Meoto Zenzai

I think this is the best Okonomiyaki I've ever had~ I highly recommend it! I feel so happy eating even the most ordinary tonkatsu~ Four young people next door walked out of the store and shouted: Delicious! I was shocked [poor] It's really delicious. I'll go to Sennichimae's main store to try it next time I have time~

This restaurant's red bean paste balls are very famous. The red beans inside are ground very finely, and the glutinous rice in the balls is very elastic. Even in Japan, eating a red bean soup is very expensive. The environment is very good, and the average cost per person is 100.

What a good couple! The name of this restaurant is really interesting. The main products of this restaurant are smoothies and glutinous rice cakes. Basically, every table of guests who come here must order these two.

A very famous dessert shop. I have seen photos taken at night on the Internet before. It feels quite mysterious. Basically, tourists who come to Osaka will come here to eat. I am not very interested in red bean soup, so I didn't plan to come here to check it out, but I came across this place on the way to Kuromon. My friend said he was a little interested, so I came here to eat a portion the second time I came here. Because I had just eaten lunch and was not hungry, I shared one with two people, which just happened to fit the theme of this shop. There was only one aunt in the shop, wearing a kimono, serious, and didn't seem to speak English very well. We asked for a hot red bean white jade soup. When it was served, we saw that it was also served with salty kelp. We tried it and found that the taste was too fishy. We were embarrassed to throw it away, so we had to swallow it. There was only one garden in each bowl of red bean white jade soup, which was soft and sticky. The more amazing thing was the red bean soup, which was very, very rich, not sweet or greasy. How to say it, it tasted fresh, but it was obviously a dessert, but it was really delicious! ! What a magical experience! It seems to have been stewed for a long time, it is very thick and very good!

I had originally thought of this shop in my travel guide, but I almost missed it because it was hidden in the alley of Hozenji Temple. The shop is old-fashioned and nostalgic with few seats and a little crowded. This dessert shop was founded in the 16th year of the Meiji era (1883). The original name of the shop was "Yufuku", a red bean rice cake specialty store. "Yufuku" uses Japan's most advanced Tanba Dainagon red beans as raw materials. After being stewed in a pot for 8 hours, it is left to stand overnight so that each red bean is fully dipped in sugar while maintaining the integrity and softness of the red bean particles. After being soaked overnight, the red beans are sweet but not greasy when they are eaten, and they are sweet and moist. The soft and glutinous rice cake dumplings complement each other, and finally taste the salty kelp to relieve the sweetness. It is said that when the Japanese Zen Master Ikkyu tasted the red bean rice cake soup for the first time, he praised it repeatedly, "This juice is good." So the disciples followed the teacher's words, and the red bean rice cake soup was called "good", and it spread from then on. The only thing on the menu is two identical bowls of red bean rice cakes, served in pairs on the same tray, and never sold individually. Later, Oda Sakunosuke changed the name of the dessert shop "Ofuku" to "Fuku Zenzai" in his novel "Fuku Zenzai". It was adapted into a movie and received great reviews, making the small shop "Ofuku" a hit, and the name was naturally changed to "Fuku Zenzai". If you want to have a harmonious relationship and sweet love, men and women who go to Hozenji Yokocho, remember to try the red bean rice cakes of "Fuku Zenzai".

Fuwu Shanzai is a small red bean soup restaurant. I read a lot of guides and travel notes before going there, and saw that many people recommended that you must try it when visiting Hozenji, so I included it in my travel plan this time. We went there in the evening, and the navigation was not actually very accurate, so we found it by accident. The store is small, but the layout is warm and cozy, very suitable for couples. The red bean soup comes in a set, not sold individually, one bowl is cold and the other is hot. I don't really like red bean flavored food, so I can't really describe the taste of the red bean soup, but because I like the environment in the store and the stories promoted in the store, I will bring my husband there again in the future.

The red bean paste of the couple next to Hozenji Temple is very famous. In fact, the red bean paste is not special, but its meaning is special. The red bean paste for one person is divided into two bowls, which is not enough to satisfy the craving. However, if a couple eats it together, their relationship will be happy, and if a single person eats it alone, a good marriage will come...

There is a red bean dessert called Fukuzenzai in Dotonbori Hozenji Temple. There are hot and cold options. Since we are a couple, we can only choose one, all hot or all cold. I chose the hot one. The red beans are very sweet. The Yuanxiao is quite delicious. It comes with a small dish of salty kelp, but I think it is too salty. An elderly couple came to the store and they also ordered red bean paste. The clerk helped take pictures. This may be Fukuzenzai.
