テオテオ♪
- It's a 4-minute walk west from the south exit of Yotsubashi Station on the Osaka Metro, in Kita-Horie. I went to an izakaya where they are good at fish dishes, invited by a friend. The interior of the restaurant is bright and clean, with a sense of cleanliness. They have counter seats, table seats, and semi-private rooms. We sat in a semi-private room and started with a draft beer. The Suntory Premium (Kamihaba) for ¥600 was refreshing with a rich aroma of aroma hops. We ordered the "Uogashieen Course" for ¥8,500 (7 items), which requires a reservation in advance. The contents may vary depending on the season and ingredients.
- Appetizers (upper): 1) Conger eel bladder - crispy and delicious, 2) Sesame tofu - rich sesame flavor, 3) Salmon roe rice - consistently tasty, 4) Kegani crab - the crab meat, innards, and crab miso were amazing.
- Assorted sashimi (upper): Sea bream, octopus, sea urchin, conger eel, squid, bonito tataki, sardine, cutlassfish, scallop, oyster, rock oyster - each piece was too big to eat in one bite.
- Seasonal vegetables: Izumi eggplant, Shizuoka Amelato tomato - the eggplant had a silky texture and the tomato was sweet like a fruit.
- Grilled abalone and octopus, seasonal hot dish: Pumpkin potage with shrimp and white dumplings.
- Tempura or fried chicken: 1) Long green pepper, 2) Higashino fig, 3) Conger eel from Tokushima - all delicious.
- Sushi for the main dish: Bonito, cutlassfish, fatty tuna with sea urchin - the cutlassfish was BIG size.
- Rare sake and local sake at reasonable prices, such as Kikuma from Nara for ¥770 (unfiltered raw sake, dry junmai ginjo) - goes well with fish dishes.
- Overall, the course menu was great, but I would like to visit again for a la carte options. They have a wide variety of dishes, and I want to try the grilled dishes and pair them with sake. I definitely want to order the crab and abalone again.
