March 30, 2020 15:15 - Garlic Zero Ginger Gyoza: ¥242 - Octopus Karaage: ¥220 - Bottled Beer: ¥528 I got off at Senbayashi Station for the first time. Before I could find a convenience store to buy canned beer, I came across "Gyoza no Ohsho". I was intrigued by their original "Senbayashi Store appetizer menu" displayed on a stand. From that menu, I ordered the "Octopus Karaage". It was served in a small dish with lemon, lettuce, and parsley garnish, and it exceeded my expectations given the price. Similar to the "Chicken Karaage", I enjoyed the flavorful coating on the karaage at Gyoza no Ohsho. The "Garlic Zero Ginger Gyoza" that I requested to be well-cooked was indeed well-done with a nicely browned surface. The bottled beer was a large bottle of Asahi Super Dry. It may be the same at any Gyoza no Ohsho, but I noticed a high rate of daytime drinking among the customers, which may be influenced by the "Senbayashi Store appetizer menu". Personally, I was able to enjoy my drink without overeating thanks to this atmosphere.

Located on the way from Keihan Senbayashi to the supermarket Tamade, this restaurant is quite spacious compared to other similar establishments. It has more 4-person tables than counter seats, making it easy for families or groups to dine together. The interior is clean and bright, with a variety of menu options including small dishes and half-sized portions. They also offer appetizers like edamame for those looking to enjoy a drink. I ordered the liver and leek stir-fry and the mixed vegetable stir-fry, but felt that the portions were a bit small. However, the Tianjin noodles priced at 520 yen had a satisfying amount of food. Many customers were seen getting takeout, but dining in was also a pleasant experience. Overall, it was a good meal.

I wanted to try the super spicy garlic dumplings. It's a menu that's hard to order unless it's a holiday, for sure, it's packed with garlic. Regular dumplings also have a good amount of garlic, so I need to try both together to understand the difference better. I've had regular dumplings many times, but when it comes down to it, I don't remember the details, just that they were delicious. I also like dumplings without garlic, crispy spring rolls, sweet and sour shrimp, and shumai were delicious too. It was a casual and popular Chinese meal. Thank you for the feast!

Until now, I didn't really pay attention, but it seems that Gyoza no Ohsho's summer limited menu, the super spicy series, is unexpectedly spicy. I ordered only the Super Spicy Chicken for 550 yen (tax included)! I glanced at the menu, but that was the only thing I wanted to eat, so I ordered it with a slight sense of embarrassment. Of course, the drink was ice water (complimentary service). As for the level of spiciness, it's about a 5-6 on the Coco Ichibanya scale. It's not super spicy! Well, it's not soup, so it's not that spicy. It's covered with a lot of super spicy powder on the meat. So, there is some damage to the body. While eating, and just after finishing, in terms of taste, it's similar to something... like Karumuchu. I was able to check the level of spiciness and I am satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

I went to a nearby supermarket and it was still open. I thought Gyoza no Ohsho would be closed for last order. So, I went to Gyoza no Ohsho and ordered two servings of gyoza and a draft beer. I didn't feel like having carbs (noodles, rice dishes, set meals). I was thinking of having a protein-based meal. I ordered the Sauteed Meat and Eggs dish. I've seen it on recipe websites like Cookpad. It's a dish called "Moo Shu Pork" which seems to be a representative dish from the Shandong region of China. I haven't tried it at Gyoza no Ohsho before. It's also listed as a popular menu item. I ordered it and it was really delicious! The pork is stir-fried with potato starch. It also includes wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and chives wrapped in fluffy egg. For dessert, I had almond jelly. I have a feeling that the Sauteed Meat and Eggs dish will become one of my favorite dishes in the future. Thank you for the meal.

Located about a 3-minute walk from Keihan Senbayashi Station, this restaurant is easy to find with the large sign of the supermarket Tamade as a landmark. Upon entering, there are counter seats on the left and tables on the right. There is also a second-floor seating area, but this time I chose to sit on the first floor. I ordered a highball, gyoza, stir-fried leeks and liver, and shrimp tempura. The highball was made with Nikka whiskey, and it was served strong, which I personally like. The air conditioning was blasting, probably due to the recent hot weather. The dishes arrived, and despite the chill, I enjoyed them all. I would like to visit this locally loved restaurant again. Thank you for the meal!

