On the evening of August 21, 2020 (Friday), I visited Satori-san in Namba for the first time after making a reservation in advance. This restaurant is run by a family, and one of them is an acquaintance of my companion, whom I met after a long time. We started with a highball toast and quickly moved on to sake. The appetizers included a platter of jun-sai, sliced konjac with sashimi, and squid mentaiko, which went well with the drinks. We ordered the "Kyoto Red Chicken Breast Tataki" as our first dish. The tataki is seared right in front of the customers after ordering, allowing us to enjoy the fresh chicken without any unpleasant smell, savoring its rich taste. This dish paired perfectly with the sake, starting with "Shinsei No.6" and moving on to "Takanaga Bodai Junmai Nama". Takanaga has a strong sweetness and rich flavor, making it a great match for the chicken dish. Next, we had the "Ranou Tamagoyaki with Dashi", a flavorful rolled omelette with a strong dashi taste made using Ranou brand eggs. We also ordered yakitori skewers of tsukune, furi-sode, and tamahimo. The tsukune was juicy, furi-sode had a refreshing texture, and tamahimo, made from the egg tube and ovary, had a rich and intense flavor that spread in the mouth. We added "NEXT5 2018" and "Nabeshima Special Junmai" to our sake selection. The NEXT5 sake is a collaboration between five different breweries and offers a well-balanced taste with a refreshing yet flavorful profile. We were then served "Oyaji's Nikujaga" as a complimentary dish, which was a unique version of nikujaga with mashed potato-like smoothness and meat inside. It was an interesting and recommended dish. For the final dishes, we ordered "Iburi Gakko" and "Ranou Tamago Kake Gohan". The egg kake gohan featured Ranou brand eggs with a rich yolk flavor, topped with dashi. It was a perfect way to end the meal. Lastly, we had the "Ranou Tamago Cream Pudding", a delicious pudding made with Ranou brand eggs that had a rich and creamy texture. It was a delightful treat, and it seems like it could be a successful souvenir item if sold. The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious, and the selection of sake and shochu was impressive. I highly recommend this place and would love to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the wonderful meal.
