the temperature dropped to 25°C, it was the perfect time to enjoy some room temperature sake. The warm oden and sake I had together made me feel cozy and helped me forget about time passing by. The atmosphere was so homey and comfortable, just like drinking at a friend's house. I ended up staying longer than planned. I tried three different types of sake: Hagi no Tsuru Tokubetsu Junmai, Kamo Kaneshige Junmai-shu, and Komen Junmai-shu. The oden was delicious, and the broth was tasty. The sake went down smoothly. I ended up drinking three cups again today. [June 20, 2013: Revisit] I went to Umeda for a meal with an old friend, and after finishing early due to their work commitments, we decided to have a drink before heading home. We ended up at "Snufkin" because it started raining. The meal we had wasn't very filling, so I started feeling a bit hungry. I planned to have some light snacks and leave, but I ended up having a drink first. I tried "Hakurakusei Junmai Daiginjo Nama-sake Usumigori" with a side of "Shirauo no Shio-ko." The side dish was delicious. Then, I had "Oki Homare Junmai-shu Rousoku Island Label" with "Wata-iri Ika no Aburi." The bitterness and saltiness of the dish paired well with the sake. I kept drinking more and more. I forgot about my initial plan to have a light snack and ended up drinking again. The tempting side dishes and snacks on the blackboard menu distracted me. I couldn't resist. I ended up having "Mentaiko Pasta" and "Urakasumi Junmai-shu" with ice. I ate a lot and drank a lot again today. It's almost 11:00 PM, and I have work tomorrow. Will I be able to get home as it's raining due to the typhoon? [June 8, 2013] I was on a business trip to Osaka again this week. I decided to go to Namba and searched on Tabelog for "Namba Shinsaibashi Japanese Sake." I found a restaurant I had never seen before. It was called "Nihonshu to Oden Sakaba Snufkin." It was Saturday evening, and after finishing work, I headed there. Snufkin was located near Dotonbori's main street, close to Hikkake Bridge and behind Midosuji Avenue in Nippo Fine Plaza 2F. It was a bit hard to find because the sign was not very visible on the building map. After searching around the building, I finally found it and entered. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the automatic door with reggae music playing in the background. The owner, a blonde with black-rimmed glasses, and a cute blonde waitress welcomed me. The impact was too much, and the gap between the atmosphere of a Japanese sake-focused restaurant and the lively setting was intriguing. I sat at the counter, where the staff was very polite, and the atmosphere was enjoyable despite the initial shock. The L-shaped counter was designed to be comfortable, with eight chairs lined up. The counter had the restaurant's mascot, Snufkin, and a Shocker mask. The staff asked for my drink order, so I decided to try some Japanese sake. The menu featured 10 types of chilled sake, nine types of room temperature sake, and two types of cloudy sake. The variety on the blackboard menu indicated that they rotated different brands for customers to enjoy.

Osaka Shinsaibashi Sunafukin Tabelog 3.23 Price 3000-4000 "The most fun and delicious sake izakaya in Osaka, or perhaps all of Japan." Located in the middle of Namba Station and Shinsaibashi, just off Dotonbori towards Soemoncho, this restaurant is situated on the 2nd floor of a building.

When Marié took me to her favorite restaurant, they served delicious Korean-style oden, which is their specialty. The building is filled with small eateries and I love it. #Sakaba Snufkin #Cucumber Salad #Korean-style oden #Whole Onion #Potato Salad #Shirako Pasta #365 Days Eating Out Woman #Aparaka Notebook #Maetel

Sakan Snufkin in Nihonbashi. I visited with a junior colleague who returned to the office last year. - The seafood yukhoe is fresh and delicious! - Oden with grated yam and kelp is tasty with a strong dashi flavor! - Tempura of pickled ginger This is a classic in Kansai! I didn't eat it much while in Osaka. Delicious! - Pork kimchi The taste is always reliable! Pork kimchi is justice. - Lotus root sandwiched and fried Crispy and delicious! - Spring rolls Also crispy, hot, and delicious! - Spicy keema curry Spicy and mild, and delicious! Ah, I'm full. I'm completely satisfied with the Osaka atmosphere.

The atmosphere inside the building gives a cozy hideaway feeling♫ There are many unique creative oden dishes that show a lot of attention to detail, sure to delight girls (^.^) While the regular oden looks delicious, it's exciting to try creative oden dishes that you wouldn't normally eat♡ And the finale of risotto is a must-try (the cheese-in version is irresistible♡) They also offer a wide selection of sake, making it a place where you can enjoy from various perspectives♫

Namba's oden shop was lively with young people and regulars. They offer a variety of Kyoto-style oden and unique assortments, along with an incredible selection of sake. You can drink for around 500 yen for a 0.5 glass, and they have interesting dishes like mountain pepper curry and finish with cheese risotto. We had a good time drinking and eating for around 8,000 yen for two people, which is quite affordable. The oden was also delicious.

