Fifteen years ago, I tried eating scorpion for the first time at a restaurant with my boss and colleagues. We also tried alligator, frog, and salamander, among other exotic dishes. I didn't have the courage to try insects like water bugs or crickets. I did try scorpion tempura, which was interesting but not something I would want to eat again. I didn't enjoy dishes like fried cartilage, which had a strong odor. The air conditioning was too cold, but I couldn't adjust it myself. The kind restaurant owner lent me her cardigan to keep warm. Thank you for your kindness!

I visited the izakaya "Taneyoshi" in Ura-Tennoji. The restaurant has a strong personality from its appearance. It is known for serving various rare delicacies. Originally, it was a standing bar with only a counter, but now they have chairs. The walls are covered with menus written on strips of paper, creating a unique atmosphere. The restaurant was almost full, but I managed to find a seat at the last minute. Here are some of the menu items: Imori dried fish (Tochigi) 420 yen, Bear meat skewers (Akita) 800 yen, Fugu ovaries (Ishikawa) 450 yen, Turtle hands (Mie) 450 yen, Eel sashimi (Shizuoka) 1,100 yen, Shark tempura (Kesennuma) 480 yen, Frog legs (Taiwan) 600 yen, Stingray liver sashimi 480 yen, Scorpion tempura, American crayfish, etc. I tried the Bluefin tuna toro sashimi for 580 yen, which was high-quality and delicious. I also had the American crayfish, which was surprisingly tasty with an ethnic seasoning. The shark tempura was mild in flavor and I had it with curry salt. Overall, it was an interesting dining experience with a unique menu. I was curious about dishes like turtle hands and scorpions, but I didn't have the courage to order them this time. I will try them next time. Thank you for the meal. #Gourmet #OsakaGourmet #TennojiGourmet #Tennoji #TennojiStation #OsakaIzakaya #Izakaya #TennojiIzakaya #StandingBar #StandingDrinking #OsakaStandingDrinking #Taneyoshi #UraTennoji #WantToConnectWithGourmetLovers

When planning to visit the thousand cherry blossoms of Yoshino Mountain in Nara, it's a good idea to stay in Osaka and enjoy some hardcore Osaka nightlife. Using the Kintetsu train, on the first day, stay near Tennoji and explore the backstreets. The first stop is at Taneyoshi, where even though other shops are still closed, this one is already bustling with 8-9 seats inside and standing tables outside. It's an Osaka restaurant, but they also have famous dishes from various regions, which are cheap and delicious, sparking curiosity. When a seat opened up, we sat down and ordered more. We wanted to stay longer, but we had plans to visit several other places that day, so we left after about three drinks each. If you're in Osaka, this place is a must-visit again.

Popular reviewer Sen-chan from Hiroshima visited Osaka for work on a weekday. This was their first meeting. Since I was the only one able to leave on time, we first went to a place I hadn't visited in about 9 years. We started with a toast with draft beer for 430 yen (tax included). Looking at the menu, I couldn't find anything I wanted to eat, so I was a bit puzzled. The staff noticed and brought me the "Chef's Recommendation of the Day" menu, so I ordered the boiled rape blossoms for 280 yen. Then, they brought out the highlight of the day - eel sashimi from Lake Hamana at market price. I was a bit hesitant about the market price, but I decided to go for it. When the eel sashimi arrived, it was not what I had imagined - frozen, thin, and fishy. It seemed like they had cut it with a plane used for bonito flakes. It was so unexpected that my excitement skyrocketed, but I felt really sorry for Sen-chan! In my mind, the game was over for this restaurant. However, the staff offered us another round of beer, but I declined. This place definitely doesn't lack in entertainment value. Thank you for the meal.

Before the coronavirus, it was a standing bar, but now there are chairs available. They serve turtle liver, hotaruika (firefly squid) marinated in seawater, dried baby sardines, and fresh plump live oysters - which are limited, so get them quickly! We were lucky to get the last oysters before 6 o'clock. As always, the food was delicious and affordable. It had been a while since my last visit. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

The second bar for drinking in Tennoji is this place. It's only a counter, but it's popular so getting in depends on timing. Anyway, there are so many menu options that I need time to choose (lol). It seems like they have everything. The specialty is the entertaining conversations with the owner. The food to go with alcohol is all cheap, so you can easily go in alone. I'll definitely go again. Thank you for the meal.

