[Nakajimaya] It had been a while since I came to Tsuruhashi, and I thought I had to go there! But when I arrived, the store had been renovated and it looked really beautiful (*´꒳`*) "Otoro Tekka" for 980 yen, I really wanted to try this! To have this much otoro for less than a thousand yen is price destruction at its best (lol) Even just the tekka roll at the bottom is delicious enough, but when you eat it with otoro on top, it's so delicious that I couldn't help but say "Delicious!" with every bite ( ﾟДﾟ)ｳﾏｰ "Assorted Sashimi 3 kinds" for 980 yen, sea bream, salmon, and yellowtail. Oh man, this is amazing too! The slices are thickly cut but still have a distinct taste. And they are aged well, so the flesh is tender and incredibly delicious ( ﾟДﾟ)ｳﾏｰ Especially the yellowtail belly was dangerously delicious (*´艸`) "Duck Breast" for 500 yen, when I see duck on the menu, I can't resist ordering it (lol) It's a breast, so it's moist but also light, allowing you to savor the delicious duck flavor (*´Д`*) "One Coin Set" for 500 yen, one drink and one dish. I chose grilled fish scraps, and it's a huge portion (lol) I enjoyed various fish scraps while thinking that this place is perfect for sake from the start (*´Д`*) It seems that they renovated about 3 years ago to start serving Otoro Tekka (*´꒳`*) They have an insane number of menu items, so I'll have to go back again soon (-ω☆)ｷﾗﾘ

Today's report is about my visit to Kuishinbo, a famous restaurant in Tsuruhashi for the night session. The place I visited for the first time is the renowned izakaya called "Nakajimaya." Their specialty, the seared bonito roll, was truly impressive. The bonito is piled on top of the seared roll, with fatty tuna generously added on top. The bonito tasting, from lean to fatty, was all delicious. The red snapper simmered in broth was filled with plenty of meat attached to the bones. Not only that, but even the head bones were packed with meat. The fried bonito was also delicious. For those who enjoy alcohol, the portion size might be a bit much as a side dish. But for seafood lovers, this izakaya is a delight. Today, I am grateful for my healthy body.

It's a rude restaurant where the staff goes somewhere without permission in the middle of taking an order. Dishes keep coming out from the counter one after another, so I understand the desire to bring them out, and I understand that they are busy, but I want them to listen to the order properly. The food is reasonably delicious. I recommend the thick-cut tuna. It's also nice that it's non-smoking.

I visited this place for the first time. I made a reservation for around 4 pm on a weekday, but it was almost full. Reservation is a must. From the outside sign, it looks like a traditional old izakaya, which may seem intimidating at first, but the interior was very clean and modern. The seafood, especially the tuna, is recommended, but the oden, grilled dishes, and fried foods were all delicious. Almost everyone was ordering the Otoro Tekka. The drinks are cheap and good quality! I want to go again!

I wanted to have a daytime drinking session, so I finally went to Nakajimaya, a place I had my eye on. I arrived around 12:30 and started with a bottle of Sorachi draft beer, followed by the usual dishes plus a platter of 5 appetizers. After that, I had a bottle of Ebisu beer, a sudachi chu-hi, and finished with a cold bottle of Shinomine sake. The food and drinks were well-made, and I ended up getting pretty drunk in the middle of the day. The bill came out to 4,790 yen. Thank you for the meal.

In front of Tsuruhashi Station, there is a izakaya that opens at 12:00 pm. I took the afternoon off on a weekday and went for some daytime drinking. The atmosphere inside the restaurant had a nostalgic Showa era feel, very calming. When I arrived around 2:00 pm, the place was bustling with local seniors. The neighboring senior has been coming here from a neighboring town every week for decades, loved by the locals for its cheap and delicious food. I ordered the following: - Otoro Tekka Maki - Tuna simmered dish - Thick fried tofu - Potato fries I started with a draft beer to quench my thirst. I was happy to see they had Solarchi here. The specialty Otoro Tekka Maki consisted of a tekka maki with lean tuna at the bottom, topped with plenty of tuna toro. I enjoyed the toro with my drink first, then the lean tuna, and finally placed the toro on the tekka maki to enjoy a medium fatty tuna flavor three ways. The senior next to me treated me to a bottle of shochu that he keeps, so I added some potato fries as a gift in return. This place still has a nostalgic Showa era warmth and hospitality. #Osaka cuisine #Tsuruhashi cuisine #Tsuruhashi Station #drinking tagram #drinking log #Wakako sake #Osaka sightseeing #Osaka trip #Wakako sake Osaka #Osaka date #Business trip meal #Tsuruhashi izakaya #Tsuruhashi #Tsuruhashi lunch #Osaka daytime drinking #japan #japanesefood #foodstagram #instafood #osaka

