I had always wanted to try Yamachan, a famous restaurant. I was in need of food in Tennoji and happened to find it in the dining building of Tennoji Mio. Luckily, Yamachan was not crowded at all! I'm sure other restaurants are busy on Sundays, especially with families. The recommended Yamachan sour drink was refreshing with a citrus flavor, and the price was reasonable. The highlight was the chicken wings! The skin was crispy, the seasoning was not too strong, and it had a spicy kick that went well with the drinks. I was hoping the wings would be a bit bigger, but it was still satisfying. There were many solo female customers, making it a comfortable atmosphere. I was very satisfied and would like to come back to enjoy some drinks with a side dish next time!

The food at Yamachan is of course the legendary chicken wings✨ Other dishes I tried were chorogi salad, Taiwanese yakisoba, miso kushikatsu, shirasu bomb, Taiwanese dotenabe, and flavored potato. This was for two visits☺️ I tried various dishes, but the drinks are a bit expensive and some dishes have small portions for the price. So, for me, I would recommend the legendary chicken wings and Taiwanese yakisoba for a great izakaya experience✨ The restaurant just opened at the end of April, it's clean and quite spacious, making it a good place to dine◎ Thank you for the meal!

One Coin Lunch and Over 1000 Yen Lunch set at Tennoji Mio, a commercial facility directly connected to JR Tennoji Station. "Sekai no Yamachan Tennoji Mio Store" (Osaka, Tennoji) offers lunch menus. Last time, we introduced the Tennoji Mio store limited Yamachan Nagoya Curry for 850 yen. This time, it's the Yamachan Set for 1100 yen, which includes chicken wings, miso cutlet, pickled vegetables, tempura, and thick noodles.

Located on the 4th floor of the Tennoji Mio Plaza building directly above JR Tennoji Station is "Sekai no Yamachan." This is my second time visiting this restaurant. "Sekai no Yamachan" is a famous restaurant from Nagoya, with over 70 locations nationwide and in Osaka, including here at Tennoji Mio Plaza, Hankyu Higashi-dori, Honmachi, and Sennichimae. The restaurant is quite spacious, with 18 counter seats, 40 table seats, and 24 smoking seats (limited to heated). Nine of the counter seats are shaped like chicken wings and are called "Chicken Wing Counter Seats." This Tennoji Mio branch is one of the few "Sekai no Yamachan" locations that serve lunch. Their lunch menu includes "Yamachan Nagoya Curry" (850 yen), "Phantom Chicken Wing" (1,300 yen), "Yamachan Set" (1,100 yen), "Kishimen" (750 yen), and "Taiwanese Mixed Kishimen" (900 yen). This time, I ordered the classic Nagoya dish "Kishimen (hot)." I also added the "Tempura Set" for an additional 182 yen. The Kishimen was served in a shallow bowl with two pieces of tempura on a rectangular plate. The reddish-brown broth was unfamiliar to me, with kishimen noodles laid out in it, topped with fish cake, green onions, seaweed, grated yam, and bonito flakes. The broth had a rich bonito flavor with a slightly stronger soy sauce taste than the standard Kansai udon broth. The noodles were flat and slightly soft, with a smooth texture that complemented the flavorful broth well. The bouncy fish cake and fragrant seaweed added to the dish's appeal. The tempura was small but delicious, with a light saltiness and a perfect combination of shrimp texture, rice sweetness, and nori flavor. It was gone in no time. A fun fact: the Tennoji Mio is directly above Tennoji Station, where the Yamato Line operates. The official name of the Yamato Line is the Kansai Main Line, which starts in Nagoya. This means that there is a direct railway connection from Tennoji to Nagoya. However, very few people use the Kansai Main Line to travel from Tennoji to Nagoya, as it requires two transfers and costs 3,080 yen. The journey takes less than 4 hours, so it might be a surprisingly viable option.

Yamachan, a famous restaurant chain in Japan, has made a comeback at Tennoji Station, according to rumors. I wanted to come early to see Yamachan! Before Harukas was built, there was a take-out store inside Abenobashi Station on the Kintetsu Line, but it's gone now. In Minami, Kita, and Honmachi, there are still Yamachan restaurants, but this one at the southernmost tip of Osaka Prefecture is special. JR Tennoji Station has a modern and clean Yamachan on the 4th floor of Mio Plaza. It might be a bit confusing at first, but the place is sleek and welcoming, especially for young people and women. Some seats allow electronic cigarettes. I ordered the famous black and white chicken wings, which were delicious after three years. The black wings were tangy, while the white wings had a punchy sauce. I also tried the miso kushikatsu, which was sweet and crispy. I'll definitely come back to try more dishes during lunchtime. Thank you for the meal! (*Visited for the first time on June 11, 2023*)

When I became aware of the world, I became a little awkward because I can't speak English. I'm sorry... I will be sending out the "Drinking Alone and Bar Hopping Series" every day. Please note that there are fewer photos than usual due to the nature of "drinking alone and bar hopping". Currently, I am focusing on my main job for a short period of time, so please enjoy the photos.

