Dinner time at the izakaya "Shinsen Dokoro Totoro" in Shinmachi 2-chome. This restaurant, which I have visited a few times while Tabelog is on break, is run by an elderly couple who work together. Celebrities also visit this place, and the late Haruma Miura used to frequent this restaurant whenever he came to Osaka. The kind owner shares heartwarming stories about Miura-san. We started with a highball and shochu high, cheers! Tonight, we had cucumber pickles, fresh squid sashimi, grilled chicken thighs, fried goby fish, and onigiri. All the dishes made by the owner were delicious, and the freshness of the sashimi was outstanding. In the latter half of the meal, we enjoyed a glass of wine and had a relaxing dinner, feeling good once again tonight. The restaurant only has table seating, but it's okay to dine alone. Please note that they do not accept credit cards. It's a cozy and welcoming izakaya. Thank you for the meal.

I visited Totoro for the first time with my dining companions to enjoy some delicious food! We came here with the intention of trying the Ankimo liver hot pot. Before the main hot pot arrived, we were served a fresh assortment of five different cuts of horse sashimi. It was a rare selection and we could feel the restaurant's dedication to quality. The soy sauce served with the sashimi was specifically for horse meat, enhancing the sweetness of the meat. Then, the main dish, the Ankimo liver hot pot, was served. The soup was truly liver-filled! It was so delicious that I couldn't help but have multiple servings of the soup alone! The atmosphere of the restaurant felt like a cozy izakaya with a friendly motherly figure present, but the food was outstanding! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

We used the company's farewell party as an opportunity to make a reservation at this restaurant! We booked the Ankimo Liver Course. I couldn't forget the memories of eating dobu-nabe at this restaurant about 10 years ago, so I chose this place this time! We started with a platter of horse sashimi! It was the most delicious horse sashimi I've ever had, with a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. And then grilled oysters, the oyster tempura was also very large and very filling. And of course, the ankou nabe. The ankou liver was plentiful and you could eat as much as you wanted, a very satisfying hot pot!

When it comes to cold weather, it's all about hot pot. But even in hot weather, hot pot! I want to say that the cost performance and deliciousness are so good that I want to boldly declare it. The first visit was when the desire to eat monkfish liver to my heart's content emerged. Monkfish liver, along with blowfish sperm, is considered a delicious delicacy, but if the cooking goes wrong, it can turn into something awkward or rubbery. It's a truly deep ingredient. The visited restaurant "Totoro" is rumored to be a top-notch place for monkfish liver hot pot. I was looking forward to it. Now, I enjoy the dishes leading up to the main monkfish liver hot pot. The oysters are delicious. The main monkfish liver hot pot is a "flood of flavor." It's just so delicious. Endlessly delicious. The female owner and her husband are both friendly and kind people. They have a nice selection of Japanese sake. I want to go back again because they have various hot pots depending on the season.

It was cold and we were all excited about wanting to eat hot pot. We stumbled upon a restaurant called "Totoro" that changes its specialty hot pot seasonally. Currently, they are serving anglerfish hot pot which we reserved in advance. The hot pot had a rich and flavorful soup filled with anglerfish liver, it was amazing! It was not the light and refreshing vegetable-based hot pot, but a hearty anglerfish hot pot. Thank you for the delicious meal, we will definitely be back again.

On the final night of the 3-day holiday in October, I decided to have dinner in the neighborhood around Nishi-Ohashi to Nishi-Nagahori, in the middle of Nishimachi 2-chome. Surprisingly, there were quite a few open restaurants, and I visited a place I hadn't been to in a long time, about 20 years - Totoro. This restaurant specializes in horse and fish dishes and has a newly renovated interior. We started with a toast of draft beer (Sapporo) and were served with okara and simmered daikon as appetizers. Then, we ordered black soybeans, a platter of three kinds of pickled fish (sardine, horse mackerel, and mackerel), pickled Chinese cabbage, grilled beef intestines, stir-fried chicken tenderloin with black pepper, cherry blossom yukhoe, grilled udon noodles, and two glasses of Kirishima Yoshisuke (black) shochu. The couple who run the restaurant have been in business for about 25 years, and the wife manages the place efficiently and attentively. It was a delicious meal.

