I casually used it for dinner. There is a coin parking nearby. The interior of the restaurant is long and narrow. It mainly serves fish dishes, and we ordered a few sashimi dishes. Many dishes allow you to taste the ingredients as they are, and the sashimi was seasoned with salt. Overall, the dishes were made with light flavors. It might be a good choice for a second restaurant to visit.

Located on the north side of Minami-Kata Station, this restaurant is tucked away on a side street to the right near Kanpachi-an. It may be difficult to find if you're wandering around looking for a drinking spot. I decided to give it a try based on positive reviews from followers. I visited on a Friday around 7 pm, and the counter had plenty of seats available while the raised seating area in the back was quite busy. Eventually, the counter also filled up. I started with a draft beer, which was a bit pricey at 500 yen. The appetizer was a mix of five beans, which had a slightly unusual taste. It was just okay. As I was finishing my beer after the appetizer, a dish of lemon-marinated celery arrived. It looked oily, like a marinade. The taste was excellent, with the celery retaining its crunchiness while being well-flavored and slightly tangy, thanks to the oil. The black pepper sprinkled on top added a nice touch. The beer was almost finished, so I switched to sake, which paired perfectly with the dish. Despite its appearance, the portion was generous, making it perfect for lingering. I also ordered a sashimi platter with three types of fish. The chef asked if I had any preferences, and I mentioned that I liked squid and octopus, so he included a roll of Aori squid wrapped in shiso leaves, along with two pieces each of amberjack and tuna. At 880 yen, the portion seemed a bit small, but the Aori squid was delicious, with the shiso leaves adding a nice touch. The amberjack had a good balance of firmness and fat, while the tuna was high-quality and not watery, with a slightly fatty texture. It was perhaps aged tuna, as it didn't have the usual strong red meat taste. I also tried the charcoal-grilled dishes, including charcoal-grilled Oyama chicken and eringi mushrooms. The Oyama chicken came with a Caesar salad-style assortment, and the chicken was tasty with a nice crispy skin. Personally, I found the salad to be very delicious. The eringi mushrooms were also tasty, served with grated daikon radish and ponzu sauce, offering a light and refreshing flavor. I also had some cold tofu, which was flavorful and firm, served with a dashi salt seasoning that enhanced the taste. The sake selection included familiar brands and possibly some exclusive ones, but the prices ranged from 680 to 980 yen per serving, so it may not be the most cost-effective option. I tried the Bijofu and Suigei sakes, with the Suigei being particularly delicious. For dessert, I had grilled rice balls and sea bream miso soup. The grilled rice balls were carefully cooked over charcoal, crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, with a nice sprinkle of bonito flakes. The accompanying pickled Chinese cabbage was also delicious. The sea bream miso soup was served in a small bowl with a piece of sea bream, more like a clear soup than a rich broth. It was tasty but lacked the full flavor of sea bream, focusing more on the soup itself. Overall, the food was delicious, and the sake selection was good, but there seemed to be a significant gap between portion sizes and prices. With all the dishes I ordered, I expected the total bill to be over 6000 yen.

Each dish was carefully prepared with no disappointments in taste. I hope this restaurant continues for a long time.

I felt comfortable at this calm restaurant and I liked it. I want to go there again.

The food is delicious and well-prepared, but the portion size is fatally lacking. The chestnut and crab soup with Inaniwa udon are worth getting seconds of.

A casual dining restaurant.

After leaving "Kinpachi-san," I walked for about a minute and stumbled upon a white light in an extremely deserted and dark alley. According to the shop sign, there are about 5 more shops ahead. The interior of the shop exudes a traditional Japanese atmosphere, with a kitchen on the left, a wide counter with 12 seats in front, and a raised kotatsu seating area with 4 seats in the back. The place is run by a mature owner and a young man and woman, a team of three. The menu seems to focus on seafood. I started with a fancy appetizer and a draft beer. I ordered a sashimi platter, grilled salted angel prawns, and grilled clams with soy sauce. The sashimi platter consisted of tuna, amberjack, and flounder. The tuna and amberjack were served with wasabi soy sauce, while the flounder came with salt on the side. The portions were small, so they disappeared quickly, making it hard to fully appreciate the flavors. I ordered another draft beer. The grilled salted angel prawns were delicious, especially the head part with its flavorful miso. I switched to sake and ordered a "Michinaga on the rocks," a light and refreshing drink that goes well with any dish. My companion ordered the grilled clams with soy sauce, which were plump and juicy with a taste of the sea. I ordered another sake on the rocks and the "crunchy mentaiko," which was a unique dish with finely shredded potatoes mixed with spicy cod roe. It had a great texture and a distinct flavor. The service was attentive. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience. Now, let's head to the third place. Personal note: Wheelchair accessibility is limited, no parking available.

Takabashi Ramen is a hidden gem located to the right of the north exit of Moriguchi Station. It has been a few years since my last visit. The owner used to work at nearby restaurant "Hi no Ya On," and has now opened their own place. I ordered sake and ankimo (monkfish liver). The ankimo was soft and melted on the tongue. It had a hint of cream cheese flavor, but it was unmistakably ankimo. Unfortunately, I had to leave before completing my review as I realized my wallet was nearly empty. Therefore, I will have to withhold my rating for now. However, based on past experiences, I am confident that this place deserves a decent rating.

We were wandering around looking for a place for our second party, and ended up at a restaurant without a reservation. There were 5 of us, and we ordered sashimi. Even though we had just taken a bite, we couldn't help but exclaim, "It's delicious!" After about a month, we decided to make a reservation and visited the restaurant with 3 people. It was a lovely place, and my friends also liked it. Each of us ordered what we wanted to eat, and we all enjoyed sharing and tasting each other's dishes. Everything was delicious!

