There is no standing drink, it's called a stand but there are seats. The owner is handsome, kind, and funny, age unknown. The food is Kyushu's local cuisine for 500 yen each. There are many dishes, including homemade taru-taru, simmered parent chicken, and more. The alcohol goes down smoothly.

This day was a holiday, and in the evening, I took a leisurely stroll around Tenma area. As I walked towards Nakazaki-cho from Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street, I passed by a place that had caught my interest before, called "Stand Sho." Checking the menu displayed outside, it seemed like a place where you could enjoy Kyushu cuisine. Upon peeking inside, I found that it was not a standing bar but a seated restaurant, with a few empty seats at the counter, so I decided to go in. The interior was more spacious than I had expected, with a capacity of about 20 people at the counter and tables. It was past 6 pm, and there were about 8 customers, so I took a seat at the counter on the right end. The staff consisted of the chef and a waiter, who resembled EXILE's Sekiguchi Mendy (laughs). Looking at the menu, there were around 20 Japanese-style appetizers and about 20 Kyushu dishes listed for the day. The prices were all 500 yen for the daily menu, which was quite reasonable. The Kyushu dishes ranged from 500 yen to 950 yen, also quite affordable. There was a variety of drinks available, all reasonably priced, with several recommended shochu options. This time, I ordered four Kyushu dishes and a lemon chu-hi. - Lemon Chu-hi 430 yen (2 for 860 yen) - Appetizer Platter with 3 items 350 yen (Simmered pumpkin, Daikon and spinach salad, Tamagoyaki) - Assorted Sashimi with 2 types of fresh fish 500 yen (Yellowtail, Yokowa) - Chicken Tataki 500 yen - Homemade Satsuma-age (deep-fried fish cake) 600 yen - Mustard-flavored lotus root 850 yen First, the appetizer platter with 3 items arrived as a starter. They were all simple but had a refined and delicious taste. The assorted sashimi with two types of fresh fish, Yellowtail and Yokowa, were both fatty and melted in the mouth, very delicious for the price of 500 yen. The Chicken Tataki was made with a large piece of breast meat, grilled crispy on the outside and tender inside, bursting with flavor. It was better quality than expected and very tasty. Next, I tried the homemade Satsuma-age, a Kagoshima specialty. It was freshly fried and served hot, juicy, flavorful, and delicious. Lastly, I had the Kumamoto specialty, mustard-flavored lotus root, which was spicier than expected, making me shed a tear but still enjoyable (laughs). The total cost for two lemon chu-hi, the dishes mentioned above, was 3,660 yen. All the dishes I tried were of good quality, especially the Kyushu dishes like the Satsuma-age and mustard-flavored lotus root were delicious. This restaurant is located a bit towards Tenjinbashi-suji from Tenjin area, offering reasonably priced Kyushu cuisine in a casual setting. I would like to visit again in the future! Thank you for the meal!

This is my second time at this restaurant☺️ Located in the Tenjin Nakazaki Shotengai shopping street! There are counter seats and table seats towards the back! You can enjoy Kyushu cuisine and obanzai dishes here~! One of the attractions here is the happy hour until 7 pm, where you can drink Ebisu beer for 350 yen. There aren't many places around here that offer happy hour, so it's a lifesaver. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is calm and you can enjoy a leisurely drink✔︎ - Chicken tataki 500 yen - Chicken Nanban 500 yen The basic menu items have different prices, but the daily recommended menu items are all 500 yen each!! And the portion sizes are quite generous, so if you're drinking alone, you'll be full! The tataki is firm and comes with plenty of condiments, making it delicious! Both the tataki and Chicken Nanban go really well with beer☺️ There are also 3 types of appetizers, making it a luxurious experience✨ I had a great happy hour experience here‍♀️ They always served me beer in a chilled glass, which made me happy. Thank you for the delicious meal☺️

Location is Temma. It was a day where I could drink and relax with friends after a long time. We tried to go to two other places, but they were both full, so we ended up at "Stand Sho" restaurant. The restaurant was run by two men. The place was about half full. We started with drinks. They had a happy hour deal, so beer was only 350 yen! We decided to just have a casual drink. They had a lot of food options, with many dishes priced at 450 yen, which seemed like a good deal. We ordered the mustard lotus root, which was a unique dish and quite tasty. The other dishes were also delicious, especially the simmered duck dish. The portions were generous and we were satisfied. The bill for five drinks for two people came to 5,100 yen. It was a great deal, especially considering the happy hour prices. The restaurant had a good variety of dishes and the food was tasty and reasonably priced. Despite planning to go to a second place, we ended up feeling full and satisfied at this restaurant. The name says "Stand," but there were seats available.