Uradera Tennoji is experiencing a new boom. At Tane Yoshisan, you can eat exotic dishes like scorpions, crocodiles, salamanders, crickets, and frogs. The restaurant is always crowded and filled with photos and autographs of celebrities. It's a popular spot, but I'm not a fan. It's recommended for those who are willing to try anything.

Tennoji [Tanoshi] Other posts are here ⏩ @yk_mg18 Cafe is here → @yk_mg22 Ramen is here → @zen.ramen98 Other izakayas are here → #OsakaGourmetDiary I personally recommend the izakaya below!!! Scorpion Karaage ¥1600? Was it around that price! Definitely exceeded ¥1000 ✨ Croquette ✨ Gratin Croquette ¥220 Swordfish Tataki Sashimi ¥200 Oh my goodness!! Finally, I went to a place I've always wanted to go to!! There are so many weird dishes, isn't the outside and inside of the restaurant crazy? Haha, how many menu items do they have? A follower mentioned a urban legend about Tanoshi, saying, "There are rumors that they keep crocodiles and scorpions underground." So I immediately said, "So the scorpion I ate was freshly caught, right?" But it's true, can they fit that amount of menu items in that space? It was cramped. So, maybe it's underground after all... I don't know, but it's still funny... If you haven't seen the scorpion reel, check it out! Haha I also found out that scorpions are a luxury item! Haha Are you serious about the fried oysters? Two oysters for ¥180? One oyster for ¥90, have you ever seen that before?! I want you to hear the sound of it, like a tasteless, hard version of shrimp shells! I want to try some other menu items, so everyone, please go and try it out! Take a video of the weird dishes and show me ❤️❤️❤️ Drinkers' drinking tagram Gourmet introduction mainly in Osaka To be honest, my impressions, values, and tastes are different for each person 🧍‍♀️ Check out other posts from here ❗️ ✔️⏬⏩ @yk_mg18 ⏪⏬❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

There are amazing menus hidden in everything you study, such as scorpion, crocodile, lizard, locust, squid, frog, and turtle sashimi. You can stand and drink inside the restaurant, but there are seats available as well. Have you ever seen such an aggressive standing bar? Please go and experience it for yourself, be surprised! The crispy fried oysters were delicious. The tataki also had a high cost-performance ratio.

Visit date and time: 18:15 on a weekday Waiting time: None Menu: A la carte For the third stop on our bar hopping in Tennoji, we visited Tane Yoshi, a restaurant that has been frequently featured on TV and caught our attention. The impressive display of small paper menus pasted on the wall is quite something. There are plenty of exotic delicacies on offer, and this time we tried the dried monitor lizard, grilled soft-shelled turtle, and raw stingray liver. Among the dishes we tried, the soft-shell crab and raw stingray liver were truly delicious. With reasonable prices, I definitely want to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

An izakaya in Tennoji with a lot of insect-based dishes. The menu is full of unique flavors. I tried them out of curiosity, but they didn't suit my taste. I thought of ordering regular tofu, but even that was extremely spicy. The drinks also had a distinct taste.

As of June 2022, the tallest building in Japan is "Abeno Harukas" located south of JR Tennoji Station. However, on the north side of JR Tennoji, there is a Showa-era shopping street called "Hankai Shotengai." Within this shopping street, you will find "Taneyoshi." When you arrive at Taneyoshi, you will be overwhelmed by the vast amount of menu strips covering the entire outer wall of the shop, making you want to take a photo. Looking through the menu, you will find not only popular and unusual delicacies from various regions of Japan such as "Funazushi" from Shiga, "Black Hanpen" from Shizuoka, and "Sasakamaboko" from Miyagi, but also items that will surely raise your excitement, such as "Deep-fried Scorpion," "American Crayfish," "Imori" from Tochigi, "Camel Hump" from Australia, and "Crocodile Paw" from Africa. The "American Crayfish" for 480 yen was not cooked but rather felt like it was soaked in alcohol, with a semi-raw texture that was delicious without any unpleasant smell. The "Imori" for 380 yen was thin and resembled a dried stick of Chinese herbal medicine rather than an actual salamander, as described on the menu as "boosting vitality," although I cannot confirm its effects (laughs). Unfortunately, the "Deep-fried Scorpion" was not available on the day of the visit, but when asked, it was priced at 1,200 yen. In addition to these unique items, you can also enjoy well-known dishes from various regions across the country, making it an interesting and lively place to dine. However, personally, I feel like it's a place I would prefer to visit with friends rather than alone.

