I was taken to this restaurant by a senior colleague for a company drinking party. I was a bit worried because I saw a lot of negative reviews on Tabelog before going, but I decided to trust my senior and go for it! Oh, by the way, it seems like my senior booked a course with all-you-can-drink, but I'm not sure which course it was, so I can't provide details, just relying on my memory... Menu had a lot of courses, so I couldn't figure it out. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of a building right by Exit 5 of Crysta Nagahori-Minami, very close to the station which is good! The entrance door seemed a bit broken as it wouldn't close properly, but once inside, there were counter seats right at the entrance and the seating area expanded to the left and right (the entrance was quite narrow). We were seated at a sunken kotatsu table, even though there were only two of us, it was a 4-person table, so we had plenty of space to relax, which was nice. After a while, a staff member came to take our drink orders and then three dishes arrived quickly, but when the staff member was explaining the dishes, they forgot once and had to come back to confirm, so it was a bit chaotic. It was a Thursday night, so I didn't think it was that crowded, but with this chaos, it might get as busy as the reviews say during peak times... maybe? (Reviews mentioned slow service due to being busy, etc.) Dishes we had (some dishes not pictured): - Seafood Salad: Salmon, tuna, and flying fish roe with a crunchy texture, very enjoyable and memorable unlike most course salads. - Assorted Sashimi: We chose salt-grilled Tai (sea bream) which was a bit fishy in taste. - Fried Oysters: Probably my first time having oysters! They were surprisingly easy to eat and I couldn't stop munching on them. - Long skewer with salmon: The staff warned us to remove it from the skewer before eating. The sauce was delicious. - Duck: I love duck! It was thickly sliced and delicious. - Salt-grilled fish: The dish we asked for during the sashimi arrived, a bit hard to eat but tasty. - Rice to finish: Mix it with soy sauce yourself! I was quite full from the food and drinks, but still managed to enjoy it all. In conclusion, the food was just like any regular izakaya and nothing stood out as exceptional, so I don't think I'll revisit. Oh, the restroom was spacious and clean!

The course was the Senzen course, with all-you-can-drink option for drinks ranging from standard to premium. The standard beer was Kinmugi. - Today's small dish: Wasabi seasoned dish, refreshing and delicious. - Seafood and flying fish roe salad: Plenty of flying fish roe in the salad. - Assorted sashimi: Includes four types of sashimi, with an option for grilled fish head at an additional cost. - Wagyu steak: Cooked rare, might divide opinions. - Specialty seafood skewer: One skewer of salmon, delicious sauce. - Skin-on fried potatoes: Crunchy and tasty with mayonnaise and lemon. - Daily fried dish: Oyster fry, seasonal item. - Today's special dish: Not sure what it was, probably missed it. - Closing dish: Tororo rice. Enjoyed the course menu. Mostly drank potato shochu with water, which paired well with the food. Thank you for the meal.

Exit from Exit 5-A of Nagahoribashi Station on the Osaka Metro Sakaisuji Line, walk west on the road one block south of Nagahori Street for 100 meters. It is on the second floor to the left, marked by a white lantern that says "Osaka Cuisine". Inside the restaurant, there are bar-like counter seats, wooden tatami seats, and the non-smoking area with red walls and sofas. Despite the effort of the staff, the service was slow, and the dishes took a while to arrive even though it wasn't crowded. The name of the restaurant, "Relaxation", seemed ironic. We ordered sashimi, salmon, and blowfish sashimi. The prices are high, but the quality and taste of the food were average and not exceptional. There were mostly easy dishes like fried food and hot pot, with few elaborate simmered dishes or grilled items. The alcohol, such as the sweet potato shochu Sato (black), was a bit pricey at 880 yen per glass. We were surprised that even warm tea was charged separately. This restaurant may be more suited for those who can afford the expenses. Despite the end of the pandemic and the season for year-end drinking parties, all the usual restaurants were full, while this one was empty when we made a reservation online. There must be a reason why it was not crowded. Calling this place Osaka cuisine seems a bit of a stretch.

I visited because I wanted to eat the hotpot for gout. I arrived on time for my reservation, but was told to wait because the previous group was still there. I waited on the stairs in front of the door, where I saw empty alcohol bottles and a pot of vegetables covered with plastic wrap. I started to worry if this was meant for us to eat. The drinks took a long time to come, and the food, although delicious, was disappointing.