In September 2019, I was taken to "Stand Sho" in Tenjin-Nakazaki Shotengai by a friend. It is an izakaya where you can enjoy specialties from various regions in Kyushu. I sat at the counter and ordered the following: - Dewar's highball - Tomato chu-hai - Nameko mushroom stew - Gyoro-ke (fried fish cake) The menu also included other Kyushu specialties such as spicy herring roe, dried squid, braised pork belly, grilled dried fish, Ryukyu dish, and horse sashimi. The tomato chu-hai had a generous amount of tomatoes and a slightly salty taste, which was very delicious. I might end up coming back for this again. The Gyoro-ke from Oita had a firm texture inside and was a perfect match for alcohol. The nameko mushroom stew, which is one of my favorite dishes, was also delicious. Thank you for the meal!

It's very delicious. The chef is also wonderful! The Goya Champuru is tastier than in Okinawa!

This is my second visit to this restaurant. I ordered the Tataki and smoked platter from the elderly chicken. The elderly chicken has a firmer texture than the parent bird. It is difficult to evaluate the restaurant based on just two dishes, so I will try again next time.

I casually stopped by this shop. I ate a lot, but everything was delicious! I want to come back soon.╰(*´︶`*)╯

It was late at night but the place was crowded. There was a menu for 360 yen.

I ate at a izakaya where you can enjoy local dishes from Kyushu such as simmered pork belly, tuna cutlet, and salad, and everything that came out was delicious. ^ ^

Record =========== The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Goya Champuru, delicious!

A few minutes' walk from Tenjinbashi Rokuchome Station. Located within the Ten-go Nakazaki Shotengai shopping street. The fact that you can drink Ebisu for 300 yen from 5:30 pm to 7 pm was a deciding factor, so I ordered the Ebisu beer. Also ordered the deep-fried conger eel and chicken tataki. Let's dig in! The appetizer was a nice touch. The deep-fried conger eel was hot and delicious. It goes really well with the plum paste. The chicken tataki was cooked perfectly, so it's reassuring in the summer. It goes great with yuzu pepper. I'll have another beer, please! Overall, it was a good restaurant with relatively affordable prices and quality dishes. Thank you for the meal!

"Stand Shou" is an izakaya in Nakazaki-cho shopping street that serves Kyushu cuisine. I discovered this place across the street from "Sakadokiya Kaddoko," a bar I occasionally visit. I visited around 6:30 pm on a weekday, and it was still early, so I was able to enter easily. The restaurant mainly has counter seats and only one table seat, creating a small and cozy atmosphere. The young and handsome owner runs the place alone. It was a very cold day, but I noticed a sign outside offering Ebisu draft beer for 500 yen discounted to 300 yen, so I ordered one to start. While deciding on what to eat, a complimentary katsu soup was served, warming me up after walking in the cold. For food, I chose two recommended items from the blackboard menu: "Aged chicken tataki" for 550 yen and "Homemade smoked platter" for 550 yen. The tataki was served with fried onions, yuzu pepper, green onions, onions, shiso leaves, lemon, and various condiments. The meat had a nice texture, was chewy, and perfectly rare – delicious! The smoked platter included smoked mackerel, quail eggs, cheese, and pickled radish. Even simple ingredients became incredibly tasty when smoked – especially the mackerel! I considered trying Kyushu's local sake but found only Kikumasamune sake on the menu. It seems Kyushu is more about shochu after all. Although I only had a light meal this time, both dishes were carefully prepared, showcasing the owner's sense of taste. I look forward to returning for a more leisurely experience with Kyushu shochu and cuisine next time. Thank you for the meal!