Located right near JR/Tsuruhashi subway station, in front of the arcade of Tsuruhashi shopping street. They specialize in seafood, especially tuna dishes. When two of us visited at night, we were seated at the counter. The restaurant was crowded and bustling. We ordered draft beer, shochu (black Kirishima), edamame (¥380), tuna sukiyaki (¥430), water eggplant (¥580), sea bream skin (¥480), dried squid tempura (¥480), and roasted pork (¥500). Water eggplant and dried squid tempura are Osaka specialties. Sea bream skin is a unique dish where the skin is boiled in broth. The cost performance is good. The simmered dishes also looked delicious. I would like to visit again if I have the chance. We enjoyed the meal very much.

When I first visited, the restaurant was full so I went to another place and came back later. I went for the tuna, but all the other fish were also fresh and delicious. It's no wonder they're always full. While Tsuruhashi is famous for yakiniku, there are also many great tuna restaurants, and this one is definitely among them.

Tsuruhashi's popular izakaya "Nakajimaya" that Myrebi-san and others often go to, so I've always wanted to visit. This time, I visited for a daytime drinking session in March. About the restaurant: Located just a short walk from Tsuruhashi Station (JR, subway, Kintetsu) along the main road "Sennichimae Street," the restaurant has a typical izakaya atmosphere. The seating consists of an L-shaped counter facing the kitchen with 8 seats, 2 two-person table seats, and 1 four-person table seat. There is also seating on the 2nd floor, but I did not go up, so details are unknown. About the dishes I ate: Started with a refreshing glass of draft beer. Then, I ordered some dishes to go with the alcohol. Here's what I ate that day: - Potato Salad: Creamy mashed potatoes with ham, egg, carrot, and onion, generously mixed with mayo. The crunchy texture of the onion adds a nice touch. - Doteyaki: A classic izakaya dish from Osaka, featuring tender simmered beef tendons in a white miso-based sauce. - Otoro Tekka: Their signature dish, with a mountain of fatty tuna on top of a rolled sushi. The tuna was rich and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Overall, the dishes were satisfying, and the bill for a glass of draft beer, a cup of Harushika Ultra Dry sake, and the food came to 3110 yen, which I found reasonable. I wanted to try more dishes, but the portion sizes were quite generous, so it might be better to share with someone next time. After this, I thought of visiting another place in Tsuruhashi for a second round of drinks. Cheers!

One of the popular restaurants in Tsuruhashi, Nakajimaya! It had been 3-4 years since my last visit due to their closed days and full reservations. I heard they have come up with an amazing specialty menu - the Otoro Tekka Maki. It is a roll with a mountain of fatty tuna on top, priced at 1,000 yen. The indulgent feeling of eating so much tuna for that price is worth it! The roll itself is made with regular lean tuna, but I only ate the top fatty tuna part as I don't like lean tuna. The grilled fish collar, I believe it was yellowtail collar, was large and satisfying. The Oden with beef tendon was thick and delicious, and the octopus was tender. There were also fresh sea bream sashimi displayed on the counter, but at 980 yen, it seemed a bit pricey. The variety of the menu is extensive, and it's a great place to drink even during the day. It was bustling with drinkers even in the middle of a weekday. Afterward, we went to a second place in search of stingray liver! Cash only! Non-smoking.

