· :+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-+:-+:- 🇯🇵 Osaka, Shinsaibashi "Unagiya Hanamichi Shinsaibashi Store" The buzzing Namba spot opens its 2nd location! Shinsaibashi-exclusive "Eel & Beef" and extravagant Unaju · :+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-+:-+:- About a 5-minute walk from Subway "Namba Station." The highly talked-about eel specialty restaurant in Namba, "Unagiya Hanamichi," celebrated the grand opening of its second location on June 1st. While maintaining the reliable "grilling" techniques perfected at the Namba store and the carefully selected high-quality eel, they have introduced a limited-edition specialty available only at the Shinsaibashi store. This summer's [Midsummer Day of the Ox (Doyo no Ushi no Hi) falls on Sunday, July 26th]. It is a traditional Japanese custom to eat highly nutritious eel to prevent falling ill during the change of seasons, but we decided to get an early stamina boost. ・Premium Eel & Beef Hitsumabushi - 5,980 yen ・Overflowing Unaju - 3,980 yen The highly anticipated Shinsaibashi-exclusive "Premium Eel & Beef Hitsumabushi" features an incredibly luxurious presentation where you can enjoy both eel and meat at once. The Wagyu beef, cooked slowly at a low temperature, boasts an exquisite balance of marbling and lean meat, making it moist and tender. The eel specialty store's traditional sauce and dashi broth also pair flawlessly with the meat, allowing us to fully savor this lavish combination. The other dish, the "Overflowing Unaju," leaves a massive impact with its generous portion that literally overflows from the box, just as its name suggests. Perhaps thanks to the grilling techniques inherited from the Namba store, it is aromatic on the outside and plump and meaty on the inside. Coated perfectly with the sweet and savory sauce, it makes you unable to put your chopsticks down. The atmosphere is perfect for a little luxury after work or a satisfying meal while sightseeing in Osaka. Shinsaibashi has just gained another fantastic restaurant you'll want to visit again and again. ───────────── ▼ Unagiya Hanamichi Shinsaibashi Store 2-4-7 Nishishinsaibashi, Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture Shinfukuni Building 2F Business Hours: 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM Closed: None Access: About a 5-minute walk from Exit 25 of Subway "Namba Station" ─────────────

In a city as energetic and fast-moving as Osaka, finding a hotel room that instantly makes you slow down and relax feels incredibly rewarding. Staying in the Honmachi area offered exactly that — a peaceful modern retreat hidden right in the middle of Osaka’s nonstop urban energy. The moment the room door opened, the atmosphere completely changed. Clean contemporary Japanese design, warm lighting, soft neutral tones, and floor-to-ceiling windows created a space that felt elegant yet calming at the same time. Instead of feeling cramped like many city hotels, the room felt thoughtfully planned with an open and comfortable layout that made it easy to fully unwind after long days exploring the city. One of the most memorable parts was the contrast between the busy streets outside and the peaceful environment inside. After walking through crowded shopping districts, train stations, and neon-lit attractions, returning to a quiet skyline view above Osaka felt almost therapeutic. Watching the city lights from the room at night added a surprisingly cinematic feeling to the stay. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, while the sleek bathroom design and spotless cleanliness elevated the overall experience even further. Every detail felt refined without being overly flashy, perfectly reflecting the understated elegance Japan does so well. Its location also made exploring Osaka incredibly convenient, with easy access to major train lines, shopping streets, cafés, and famous attractions nearby. It became more than just a place to sleep — it felt like a stylish sanctuary that completed the Osaka experience itself. A modern Japanese city stay where comfort, design, and tranquility come together beautifully above the heart of Osaka. 🇯🇵✨ #japanhotel