I had been curious about Snufkin for a while, so I went to eat oden because it's cold lately. There were many unusual types of oden, but I decided to go with the regular oden. The daikon was surprisingly big! Just that alone filled me up (lol). It was soft and very delicious. The staff was friendly and talked to me. They also had a wide variety of sake! I had planned to eat a lot, but oden really fills you up (lol). Next time, I want to try the unusual types of oden.

It's an interesting restaurant with a variety of unique oden dishes, such as sake lees with grated yam oden, tofu and sake lees oden, Korean stew oden, Italian cheese oden, Kyoto-style green onion oden, curry oden, and more. I tried the recommended Potatoes Salad for 400 yen and also ordered some cod roe and dumplings as suggested. The blackboard in the restaurant listed a wide selection of recommended sake, from Junmai to Junmai Ginjo, and even Yamahai. I tried several different types and enjoyed the experience of trying new ones. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. The cod roe and curry oden dishes were delicious. Overall, a great dining experience.

The image of sake and oden was surprisingly delicious with pasta, so we started with the usual beer and then moved on to sake before ending with pasta. We celebrated our 6th anniversary, so the atmosphere of the restaurant was festive and the owner was friendly and fun. We enjoyed delicious sake and snacks like simmered mackerel and fried chicken with Vietnamese-style oden. The pasta made by the owner's wife was the perfect ending to the meal. It was so delicious, what a great night it turned out to be!

I reserved a hotel in Osaka and decided to take it easy with some drinks. I love oden, so I looked it up on Tabelog and found this restaurant. It's located on the second floor of a drinking establishment building. When I arrived at 6:30 PM, there were no other customers, but by 7 PM, more and more people started coming in. First, I ordered the assorted oden. There were various types available, but I chose the standard one. They apparently use different types of Japanese sake daily. It was incredibly delicious! The broth was also amazing! I ended up ordering more items individually. I also had bacon and lotus root salad, mountain jellyfish, lotus root sandwich tempura, and daikon radish tempura from oden. The idea of daikon radish tempura was amazing. It is eaten with yuzu salt. They have an excellent selection of Japanese sake as well! There were still many dishes I wanted to try on the menu, but I wanted to visit other restaurants too, so I stopped here. Everything was delicious, so if this restaurant were nearby, I would definitely become a regular!

I went to eat at the restaurant on Saturday at 6 pm with a reservation. We were the first to arrive, but they don't allow groups of 5 without a reservation, as it's a popular place. The restaurant quickly filled up with reservations for groups of 4, etc. We had dishes like squid with green onions in ponzu sauce, duck and green onion pasta, mackerel, and oden. We also drank a lot of the recommended Japanese sake by the master. I went with customers from Hyogo prefecture, and they were delighted with the dishes, sake, and atmosphere. It's a fun restaurant that I would like to visit again in the future. Reservations are recommended.

I went to an oden restaurant called "Sakaba Snufkin" in Minami, Osaka. It's a hidden popular spot near Dotonbori Don Quijote. - Atmosphere: Counter and small table seating - Food: Mainly oden and obanzai (home-style dishes) - Price range: Affordable and easy to spend quickly - Note: Be careful as the amount of alcohol for the price is relatively high Hello, I'm Miyarn, a Russian living in Kansai. The oden here has a gentle and flavorful broth made using sake. Similar to the famous dish "bisho-nabe" from the sake town of Saijo, Hiroshima, you can enjoy the richness and aroma of sake. It's a luxurious dish unique to a shop with a wide variety of sake. I had the following dishes for a total of 2500 yen: - Draft beer: 500 yen - Highball: 500 yen for 6 glasses - Kyoto-style leek oden: 500 yen - Gyoza: 500 yen - Tempura of fresh squid: 500 yen All the menu items were around 500 yen, making it a reasonable choice. It's a convenient place for bar hopping as well. Goodbye!

