One day, I met up with a close friend from my school days for drinks. We agreed to meet at a building near Sonezaki Shinchi, which has been operating since March this year as part of a redevelopment project. The building is called "K's Square Building," and on the first floor, there are a highball bar, a karaoke place, and a hormone izakaya. I wondered which place my friend would take me to, but then he led me downstairs. As we descended the stairs of the building, we arrived at a stylish place with a clean and fresh atmosphere. The private rooms had tightly closed doors (although the upper part of the rooms was open, so you could hear the voices of the neighboring guests. Politicians, beware!). My friend and I, being two women with nothing to hide (although it would be nice if we did), raised a toast with beer and plum wine! This time, my friend had reserved the "Premium Course" for us, which included a luxurious seafood full course meal. It consisted of 10 dishes for 5,000 yen, discounted from the original 6,500 yen. It was a coincidence that my friend chose this place, as the opening day of the restaurant coincided with my birthday. I am truly grateful for this gesture. The meal started with a welcome dish of crab with sauce over steamed rice, followed by a smoked duck appetizer with basil sauce. The seafood salad was fresh and satisfying, and the sashimi platter included tuna, salmon, yellowtail, amberjack, sea urchin, and salmon roe. The hotpot dish featured sea urchin, sea bream, and red shrimp in a golden broth, which was rich and flavorful. The tempura dish included deep-fried shrimp and vegetables served with matcha salt. The grilled chicken dish was a unique twist on the traditional Kyoto-style dish, and the simmered red snapper was the highlight of the meal. The dinner ended with a comforting rice porridge and a seasonal sorbet dessert. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to enjoy good food and drinks with my friend.

On a Thursday night in March, all the restaurants were full. I wandered around until I was drawn in by a guy promoting the menu. The restaurant had two names, "Yonezoe" and "Yamahisa," located in the deepest part of the basement. The food was amazing. In conclusion, it's wise not to go to restaurants with people trying to lure you in.

This is a private izakaya located in the dining area of a new capsule hotel in Ohatsu Tenjin. The shopping street in Ohatsu also sees a lot of turnover in new shops. It seems like there are more people walking around now than before. With the increase in business hotels around Umeda, there are also more customers coming from afar. I wonder if the capsule hotel above has a lot of guests? Having a dining area under the hotel is convenient and nice. I just went out for a drink with my colleagues from work. We toasted with beer and ordered a salad called "Kyoto-grown Kujo green onion and organic tofu with golden sesame salad." It's packed with green onions and the sweet sesame dressing goes well with the vegetables. It also pairs nicely with the tofu. Since I was hungry, I ordered some fried foods like Chicken Nanban. It's quite a substantial portion! They generously topped it with tartar sauce. I also ordered the grilled chicken, which came with plenty of green onions. The crispy texture of the onions and their flavor complement the chicken well. There was a variety of drinks available, making the experience enjoyable. Thank you for the meal!

I went to a new restaurant called O-Hatsu Tenjin today. It's located in the basement of a building called Square Building, and it's a spacious underground space with hardly any people around. We were guided to a private room for three people, but it felt a bit cramped. The room was about the size of two toilet stalls! It was so tight when we placed our belongings! We ordered the "Momiji Course" which included a 3-hour all-you-can-drink option. Here's a breakdown of the dishes we had: 1. Steamed crab custard: A small cup of steamed custard with crab. Tasted like egg tofu. 2. Smoked duck with basil: Duck meat with a unique basil flavor. 3. Seafood salad: A generous portion of seafood salad including salmon roe. 4. Assorted sashimi: A platter with salmon and tuna sashimi. 5. Tempura with shrimp and vegetables: Shrimp tempura and shishito peppers tempura. 6. Grilled chicken with perilla leaves: Chicken with plenty of leeks and ponzu sauce. 7. Sea urchin, sea bream, and red shrimp shabu-shabu: We cooked these in a pot in the room and seasoned them with ponzu sauce. 8. Rice porridge: Rice with egg and leeks. 9. Seasonal dessert: Yuzu sherbet. For the price, the 3-hour all-you-can-drink option was quite affordable. It might be a good choice for those who want to drink for a long time at a reasonable price.