One of the best parts of staying in central Osaka is discovering how a hotel room can completely transform the energy of your trip. After spending hours exploring crowded shopping streets, neon-lit neighborhoods, and busy train stations, stepping into a calm and beautifully designed room in the Honmachi area feels like entering a private urban sanctuary above the city. The room perfectly captures modern Japanese elegance with its clean design, warm ambient lighting, and thoughtfully organized layout. Every detail feels intentional — from the soft textures and minimalist furnishings to the large windows that let Osaka’s cityscape become part of the atmosphere itself. During the day, natural light fills the room beautifully, while nighttime creates a cozy skyline retreat overlooking the city lights. What makes the experience especially memorable is how spacious and relaxing the room feels despite being in the middle of one of Japan’s busiest cities. The bed is exceptionally comfortable, making it the perfect place to recharge after long days walking through Dotonbori, Shinsaibashi, or Umeda. The peaceful atmosphere creates a striking contrast against Osaka’s nonstop energy outside. The bathroom also adds a premium touch with sleek modern finishes, spotless cleanliness, and the kind of comfort that instantly makes you slow down and unwind. Combined with the hotel’s strategic location near major train connections, it becomes more than just accommodation — it feels like an essential part of the Osaka experience itself. A stylish city retreat where modern Japanese design, comfort, and skyline views come together beautifully in the heart of Osaka. 🇯🇵✨ #japanhotel

Yesterday, a Canadian mom planning a customized family trip to Japan specifically requested this fishing tea house to be included in her itinerary. It's a unique izakaya experience! This place is undoubtedly a popular hotspot, especially loved by kids for its fun concept and fancy decor. Today, let's dive into its highlights and some tips to ensure you enjoy the experience without any hiccups. Highlights: ✅ From the creative concept to the decor, what kid could resist fishing for shrimp and fish in a cool restaurant? ✅ Plenty of fish, and the chances of catching one are high, giving kids a sense of achievement and excitement (if you can't catch one, you can scoop them up directly). ✅ You can enjoy the fish as sashimi, cooked, or grilled—one fish can be prepared in multiple ways. The lively atmosphere adds to the experience, and parents who enjoy a drink can indulge a little. ✅ Each table has a grill, so you can cook the fish you catch yourself, making it an interactive and fun experience for kids. ✅ Convenient locations: one in Shinsaibashi and another near Tsutenkaku Tower. Things to keep in mind: ✅ The food itself is average, and prices are on the higher side. It's more about the experience than the value as a restaurant. ✅ Once you catch a fish, you have to pay for it. Some parents have had to deal with kids catching fish without supervision, which means you’ll have to wait for it to be prepared and eat it. ✅ Don’t expect too much from the service or English communication. Check if there are Chinese-speaking staff available or use a translation app. Tips: ✔️ There’s a seating fee for each person (similar to a tea fee). ✔️ If you want to choose your seating, make sure to specify when making a reservation. ✔️ Be cautious with the fishing rods to avoid injuries from the hooks.

In the end, I was thinking too small... I thought a teppanyaki set meal would just fill me up, but I never expected that this Kobe beef teppanyaki near Shinsaibashi in Osaka would actually make me unable to eat anymore... The portion was quite large, and my teammate and I both said, "How is there still more?" The taste was quite good, and both my teammate and I were very satisfied! We ordered the 8,800 yen set meal ~ three large pieces of Kobe beef A5 grade! For this price, so much meat is really very affordable! After finishing this, I was very full, and then there was Kobe beef fried rice... After that, there was dessert, and since I usually eat a lot, I was actually stuffed. If you like wasabi, you can eat more of their wasabi, which is homemade by the restaurant and won’t be too spicy even if you add a lot! The head chef kept adding more when he saw the condiments were running out! The restaurant’s decor is very stylish, perfect for anniversaries or dates!

Even at lunchtime, there is a long line, but when I went there on a Sunday around 3pm, I was able to get in without lining up☺️👏 They had soy sauce ramen, miso ramen, and even chilled Chinese noodles, and they all looked delicious, but I ended up going for the soy sauce ramen! It was a soy sauce ramen with a rich flavor just from the look!! The noodles were chewy and it was the first time I'd ever had ramen that was so chewy!! The soup was addictively rich and delicious!

You can eat in, so I went there for lunch. I had bread, donuts, apple and cauliflower soup. It's unusual, isn't it? I was wondering, "Apple soup?" but it didn't taste that much like apple. lol I especially recommend the "strawberry donuts" at this time of year. They look cute and aren't too sweet, so you can eat them all in one go. The interior is stylish and cute, so I definitely recommend you go. [Store information] foodscape!