JR Tennoji Station North Exit, I feel like my feet naturally gravitate towards this place, maybe it's the aura of "Taneyoshi"! When I peeked in through a gap, I saw that there was only one empty seat at the counter, so I slipped in. But oh no! I ended up sandwiched between two groups of young women, and before I knew it, a chair magically appeared for me. It made me realize once again that recently, young women have been infiltrating traditional izakayas. This influence seems to be reflected in the extensive menu in front of me, with many unique and visually appealing items beyond the usual offerings. It's almost as if there are more "unusual items" or "Instagrammable items" these days... or maybe it's just my imagination? (;^ω^) Back in the day, only "old men" used to frequent places like this, but on this particular day, I was the oldest person there, and the staff called me "dad," which was a bit of a shock for me (´;ω;｀). After regaining my composure, I ordered a Hoppy from the curious girl next to me who asked, "What's that? What is it?" When I answered politely, she seemed intrigued, so I went ahead and ordered it. For snacks, I followed the staff's recommendation and ordered Anago Tempura and Chicken Heart Stir-fry. The background music felt like it would be playing oldies, but the lively chatter around me made me retreat into my shell and watch YouTube alone while drinking (^◇^;) After finishing my first glass of Hoppy, I ordered another one. The Hida Beef Croquette was also recommended by the staff, so I added that to my order. After drinking for a few tens of minutes, the bill came out to be 1,150 yen... so cheap! (‘◇’)ゞ Regardless of the atmosphere inside the restaurant, the prices remain the same as always ((´∀｀))ﾎｯ

Today, I had fried scorpions at a cozy little izakaya called "Taneyoshi" in the deep drinking district of Hankashoten-gai on the north side of Tennoji Station. The izakaya has a long narrow L-shaped counter, and you have to go outside to reach the restroom. Menu strips are hanging everywhere, on the counter, above, and on the ceiling. It's hard to decide what to order with so many menu options. They even have unusual items like salamander, shark, frog, and camel. They source rare ingredients from all over Japan. I tried the scorpions, which tasted like shrimp but weren't particularly delicious. While the cost performance is good, be careful not to rack up a high bill by only ordering exotic dishes.

I was in Osaka and decided to explore a less visited area, Tennoji. I stumbled upon a restaurant called "Taneyoshi" which had a overwhelming menu with a chaotic atmosphere. I was surprised at the variety of dishes, including scorpion tempura and other trendy insect dishes. I decided to start with a highball and ordered tuna sashimi, steamed oysters, and raw intestine as appetizers. The raw intestine had a bit of a strong smell, but the other dishes were decent. The prices were very affordable. I also had another highball and ordered stir-fried hormone and Hida beef croquette. The hormone stir-fry was particularly delicious, with no unpleasant smell. Overall, the experience was good and the budget was around 2,000 to 3,000 yen.

When I said "this street," I meant it just like this. I don't know if there's a street called something street or not. I really hope they don't do any redevelopment here and keep it as it is. Anyway, I finally got to visit a restaurant that I've been wanting to go to for a while. "Taneyoshi." The sign still says "standing bar," but it's not a standing bar. The menu is incredibly long. The variety of choices is like the Tanabata festival. There are so many options that it makes my head spin. I want to carefully look through and decide what to order, but there's so much information that my brain refuses to process it all. Maybe my brain has shrunk over the years from continuous drinking. Still, upon closer inspection, I realize that it's not just a long menu, but it also includes local specialties and ingredients from all over Japan. Hokkaido's Jingisukan, Kesennuma's fried shark, Fukui's heshiko, Hamamatsu's eel sashimi, Hiroshima's oysters, Kochi's bonito belly skin, Saga's mutton, Kagoshima's local chicken, Okinawa's goya champuru... etc. From popular local dishes to rare ones that only locals eat, it's overwhelming how extensive the menu is, and it makes my head spin. While talking about this, I realize that there are also foreign dishes. Despite all this, I'm not a fan of exotic foods, so I just ordered beer and sea bream sashimi. The sashimi was only 280 yen, which is cheap. Not only is the menu extensive, but everything is quite affordable. There was also a fried bamboo ring filled with Kumamoto's specialty potato salad, and even a tuna natto dish. It's not adventurous ordering, as some readers might think (no arguments there). I also had sake and cheese with wasabi pickles. It was a great combination that made the sake go down smoothly, so I had another round of sake. Some regulars were ordering without looking at the menu, and some items were already "discontinued." The extensive menu is constantly changing. Some ingredients may become difficult to obtain or increase in price. Nevertheless, it's fascinating. The chaos of endless possibilities is felt as you dig deeper. But simply put, it's a place where you can drink cheaply and smoke. I'm tempted to go back again.

In Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, there is a place called "Taneyoshi" in Tennoji-ku. It is located in the Hankawashotengai shopping street. The entire wall is covered with strips of menu items, with a wide variety of choices including crayfish, crocodile, camel, scorpion, and insects. We ordered the regular dishes such as horse sashimi, kobada sashimi, and chicken karaage. During the time we visited, draft beer was only 200 yen, which was a great deal! The prices for individual dishes are also reasonable. The staff, both the ladies and gentlemen, are friendly and provide good service. Although it is originally a standing bar, they have installed acrylic boards and chairs for a more relaxed drinking experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a great meal.

A wonderful standing bar in Tennoji, Osaka - Taneyoshi Maido! Yamadera This day, I went to Tennoji for the first time in a while to enjoy some ladder drinking. The place I visited was the standing bar Taneyoshi, which I hadn't been to in a while. I have also uploaded a video on YouTube, so please check it out if you're interested. This place is known for its extensive menu, offering a wide variety of rare delicacies and dishes from all over the country. Drinks start at 350 yen for a highball, but I forgot to take a photo... When it comes to food, I always crave the Jigoku Dofu (Hell Tofu) for 450 yen when I come here. So, of course, I ordered it. By the way, the spiciness level ranges from 1 to 5, but apparently, it goes up to 10 levels. I chose the level 5 spiciness this time! The difference in spiciness is determined by the amount of green chili peppers on top. Although it looks very spicy, you first taste sweetness before the spiciness kicks in. However, it's strangely addictive! On this day, the recommended menu item was the Honmaguro Chutoro (Bluefin Tuna Medium Fatty) for 580 yen, so I ordered it. As expected, I could taste the sweetness of the fatty chutoro melting in my mouth. It was really delicious chutoro! I also tried the Hokke sashimi for 580 yen. I had only ever had grilled Hokke before, but the sashimi had a lot of fat and was surprisingly delicious. I saw Tan Smoke for 150 yen on the service menu, so I ordered it. It's cheap but has a decent amount. The Tan Smoke on top of onion slices is flavored with black pepper and is a perfect accompaniment to drinks. I also had Basashi (horse sashimi). Basashi with sweet soy sauce from Kyushu is delicious. I tried the Salad Chikuwa Age for 280 yen, which was chikuwa stuffed with potato salad. It was really delicious, especially when eaten with the attached curry powder. Standing bar Taneyoshi - Basic Information - Address: 15-13 Horikoshi-cho, Tennoji-ku, Osaka Closed: January 1st, 2nd, and Sundays Business hours: 16:00-24:00 (Last order 23:30) Difficulty of entering alone: ★★☆☆☆ (Average)

I visited this restaurant based on a recommendation from a follower on a social media platform. The restaurant was located in Osaka and had a lively atmosphere. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the menu included a variety of unique dishes such as scorpion, salamander, alligator, crab, and ostrich skewers. The prices were reasonable, ranging from 300 to 500 yen. I ordered the "kei-chan" (chicken innards) and was embarrassed when I mispronounced it as "tori-chan." The dish had a strong garlic flavor. I also tried the alligator fried in curry salt, which had a texture similar to squid or scallops. Overall, the food was delicious and I would love to visit this restaurant again during my next trip to Osaka.

During the self-restraint period, I visited this place for a quick break on the last day of Golden Week. I had a fun time with a one-hour drinking session. This was my second visit, and I always find it hard to choose from their extensive menu. Normally a standing bar, they had chairs available now, so I could relax while drinking. When entering, the mama sprayed us with ethanol and they seated groups with a space in between for social distancing. We started with a toast with beer, which was a great deal at 190 yen during the lunch service. We enjoyed dishes like raw herring, raw senmai (pork intestine), and soft shell crab tempura. I couldn't resist trying a bit of the sake in the fridge. They had some unique drinks, and I hope to come back when things settle down and enjoy a peaceful day. The service here is unique, but I love it. Another enjoyable day, thank you for the meal!