It's been a while since I had a daytime drink - today is the 6th stop (laughs). Let's have some chicken wings~ that's what we decided♪ The interior of the restaurant was very clean - it seems to be a non-smoking area. I'm grateful for that. We ordered (all prices excluding tax): Draft beer ¥550, Chicken wings (5 pieces) ¥550 - my second time trying this special dish by Yamachan, they make it so easy to eat with their spices... amazing. Suica (Japanese gin and soda) ¥450 - my first time trying it, Taiwan-style yakisoba ¥650 - a bit spicy and ethnic, Garlic fried rice ¥530 - yeah, it's hearty and delicious. Ah, this is fun♡ This is a regular izakaya, with this location and these prices, they are really working hard. Everything was delicious and easy to enjoy. From dates to large groups, it's versatile and I think it's great. Thank you for the meal~＾＾

The leader of the Minami Osaka Revitalization Team, Bunker-chan, and I went out for a drink (*•̀ᗜ•́*)و※ By the way, I'm also a member (is that too much?). We had a sweet caramel latte, cheesy kamapasta, so now it's time for something spicy. We decided to go to the recently opened Sekai no Yamachan in Sakai. I remember buying and eating it in my younger days at Abenobashi Station on Kintetsu Line, and it was delicious. The restaurant is located on the 4th floor of mio, with an open entrance and a bright interior. We chose the table with an electronic cigarette option. It was still empty at this time, with only one group of 4 people, so we were a bit worried. The menu was extensive and taking photos was a hassle! We ordered draft beer, highball, the famous "phantom" chicken wings, Taiwanese yakisoba, and garlic fried rice (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑ Starting with the "phantom" chicken wings - they were spicy and delicious (　ﾟдﾟ)ﾝﾏｯ! The Taiwanese yakisoba was also moderately spicy and tasty! We also ordered a highball. To finish off, we had the garlic fried rice (　ﾟдﾟ)ﾝﾏｯ! There are still many delicious-looking items on the menu, and they also serve lunch, so maybe we'll come back for that next time. Thank you for the meal ( *˙ω˙*)و ｸﾞｯ!

In a corner of this world, the famous Yamachan restaurant opened in Mio, so I went in to try their chicken wings! I ordered the Yamachan set without hesitation, which includes: 3 chicken wings, miso katsu, dotenabe, 2 tempura shrimp, kishimen noodles, and pickled radish. The chicken wings were spicy and the miso katsu and dotenabe were rich in flavor. The tempura shrimp in the tempura was delicious, and the kishimen noodles had a strong bonito flavor. It felt like I had eaten all of Nagoya!

I am "Noronori," who mainly walks around eating lunch, mainly in Sakai. I found out that the famous Yamachan lunch was being served, so I went there right away. I had the Yamachan set from the lunch menu. It included kishimen, tempura, tebasaki (chicken wings), miso kushi katsu (deep-fried skewers), and dotenabe (pork and vegetable stew), all in small portions! It was amazing! The tebasaki was so good that I even brought home 10 pieces. Thank you for the delicious meal.