I visited Gyoza no Ohsho Senbayashi store. It was my first visit in a while. It is located in Suita City, Osaka Prefecture, with the nearest station being Keihan Senbayashi Station. I ordered the October limited edition Motsu Nikomi Tonkotsu Ramen Fair Set B. The Fair Set B comes with Motsu Nikomi Tonkotsu Ramen, 3 gyoza, and a small rice. Gyoza no Ohsho has been offering a special menu "Motsu Nikomi Tonkotsu Ramen" to celebrate its 50th anniversary starting from October 1, 2018. It is a ramen topped with plenty of vegetables and domestically sourced pork intestines in a flavorful tonkotsu broth. The soup is a blend of pork bone and soy sauce, rich and creamy yet easy to drink with a mild flavor. The noodles are thin straight noodles made from Hokkaido wheat, giving a glossy and chewy texture. The ingredients include domestic pork intestines, leeks, cabbage, bean sprouts, pickled mustard greens, red pickled ginger, and sesame seeds. The domestic pork intestines are lightly seasoned, tender, and have a good texture without any strong odor. The generous amount of vegetables provides a nice crunch, and the pickled mustard greens and red pickled ginger served on top are a perfect addition. Sprinkling plenty of pepper enhances the flavor. The combination of 3 gyoza and rice is also good, and all of this for 880 yen is quite affordable. I don't usually go to Ohsho for ramen, but as a fan of light tonkotsu and motsu, I couldn't resist trying this motsu and vegetable-filled tonkotsu ramen, which had a gentle and comforting taste.

This restaurant is well-known as a branch of Kyoto Ohsho. I decided to try their cold noodles, adding a little twist to my dining experience. The restaurant was quite spacious, but the counter area was rather small, with only seating for about 6 people, which is quite unusual. I ordered the Hiyashi Chuka for 734 yen. The presentation was nice, and the container was impressive. The sauce was mild in acidity and had a strong sweetness, with a refreshing aftertaste. The noodles were special and had a nice texture, complementing the sauce well. The topping of imitation crab sticks was unique and added a nice flavor to the dish. The roast pork was flavorful and added a good amount of volume to the dish. Overall, I enjoyed the Hiyashi Chuka at Gyoza no Ohsho Senrin-ten, and compared to the cold noodles at Osaka Ohsho, I found this one to be more delicious. The difference in appearance between the two dishes was quite noticeable. Although I did not compare it to the "Gomoku Hiyashi Chuka" featured on Osaka Ohsho's official website, I personally preferred the version at Gyoza no Ohsho Senrin-ten. After enjoying my meal, I experienced some cucumber burps, which was a bit unpleasant. I also visited Chanmio Special later on, but I won't go into details about that. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience, and I look forward to trying more dishes in the future.

This day was Tuesday and I knew that the Senbayashi shopping street was closed, but I wondered if there was anywhere open. As I walked around, all of my favorite and wanted to try shops were closed. On my way back home, I happened to pass by a sign for Gyoza no Ohsho and it caught my eye. Five-ingredient anka? It was quite cold, so I decided to eat there and head back. I ordered the Five-Ingredient Anka Ramen which had pork belly, shrimp, quail egg, shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, napa cabbage, onions, carrots, wood ear mushrooms, and green onions. What does "five-ingredient" mean? Does it mean there are a lot of ingredients like eight? That's great! I love that kind of thing! The base was a Chinese-style anka, which I really love. I'm personally very happy that it's not a soy sauce base like ramen or tenshinhan. The anka was not on the soup, but directly on the noodles, which was great. Eating anka on a cold day is the best treat. The gyoza was nicely grilled without needing to ask for it to be well-cooked, so it had a nice crispy texture. I like this kind of crispy texture, so I had a good impression. Unfortunately, the only downside is that the closest store in Moriguchi does not have it. A bottle of beer was a Super Dry. Ordering two servings of gyoza and a bottle of beer made it over 1000 yen, which is a bit expensive. I finished everything and left the restaurant. Wow, it was delicious. My body and mind feel warm. Thank you for the meal.

There is both dining in and takeout available at the store. The fried rice tastes strong if it's good, but weak if it's not. The packaging for takeout items is very careful. I once dropped my bike basket while drunk, but the fried rice, Tianjin rice, dumplings, and stir-fried vegetables didn't spill at all, not even a drop of soup leaked out!!
