    Osaka Osakashi Fukushima-ku Fukushima 5-8-17
    MACELLERIA di TAKEUCHI is a “meat bar” where the main focus is on meat dishes. This is a famous eatery that has been awarded a star in the Michelin Guide for two years in a row; despite this, the atmosphere in the restaurant is casual and welcoming. The main course meat dishes, appetizers and desserts are all very reasonably priced, as is the “Night Lunch” served after 23:00, which comprises salad, soup, and pasta or curry. Meat dishes are cooked slowly over a charcoal grill after the dish has been ordered, so it takes around 30 minutes after ordering before the food is served; it is a good idea to give yourself plenty of time when dining here.
