Thank you for always taking care of us. I also received your help in Nishinari before. Before returning to the hotel, I purchase some "deli" to enjoy a little more drinking. Just looking at the "deli" makes me happy, so I consider it as a tourist spot on my own. I am always surprised by the 99 yen white rice! It's piled up in every store! I used to wonder if there were really that many people buying it, but then I saw a man putting it in his basket! I get it now! Instead of buying a bento, people buy white rice, sashimi, and deli at a low price and make their own bento! I understand! That man is right! The sashimi and deli are cheap, but the rest is not as cheap, but I am always surprised by the prices. When you visit Osaka, be sure to stop by! When it comes to Osaka, it's "Tamade"! Look for the yellow sign!

There is a flashy signboard at Temma where you can't go wrong with the meat suki. I wanted to see it once, so I visited the store and there are many original side dishes that make you want to buy them. I bought the meat suki and had it for dinner during my stay. I thought it would be more oily, but it was surprisingly refreshing, and the rich taste goes well with the half-cooked egg and shichimi. With this, white rice goes well, making it a kind of side dish soup. It would be nice to have one more shichimi. The soup is strong, so the shichimi stands out. The tofu is also flavorful and warms the body, making it an excellent food. Well done, Tamade.

After having a daytime drink at Senbero, I decided to make a quick stop at Super Tamade. I often use this place. I usually buy seafood and snacks here. Today, I didn't really want any snacks, so I headed to the fish section. Oh, they had it today! It's not always available, but they were selling live shrimp. They were a bit small, but I bought them to eat myself. Live shrimp (5 pieces) for ¥598. This is for me to eat. I also got medium fatty tuna sashimi for ¥498 as a souvenir for my partner. It was almost all fatty tuna (laughs). I didn't take a picture, but the shrimp will be peeled, and the heads will be grilled with salt in the toaster. I'll give that to my partner. I love shrimp, so I eat the sashimi by myself. At first, I was scared of them moving, so I made my partner peel them, but it got too troublesome, so I started peeling them myself. I even wore gloves at first, but now I can do it with my bare hands. I love the crunchy texture and sweetness of live shrimp. It might be cruel, but I can't stop eating them. I pair them with sake. So good! I wish they were a bit bigger and easier to peel, but they're cheap, so I can't complain. Next time, I might eat around 10 pieces. Oh, I drank too much (laughs). I'm grateful to the staff, the ingredients, the live shrimp, Super Tamade, and the blessings of the sea. Thank you for the meal.

Super Tamade, a supermarket in Tenpo, is not a pachinko parlor. They offer a wide range of groceries at affordable prices, but their bentos and side dishes are especially cheap. A large serving of potato salad costs 148 yen, fried potatoes are 118 yen, and tartar chicken nanban is 249 yen. The potato salad is a bit watery but still tasty enough to keep you coming back for more. The fried potatoes are a bit oily, but if you reheat them in the oven, they taste better than frozen potato products. If you're craving junk food, these are perfect. The chicken nanban features thick chicken with a sweet sauce and plenty of tartar. The meat can be a bit dry, but considering the price, it's quite delicious.

JR Temmangu Station (South) Tamade Supermarket in Tenjinbashi Shotengai. A super cheap supermarket in Osaka. For viewing? I saw a small bottle of clione before (^-^; When I went shopping, I found these eggs. Red and white eggs! I've never seen anything like this before. It looks like lucky eggs, so I couldn't help but buy them ^ ^ The side dishes are also cheap (150 yen). I bought various things here and there. There are some hits and misses, so please choose with your own eyes.