Visited with a friend on a last-minute reservation. Located on the second floor of a mixed-use building in the back of Mitte. The interior of the restaurant mainly consists of a counter with two tables. They seem to specialize in oden and Japanese sake, but they offer a wide variety of dishes including vegetables, meat, fish, fried foods, and appetizers, making it hard to choose. We ordered the tofu and sakekasu oden, duck and grated yam, roast chicken, grilled green onion with ponzu sauce, grilled ginkgo nuts, potato salad, and cheese with pickled daikon. The tofu oden was served as a platter and the sweet broth paired well with the grated yam. It seemed like a dish that women would enjoy. The tofu broth was so delicious that I couldn't help but drink it all. The meat was tender and flavorful, making it a great match for sake. Each dish was reasonably priced. They also have unique menu items like chige oden and curry oden that caught our attention. The owner was friendly, and the place was filled with regulars. Even though we were new customers, he engaged in conversation with us, making us want to come back again. The location is convenient, and they stay open late, making it a great choice. We will definitely visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I wrote a review trying to soften harsh expressions, but it seems that it is necessary to clearly describe the taste, so I have edited the text significantly and will repost the review. First of all, regarding the taste, unfortunately, it did not suit my palate. Of course, taste preferences vary from person to person, so the following text is simply my personal impression. I had oden, but I felt that the "dashi," which is the lifeline of oden, lacked depth of flavor. I personally prefer light flavor over strong flavor, but I realized that "light flavor" and "lack of flavor" are completely different things. As for the chikuwa, one of the oden ingredients, its texture and flavor were quite different from the chikuwa I am familiar with. Since the taste of the dish was significantly different from my preference, the evaluation naturally became harsh. Tabelog is a tool where individuals who are not food professionals can share their dining experiences at restaurants. Please take this as nothing more than my biased ramblings. Thank you for the meal.

Opened a specialty gyoza shop. Today, they also wanted to eat oden, so we decided to go to a nearby restaurant that we had been curious about. Despite it being a Sunday, the place was quite crowded, confirming its popularity. They had a wide selection of Japanese sake, so I made a random choice and ordered some sake. The dish we tried was Kyoto-style oden. They mentioned that the broth was based on Fukuoka's sake. My expectations and blood pressure rose. I took a sip of the broth and exclaimed, "Wow," then fell silent. Chiikuwa Tiger: "This chiikuwa..." Kuro: "I can't taste the chiikuwa." Tiger: "The texture is not like chiikuwa at all." And then we promptly left the restaurant. Yes, light and thin are not the same thing. Light flavor and thin are not the same. That's what the oden taught us. We discussed this later at a bar. It was at Barin. We passionately talked about Sutani. Just kidding. But the real content is a secret.

This shop is a bit hard to find, but it's recommended for its An-kake Oden (Oden with broth) and Japanese sake! It was my first time trying An-kake Oden, and it was piping hot until the end, making me crave it on a cold day! The Oden was light, and the croquette and young corn I ordered had a rich sauce and seasoning, balancing well and making the sake go down smoothly. The Young Corn Pork Shiso Cheese Roll was delicious as expected from its name! The owner's wife is a sake sommelier, so it's easy to consult about sake, and it's nice to find a sake that suits you for the day! There were many regular customers, and it was a cozy and friendly atmosphere at the shop! Thank you for the meal!

A hidden gem in Soemoncho. I was surprised to find such a great restaurant in this area. You can enjoy selected Japanese sake and small dishes chosen by a sake sommelier in a cozy atmosphere. The sake lees hot pot is recommended. Since it's a small place, reservations are a must.

Located on the second floor of a mixed-use building in Minami, this hidden gem of a shop is easy to miss if you don't know about it. I visited around 9 pm on a weekday, and the place was bustling with regular customers. The interior is adorned with autographs from celebrities, giving it a vibe of a well-kept secret spot. The main dish here is oden, with a variety of flavors to choose from, along with other izakaya menu items. I opted for the curry flavor on this day, and it was a generous serving of daikon and thick fried tofu soaked in a flavorful broth, all for just 660 yen - a great deal! The owner is a fun person, and it was a delightful experience enjoying delicious oden and drinks at this great little shop. I'll definitely be back. Thank you for the meal.

I went there for the first time in a while ^ ^ It seems to be crowded with familiar customers. The salmon and mentaiko soy milk oden was delicious♪ It was also very filling. You can eat and drink at a reasonable price.

The famous oden dish was delicious, and the friendly service made us feel right at home. Despite it being our first time there, we felt comfortable and enjoyed chatting with regular customers and staff. We started at a table with my friend, but ended up at the counter, enjoying drinks together. The oden was flavorful and healthy, perfect for women. They also had a selection of unique sake brands to choose from. The charm of Snufkin lies in its cozy atmosphere. Located in a corner of Minami's bustling district, it may be a bit tricky to find, so it's best to head there earlier than your meeting time for peace of mind.

It was a shop centered around mochi and oden. It seems to be a shop mainly for regular customers. The owner is in charge, and I heard that the wife is a sommelier for alcohol. I would be happy if there were a few more snacks to go with the drinks.

I went to the famous Snufkin in Namba. This restaurant is known for its delicious Japanese sake. The variety of Japanese sake they offer is impressive. Not only that, the food here is also delicious. Dishes like oden made with sake and sashimi sourced from Kuromon Market were incredibly tasty. Even on weekdays, you can see that the place is crowded. Whether it's the Osaka vibe or not, it's a place where you can have a good time even if you go alone.