I arrived at Tsuruhashi Station after squeezing out the sweat at a super sento in Suita around 3 pm. I entered this restaurant that I had been wanting to visit for a while. Despite it being a weekday (Friday), it was already full. I managed to get in during a turnover. The atmosphere was lively. The interior was bright and clean, completely renovated. Interestingly, all the staff were women. As I looked at the menu, a staff member told me that from 12:00 to 16:00, there was a special deal for a "one-coin set." Being a first-timer, I followed the staff member's recommendation and ordered the "kama yaki" one-coin set. When it arrived, I was surprised by the generous portion of kama yaki. It was a great deal for just one person. It was a good start. I visited the restaurant on November 2, 2022, after finishing work early around 2 pm. I was guided to a table for one and seated. Without any mention of the one-coin set offer, the staff member left after seating me. Feeling embarrassed to mention the one-coin set, I simply ordered a "draft beer, Asahi." Looking around, I noticed a notice at the entrance about the end of the one-coin set offer, price increase, and revised closing days. It was quite a shock.

This is a izakaya located very close to Tsuruhashi Station on JR, Kintetsu, and Osaka Metro lines. The exterior is eye-catching with a neon sign for the sake "Shunroku" and "Sake no Nakajima". Inside, the izakaya is quite clean with an L-shaped counter, table seats, and a second-floor seating area. During my visit, all the staff were women. We started with a toast with draft beer, which had a good selection of brands and a variety of drink options. The food menu is also extensive, with a focus on tuna dishes. The tuna sashimi was fresh, thickly cut, light, and delicious. The potato salad had a lot of eggs and a smooth, homemade feel. The "dote-yaki" was slightly sweet but well-cooked in miso, with tender meat that was easy to eat. Personally, I really liked the taste. The "chikuwa isobe age" was a classic dish that was surprisingly delicious. Each dish was familiar but well-prepared and tasty. It was a good restaurant, especially for an izakaya, and the non-smoking environment made it very comfortable. I would definitely like to visit this restaurant again.

I heard that the tuna at Nakajimaya is amazing, so I went there. The tekka maki topped with big pieces of oily tuna was so satisfying! Personally, I also loved the fatty tuna. The oden was also great. I am truly satisfied and will definitely go back!

I entered the store but was not noticed for a few seconds and left standing there. Although there were available seats, I had to wait at the entrance for confirmation. It was strange to have to confirm when there were empty seats available. I was seated at the counter and informed that there was a two-hour time limit. The atmosphere was welcoming for solo diners. There seemed to be seating on the second floor as well, which was bustling. There was a woman who seemed to be the manager, who appeared efficient and organized. I asked about the daily specials but the server taking my order seemed unsure, so she had to confirm with the manager. The response was vague, so I decided not to order based on that. I ordered the specialty dish, the "Oitori Tekkamaki" and the tuna sashimi. They were delicious and of high quality, especially considering the reasonable price of 380 yen for the sashimi. The restaurant was completely non-smoking, although some customers went outside to smoke. I did not see any ashtrays. The other menu items also looked appetizing. I would like to visit again, although the service system was a bit mysterious.

When it comes to Tsuruhashi, Nakajimaya is the place to go for a drink. Visited without having much knowledge about it, but it turned out to be a great choice! We went in the early evening so we didn't have to wait in line. The ootoro teppanyaki and tsutayaki were delicious. This place is a great oasis for drinking, with dishes like shirako and fresh oysters with ponzu sauce.

Tsuruhashi "Nakajimaya" On this day, I went on a Tsuruhashi bar hopping, which is my current favorite activity. I've been mainly eating okonomiyaki and Korean ingredients, but I felt like trying something different for a change. If you walk along Sennichimae Street from Tsuruhashi Station, you'll find "Nakajimaya" right away. It has a retro sign with a neon light, which is eye-catching due to the contrast. The atmosphere seems relatively new, but details are unclear. The place was bustling with drinkers from daytime on the inside. The first floor was full, so I almost gave up, but luckily the second floor had some seats available. I took a breather in a sunken kotatsu seat. Otoro Tekka Roll for 980 yen Looking at Instagram, it seems like almost everyone orders this Otoro Tekka Roll! As the name suggests, it's a Tekka roll topped with otoro (fatty tuna)! It's amazing. And it's a great deal for under 1000 yen. Tarako Shirako Oden for 680 yen A rare Shirako (cod milt) oden. It was a cold day, so my body was happy to have it. The creamy Shirako with a slightly sweet broth was gentle on the palate. Hirame Engawa Sashimi for 480 yen A nice accompaniment for drinks. The crunchy Engawa (fluke fin) is the type I like to eat with salt and wasabi. Since it's a bar hopping night, I'll stop here. Satisfied, satisfied.

