After a live performance at Yanmar Stadium, I wandered around looking for a place to eat, but all the nearby restaurants were full. I decided to walk one station over to Nishitanabe, where I found a restaurant with a sign that read "motsunabe". It wasn't even cold outside, but I thought, why not? I ordered motsunabe and horse sashimi. The motsunabe was light and delicious, and I enjoyed it a lot. The horse sashimi wasn't frozen (some places don't thaw it properly), and it was also tasty. The restaurant was playing music from the artist who had performed at Yanmar Stadium that day, which added to the lively atmosphere. The staff were friendly, and even though I don't usually come to this area, I would definitely visit this restaurant again when I'm in the neighborhood.

Eating tour in Nishitanabe, Osaka. The second stop was at Motsunabe Issho. It was located next to the hormone izakaya we went to earlier. It's like they're parallel to each other. We entered the restaurant at 7:30 PM, but it was empty... Maybe because of the influence of the coronavirus... I hope it ends soon. Motsunabe costs 980 yen per serving, which is really cheap. It's a fair and honest restaurant. There were two of us, so we ordered two servings, and the portion was really good. The soup was a bit light in flavor. The other dish we ordered was also good. It was a nice place to relax.

After returning to Osaka, I cleaned the air conditioner at home. Tomorrow, I will finish up the bath and water areas with a Karcher and leave Osaka by noon. My wife finished work and came home, so we decided to casually visit a nearby motsunabe (offal hot pot) restaurant. We ordered motsunabe with toppings of pork belly and chicken meatballs, along with some side dishes. The menu included dishes like simmered pork cartilage, fried hormone (offal), and butter-sautéed various mushrooms, which were all perfect for drinking. The amount of offal in the motsunabe was a bit small, but that's understandable as the cost of ingredients remains high. The light and clean restaurant had a cozy atmosphere.

The sense of taste is excellent! Even though I don't eat hot pot, I sometimes go there with an izakaya feeling! They offer hot pot starting from one serving, and it's a place with a fair and reasonable menu without any disappointing dishes!

After a long time, I made a casual stop! I had my usual motsunabe - cabbage, garlic, leeks, and of course, that's the way to go! Today, I also had some fried chicken and finished with ramen! Oh man, it was delicious! But man, it was crowded! This place is popular!

Today, I went to eat motsunabe again! It's getting colder, so hot pot is delicious! I sat at the counter and ordered motsunabe and a draft beer! First, the draft beer - it's so good after work! The potato salad appetizer is also delicious! Then, the motsunabe arrived! I carefully heated it up and enjoyed it! The cabbage, bean sprouts, and motsu were all delicious! It's great to be able to eat vegetables and enjoy them! I also added pork belly during the meal, and ordered dried curly noodles at the end! The ramen was good too, but this was also great! It was delicious! Above all, every time I ordered, the master would reply with a polite "Thank you." It's a warm and welcoming restaurant!

Visited Nishitanabe + Tsurugaoka Bar. There were about 4 groups waiting in front of the store, as the dishes are hot pot which takes time. The bar menu includes motsu nabe, hormone karaage, and drinks. The motsu nabe portion is quite generous for one person. It's really worth it. I didn't have high expectations as it's located along a main street, but the soup, garlic chives, and motsu were all great. The light soup was very soothing. The staff were also nice, so I've decided to revisit this place. It's rare to find a bar you want to come back to, so I'm glad I discovered this place.

I have been visiting this restaurant every year since my business trip three years ago. I am drawn to the taste and the personality of the chef, and I always make sure to stop by when I visit Osaka once a year. I seem to enjoy everything I eat here, and even though I usually don't like motsu dishes, I find the motsu here delicious. If this restaurant were near my home, I would definitely visit 1-2 times a month. I highly recommend this place, and this is my first time posting a review. I am looking forward to visiting again next year.

It's a dream-like shop where you can eat both Nyanko and motsunabe! The motsunabe, as well as the horse sashimi and all the other dishes, were delicious! (Cats are allowed inside)

A pet-friendly restaurant where you can enjoy delicious motsunabe with your dog. The atmosphere was very cozy and comfortable.

On March 25, 2017, I visited Namba Station and took the Midosuji Line subway to Nishitanabe Station where my hotel for the night was located. As I walked along Abiko Street towards the hotel, I noticed several izakaya and yakitori restaurants. I tried to peek into a few of them, but they were crowded, so I ended up at "Motsunabe Issho," a newly opened restaurant that wasn't even listed on Tabelog yet. The young chef and his wife, along with a female part-time staff member, were running the place. I sat at the counter and was impressed by their excellent customer service, which already made my travel experience more enjoyable. I started with a lemon chu-hi to quench my thirst, and we were served kinpira gobou and fried squid legs as appetizers. For the main course, I ordered the signature dish "motsunabe," as well as "Amakusa Daio's Yukke" made with raw chicken and "Butter-fried shimeji, enoki, and maitake mushrooms." The Amakusa Daio's Yukke was delicious, especially when mixed with the egg yolk and onion slices. Next, the butter-fried mushrooms were a steal at only 400 yen and packed with flavor. Finally, the motsunabe arrived, and the broth was light and tasty, complementing the sweet cabbage and tender beef offal perfectly. The portion was generous, and I couldn't resist ordering the additional Chinese noodles to finish off the meal. Overall, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and I was thoroughly impressed with the restaurant. I will definitely be returning in the future. It was a truly satisfying dining experience. Thank you for the meal!

After work, I made a detour to a shop I had been curious about for a while! I love motsunabe, so I couldn't resist and decided to go. I entered the shop, sat at the counter, and ordered a serving of motsunabe and a draft beer! I was served lotus root kinpira and spicy konnyaku as a complimentary appetizer! Delicious! It goes well with beer! After a while, the motsunabe arrived! It was quite generous in portion! I heated it on the stove until the bean sprouts and garlic chives softened, then it was ready to eat. First, I took a sip of the soup! It was light and tasty! Then, I tried the bean sprouts, cabbage, and garlic chives! They mixed well with the soup and were delicious! The motsu was chewy and tasty! The red pepper and garlic added a nice touch! I added yuzu pepper along the way, and it was so good! I enjoyed the soup a lot. Finally, I added ramen noodles to finish off the meal! The ramen noodles were firm and delicious! You can also enjoy a variety of side dishes, shochu, and sake! It's a great place to dine alone or with a large group! Next time, I'll try the pork belly hot pot! I might come here quite often this winter!
