Today, I had dinner with a friend after a long time (=´∀`)人(´∀`=). Although I usually enjoy indulging in meat, tonight we decided to go for something a bit healthier at Tatsuya Namba Store. This restaurant is recommended by my friend and it offers delicious shabu-shabu with a tasty broth! We made a reservation and headed there together. The restaurant is located on South Road in Namba, close to Namba Station, just a short walk from NGK towards Kuromon Market. It is on the second floor, up the stairs next to an Italian restaurant.
We were guided to a cozy table on the second floor, which had a hidden and romantic atmosphere, perfect for a date. We started with a premium draft beer, which is always a great way to start a meal. The dishes we ordered included:
- Tuna and Shiso Salted Tofu: The tofu was topped with a generous amount of freshly shaved bonito flakes, which were of the highest quality from Ibusuki, Kagoshima Prefecture. The aroma of the bonito flakes filled the air, creating a delightful experience.
- Tomato Salad: A refreshing salad with sweet cherry tomatoes and fresh vegetables, full of vibrant flavors.
- Assorted Sashimi: Tuna, flounder, and striped jack sashimi beautifully presented with salt and freshly grated wasabi, a delicious and fresh dish.
- Simmered Daikon Radish with Deep-Fried Chicken: A dish where simmered daikon radish is fried in a light batter, served with a green onion sauce, a unique and tasty combination.
- Tatsuya Sour with Bonito Flakes: A special sour cocktail with a strong bonito flavor, an interesting and flavorful drink.
Finally, the highlight of the meal was the ultimate shabu-shabu premium course with Hokkaido pasture-raised beef. The golden broth was made with the finest ingredients, including Hokkaido kombu, Fukurai aged three years mirin from Shirakiku Shuzo, and plenty of premium bonito flakes. The meat, vegetables, and the rich broth created a luxurious shabu-shabu experience, with each bite bursting with flavor. The meal ended with a satisfying bowl of rice cooked in the flavorful broth.
Overall, Tatsuya Namba Store provided an exceptional dining experience with its high-quality ingredients, delicious dishes, and inviting atmosphere. It was a delightful evening spent enjoying healthy and flavorful food with a good friend.