JR Tennoji Station is located directly above the complex building, Tennoji Mio Plaza. The 10th and 11th floors of the main building of Mio and the 4th floor of the Plaza building are dedicated to a restaurant area. The 4th floor of the Plaza building is especially convenient as it is just a short escalator ride up from the pedestrian bridge in Tennoji. I often use this area for lunch. Recently, a new restaurant called "Sekai no Yamachan" opened on April 28th in this renovated section of the Plaza building, with three more restaurants scheduled to open in May. "Sekai no Yamachan" is a well-known restaurant from Nagoya, with over 70 locations nationwide and three existing branches in Osaka. This new branch in the Abeno-Tennoji area is their first venture here. The restaurant is quite spacious, with 18 counter seats, 40 table seats, and 24 smoking seats (for heated smoking only), totaling 82 seats. The unique feature is the "tebasaki counter seats" with 9 seats shaped like chicken wings. The Tennoji Mio branch of "Sekai no Yamachan" offers lunch service, which is rare for the chain. The lunch menu includes "Yamachan Nagoya Curry" (850 yen), "Maboroshi no Tebasaki" (1,300 yen), "Yamachan Set" (1,100 yen), "Kishimen" (750 yen), and "Taiwanese mixed kishimen" (900 yen). A unique option is the "Lunch Rice Set" (200 yen), which includes rice, pickles, and miso soup, allowing customers to turn any main dish into a set meal. I decided to try the "Yamachan Nagoya Curry," which arrived promptly. The dish consisted of rice in the center of a plate with curry sauce poured around it, accompanied by a chicken wing, mini tomato, and pickles. The curry sauce was rich and flavorful, with a hint of spice. The chicken wings, a signature dish of "Sekai no Yamachan," were bone-in but easy to eat with a spoon. The mini tomato was lightly blanched, adding a gentle flavor. The pickles were cucumber pickles, not the typical Fukujinzuke, showcasing the Nagoya influence. Overall, the "Yamachan Nagoya Curry" was surprisingly delicious, with the use of Haccho Miso adding a unique twist. I will definitely try adding Haccho Miso to my homemade curry next time.

In 2023, a new commercial facility directly connected to JR Tennoji Station, Tennoji Mio, underwent renovations this spring and now houses about 50 stores. One of the new stores that opened on April 28th is "Sekai no Yamachan Tennoji Mio Store," marking the first time the popular izakaya chain has opened a store of this type. I visited this store for the first time in 13 years. The lunch menu at this Tennoji Mio store features a special dish called the Yamachan Nagoya Curry for 850 yen. As someone who doesn't like chicken wings, I found that the boneless chicken wings were actually still attached to the bone. Is it necessary to have chicken wings in this shape for curry?

I went to Tennoji Mio, a new restaurant, and tried their popular special chicken wings and Taiwanese yakisoba. When I had it in Nagoya, it was cold, but here it was slightly warm and delicious. The Taiwanese yakisoba was incredibly spicy, but I managed to finish it. I've tried various Nagoya dishes, so maybe next time I'll try the ankake spaghetti?笑

This is a newly opened restaurant at Tennoji MIO. I love chicken wings, so I'm happy they have them here! I remember having delicious chicken wings when I traveled to Nagoya with friends before. It's really nice to be able to enjoy them in Osaka too! Both the spicy and saucy flavors are delicious. There are also plenty of other menu options, so you can relax and enjoy a drink. There are several new restaurants in this area, so it's a great place to shop, have a drink, and unwind before heading home!

It's already the 4th store in Osaka, but I'm still happy that it's so close. The pepper sprinkled on the chicken wings is spicy and intense, but it's addictive. I couldn't help but order more wings. The lunch menu is also extensive, so I want to try it for lunch next time. They also offer takeout, so definitely check it out.

Opened today on the 4th floor of Tennoji MIO Plaza building. I'm glad I had registered. The spacious interior has a nice view. There was quite a wait for takeout orders. I love fried chicken wings, and I used to have a favorite place in Abiko that had a similar flavor, but it's gone now. I've tried Yamachan's wings at events before, but this was my first time at the actual restaurant. The menu is extensive! ⚫ Beer ⚫ Fried chicken wings (extra) were just okay. I'll enjoy my beer. ⚫ Cucumber pickles were very salty, not a good palate cleanser. ⚫ Shrimp tempura was small but hot. Comes with pickled radish, which was nice. The taste was average. The rice dishes and pickled vegetables looked delicious. Takeout is convenient, but freshly made is always better. Although the seasoning is good at Yamachan and Furaito, I still prefer the wings from Nishinomiya, where I've been going for years. I wanted to try the Yamachan Sour drink, but they ran out of wings, so I had to give up. Too bad. It's nice that they open at 11 am, so you can have wings for lunch. This place seems suitable for a casual daytime drink. Thank you for the meal.

Overall, the flavors were strong... It was delicious but I couldn't eat much. I wanted to try more variety of dishes.

When you want to eat heartily in Tennoji, order the iron plate meat rice and chicken wings. The seasoning is strong, so it makes you crave beer.

I really like the draft beer at this place, especially the Sapporo Black Label ❤ They also have large beer mugs. I was happy to see Guinness black beer as well. The chicken wings were delicious too!

The pepper-heavy chicken wings are delicious and I could eat as many as I want.
