I visited the main Torachan Hozoji Yokocho store in Dotonbori during my business trip to Osaka. I reserved a private room with a sunken kotatsu table, where I could relax and enjoy drinks and grilled meat in a calm atmosphere. The meat was tender and delicious, especially the Harami. There are many private rooms available, and it seems to be a popular choice among celebrities and famous people. I would definitely want to visit this restaurant again during my next Osaka business trip.

Today the weather is nice, a bit chilly with a cool breeze, perfect for going out. Watched a movie in Namba, did some shopping at Namba Parks, then took a leisurely stroll to Hozenji Yokocho. For dinner, tried out "Torachan" for the first time, a yakiniku restaurant run by a famous meat shop in Sennichimae with lots of celebrity autographs on display. Despite making a last-minute reservation, the kind service from the landlady and staff was much appreciated! The meat was delicious, especially the premium tenderloin! The flavor was rich and the meat was tender. So tasty! Will definitely visit again (^_^)v

Today I am at Hozonji for a work dinner. It's a business meal, more like entertaining. I found a delicious yakiniku place that fits our budget, so today there are a total of 5 of us at Hozonji. The restaurant is located near Mizukake Jizo. Upon entering, we informed them of our reservation and were directed to the second floor. We went upstairs to a semi-private room. We took off our coats and hung them on the coat rack outside the room. Then we sat at a table with a kotatsu-style heater. We ordered a course with a variety of meats to enjoy. We started with a toast with beer. We were served thick-cut tongue first. The tongue here is thick and very satisfying. We started grilling it right away, dipping it in sesame. The unique light juiciness and texture of the tongue, combined with the flavor of sesame, was delicious. We enjoyed the tongue for a while. Next, the recommended set A arrived. It included loin, belly, top harami, top teppan, akasen, top mino, top tsurami, kokoro, tantora, vegetable grill, and sausage. We started by grilling what seemed to be belly meat. The beef here had a moderate marbling, making it tender and high-quality even in its raw state. The loin, belly, and harami were all tender and each had its own enjoyable characteristics. The vegetables included shiitake mushrooms, bell peppers, pumpkin, onions, carrots, eggplant, and potatoes. The sauce was clear but flavorful, bringing out the umami of the meat. We switched from beer to shochu. Our stomachs were starting to settle. Eating yakiniku and tonkatsu really makes us feel our age. We changed things up with sausages and hormone. We grilled them slowly and enjoyed them as a drinking snack. For the finale, after some consideration, we ordered a stone bibimbap to share. It was the right amount and delicious, with a good amount of crispy rice. The quality of the meat, the preparation, and the cost-effectiveness of the yakiniku meal were all excellent. However, there was an incident with the service. The following conversation is about one staff member on the second floor... They handle additional drinks and menu orders over the phone. At first, it was normal, but then it became a bit rough. Well, there's no point in writing more about it. The food was great, but the actions of just one person... left a sour taste. Lately, I've encountered situations like this often, and dining out has become a bit tiring. Feeling exhausted, we left the restaurant. I'm not sure about returning. Thank you for the meal.

I visited with a friend. When we got on the elevator, we saw many autographs of celebrities. We were excited as we entered the restaurant! The tsukedare sauce was refreshing and easy to eat, made with high-quality meat that had a slight marbling, giving it a rich sweetness and umami. While the meat was firm, the sauce was not the usual heavy and thick type, but had a refreshing taste that made it easy to eat. I didn't feel tired from eating, so I left the restaurant in a very good mood. Highly recommended!!

I casually came to Osaka and felt like eating meat, so I found a delicious looking restaurant! It was one of the top 100 restaurants, so I decided to eat here. As I walked down the alley, which felt like the streets of Kyoto, I saw the restaurant. When I entered, a woman who seemed to be the owner's wife (just a guess) guided me to my seat. I ordered the following: - Special salted beef tongue for 2000 yen - Special sirloin for 2500 yen - Special beef shabu-shabu for 1600 yen - Special sirloin shabu-shabu for 3000 yen - Special harami (skirt steak) for 2000 yen - Pork belly for 1600 yen - Grilled vegetables for 800 yen - Wiener sausage for 600 yen - Kakuteki (beef intestine) for 400 yen All the meats I ordered were tender and easy to eat, regardless of their price. However, they were all high-quality meats with a lot of marbling, making them quite fatty, so I couldn't eat a lot. But eating them with rice in my left hand was irresistible!

Visited this place with friends and their family during our trip to Osaka. Didn't take many photos because I was too lazy during the trip... The staff were friendly and the private rooms were amazing. The grilled tail was incredibly delicious. Thank you for the meal. Tomorrow, we're all going to Universal Studios!

Today I was in the mood for yakiniku in summer Osaka. I usually don't order horumon, but it was recommended so I tried it. It was carefully grilled and so delicious. Goes well with alcohol too. When I go to Osaka again, I want to visit there. The atmosphere at Hozenji Yokocho is nice, isn't it?

