Located in a hidden alley, this restaurant is known only to those in the know. The first floor has only a counter, while the second floor has two tables for six. Enjoy freshly fried skewers while savoring wine. The courses keep coming until you say stop. It's exciting to wonder what will come next as you enjoy each skewer one by one. The staff will tell you which sauce to use when the dish is served. Whether it's salt and lemon or just as it is, they will guide you to the best experience. The oil used, a blend of two types, leaves no heavy feeling in your stomach. The cabbage in the salad was the only thing that wasn't delicious, but everything else was great.

Every time I passed by the alley, I was curious about this place where you can eat tonkatsu. I finally went to try it out. It was past 1 pm, with one group of customers already there and two more coming in after. The two quiet brothers were running the place. They served promptly and the tonkatsu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious. There was salt and sauce available, but I preferred the salt as it brought out the flavor of the meat nicely. #Izakaya #Kushikatsu #Ohana #KitahamaGourmet #KitahamaLunch

Deep-fried skewers and wine at Ohana in Osaka/Kitahama -menu- □ Deep-fried skewer set meal 6 skewers ¥1,000 ◆ 6 skewers (sausage, nanjing, large shrimp, quail, corn, sweet sea bream with flying fish roe) ◆ Colorful side dish ◆ Rice ◆ Miso soup ◆ Salad I went because I wanted to eat the chicken sashimi bowl that started on August 1st, but unfortunately it was not available that day. So, I ordered the deep-fried skewer set meal instead. I was surprised at how delicious the skewers were!!! Among the shrimp and sea bream, the quail was the most delicious haha. It was different from what I expected and the half-cooked inside was delicious~♡ The cost performance of ¥1,000 for this is amazing. It is located in a narrow alley where several shops are lined up. There is a counter on the first floor and a tatami room on the second floor. I am also interested in going at night.

I used it for lunch on a regular day. It is a restaurant of deep-fried skewers located on Funabashi Hiranocho Koji, about a 3-minute walk from the subway "Kitahama Station". The selling point is the "light and refreshing taste with reduced fat". At the time of posting, there are 2 stores in the city (Kitashinchi & Kitahama). The Kitahama store, which opened in September 2019, is a small store with a total of 24 seats. It was run by 2 male staff members (white cooking uniforms, earth-colored aprons). What I ordered this time was the "Deep-Fried Skewer Set (6 skewers) 1000 yen" listed on the lunch menu. The content and evaluation are as follows. [◎, ◯, △] Deep-fried skewers 6 skewers Enjoy with special medium-thick sauce or salt (blended Himalayan rock salt) Corn butter ◎ Unique texture that is fun to chew goes well with the classic medium-thick sauce made with ketchup Sweet snapper with flying fish roe ◎ A masterpiece using high-quality ingredients!

The clientele is business people. The occupancy rate is about 60%. The female ratio is about 70%. By the way, the Foodlog evaluation score at the time of visit is 3.22. It was a truly excellent restaurant that lived up to its reputation as "creative deep-fried skewers using carefully selected ingredients". Next time, I would like to try the "Special Curry 1000 yen with 4 deep-fried skewers". Thank you for the meal!

The tempura was elegant and the ingredients were well-seasoned. It was delicious even without dipping it in sauce. The staff were warm and attentive. The wine for the all-you-can-drink option was Franzia, while beer was served in bottles. If you plan on drinking wine, it might be better to order a bottle instead of opting for the all-you-can-drink option. The selection and prices of alcohol differ between the Kita-Shinchi and Kitahama branches, so if you prefer a more casual atmosphere and aren't particular about the alcohol, the Kitahama branch might be a better choice.

Enjoy creative deep-fried skewers made with carefully selected ingredients at this skewer restaurant! Located a 4-minute walk from Kitahama Station! They offer lunch during the day and courses at night. They use their own blend of breadcrumbs and frying oil! They serve freshly fried skewers according to the timing of the customers! Ohana Kitahama, Osaka: Lunch options include deep-fried skewers, tonkatsu, and curry. Special Curry Lunch for 1200 yen: Enjoy 4 skewers with beef tendon curry! It's the perfect combination! Salad is also included! The skewers are crispy and have a refined taste!

Located between Kitahama and Hommachi, this stylish and unique kushikatsu restaurant offers items such as "Angel Shrimp" and chicken wrapped in shiso leaves, which are not typically found in kushikatsu restaurants. I enjoyed these dishes along with wine. It was a style that is not often seen in Tokyo, and I was glad to be able to experience Osaka in this way.

