I was a bit lost in finding a restaurant, but I chose this place that seemed promising. It's located on the second floor of a building, just a 2-minute walk from Tsuruhashi. Inside, there were small booths lined up, suitable even for families with children. It seemed like I got the last table, as it quickly became full with customers coming in one after another. Lucky me. The young girl with me shouted "two draft beers" without really understanding the menu. Oh well, it gives a glimpse into her parents' daily life. We ordered tsukune cheese, chicken nanban, fried potatoes (for the young girl), kama meshi, yagen nankotsu, ajitama, and draft beers, and waited for a while. Unfortunately, the potatoes were sold out that day. The ajitama, tsukune, and chicken nanban arrived in that order. The young girl only ate the white part of the ajitama. Then she enjoyed the yagen nankotsu. The taste was consistent and delicious, but the chicken nanban's frying method or rather the coating didn't suit my taste. The tartar sauce was tasty, but the chicken coating was not good. I wonder if it used to be like this before, or if it has been improved, or if it's the original way of frying at this restaurant. It was disappointing. The kama meshi had a generous portion and tasted delicious. Maybe the inclusion of kamaboko is a trend now. Finally, we ordered chu-hai, hot sake, and tare kawa. When I asked for "warm sake," the server clarified that they have hot sake, chilled sake, and cold sake. Well, I guess "warm sake" didn't quite get through. Despite the lively atmosphere which I'm not very fond of, the food was delicious. It was a bit too crowded for my liking, but the food was great.