[Overall Impression] Located about a 3-minute walk from Nakazakicho Station in Osaka, this izakaya offers a wide range of delicious Kyushu cuisine in an arcade shopping street. Many of the dishes on the menu use ingredients from Kyushu or are traditional dishes from various regions in Kyushu. They also focus on shochu for drinks (^_^) While there are many places that specialize in Kyushu cuisine, this place stands out with the owner's sense of taste making each dish very delicious. Since it mainly has counter seating, it is recommended to visit alone or in a small group. The restaurant is located in the middle of an arcade shopping street connecting Nakazakicho Station and Tenjinbashi-suji. The white sign with the restaurant's name stands out. Inside, there are 8 counter seats and one table. The background music includes songs by Yumi Matsutoya and Keisuke Kuwata. The menu offers many dishes from Kyushu, such as gameniku (Fukuoka) and ryukyu (Oita). The impression is that they have a good selection of shochu, and they also have mizuwari (pre-diluted shochu) available. Although all the dishes looked interesting, this time I chose three recommended dishes, including the daily special. I started with sake and then switched to imo shochu. - Appetizer: Tsukune and Daikon & Greens Soup This tsukune has a firm texture and a rich flavor. The soft daikon absorbs the flavor of the chicken and tastes delicious. This appetizer convinced me of the deliciousness of the food here. - Fresh Fish Sashimi Trio (600 yen) This recommended dish includes yellowtail, Spanish mackerel, herring, and tuna. They are all fresh and sliced thickly, emphasizing the firm texture. The soy sauce is on the sweeter side, which is typical of Kyushu style. Personally, I prefer regular soy sauce, but the fish was delicious. - Aged Chicken Tataki (550 yen) With a strong texture and slightly warm, this aged chicken has a strong umami flavor. The chewy texture is quite appealing. The variety of condiments allows you to enjoy different flavors. This dish goes well with shochu. - Hakata-style Offal and Vegetable Stew (600 yen) The offal is lightly stewed, rich in fat. Garlic, sesame, and a hint of chili pepper add flavor. The richness of the offal is balanced by the sweetness of the cabbage in the soup. This dish is quite delicious and has a punchy flavor that is not overwhelming but addictive. - Fried Chicken (600 yen) Probably made with chicken thigh meat, the large cuts have a crispy outer layer. The seasoning is well done, with a crispy skin and juicy meat. The contrast between the crispy skin and juicy meat is wonderful. This fried chicken is of high quality. [Final Thoughts] The dishes here are all delicious, thanks to the high-quality ingredients and the owner's sense of taste in seasoning. The owner runs the place alone, so the service can be slow when it's busy, but it's not a major issue. I was very satisfied. I liked it so much that I revisited shortly after, and the food was still excellent. You can't go wrong with anything here. The bill for today's meal was 4,260 yen. Thank you for the meal.

At the age of 22, the owner, Mr. Inoue Sho, who is originally from Kumamoto, started living in Osaka and fulfilled his dream of opening his own restaurant in the Tenroku Nakazaki shopping district, where he used to hang out a lot. Due to the fierce competition in the food and beverage industry, he wanted to create a unique restaurant, focusing on dishes from Kyushu. Some of the specialties include: (Oita) Ryukyu for 550 yen, (Fukuoka) Nameko mushroom stew for 450 yen, and (Kagoshima) Fried kibinago for 400 yen. The Ryukyu dish, which combines various fish with kabosu, soy sauce, myoga, and sesame, is especially delicious! The aged Nameko mushroom stew also has a comforting flavor. Additionally, there are other Kyushu specialties such as (Nagasaki) Charred dried young sardines and (Miyazaki) Sticky pork spare ribs. From the opening until 7 pm, customers can enjoy Ebisu draft beer for only 300 yen per glass. The owner enjoys engaging in conversation with customers without being intrusive and appreciates maintaining a comfortable distance. Over the years, he has developed a fondness for this type of restaurant.