Ohana is a restaurant that, as the name suggests, offers wine with their tempura skewers. I really wanted to go there for lunch. My goal was to try the chicken sashimi bowl that they serve for lunch. I love chicken sashimi, so when I saw that they offered it for only ¥600, I had to go. Their last order is at 2:30 pm, which was perfect for me after my usual workout. However, when I arrived and asked for the chicken sashimi bowl, I was told they were sold out. It was a limited quantity item. I was shocked because it wasn't mentioned on the menu page on Tabelog. But when I checked on my way out, it was clearly written on a sign outside. I couldn't leave at that point, so I reluctantly changed my order to a tempura set with 6 skewers. It was unfortunate timing since I was planning to come back the following week specifically for the tempura. I had originally planned to order a set with both the bowl and tempura, so losing the bowl was disappointing. The tempura included yam, white fish, large shrimp, pork sausage, pumpkin, red sea bream, and corn. But this review isn't about the tempura itself (although I particularly liked the corn because it was sweet). The main issue was that tempura and rice don't go well together. Tempura isn't a typical rice accompaniment like tempura or fried foods. And there weren't any other side dishes to balance it out (the menu listed pickles as a side, and miso soup was the only other option). Overall, the meal felt unbalanced. But the biggest problem was that the rice wasn't tasty. It had some discolored parts, and even though it was towards the end of lunchtime, serving rice like that to customers doesn't seem right. Ah, I really wanted to try the chicken sashimi bowl. Although, if the rice was like that, maybe it wouldn't have made a difference in the end? The restaurant is located in a building designed to look like a row of townhouses in Funamachi Hiranocho, with a small floor area that felt a bit cramped. However, when I passed by during dusk on another day, it had a charming atmosphere, so it seems like it might be better to visit at night.

Saan at the end of a small street in Hirano-cho, Kitahama, is a place called "Saan" that feels like the Kitashinchi version of the restaurant. I went for lunch because I thought the atmosphere might be too high at midnight. The lunch menu includes tempura set meals, tonkatsu set meals, beef tendon curry, and a limited quantity of chicken sashimi bowls. The beef tendon curry and chicken sashimi set meals come with tempura, which is a nice touch. I ordered the tempura set with 8 pieces, the special tonkatsu set, and a chicken sashimi bowl with 4 pieces of tempura. The tempura set was a bit tricky to eat with rice, but it was delicious. It included items like long asparagus, large shrimp, quail, nankin, sausage, sweet snapper with tobiko, corn butter, and konjac with roe. The chicken sashimi bowl was very generous in portion size, and the rare chicken was delicious with a nice texture. The 4-piece tempura set included large shrimp, quail, nankin, and sausage. If these were served with the chicken sashimi bowl, it would be amazing. The special tonkatsu set was crispy and delicious. Overall, the food was addicting and I can't wait to go back.

Let's go eat some kushiage ♬ Let's have a stylish set of 8 kushiage sticks ♡ We arrived at the restaurant. The restaurant has a counter seating area on the first floor with about 7 seats. There is also a second floor. I sat at the counter as a solo diner. Looking at the menu, they offer: - Kushiage set meal: 6 sticks for 1,000 yen, 8 sticks for 1,200 yen - Ooyama jidori tataki bowl and 4 kushiage sticks for 1,000 yen - Ooyama jidori bowl for 600 yen - Beef tendon curry for 600 yen - Special curry with 4 kushiage sticks for 1,000 yen - Tonkatsu and karaage set meal for 900 yen - Tonkatsu set meal for 1,200 yen I was interested in the Ooyama jidori tataki and the delicious asparagus fry. I asked the staff if I could have the asparagus fry included in the set for 1,200 yen, which they kindly agreed to. After a while, a staff member asked me if I wanted mayonnaise on the dish. Not understanding fully, I said yes, and the tataki bowl arrived with mayonnaise on top. It was a bit confusing as the mayo mixed with the special soy sauce flavor of the tataki. The rice was served separately in a bowl, and I was asked if I wanted 150g or 200g, I chose 180g, but it turned out a bit dry and not sticky enough for a bowl dish. The tataki was a bit overcooked. Overall, the mayo and rice combination didn't suit my taste, and I ended up leaving one bite uneaten. The kushiage consisted of shrimp, quail, sausage, and pumpkin sticks, which I enjoyed with salt, lemon, and sauce. Maybe I should have opted for the 8-stick set without giving up.

I visited the restaurant during the day on a weekday, alone. Since I arrived right after opening, the restaurant was empty and I was seated promptly. I ordered the Assorted Tempura Set (6 pieces) this time. The tempura included large shrimp, quail, salmon, corn butter, sausage, and pumpkin, which are not ingredients I usually get to enjoy, so I was very satisfied. The staff were very kind and easy to talk to, providing detailed explanations and even showing concern for coming in the rain. I had been curious about this place after seeing it on Instagram, so I made the trip to Osaka, and it was definitely the right choice.

