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!

A popular ramen shop near Osaka Honmachi Station "Frankan"! 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! The fried rice was also piping hot, and I thought it was more delicious than the ramen🥹✨ I want to go back for fried rice again!! 📍 3-5-3 Kitakubojicho, Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture 541-0057 #OsakaTourism#OsakaGourmet #OsakaCity #Ramen

~foodscape! BAKERY~ A stylish bakery in Kitahama, Osaka. Inside the store, there are simple breads and savory breads, and there are limited-edition strawberry donuts. 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