On this day, I went to Tenma and decided to buy ingredients for dinner at "Super Tamade." For those who have never heard of it, "Super Tamade" is a famous super market in Osaka known for its cheap prices. It was founded in 1978 in Nishinari Ward, and now has 46 stores in Osaka Prefecture. The stores have a flashy yellow facade and are known for their cheap prices. Most of the stores are open 24 hours. I intended to buy ingredients for stew, but I got distracted by the ready-to-eat food corner. From bento boxes to sushi, fried foods, simmered dishes, and grilled dishes, the ready-to-eat food was incredibly cheap. I looked around the vegetable section, but even Super Tamade couldn't escape the high prices of leafy vegetables. Among all the options, the ready-to-eat food stood out for its cheapness. In the end, I only bought ready-to-eat food and left without buying ingredients for cooking. The items I bought that day were: Tamade Special Croquette Sandwich for 168 yen, Assorted Chinese Bean Thread for 100 yen, and Fried Rice for 148 yen. The total was only 416 yen, which was surprisingly cheap. Let's take a closer look at what I bought. Tamade Special Croquette Sandwich: It was not a sandwich with croquette inside, but rather croquette sandwiched between two slices of mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes had a homemade feel with chunky potato pieces, which paired well with the croquette. It was a unique and satisfying combination. Assorted Chinese Bean Thread: The dish was filled with various ingredients like a little cucumber, a little carrot, and even some lettuce, which is expensive these days. The main ingredient was wood ear mushrooms, and the dish had a slightly sour taste. Fried Rice: This was not your typical fried rice (chahan), but rather a simple dish with ham, egg, carrot, onion, and green onion. Despite its simplicity, it was flavorful and well-seasoned. The hot fried rice had a great aroma and taste, comparable to what you would get at a restaurant like Osho. "Super Tamade" continues to support the appetites of Osaka residents with its cheap ready-to-eat food. With 1 yen sales and other promotions, it always remains a topic of discussion. Now, I will try to make stew tomorrow! That's all for today!

This is a famous store known for being a cheap supermarket in Osaka. However, what left a strong impression on me was their sign. Even modern pachinko parlors don't have such flashy neon decorations. I visited around 10:30 PM on Setsubun day and the store was packed with shoppers. I bought a Kirin Lager 500ml (all prices excluding tax at 180 yen) and a Ehomaki roll (150 yen). I hurried back to my hotel and faced the north-northwest as tradition dictates. The Ehomaki roll here had deep-fried tofu in it, which was delicious, but I wish it had more red color for a festive look. It would be even better with some sakura denbu or crab stick added. Also, I would prefer the kanpyo in the roll to be cut into shorter pieces of 2-3cm. I found it difficult to bite through a long piece, so I ended up eating the last part without kanpyo. Despite these small issues, I visit this chain store often when I'm in Osaka because it's affordable.

On a day off, I visited the famous "Super Tamade" in Osaka to buy ingredients for dinner. I have seen various discount supermarkets before, but this store is also quite cheap. I was planning to buy food ingredients, but I got distracted by the side dishes in the deli section (laughs). Most of the side dishes and bento boxes cost around 100 to 350 yen. Oh, an omelet for 198 yen, this would be perfect for drawing at home (laughs). I also decided to get meatballs for the main dish! I also bought bean sprouts and meat, and the total cost was around 700 yen, a super cheap price!! However, when side dishes are this cheap, it makes me not want to cook by myself anymore (~_~;). So, for today's dinner, let's eat! Omelet rice for 198 yen + sweet and sour meatballs for 100 yen. First, the omelet... The theme for today is "Σ(￣□￣lll)." I tried it for the first time, but drawing it nicely is surprisingly difficult (-_-;). Now, let's try it. The ketchup rice has mixed vegetables, which is understandable, but it also has plenty of chicken. The taste is a bit light, but the quality is higher than I expected. If I were to spend 130 yen on a slightly fake-looking omelet rice ball from a convenience store, this omelet rice here is much more cost-effective. The sweet and sour meatballs have a texture that is more like a paste than meat, but the seasoning is not bad. Plus, you get 10 pieces for 100 yen, which is a cost performance comparable to a Tirolean chocolate. Amazing, right? Super Tamade!!! Oh, I forgot to add vegetables. I'll make sure to get my vegetable intake tomorrow (^^;). That's it for today's meal! Enjoy!

