It's really delicious. The miso soup and white rice were already delicious, which was surprising. The main dish, mackerel rare cutlet, had a thin and crispy coating, and the flavor of the mackerel was concentrated. It came with a topping of various ingredients like grated radish and a sauce that was refreshing and easy to eat, enhancing the deliciousness of the mackerel cutlet. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was cozy, and the restaurant was clean. I definitely want to try their dinner menu as well. ✨

This is a Japanese restaurant located along Abeno-suji, a little south of Abenobashi Station on the Osaka Metro Tanimachi Line, Hankai Tramway Uemachi Line, and Abenobashi Line. I visited for lunch. The owner, who gained experience at Minoyoshi, opened this restaurant on June 2, 2023, after operating at "Buffalo29" near Kintetsu Osaka Abenobashi Station. The chic and modern interior has two tables in the front and a counter facing the kitchen with about 10 seats in the back. I arrived at 11:30 am, and within 15 minutes, the restaurant was almost full. It seems to have become a popular spot already. The lunch menu includes dishes like "Roast Beef Bowl Set" (900 yen), "Rare Mackerel Cutlet Set," "Seafood Bowl Set" (both 1,200 yen), "Grilled Fish Set," "Tonkatsu Set" (both 1,000 yen), "Pork Ginger Set" (950 yen), "Sashimi Set," "Naniwa Wagyu Beef Cutlet Set" (both 1,500 yen), and more. I ordered the "Rare Mackerel Cutlet Set." After a short wait, the set arrived. It included a plate of rare mackerel cutlet, a salad, simmered dish, and a dipping sauce for the cutlet. The miso soup came later. The mackerel cutlet was perfectly rare, with a light and crispy batter and a juicy and flavorful fish inside. The dipping sauce was excellent, adding a refreshing touch to the dish. The simmered dish was cooked to perfection, and the rice was deliciously fluffy and sweet. However, the miso soup was too salty. Overall, the seating was more comfortable than when they were operating as a pop-up, and the kitchen seemed spacious and well-equipped. I'll have to visit for dinner sometime.

The meat and fish are delicious! This place used to be a ramen shop that I loved and it had a nostalgic atmosphere. The open counter has a great smell coming from it. They have a variety of lunch options and they often sell out. That's how popular they are locally. The roast beef bowl is thick and tasty. The extra meat option is really worth it. The mackerel rare cutlet is fluffy and goes really well with the plum sauce. The grilled fish set meal that the person next to me was eating looked amazing too. I'll have to try that next time. It's also popular at night. Come on over!

On our day off after visiting the super sento, my wife and I had lunch at this restaurant for the first time. My wife had been here before and ordered the mackerel rare cutlet set meal and the seafood bowl set meal, along with a Sapporo Lager beer. The mackerel cutlet was light and tasty, and we enjoyed it with the side dishes of rolled omelet and salad. The miso soup had a strong dashi flavor, so we had seconds (complimentary). We will definitely visit again!

A new Japanese restaurant opened at the former site of Men to Kokoro 7. I always noticed it when passing by, but it was always full. Today, I stopped by right after it opened and it was empty! I had the grilled fish set meal. I could choose from 3 types, so I chose Kinmedai (golden eye snapper) which is small, so they gave me 3 extra slices of sea bream sashimi ❤ My second daughter and son had the roast beef bowl with extra meat, which they always said they wanted to eat whenever we passed by. First, the miso soup. It had a soft and flavorful taste with a strong dashi flavor! And then, the steaming hot rice... delicious ( °‪꒳​° ).ᐟ‪‪‪.ᐟ‪‪‪ The Kinmedai was small but plump, sweet, and I wanted to nibble on the bones! The salad was just a salad. The simmered hijiki seaweed was also delicious with a strong dashi flavor. The roast beef bowl had thicker slices than expected, and it was really delicious, but chewing was tough... both of them said. I also tried it, and although the chewiness and the flavor of the meat were good, it was a bit tough to chew. They were like, "From today, we'll eat roasted beans!" But what really impressed me was the rice and miso soup. I could have seconds, but at first, I was hesitant... I thought, "What should I order next time?" as we left chatting about wanting to come back in the evening. We definitely need to get seconds next time ( 'ᢦ' )

"Located a 3-minute walk from Abeno Station on the Tanimachi Line of Osaka Metro, the junk-story style ramen shop 'Men to Kokoro 7' has closed down. After a while, it underwent renovations, and I was curious about what kind of shop it would become. It turned out to be a Japanese cuisine restaurant that serves lunch from 11:30 am. When I visited about 20 minutes after opening, I was seated at the counter. I ordered the roast beef bowl for 900 yen, which arrived in about 15 minutes. The roast beef was thickly sliced and seemed to be over 100g in quantity. The miso soup had a unique flavor with seaweed and green onions. The salad included watercress, cucumber, red onions, and was served with a bottle of sauce for dressing. The garlic soy sauce dressing added a nice touch to the dish. The roast beef was lean and had a good chew to it, so thinner slices might have been easier to eat."

A new restaurant has opened at the former location of Abeno no Men to Kokoro 7 ramen shop. The chef trained at Mino Yoshi and specializes in both fish and meat dishes. Unfortunately, the Naniwa Black Beef was sold out when I arrived late. The atmosphere is nice and the chef is friendly. I found a great restaurant. #Bento #Food #SakanaKa #AbenoJapaneseFood #AbenoLunch

The sashimi was incredibly fresh. The egg over rice in the hot pot was fluffy and delicious. The chawanmushi was also great with a hint of yuzu. This place is definitely becoming my go-to for a rewarding meal.

I had a roast beef bowl. The roast beef was carefully arranged like flower petals, with each slice placed neatly. The roast beef had a good chewy texture, with a sweet sauce that added a moist flavor. Under the roast beef, there was a bed of cabbage that was delicious.

The serving size is large for one person, so my wife and I shared and tried various dishes. It was incredibly delicious.