This is a new building that was recently completed. The interior of the restaurant is clean and nice, and even though it was getting late, there were still some customers coming in. We started off with some light snacks, but since we still had some room in our stomachs, we all decided to order some fried chicken. We also ordered some highballs to cheers with! While beer is good, highballs go really well with fried food because they are lighter. We also ordered some chicken sashimi, which was sweet and tender. For the finishing touch, I went with a Yukke-don for a refreshing end to the meal! The menu has a variety of options and the all-you-can-drink option is convenient. I will definitely consider coming back for a company gathering. Thank you for the meal!

I used it because I was looking for a private room. Even though it was a private room, the walls were thin and narrow, so you could hear the conversation next door clearly, and if you hit the wall, the vibration was direct haha. The food and drinks are expensive, so I do not recommend coming here if you are looking for quality haha. Well, I probably won't go back...

On the underground 1st floor is Yamahisa. Despite the bustling street outside, as soon as I descended the stairs, the presence of people disappeared and I had a bad feeling. I had made a reservation, but it seemed like it hadn't been communicated to the staff as they led us to a table that clearly couldn't accommodate our group size. The restaurant was empty but the staff were unresponsive when called... Finally, when they did come, they insisted that the table they had given us was the biggest one available. It wasn't about the size of the table, it was about not being able to sit comfortably, but they wouldn't listen. Eventually, we were moved to a larger table that was available. The interior of the restaurant felt like a maze with partitions dividing the space, giving it a haunted house-like atmosphere. The ambience was just not there. They didn't seem to have a record of our reservation, so for some reason they kept asking to see our reservation confirmation multiple times, which was unsettling. The food preparation was slow as they seemed unprepared. The quality was akin to home-cooked meals with no special touch, and the drinks were lackluster with the lemon sour barely having any flavor. The staff also seemed to be in a bad mood, and the drinks and dishes were just placed on the table without care. While I wanted to express my frustration, it felt like a strange experience overall.

During the coronavirus pandemic, having completely private rooms made me feel safe. They have a great selection of seafood, and I was impressed by the overflowing ikura sushi. The sashimi was also very fresh. I recommend trying putting leftover ikura on top of salmon sushi. ⭐️

We had a company farewell party and used this restaurant. It is located in the basement of a building called K's Square Building, a little walk from Higashi-dori in Umeda. The restaurant has a wooden theme and is located in a spacious area with a quiet atmosphere. Upon entering, you will notice that most of the seats are private rooms, making it feel like a maze with similar views throughout. It can be confusing, especially after visiting the restroom. Despite the delay in our reservation due to not all guests arriving on time, the restaurant kindly accommodated us by adjusting the reservation time. Today was a farewell party for our company's boss, so we decided to order the luxurious course menu. The course included a welcome dish, appetizer, seafood salad, sashimi platter, tempura, grilled chicken, simmered fish, hot pot, rice porridge, and seasonal dessert. We chose the "Top Class Course" for 5,000 yen, which also included a 3-hour all-you-can-drink option. The menu was extensive and lavish, with a variety of dishes such as tempura, sashimi, and hot pot. It was a great deal for the price, and we had a fun night enjoying the food and drinks. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

We used it for a company drinking party. They don't offer welcome or pick-up services, but we reserved the perfect "welcome and farewell party" course with menus and prices that matched our preferences! The price is 4,500 yen with all-you-can-drink. Normally, only draft beer is included in the all-you-can-drink option, so we ordered beer for an additional 500 yen! - Crab sauce-covered steamed rice bowl - Smoked duck with basil flavor - Seafood salad - Assorted sashimi - Snow crab, sea bream, and red shrimp shabu-shabu hot pot - Fugu tempura - Grilled chicken on magnolia leaf - Finish with a porridge - Yuzu sherbet Each dish was elaborate and delicious! The portion size was just right for a party-oriented restaurant. With the porridge at the end, we were completely satisfied!