An izakaya located at the north exit of Moriguchi Station. While there are many chain restaurants near the station, there are also many good restaurants a little further away. I visited this place on a friend's recommendation. The fish and vegetables were delicious, and they had a decent selection of drinks. My friend who loves sake was very happy. It was convenient to be able to order while getting recommendations from the staff across the counter. However, I felt that some dishes were a bit small for the price. The fish was delicious and the atmosphere was nice, so there were many women at the restaurant.

Located a 3-minute walk from the north side rotary of Moriguchi Station. It is in a residential area just off the main street. The restaurant has a traditional Japanese atmosphere with a counter at the entrance and private rooms in the back. I sat at the counter and ordered a beer. The staff, dressed in traditional chef's attire, were very attentive. We had assorted appetizers, shrimp, okra and yam, sashimi platter, lotus root manju, shrimp bread, and four beers. The sashimi was delicious, especially the tuna. The staff recommended eating the sea bream with salt, which was interesting but I preferred soy sauce. The lotus root manju was a favorite of mine, with a refined taste and a touch of elegance. The shrimp bread was also a standout, with a crispy exterior and flavorful mayonnaise. Overall, the food was of high quality and I look forward to visiting this restaurant again in the future. Thank you for the meal!

A friend who was interested in a certain restaurant brought me along from Kanagawa to play. I just followed from the station in Hirakata, so I don't remember the way, but it's in a residential area, wondering if it's really ahead. In such a residential area, when I entered the restaurant, there were three young staff members and one man who seemed to be the manager. They greeted me very energetically and it felt good. There were already two people at the counter seats, and we were guided to a slightly distant table. Behind us were shochu and sake lined up, which caught my interest. I started with a lemon sour. The rest was left to my friend. Live oysters, grilled oysters, turban shells, and tongue stew. While drinking and chatting, more customers kept coming in and before I knew it, the counter was full. The seats were close together, so there was a great atmosphere! (Which made the alcohol go down smoothly!) I wanted to eat more sashimi, but that will have to wait until next time. We had plans for a second place to visit. I will visit again when I come to Osaka next time.

Five colleagues from work used this restaurant. The place is located near Keihan Hirakatashi Station, but on a slightly lonely street, so you might get lost if you don't check the map carefully. I think this place is located on an old highway... The fish, which is carefully selected for its quality, is delicious! That's why the place was very crowded. Even though they were busy, the staff's service was very good. It's a good place to enjoy natural seafood in a casual atmosphere. The only downside was that it was a course with all-you-can-drink. Since I wasn't the organizer, it was a bit tough to handle the volume with such quality ingredients. (It might be just right for a group of women) I recommend enjoying your favorite sake while ordering dishes one by one at a place like this.

I went to Ichigoichie in Neyagawa the other day!! I was told they also have a location in Hirakata, so I decided to go there right away!! They said it's a 3-minute walk from the station, but with the flyer in hand, it took me 5 minutes... 10 minutes... I was completely lost!! I decided to call and ask for directions. The staff kindly came to meet me at the station! Thank you very much. And then I followed them... huh!! The store is here!! It was a bit surprising to see a light in a residential area. Inside, there was a long counter (probably about 12 seats) and a tatami room with about 26 seats at the back. The food was focused on fish and shellfish, just like the Neyagawa store!! I ordered the assorted sashimi to start with!! It was delicious as expected!! I realized how tasty sashimi can be!! Both the Neyagawa and Hirakata stores are full of energy and you can feel their liveliness. They also offer course meals, so next time I will enjoy a course meal!! Thank you for the meal!!

The workplace is nearby so I've been there a few times, and the seafood and shochu are abundant and delicious! The sashimi is fresh and tasty~! I also tried a few kinds of sake, all of which were easy to drink and paired well with the food. Ichigoichie is a small restaurant but the staff is great and it's always bustling with customers. It might be a good idea to make a reservation! The prices are not cheap, but I always leave completely satisfied so it's worth it (lol). I want to go back again and again, it's one of my favorite restaurants. I can confidently take anyone there (・∀・)ﾉ The grilled turban shell and dashi tomato are amazing, you should definitely try them (´∀｀) If you love fish and shochu, this place is a must-visit! Ah, now I feel like going there again (lol).

I never expected to find this place here! It's located in a slightly dim and narrow alley, so I was a bit scared the first time I went, but once you get used to it, it's fine. They specialize in selling fresh, natural seafood and shellfish. As soon as you enter, there's a counter, and further inside, there seems to be a tatami area (though I've never sat there). It's a lively and friendly atmosphere, and you can really feel the energy from the staff. Even if you're a girl like me going in alone, it's totally fine. They have a great selection of Japanese sake and shochu, with some unique options available. The lineup of alcohol changes each time I visit, which makes it fun. If you tell the staff your preferences, they'll recommend the perfect drink for you, so even beginners can feel at ease. One of their classic menu items, Kuro Ryu Ichirai, was just right for my taste, and I was so grateful to the staff member who recommended it. If you love seafood and Japanese sake or shochu, be sure to check this place out.

The place is located down a narrow alley, giving it a hidden and cozy atmosphere. The shop itself feels welcoming and warm. They have a variety of drinks, and I particularly enjoyed the fruit wine. The food was delicious no matter what we ordered, and the three of us women ended up overeating because everything looked so tempting. The charcoal-grilled dishes were especially tasty, and the salt-grilled mackerel was amazing with its fatty flavor. I also recommend the shellfish. I sat in the back private room, which was very calm and perfect for dining. Next time, I want to sit at the counter and watch the chefs prepare the food while enjoying a drink!