I visited the restaurant on the weekend. It was not crowded even on Friday night, so I decided to go in for some fish dishes. The restaurant is located on the second floor. I ordered dishes such as rolled omelette, sashimi, and grilled skewers. Although I didn't order a lot of food, the bill was a bit high. It was unusual to only get three pieces of sashimi each. Despite being the only customers, the food took a while to arrive, which was a bit disappointing. However, I found the grilled skewers to be delicious. They had a wide variety of sake and dishes that went well with alcohol, making it a good choice for those who enjoy drinking.

For a forget-the-year party, my friends booked a restaurant that offered a 120-minute all-you-can-drink course for 4 people at 5,800 yen. The reservation was from 5:30 pm, but the table we were given was in a corner that seemed like a makeshift storage area with flimsy partitions. The service was slow, with drinks and food taking a long time to arrive. When we tried to order our last drinks, a staff member told us it was almost time to pay, even though our drinks hadn't arrived yet. Frustrated, we decided to leave the restaurant and vowed never to return. It was a terrible experience and we won't be going back.

The day seemed unexpectedly busy for the restaurant as all seats were full, but drinks took over 10 minutes to arrive after ordering. The 8 dishes we ordered took two hours to finally come out. There was no apology for the wait, just a simple "thank you" when we asked for the bill, with a look of annoyance. Additionally, the restroom was covered in black mold, making it the first time encountering such a dirty dining establishment.

It was a pleasant surprise. I stumbled upon this hidden gem of a restaurant while searching for a cozy spot. The atmosphere inside was calm and sophisticated, with many white-collar workers using it for gatherings. The food was incredibly delicious, especially the seafood dishes which were outstanding. I also enjoyed some good cold sake and left feeling content. The variety of drinks available is overwhelming, so anyone looking to enjoy sake will definitely be satisfied! Truly a place known only to a few. I always recommend this place when asked for a good restaurant. I will definitely be returning! Thank you so much! :)

I was taken there by a companion. The squid sashimi was a little fishy... I don't think I'll be going back.

We used a semi-private room with 6 people. It was someone's birthday, and the staff kindly helped us with various things. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the staff for their assistance. However, unfortunately, the air conditioning was very poor, and it was hot and humid throughout. The price was also slightly high, so we would rate it as 3.5.

I went to a place with a reputation for cheap sake, but the sake was actually expensive, which was disappointing. The cost performance was not good at all. The highball was weak, with little carbonation, so it didn't feel like a proper highball. Also, something to be aware of is that there is an additional charge of 200 yen per person for seating, and a 5% service charge on the total food and drink bill, making it quite expensive overall.

We went to eat gout hot pot because we wanted to. The atmosphere was terrible, the service was terrible, and the food was not worth the price. It felt like some guy put no effort into making this crappy restaurant, or some crappy adult made their crappy junior run a crappy restaurant.

Taste... so-so. I ordered a sashimi platter with 5 varieties, anglerfish tempura, tsubugai (whelk) with spicy sauce. The cost performance is a bit on the high side. They have a good selection of sake, including some nice Japanese sake. It feels like a truly typical izakaya.

I used this restaurant during Golden Week. I made a reservation online about a month ago and visited the restaurant. The place was very crowded, probably due to Golden Week. We were seated at a table for four people with five people squeezed in. There were no individual plates or chopsticks provided. The most shocking thing was that our table was right next to the restroom, with only a curtain separating it. Every time someone used the restroom, they had to walk right past our table. I will never use this restaurant again. The food was expensive for the portion size. The raw cuttlefish was delicious.

Great atmosphere. Delicious food.

The food was completely different from the photo and quite expensive, but the taste was not great either. I was disappointed as I had high expectations.

I used it for a year-end party, but the seating space is quite narrow. I got tired because the seat per person was small.

The taste is good but the store is small. It's not as relaxing as the name suggests, but the food that comes out is delicious. There are simple dishes as well as some unique ones. There is also a wide selection of alcohol, including the rare Junmai Daiginjo sake.

I ordered sashimi, salmon, and blowfish sashimi, and thought the quality of the ingredients and seasoning was quite good. They also offered a nice selection of alcohol. However, in my opinion, the prices were a bit high. For example, a glass of Satoh (black) sweet potato shochu was 880 yen. In my experience, I usually expect the price to be around 700 yen at most. Of course, those with a flexible budget or those expensing their meal may find it satisfactory.