Hello! This is Shunmama (*´-`) On Saturday, December 11th, we had to replace our air conditioner at home in Imazato due to a sudden malfunction. We asked a nearby electronics store for help, and then moved to Tsuruhashi to meet up with my husband. We were hungry, so we decided to have lunch and drinks at Nakajimaya. It was our second visit to this popular izakaya known for its great cost performance. Here's what we ordered: - Otoro Tekka (fatty tuna) sashimi...980 yen - Potato salad...380 yen - Salt-grilled chicken wings...380 yen - Kasujiru (sake lees soup)...480 yen - Fried sardines...380 yen - Oyster vinegar...580 yen This restaurant opens at 12 PM and offers delicious dishes at reasonable prices, which is why it's always crowded. Everything we had that day was delicious, but the kasujiru stood out with its rich and flavorful taste. We ended up staying for 2 hours and enjoyed plenty of drinks. Thank you for the meal~♪♪ #Nakajimaya #Tsuruhashi dining #Tsuruhashi gourmet #Otoro Tekka #potato salad #salt-grilled chicken wings #kasujiru #sake lees soup #fried sardines #oyster vinegar #delicious #reasonable prices #crowded #2-hour limit

I discovered this restaurant on Instagram and decided to visit it in Tsuruhashi. I went there around 2:00 PM and was greeted by lively female staff. They were grilling a large plate of fish collars at the counter. I ordered a great value set which included beer and assorted oden. I also tried the seared tuna and fried oysters. The oden had a clear and delicious broth, and the daikon radish had a strong flavor. The beef tendon was surprisingly tender... because it was actually tuna! It was meaty and tasty, not fishy at all. The seared tuna was delicious and the fried oysters were great with homemade tartar sauce. The bill came out to around 2300 yen. On my way to the restroom, I saw the staff preparing a large amount of daikon for the oden. The oden here was elegant and delicious. I recommend this place for solo diners as you can enjoy a casual drink at the counter. Thank you for the meal.

It's about a distance of one traffic light from Tsuruhashi. I was a bit nervous as a woman visiting 'Nakajimaya' for the first time, as the store has a Showa era feel to it. But it's worth a try because the food is delicious and affordable! I might make it my regular spot for evening drinks in the future (laughs). I ordered the Otoro Tekkamaki, two servings for 980 yen. Doesn't it look amazing? It's consistently delicious and a must-try item. The Kaki Su for 580 yen comes with 5 pieces, a great deal for Tsuruhashi prices! It was delicious too! The Oden variety ranges from 120 to 220 yen, and the broth is surprisingly tasty. The sweetness might not be for everyone, but I liked it! The weekday special one-coin menu for 500 yen each was also satisfying. Overall, our bill for three people, with drinks and food, was just under 5,000 yen. Great value for Osaka! If you're not averse to tuna, give it a try. Thank you for the meal! I'll visit again.

Nakajimaya! I was planning to go to a shop in Tsuruhashi, but it was closed so I gave up! So, I went to eat Toro Tekka that I was curious about! As I love alcohol, I ordered my favorite Galichu! And guess what? More than half of it was Galichu! (laughs) A great Galichu service worth the price! First, I snacked on Wasabi Tsubugai while drinking! The Wasabi was strong and crunchy, very tasty! And then, Doteyaki! The combination of this white miso and Ichimi pepper is outstanding! The Kama Yaki of Kampachi was not just the collar, but surprisingly it came with the head! (laughs) It was also delicious with great freshness! And Toro Tekka! Toro was added on top of Tekka Maki, a delightful dish! The Toro was fatty and melt-in-your-mouth! Thank you for the meal!

As soon as it opened at 12:00, this popular izakaya in Tsuruhashi filled up quickly, giving off a nostalgic Showa era vibe. They offer a variety of delicious and affordable tuna dishes such as deep-fried tuna, tuna croquettes, and tuna carpaccio. I didn't hesitate to order the "Otoro Tekka" (980 yen) that I had been wanting to try. It featured fatty tuna chunks on top of a tuna roll, and it was absolutely delicious. The combination of sashimi and tuna roll in one dish was amazing, and it completely changed my view of tuna rolls. They also have a great value one-coin menu where you can get a drink and a dish for a good price.
