Second stop of the day for solo drinking after parting ways from the first stop: - Assorted sashimi plate (5 kinds) for 699 yen - Fried bamboo shoots with potato salad inside for 399 yen - Gyoza for 399 yen - Mega highball for 499 yen - Mega shochu highball for 499 yen Total amount including tax: 2,730 yen The gyoza wasn't tasty, but I was satisfied with everything else (laughs) #KaisenYataiOkuman #TosaboriBranch #17 pieces of sashimi for 699 yen

This time it was work-related, so no photos. I visited because it was near the hotel. There were various seafood snacks available at a very reasonable price! Can you believe they had draft beer for only 299 yen? It was so cheap! Thank you for the meal.

It was cheap, delicious, and amazing. Thank you for a fun time.

The flow from the informal discussion was good. In any case, it's cheap. I drank quite a bit and it only cost 2200 yen. The sashimi was also not bad. I want one near my company.

Cheap

Tempura is supposed to be their specialty, but it was too greasy.

The work was delayed, so after eating in Kitahama, I decided to stop by Awaza. It was almost time for the date to change. I looked around for one more place to drink, but all the other shops were closed. Only a yakitori restaurant, a bar, and this place were still open. I decided to try this place that I had never been to before. Despite the late hour, it was surprisingly busy. I ordered Kanpachi sashimi for 380 yen, rolled omelette for 280 yen, tempura such as asparagus for 190 yen and shrimp for 190 yen, lotus root for 100 yen, and two pieces of salt-grilled Yurinomai for 380 yen. The two staff members seemed tired, but they still greeted me with a smile when we talked. We sat at the counter, which was not in the best condition and made me a bit uncomfortable in terms of hygiene. Among the various seafood izakayas, this one had a relatively low price setting. The quality matched the price. Oh, and the rolled omelette was delicious. There is room for improvement, but for now, I don't think I will be visiting again. Thank you for the meal!

From Aboza Station, heading north on Shin-Naniwa Street, there is a seafood izakaya. The menu mainly consists of seafood dishes, but for some reason, tempura is also a specialty. And with the tempura, you get a mountain of grated daikon radish... it feels like there was a place like this somewhere (laughs). These types of seafood izakayas have been popping up like mushrooms after the rain recently, but the pioneer in this field is Tottsan. Tottsan is famous for serving tempura along with seafood dishes, and it looks almost identical to this place. The only difference is that the grated daikon radish with the tempura here is a bit coarser. However, the texture is still good and nice. This time, we tried the tempura along with sashimi, grilled dishes, simmered dishes, and fried chicken. The photo I took was of the tuna sashimi, which was priced at 380 yen for that amount, so it's not bad. The rest of the dishes were pretty standard izakaya fare. The sashimi and tempura were delicious, so that's a plus, but you can't help but notice the similarities with Tottsan, which affects the overall rating. (2013.04.15)◇◇ This time (or rather, the second time I've visited this place, including visits to other branches), I visited as the second stop after eating and drinking moderately. So, I decided to skip the specialty dish of this place, tempura, as I didn't want something too heavy on my stomach. I started with a hot sake as it was winter and I had already consumed quite a bit of beer at the first stop. For food, the sashimi and fried small shrimp were decent, the salad was average, edamame and potato fries were slightly below average. The blowfish skin with ponzu sauce... I personally didn't like it. One of my companions also didn't like it, but the other one enjoyed it and finished everything, so I guess tastes differ. The most divisive dish was the grilled tuna collar; personally, I found it mediocre, but some people were happy with it considering the price and size. However, without the tempura, the overall satisfaction with the food decreased. The satisfaction level this time was on par with the previous visit, where I had excluded the tempura from the rating as it resembled Tottsan's tempura. The atmosphere is still clean and unchanged from the last visit, and there is a counter, but it seems more suitable for groups of two or three. The interior is still neat, unlike the slightly run-down and paper-thin atmosphere of Tottsan. It still feels welcoming for a date, especially for couples who are already close. I wrote the updated text, but couldn't find the photos... oh well. (2015.10.28) ◇◇

There is a izakaya near my home that stays open late, and I had been curious about it for a while so I finally went. The cost performance is amazing! Even though it was late at night, the place was full of customers, including many regulars. Despite the late hour, the staff were all energetic and the atmosphere was lively. I planned to just stop by quickly, but there were so many menu options that I ended up eating a lot. The food was delicious, the drinks were flowing nicely, and the bill was surprisingly cheap. I feel almost guilty. Thank you for the meal.

Well, tonight I feel like going out again. This place is a lively restaurant with lots of fishermen's flags waving. Everyone seems to be having a good time eating and drinking. The affordable prices make it easy to visit. It's a place where you can enjoy a hearty meal of fresh fish and plenty of tempura. The energetic staff makes it perfect for a first drink of the night. If you just want to drink and eat normally, this place is cheap. It's a good vibe. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the seafood stall Okuman in Tosabori that I had been curious about for a while. I was a little worried about the fishy smell, but it wasn't too bad once inside. The menu had a variety of affordable sashimi dishes. I tried the red snapper sashimi, which was delicious, and also had some grilled saury, a must-eat in autumn. I left feeling full after having two glasses of beer, and the total bill was just a little over 2,000 yen. If you're looking to save money while enjoying a good meal and drinks, I recommend this place. If you want to eat something a bit nicer, the sashimi at this stall is highly recommended.