I couldn't go to the yakiniku place I was aiming for in Tsuruhashi, so I ended up at this place in Namba as a substitute. I wonder if it originated from Tsuruhashi? It's quite clean with private rooms. I ordered the classic cuts like tongue, kalbi, and harami. First of all, the premium tongue was incredibly delicious. It's not very thick, but it's fatty and has a super rich flavor. The kalbi was also clean and tasted amazing even before eating it. Can't resist the rice. The kimchi was also perfect, a bit sweet which I like. With drinks included, it's less than 7000 yen per person, which is an amazing cost performance. I found an incredibly good yakiniku restaurant.

Visited by reservation. Enjoyed yakiniku in a private room at a leisurely pace. Ordered special cuts like harami, bara, upper tsurami, special loin, and shabu-shabu. The harami had a high-quality appearance like loin with no unpleasant smell and was tender. The most delicious was the special loin shabu-shabu, with a slightly thick cut that was both tender and chewy, a truly delicious dish. This one piece could easily be eaten with a bowl of rice. Skipped salads and went all out on the meat. Thank you for the feast.

It was very delicious. The menu is extensive so you'll want to try a variety of dishes. We had a large group so we were able to try many different types of food, which was great. The kimchi was quite spicy. We enjoyed our meal in a private room on the second floor that day. Thank you for the meal.

I ordered the following menu items: - Special salted tongue: 2,200 yen - Grilled beef oxtail: 1,200 yen - Cold noodles (small): 800 yen It was a restaurant that focused on black wagyu beef, and having a private room was also appreciated. Thank you for the delicious meal! Thank you very much, Torachan!

I chose this restaurant to cheer up a friend during a business trip and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was. The kimchi set, namul, and other side dishes were fresh and well-seasoned. I ordered the tongue salt, hormone, and harami, and each dish exceeded my expectations in terms of flavor. The tongue salt was not too thick, making it easy to eat, and the sauce was excellent. The galbi had perfect marbling and texture. The cold noodles for the finishing touch were light yet satisfying. Overall, it was an amazing dining experience.

Recently, many yakiniku restaurants of the same quality have been opening up. I wonder if in the past, when there were fewer options, many famous people used to come here. Maybe the owner knows a lot of people. The atmosphere, service, variety and taste of the meat, and everything else is neither good nor bad.

My company's colleague came to Osaka, so we went to eat yakiniku around 5pm. We were able to get in without waiting because there was a last-minute cancellation for one group. Normally, reservations are required. We had bean sprout namul, kimchi, assorted meats, tongue, salt, and other assorted dishes, along with rice. Thank you for the meal.

The area near Hozenji Yokocho is also returning to its lively atmosphere before the pandemic. I visited Torachan, my favorite yakiniku restaurant in Osaka! The tongue at Torachan is really delicious! I eat it with their special sauce, not lemon. I also love the harami because it has no smell at all! This is the only place where I finish my meal with cold noodles. I will definitely be coming back again! I keep coming back here all the time!

When going for yakiniku in Osaka, there are many options but I made a reservation here near Shinsaibashi. I was happy to see that there are partitions between all seats, but unfortunately the person next to me was very noisy. We ordered the Special Salted Tongue for 2200 yen, the Premium Salted Tongue for 1800 yen, the Akami Assortment for 2800 yen, Kimchi, Namul, Egg Soup, Stone-grilled Bibimbap, and Tail Soup. The thick-cut tongue was sold out so we ordered two other types of tongue. Both are eaten wrapped in green onions, but it was unclear if green onions were necessary. Personally, I preferred the Special Salted Tongue. The Akami assortment included loin, belly, and premium harami, all of which were delicious. However, they were not as lean as I had expected, so I would have been happier with more lean cuts. Personally, I was very satisfied with the Tail Soup, which was incredibly delicious. The prices are reasonable and it is a well-balanced restaurant. I would like to revisit if given the chance.

This restaurant is located in Hozenji Yokocho, Dotonbori, Osaka. It was selected as one of the top 100 yakiniku restaurants by Tabelog in 2020 and 2021. I went there with a friend and we were able to get in without a reservation, although we were a bit nervous. We only had to wait for about 5 minutes. Everything we ordered was delicious and we were pleasantly surprised! If you want to treat yourself to some high-quality yakiniku, this is the place to go! Highly recommended. My Instagram: hide06_21. I have been writing reviews on Tabelog since March 2021. Nice to meet you! My nickname is Hanchou. I enjoy trying out different restaurants.

Visited the "Honke Torachan Housenjicho" in Chuo-ku, Osaka. This yakiniku restaurant, which also has a butcher shop in Tsuruhashi, is set up with a multi-level structure with private rooms. Started with the "Special Salted Tongue" and then ordered the "Torachan Recommended Set A". The beautifully presented large plate definitely got us excited. Grilled and enjoyed the delicious meat. Appreciated that the set came with vegetables as well. Also had the "Kimchi Assortment" and "Namul Assortment" along with beer and grapefruit chu-hai. Finished off with cold noodles and sherbet. A satisfying meal overall!

Visit date and time: 4:30 PM on a weekday Wait time: Visited with a reservation on the same day Menu: A la carte Impression: I made a reservation over the phone and visited the restaurant early in the evening. I ordered the special assorted dish that regular customers eat, but I found the normal menu items to be more delicious. It seems I am not a regular customer after all. I also ordered additional items like loin, harami, and tongue sashimi, which were indeed delicious. Thank you for the meal.