I visited Tsujia in the shopping street of Higashi-dori in Umeda. Going downstairs, there weren't many other shops besides Tsujia, so it felt a bit lonely. The exterior has a warm look with wood as the main theme. We were greeted as soon as we arrived. They recommended the all-you-can-drink option, but we decided to order a la carte this time. We started with a toast with draft beer! We had the following dishes: Today's fresh sashimi platter (5 pieces) for 1,490 yen, Tamagoyaki topped with Kujo green onions for 690 yen, Crab Japanese-style salad for 790 yen, Fried takoyaki for 490 yen, Special shrimp mayonnaise with shrimp for 790 yen, and Ochazuke with pickled mustard greens for 590 yen. The seafood was fresh and firm, very delicious! It feels like we found a hidden gem because the location of the restaurant is a bit hard to find. We will definitely visit again! Thank you for the meal.

After work, we had a slightly late New Year's party at our company! The organizer had made a reservation at "Tsujitei" in Higashi Umeda. It seems they reserved a course with all-you-can-drink. There were about 10 dishes in total. The appetizer of steamed egg custard was delicious! The broth was rich. In addition to salad, sashimi, tempura, etc., all the dishes were beautifully presented and the taste was excellent. Honestly, at banquets, it's often more about quantity than quality, but here the food was really delicious! The drinks kept flowing, but it's all-you-can-drink so it wasn't a problem. The hot pot also had sea bream, shrimp, and a finale of porridge, it was luxurious. I had so much fun and drank too much, now I have a hangover... haha. It was well received by other employees, so I think we'll be back for another year-end party.笑

Personally, I wouldn't recommend this place to others. It's hard to find a seat and the only good thing is that you can smoke inside when you want to.

The dishes did not match their descriptions, the drinks were either too strong or too weak, and overall it was a place I would never consider going back to.

I was happy that both drinks and food came out quickly!

It was an average izakaya, neither good nor bad. The private rooms were small. The amount of food was surprisingly small. I was disappointed. The taste was equivalent to a regular chain restaurant. I used it to entertain older people I am indebted to, but it was a bit disappointing.

There were surprisingly no customers of very low level. The dishes that came out one after another were like those you would find in a karaoke bar. The alcohol, whether hot or cold, tasted strange. I will never go back again.

Great ambiance!

The food is delicious and the cost performance is good.

We decided to have dinner with my colleagues and ended up at Tsujitaya, a newly opened restaurant inside a capsule hotel. The restaurant was very clean and modern, although the building itself still looked like it was under construction. We didn't think too much and just ordered our favorite dishes, like grilled chicken with miso and fried chicken with tartar sauce. The miso flavor of the grilled chicken was delicious, and the fried chicken was generously topped with tartar sauce. We also had a refreshing salad and finished our meal with spicy mixed noodles. We made a mistake by not getting the all-you-can-drink option, so we'll remember that for next time. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

Today, I was looking for a good restaurant in Umeda to go drinking with my friend, and I happened to come across Tsujaya, which had just recently opened. They kindly accepted our last-minute reservation, which was great. It seems like this place specializes in sea bream shabu-shabu, so I ordered the 3500 yen course. I also opted for the premium all-you-can-drink option, which offers a variety of drinks for a cheap price. For an additional 500 yen, you can choose between silver, gold, or platinum options. Since I don't drink much beer, I added gold and silver. Now I can choose from a wide range of brands! As for the food (refer to Tabelog), it was all delicious and went well with the drinks. The course includes both meat and fish, which was perfect for someone like me who can't decide. I'm planning to come back with my junior colleagues from work next time. Thank you for the wonderful meal!!!