[August 2021, 5th visit] Always seems to be full. But this day, there was a seat available at the counter. The quality of the bluefin tuna here is surprisingly good for the price. [December 2020, 2nd visit] It's been about 8 years since my last visit. The impression has changed. The quality has improved. The service is still friendly and welcoming. There are several branches, but I can feel the evolution. The prices are just so cheap. Bluefin tuna sashimi for 399 yen, blowfish tempura for 499 yen, potato salad croquette for 399 yen, shirasu with grated radish for 199 yen, pickled vegetables for 399 yen. [April 2012, first visit] A seafood stall with a beach house-like interior. Seafood izakayas like this might be reaching saturation soon, right? There are so many of them now. Maybe it was about two years ago when they were at their peak. The prices here range from 280 yen to 780 yen for dishes like sashimi and other items. I visited alone this time. I sat at the counter and ordered a draft beer for 350 yen. The two male staff members were energetically running the place. Their friendly and lively demeanor set the atmosphere of the restaurant. I had the potato salad for 280 yen, a decent portion for the price. The spring vegetable tempura for 380 yen was mostly chrysanthemum greens. It looked like a lot, but that's probably what you get. The seared golden threadfin bream for 480 yen was a bit small, but considering the cost, it's understandable. The grilled kamasu fish for 380 yen was the best dish. The amberjack sashimi for 380 yen was okay, no comment. Well, in this kind of establishment, the cost performance is crucial, so it's not bad, right? And then I had the black mist for 280 yen and drank it down. It's so cheap that I end up drinking a lot. This place is one where I need to be careful.

On this day, after work, I went to various shops but they were all crowded and I couldn't get in. Maybe I should have gone to my usual place... But then, I decided to take a chance and walked to the nearest station. As I approached, a lot of people were coming out of the shop - "This is my chance!" I thought. Inside the shop, there was a counter, so I confidently walked in. I was greeted loudly from all directions with "Welcome!" and was shown to the counter. There were two other solo diners there. As soon as I looked at the menu, I knew what I wanted - "Bacon," "Tomato," and a beer. It came out quickly. I then ordered "Fish collar" and another beer, which took a bit longer to cook but was worth the wait. Finally, I ordered "Mackerel sushi rolls" - delicious and affordable. I ordered too much and ended up feeling full, but I will definitely come back. Next time, I'll try the sashimi. That's all!

Today I came here with the intention of drinking a lot. Yes, the prices are generally reasonable. Sashimi is priced at 380 yen per piece. Cheap! But they are a bit small. The freshness is quite good. I prefer the shimesaba to be soaked a bit more. When I ordered tempura, it took quite a long time to come out. Maybe I ordered too much. It was just delicious. It's a bit tiring to sit for a long time without a backrest on the chair. Maybe not suitable for elderly people. For me, the atmosphere, food, prices are quite satisfactory. It seems like they are emphasizing even more on the cheapness for repeat visits. Amazing.

Oh, I just realized this is my third review, but I can't find my previous ones. How strange, I'm sure I posted twice before. Oh, I see, I accidentally posted about Awaza Higashi store last time. Anyway, this place is near my favorite hotel, so I usually stop by here after losing weight at the hotel. When I entered, I noticed there were two female solo diners at the counter, which was unusual. I ordered sashimi and my first glass of draft beer while waiting. The lady next to me was engrossed in her phone and drinking. It's common when dining alone, and I do the same. I ordered potato salad while waiting for my food. When my second glass of draft beer arrived, I decided to strike up a conversation with the lady next to me. She responded warmly, and we had a pleasant time chatting. She mentioned she had a record of drinking 3 liters of beer during home drinking sessions, which surprised me. I ordered fried squid as well, as this place never disappoints and is a reliable choice. When it was time to pay, I asked the staff not to raise prices in the future. They mentioned they actually recently raised prices a bit, from, for example, 80 yen to 99 yen. Even so, I will definitely come back. I hope to see that lady again next time. In total, I had 4 glasses of draft beer, a five-piece sashimi platter, potato salad, and fried squid, which came to 2860 yen.

I was looking for a place where I could have a drink as usual, and after wandering around, I stumbled upon this shop! I entered without knowing what it was like, and found a long, narrow shop with tables in the front, a counter in the middle, and a tatami room in the back. The menu had a wide variety of dishes, mostly seafood-based, but also included tempura, fried cutlets, grilled dishes, and even exotic items like sea cucumber and monkfish liver. And the best part is that everything is so cheap! The average price is less than 350 yen, so you can try many different dishes without breaking the bank. The drinks are also inexpensive. Despite the wide variety of dishes, everything we ordered was consistently good.

I went to this seafood izakaya with my subordinates in the Edobori and Awaza area for work. They have been working late recently, so I offered to treat them to a drink, and they requested a fish dish. I had visited this cheap seafood izakaya shortly after it opened. They have various menu items priced around 300 yen. The sashimi is also around 500 yen. The portions are small, more like thinly sliced than small pieces. It's suitable for casual drinking. We ordered sashimi and tempura. The young man enjoyed his tempura with black shochu on the rocks. I had hot sake with my sashimi. It's great that they eat heartily, considering the low prices.

I recently found a nice izakaya near Awaza area. The place that caught my eye was Okuman, which mainly serves seafood dishes like sazae no tsuboyaki, asari no sakamushi, and various sashimi. They also have a corner for daily service items, like grilled squid with butter for 100 yen! Last time I went, they had potato salad for 100 yen. They also offer tempura, yakisoba, and rice dishes for a satisfying meal. The prices are very reasonable, and the dishes are fresh and well-prepared. I always end up getting full before trying all the options. I'll definitely go back again. Thank you for the meal!