The sea bream skewers are amazing! They are so delicious! The asparagus served at the beginning is also top-notch, not like cheap asparagus. And there's corn and shrimp too. The freshly fried skewers, with such high-quality ingredients, make me very happy. The price of 1200 yen for lunch is reasonable considering the quality. However, the salad and rice are disappointing, especially the rice. It would be much better if they used a better rice cooker. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere of the restaurant is nice, so overall it's a good place. In the end, I think this is a restaurant where you should come at night to enjoy skewers and wine.

You can enjoy freshly fried items on the spot, the restaurant has a stylish atmosphere, and the lunch prices are reasonable so I recommend it! I want to eat the asparagus bacon dish, but ordering it alone is expensive, and the menu with many skewers has a large portion size, so I wish they would include it in the 6-piece menu.

There is a small restaurant in Funamachi Hiranocho Kojiro that has counter seats on the first floor and table seats on the second floor. As the name suggests, it is a skewer restaurant that focuses on quality ingredients and has a stylish atmosphere, different from typical skewer katsu restaurants. They offer a variety of skewer katsu dishes as well as a selection of wines. You can enjoy their dishes a la carte or in a course menu. Recently, they have lowered their prices, making it more affordable. For lunch, they offer a skewer katsu set for 1000 yen, which includes 4 skewers (shrimp, eggplant, sausage, quail) and beef tendon curry, pickles, salad, and miso soup. The skewers are crispy and delicious, and the upscale interior makes the price reasonable. This special price is for a limited time, but it is a great way to attract customers for lunch. The restaurant is also located in Kitahama, and is run by a young chef.

Located in a small alley in Funamachi Hiranocho, just south of Kitahama Station, this restaurant fits in well with the historical Kitahama and Honmachi area. The interior is stylish, maintaining the atmosphere of the alley. The lunch menu offers a combination of deep-fried skewers, tonkatsu, and curry. I chose the Special Curry Lunch for 1200 yen, which includes beef tendon curry and 4 deep-fried skewers. The deep-fried skewers are elegant and delicious, with the large shrimp being just the right size and crispy. The quail is also light and tasty. The curry is rich in flavor, especially from the beef tendon, almost too rich. When paired with the skewers, it may seem a bit heavy, but it is still delicious. As the name suggests, this is a skewer and wine restaurant, so it's probably best enjoyed in the evening with courses starting from 4000 yen.

Kita-Hama ◇ Kushiage set meal ◇ [2-cho, Hirano-cho, Chuo-ku] A new store called "Kushiage and Wine Ohana Kitahama Store" opened on the 4th corner of Funaba Hirano-koji, west of the Sakai-suji Hirano-cho 1 intersection. About 5 shops line up north and south on Hirano-koji, and there are several shop turnovers. As the name suggests, the new store opened on September 4th offers lunch (11:30 am to 3:00 pm) ◆ Kushiage set meal (1200 yen) ◆ Tonkatsu set meal (1200 yen) ◆ Special curry (1200 yen) ◆ Beef tendon curry (800 yen) ◆ One-bite fillet cutlet curry (1000 yen) Entered at 11:30 am, no previous customers (a shop where even a woman can easily enter) "I'll have the Kushiage set meal, please." Salad, rice, and miso soup were served in about 7 minutes, and 6 kushiage skewers (green asparagus, sausage, yam and chicken wrapped in seaweed, large shrimp, quail egg, sweet sea bream and flying fish roe) were served in about 10 minutes. The kushiage was crispy and delicious, and the rice didn't suit my taste. Maybe it's better to enjoy it with drinks at night... Thank you for the meal. ============================= To know, know, know him is to love, love, love him Just to see him smile, makes my life worthwhile To know, know, know him is to love, love, love him And I do I fell in love with him when I first met him His smile makes my life meaningful I fell in love at first sight when I met him (The Teddy Bears/1959)

The entrance of the restaurant was charming, with cobblestone flooring. The first floor had counter seats, while the second floor had sunken kotatsu-style tables. It was conveniently located near the nearest station. There were many types of kushiage available, and the angel prawn and simmered daikon were particularly delicious.

Great taste, great service. The vegetable sticks that come out at the start are fresh and delicious. The following skewers and palate cleansers are all left to the chef's choice and never disappoint. The wine is also delicious, making this stylish and cozy hidden gem of a skewer restaurant. I've been coming here for over 5 years now. Recently, some friends from America visited, and I thought one of Osaka's famous dishes is skewers, so I took them here. I usually prefer sitting at the counter, but since there were four of us, I made a reservation for the tatami room on the second floor for the first time, and they were very pleased. Thank you for always providing excellent service.

I requested the 9-course meal with a commemorative plate. The exterior and interior were stylish and luxurious, with a pleasant atmosphere that wasn't too formal. There were two staff members, both of whom were polite and had lovely smiles. I would like to come back again!

A combination of chicken sashimi bowl and skewered cutlets that makes you want to eat it again and again!
