In early September, I attended an event at Intex Osaka and decided to have lunch at Nagata En. I was surprised to find this restaurant near Intex Osaka, as I had previously only known Nagata En from the Kobe Shogun store near my hometown. The restaurant is located on the 1st floor of the Cosmo Tower, a building that also houses the Osaka Prefectural Government and is close to Intex Osaka, making it a convenient location. It took about a 5-minute walk from Intex Osaka to reach the restaurant. The interior was spacious with about 50 seats, and I opted for the "Choose Your Set Meal" (880 yen) where you can select one item from Menu 1 and one item from Menu 2. I chose the Minced Cutlet from Menu 1 and the 2 Mini Cutlets and 1 Fried Chicken from Menu 2. The menu also includes options like Large Shrimp, Yamagata Pork Cutlet Set Meal, Yokozuna Set Meal, Thick Pork Cutlet Set Meal, and more, all priced below 1,600 yen. After ordering, I headed to the service counter where rice, curry, miso soup, raw egg, natto, 7 side dishes, and seaweed were available. I returned to my table with my set meal which included the selected items along with cabbage, rice, miso soup, salt, and sesame seeds. The taste of the cutlets was decent, and I also enjoyed the egg over rice and curry. Overall, for the price, the meal was satisfactory and brought back memories of my hometown in Kobe.
