I've heard from friends who often travel to Japan that the crab doroki at the Dotonbori main store is the best. I tried the Chinese branch last time and felt that the food quality of this branch was better than that of the Chinese branch. Last time, I had many travel companions, so I had my own private room. This time, there were only two of us, and we were seated on the tatami near the window, so we could enjoy the riverside scenery and fresh crabs along the way. The clerk downstairs was very enthusiastic. When he saw my eyes lingering on the child's hat for a few seconds, he chased after me and wanted to give me the hat. Will come again next time~
I heard that it was hard to make a reservation, but I was lucky enough to get a seat right away, perhaps because I went at 5 o'clock. It was served neatly as a course, and the price wasn't bad considering the set meal or the seat. It was a course of 50,000-60,000 won per person. My parents who went with me were also satisfied. I always saw the sign, but it was nice to eat it directly.

Harukoma Sushi Restaurant in Osaka is really delicious. Full marks for taste and price.
I chatted with the grandpa sitting next to me and bought us some small rolls. When we left, he insisted on giving us 2,000 yen. The clerk said that grandpa giving you money means luck.
Super happy and touched
Harukoma Sushi is located at 5-5-2 Tenjinbashi, Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture. This Japanese restaurant has a lot of sushi. We ate a lot of sushi. My favorites are the eel and tuna sushi. The eel is big and fresh and delicious. The clam soup has a lot of ingredients. The sushi is not expensive and has a good value for money.

Eel rice is delicious, but the price is heartbreaking. The most cost-effective way to eat it is to have a set meal at noon on a weekday. Although the eel in the set meal is smaller than that in the evening, the sauce and cooking method are the same, making it the most economical and affordable choice.
Our shop is located at Chuo 2-5-2 Koraibashi 541-0043, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture. The service attitude of the waiters is very good. They are all attentive and courteous. The menu has multiple language options. I ordered an eel, the fish was fresh and tender, and the rice was Each piece absorbed the eel juice and it was very delicious. You must try it when you come to Osaka!

When you come to Japan, you must have one or two Japanese barbecue meals, because the meat is really delicious and affordable. You really have to eat more. I think the sauce is delicious, not sour or sweet, just right.
This Manryo restaurant located in Tenjinbashi store can be said to be a very popular BBQ restaurant among tourists in Osaka. The meat here is very fresh. Of course, the price is not cheap compared to domestic food, and the per capita price is close to RMB 300.

The first meal I encountered was a die-hard sushi restaurant. It turned out to be a great Japanese restaurant right next to the hotel. It has set meals, sukiyaki, tempura, sashimi, sushi, ramen, etc. You can choose booths, tatami mats and counter seats. The sashimi is very delicious. All kinds of sushi are really top-notch. Everything is outstanding. The average price per person is less than 2,000 yen. There are young beauties in kimonos.
Affordable and delicious! A very unique Japanese food restaurant!

The barbecue restaurant costs little high, but their wagyu is very delicious. Worth to visit for dinner. Kind employees and good location
Carnivores can try it. The meat is really tender and melts in your mouth. You will get sick of it if you eat too much😆~ But if you eat it occasionally, it is still amazing~ I have to say that the beef is really amazing [good] The barbecue is really delicious
The waiter doesn’t understand English very well and you can only pay in cash or by visa card
The queue can’t stop it from being delicious😍

The days in Osaka are all about eating, shopping and shopping. The yakiniku is top-notch! The meat is tender, the sauce is rich and the taste is great! Two adults + two children were extremely satisfied with the meal. They kept shouting: Come to this restaurant again tomorrow night!
I happened to be playing nearby, so I found a BBQ restaurant nearby in the evening. The BBQ restaurant was great, the Matsusaka beef was really good, it is one of the Japanese brands of beef, the meat quality is very good, the key is that eating yakiniku in Japan is really cost-effective, I recommend it.
