We visited the Kitano Kazoku Namba Sennichimae store. It's a familiar place that we often use. This time, we had the usual course. The restaurant is spacious with sunken kotatsu seating. It's convenient for large parties and banquets.

I went out for dinner with my colleagues. We had a relaxing time at a table almost like a private room. The food was delicious, and the spacious interior made it feel comfortable. The corn tempura and mozuku seaweed tempura were particularly tasty. I forgot to take a photo of the drinks, but we also enjoyed the negitoro roll and salad.

I visited the North Family Namba Sennichimae store, where I used to come often before the pandemic. It has been about 2 years since my last visit due to the pandemic. We enjoyed a course menu with everyone. Finally, we were able to dine out without wearing masks.

I used it for lunchtime. Lately, the Namba area has been crowded all the time, making it difficult, almost like being a brunch refugee. In the midst of this, I decided instantly after seeing the arcade sign. You have to go up in the building's elevator, so if there wasn't a sign, I would have completely missed it. The interior of the restaurant is spacious as expected! Originally a large izakaya, you can enjoy your lunch in a spacious space without worrying about the customers next to you. It's not noisy, and the prices are not high, so this is really helpful. The fact that dashimaki is included as a side dish for the main lunch is also a big plus.

I stopped by after an event. There was an event nearby, and I had been interested in this restaurant for a while. The atmosphere inside was just as I had hoped - I liked the feel of it. It's a nice place to relax! I was happy to be able to eat my favorite crab here! The sashimi was also delicious. If you register on Instagram, you can also get a drink service, so it's a good deal! I would like to visit this restaurant again if I'm in the area. It seems like a good place for a party or year-end gathering with friends!

The place is located on the 5th floor of a building near Sen-nichimae, close to NGK and Bic Camera. I went there for about an hour for a light meal and day drinking. The 60-minute all-you-can-drink deal is reasonable. The main focus seems to be Hokkaido cuisine, but it's not just seafood - they have dishes like Zangi (fried chicken), Genghis Khan, and skewers. I went at a kind of awkward time, so it wasn't crowded. The skewers are recommended for their volume, price, and taste. The ochazuke I ordered at the end was quite filling. Dining alone can feel a bit pricey, so I recommend sharing dishes with 3-4 people.

After watching a movie alone, I was looking for a place to eat hot pot, and I came across this restaurant with a sign advertising hot pot and all-you-can-drink for 770 yen. I decided to give it a try. I ordered the all-you-can-drink option with draft beer, chicken chanko hot pot, and grilled lamb with black pepper. The lamb was larger than expected, with a slightly tough texture but good flavor. The hot pot was a good size for one person, and the soup had a rich taste. I added a glass of sweet potato shochu and two tomato sours within the 60-minute time limit, bringing the total to just over 2,000 yen.

It had been a while since I last visited Osaka. On a holiday, I decided to have a light drink with my local friends from noon. Although I initially thought it was a shame to visit a chain restaurant while in Osaka, I thought it would be fine since it had been a long time since I last saw my friends from the north. Even though it was a holiday afternoon, there weren't many customers. It couldn't be helped. We opted for a pretty good all-you-can-drink deal (I think it was around a thousand yen) and ordered a cold draft beer. It was ice-cold and refreshing. I only remember ordering zangi from the menu, so I left the rest to my friends. We enjoyed zangi, giant hokke fish, corn tempura, and grilled squid skewers. Despite being quite hungry, the food was delicious and I even had seconds of the corn tempura. We were able to relax and enjoy our time as there weren't many customers, which I felt sorry for the restaurant about. The staff's service was impeccable. I hope that days where such a large restaurant is crowded with customers and the staff are slow to come will come sooner. It might be nice for my family from the north in Tokyo to visit after a long time.

All-you-can-drink for one hour at 770 yen. The hokke, crab, and lettuce fried rice was too salty.

The all-you-can-drink for one hour is a good deal at 700 yen, but the food is expensive. The appetizer is 390 yen and the crab miso grilled in its shell is 690 yen, but the portion is small. I was surprised.

We used it for a year-end party at work. It's a chain, but the fish was unexpectedly delicious!

The dishes were served quickly and all of them were delicious.

The grilled Atka mackerel was large with plenty of flesh, and the fat was rich and satisfying.
