    Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Namba 3-1-34
    One of the oldest “yoshoku” Japanese-style Western restaurants in Osaka, founded in 1910, famous for its curry rice. The shop’s renowned curry is served mixed with rice and topped with a raw egg, an idea born out of a desire to serve piping hot curry in a time when no commercial warming or reheating devices were available. The only toppings (other than the raw egg) are onions and beef. The shop’s “light” dashi stock gives the curry a unique flavor, and adding some sauce provided at each table further enhances the deliciousness. The closest station is Namba Station.

    This restaurant features Japanese style Western food. Especially the famous cuisine is curry cooked with their own recipe. A typical Japanese curry puts curry soup on rice, but their curry was mixed...

    Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Nishishinsaibashi 2-7-27
    A venerable “yoshoku” Japanese-style Western restaurant located in Osaka City’s Chuo Ward said to be the originator of omelet rice. It is believed that a dish created for a regular with a weak stomach who always ordered rice and omelets in 1925 became the model for the popular Japanese dish. The restaurant is housed in a tea ceremony house-style purely Japanese building and the omelet rice served here tastes extra special when eaten while seated on a zabuton cushion on the tatami mat floor. In addition to standard ketchup-based omelet rice, the restaurant also serves a wide variety of variations, such as hayashi sauce and beef stew-based versions.

    Serve authentic Japanese Omurice(Omelette rice) which is very very delicious. It is like a canteen kind of environment. But very nice spots to sit in. They have a lot of choices of Omu rice to...

The home-made bacon, which is cooked in the same oven as the pizza, is served in large, filling portions and is very satisfying.

    About four years ago, my favorite Osaka pizzeria closed down, leaving me without a decent option. Everything else was too expensive, too mediocre, or too far. Finally, Ive found a place that makes...