~ The store is located on the 2nd floor of the commercial building is quite hard to find, the whole first floor is ramen street, Osaka Castle Park straight 11 minutes distance. The shop is overall Muji style, clean and neat. The customers who visit the shop seem to be nearby residents, working-class workers and couples. ~ The ramen broth is white broth, which is made from 5-10 years of sun-dried Japanese clams, salmon, mackerel, sea bass, oysters, scallops, etc., mixed with red wine, 100% apple juice and Japanese sake. ~ The sign is "らあ麺塩" 900 yen The soup is very rich, to my surprise the soup after the addition of carefully selected butter, the impact of the soup is super large, very unexpectedly very tasty combination, recommend you to try! I also ordered char siu rice, Japanese people love ramen with rice, char siu is very soft, adding soup to make bubble rice is delicious (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎) Personally, I think the sour and spicy soup does not need to be ordered, its sour and spicy soup is made with the feeling of Japanese Chinese cuisine sour and spicy soup, the overall taste is a little sour, the aroma is with spices, the signature tastes better @@ ~ This one was opened during the pandemic in 2021. It feels very different from some traditional ramen. You can try it next time you come to Osaka ~ Store message Store Name - ちょろ Address - No. 213, Honmachi, Nachi-ku, Chuo-ku, Osaka City Instagram - ramen.choro

#OsakaTourism \ EMBANKMENT COFFEE / A cafe in Kitahama, Osaka. Kitahama is a popular area for tourists and a hotbed of cafes. EMBANKMENT COFFEE is a shop that only sells lightly roasted beans, and is especially recommended for coffee lovers. They will tell you which coffee goes well with desserts, and they also sell it in the shop. The hot coffee I had was sour and went well with the cake. I regret not asking about the beans. For cake, I ordered the "Cinnamon Cheesecake" (600 yen). It was a mature cheesecake with a strong cinnamon flavor. It was not too sweet and delicious. You may like it or not. I relaxed and relaxed while looking out at the river. It's a cafe that's easy to go to alone, so I recommend it. · ------------------------- EMBANKMENT COFFEE 1-1-23 Kitahama, Chuo-ku, Osaka Weekdays 12:00-18:00 Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays 9:00-18:00 · ------------------------- #EMBANKMENT COFFEE#Embank Coffee#osaka#kitahama #Kitahama Cafe#Kitahama #Osaka Cafe#Osaka Tourism #Osaka Gourmet #Coffee Lover #Cafe Tour

The menu is designed to meet the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's daily recommended vegetable intake of 350g or more in a single meal. I attended a media tasting to experience Toh-Lee’s course, which packs in approximately 392g of vegetables. ・Chinese-style Red Sea Bream Salad ・Pumpkin & Bell Pepper Soup Main Dish (Choose one): ① Various Vegetables with Shark Fin Starchy Sauce ② Mikan Chicken & Chunky Vegetable Stir-fry with Cashew Nuts ・Tofu Noodle & Mushroom Hot and Sour Soup ・Candied Sweet Potato Dumplings & Apricot Syrup-soaked "Aiko" (Mini Tomato) The Red Sea Bream salad features a refreshing original sauce, followed by a pumpkin and bell pepper soup with an exquisitely smooth texture. The main shark fin dish is incredibly satisfying, with the savory sauce perfectly coating a variety of vegetables, each offering a different crunch. The finishing Hot and Sour Soup, made with healthy tofu noodles and a tangy broth, is light yet flavorful. The dessert is playful, featuring syrup-soaked mini tomatoes. Even with 392g of vegetables, the course remains exciting and satisfying until the very last bite. ▼ Body Support Drinks - 1,000 yen each ・Pomegranate Tomato ・Acai Passion The Pomegranate Tomato drink perfectly balances the savory notes of tomato with the tart sweetness of pomegranate. The Acai Passion offers a tropical richness and refreshing finish—both are incredibly nourishing. A stamp rally will also be held during this period, offering a wonderful way to enjoy a healthy lunch in the hotel's premium atmosphere. ───────────── ▼ Chinese Restaurant "Toh-Lee" 1-3-3 Nishi-Shinsaibashi, Chuo-ku, Osaka Hotel Nikko Osaka, 3rd Floor Hours: 11:30 AM – 2:30 PM (Lunch time) Closed: Weekdays only (Not available on weekends/holidays) Access: Directly connected to Osaka Metro Shinsaibashi Station, Exit 8 ─────────────