It's a hassle to take the train in a zigzag route, so I decided to walk and quickly found myself at Ogimachi Park. I arrived too early, so I decided to stroll around the shopping street in Tenma and ended up passing by Kansai TV, where I suddenly saw the Tamade sign. Oh, I know this, a 24-hour discount supermarket. I had low expectations because of their cheap marketing strategy, but as expected, the prices were not as low as they claimed. Still, the convenience of being able to shop at reasonable prices 24 hours a day is valuable. They had a variety of items, including bento boxes for 200 yen, rice with toppings for under 100 yen, and fried white fish for under 50 yen. I couldn't resist and ended up buying a snack for 147 yen, which was warm and satisfying. The park was a perfect spot to enjoy it. Overall, the cost performance of the deli items was 78 points, the usability was 88 points, and the taste was 72 points, resulting in a score of 79 points. If I have the chance to visit Tamade again, I might try other items like rice with toppings. ...But maybe I should go for the 300 yen morning set at "Juhachiban" instead of the park breakfast. Image Blog ⇒ "http://kouji328.blog59.fc2.com/blog-entry-2711.html" During my business trip in Osaka, I stayed in Nakanoshima and had dinner at "Juhachiban" in Tenma, then went to get some late-night snacks. While wandering down a back alley off the shopping street, I headed to Tamade. There were many lively standing bars along the way, making it hard to choose just one for a quick drink. It's quite an enviable environment. It had been a week since I last visited Tamade, and this time, I found the sweets and drinks on the 2nd floor. Despite the constant announcements about being the cheapest in Japan, the prices were not that low. I was disappointed. So, I settled for some fried food on the 1st floor. While the variety and prices of sweets and drinks were disappointing, the sushi rolls, pressed sushi, and fried foods were decent. I bought a mincemeat cutlet for 39 yen, a small fried horse mackerel for 49 yen, and a croquette for 39 yen. They weren't warm, but I didn't mind since the hotel room had a microwave. I made my way back to the hotel in Nakanoshima through the Tenjinbashi shopping street. The mincemeat cutlet, at 39 yen, was juicy with a good balance of meat and fat, and it was satisfying even without sauce. The fried horse mackerel had a slight bitterness that made it quite appetizing. Although they were nothing special when considering the price, they were still enjoyable. The croquette, on the other hand, remained crispy even after being reheated in the microwave. It was a bit too sweet for my liking, but the balance of potato and minced meat was delicious. If you're looking for a cheap snack, Tamade's fried foods are worth a try. However, if it's not morning, you might want to consider options like the 130 yen cabbage pancake. Therefore, the score for late afternoon evaluation is 74 points, a decrease from the morning score of 79 points.

I visited Super Tamade Tenjinbashi store. It seems to be a popular budget supermarket in Osaka. It's located in various places around town. Osaka is a merchant town after all. The main selling point here is definitely the low prices. It's a super cheap supermarket. They have a 1 yen sale going on all the time, but not many people seem to pay much attention to it. Maybe they're just used to it? Amazing, right? I also bought sushi and scallops. They were delicious as expected. The scallops were fresh and crunchy. Osaka is amazing for offering good quality items at low prices.

I often rely on Tamade-san. The prices are incredibly cheap! No matter what you buy, it's just cheap! Plus, they're open 24 hours. It's amazing, isn't it? However, because of their low prices, it's always crowded, so you always have to wait in line at the checkout. And the staff at the checkout seem to be in a rush, so they're not very friendly. It would be perfect if they improved their service. Oh, but I often hear not-so-good things about the quality of their food, especially seafood. Some say it's better to avoid buying fresh items. I still buy them without worry because they're cheap. Opinions are divided, but with their popularity, customers must be satisfied, right?

This is a 24-hour supermarket in front of JR Temma Station. It is very cheap, but the selection and quality are just like a regular supermarket. There are also daily necessities on the second floor, so you can find everything you need, not just food items.

I bought a white fish fry, which was surprisingly cheap compared to other deli shops nearby. The quality was not compromised, and judging by the freshness of the seafood, it was easy to imagine that the fish fry was of high quality as well. It seemed like if there were any leftovers, they could easily be turned into deli items. Moreover, the market had a variety of fresh fish, including some high-quality ones, at low prices, so it didn't seem likely that the fish fry would go unsold. In fact, the next day, I went back with a large cooler bag and bought a big sea bream. Amazing!