Good evening, this is Chai. The Mambo is still in effect, but this time alcohol is allowed, and during the cold winter season, hot pot is the way to go. This time, I visited "Shinsen Dokoro Totoro," known for its hot pot filled with monkfish liver. 1. Miura Haruma also visited If you head west from Shinsaibashi, the nearest station on the Osaka Metro would be Nishi-Ohashi Station on the Nagahori Tsurumi Ryokuchi Line. It might be easier to take the subway one stop from Shinsaibashi Station. It seems that the late Miura Haruma liked this place. First, we were served with macaroni salad and potato salad as appetizers. 2. Monkfish Liver Hot Pot This is the monkfish liver hot pot before the broth is heated. The brown bits floating on top are the monkfish liver. This is the monkfish meat before being added to the pot. It looks fresh. 3. Horse Sashimi and Grilled Chicken Before the hot pot was ready, we ordered horse sashimi from Kumamoto. We also had a mix of grilled chicken from Miyazaki. 4. Hot Pot Ready Once the hot pot started boiling, it looked delicious. We transferred it to a bowl and enjoyed the monkfish liver and meat. It's full of collagen. Including drinks, it cost around 8,000 yen per person, from 6 pm to midnight. For reservations: 06-6539-7216 Address: Osaka City, Nishi-ku, Shinmachi 2-17-10

I visited the restaurant because I heard their anglerfish hot pot is delicious. We ordered anglerfish hot pot, horse sashimi, and oysters. The ingredients were fresh and tasty, but the bill came to 35,000 yen for 3 people eating and drinking. It's a bit expensive.

The rich anglerfish liver hot pot. The soup was incredibly delicious, but the anglerfish meat had a slight smell which was disappointing. The soup alone was delicious enough. Horse meat is also available, but it requires thawing, so it takes time to be served...

The food, anglerfish hot pot, was delicious! The only downside was that the glasses smelled fishy.

I had anglerfish liver hot pot again this year. It's the best.

After a long time, I had a hot pot full of ingredients. It was really delicious.

During my time working in Osaka, I often went to this restaurant with my senior colleagues! It is run by a married couple! The freshness of the ingredients is incredible! Horse meat, oysters! Everything is top-notch!

"#MiuraHaruma" also visited the popular restaurant "Fresh To Toro" in Nishi-Ohashi, known only to those in the know. There's also a "foie gras hot pot" restaurant in Osaka!! Tokyo has "Toyotaya," "Hotisan," "Kaki Seafood Kairi," and Sendai has "Saitaro," but Osaka is not behind. What we had this time is as follows: - Ankou Liver Hot Pot ¥3,800 (per person) + Udon noodles and rice porridge - Oyster Wasabi ¥600 - 2 fresh oysters ¥450 each - Chicken tataki ¥800 - Horse liver sashimi ¥1,500 - Kyoto's Yuba as a side dish The sea foie gras is irresistible. Enjoy the rich soup filled with ankou liver, along with plenty of ankou meat and vegetables. Liver floating on top~♪ The soft and fluffy ankou meat soaked in the soup with the richness and sweetness of the liver, as well as the sweetness and umami of the vegetables. It's amazing. Finish with either udon noodles or rice porridge, or both. Of course, both. Add rice, beaten egg, turn off the heat, wait for 3 minutes, add green onions, mix, and it's done!! The concentrated umami in the rice porridge is the best. Incredibly delicious. Enjoy the flavor of the ankou to the fullest. You can also have "horse meat dishes" from Kumamoto and "oyster dishes" from Hiroshima. There are huge oysters in the tank. You can have them raw, with wasabi, or tempura. Horse sashimi and horse liver sashimi are also available, which is great. March is "kue hot pot" time. Can't resist it. The "oyster embankment hot pot" looks so delicious. It's exciting to have a variety of hot pot ingredients piled up. I will definitely visit again. #Food in my stomach #Osaka area #Nishi-Ohashi area (2018.02.13.)

Once again, I stopped by Shinmachi on my way home from work (laughs). I'm starting to drink while it's still bright out~◎ At first glance, the interior looks quite cluttered (^_^;) but upon closer inspection, it was actually quite clean and had a sense of cleanliness. The atmosphere of being in business for many years is evident. There's a TV, so even if you're dining alone, you can relax!◎ The lady serving was very kind, and the owner was cooking. They both explained the dishes very carefully. They seem to have a lot of attention to detail in their sourcing and such, so you can expect good things. Now, let's start with a draft beer, ahh~ I'll order that thing I came for.■Appetizers・Spicy SaladThe idea of eating raw food is a bit off-putting (sweat) I had it last and it had a homemade feel to it.・Bean Sprout NamulDid they not remove the bean sprout roots before cooking?! It tastes better if you cut the roots, you know (laughs)■Live Firefly Squid SashimiI love firefly squid ♡ I also like eating boiled ones with spicy vinegar miso, but... I prefer them raw!! So, let's eat it with ginger soy sauce.ヾ(*ﾟДﾟ)人(*ﾟдﾟ)ﾉThis is good~ You can tell the freshness is top-notch. It has no strong taste, and you can even faintly taste its sweetness. This goes perfectly with alcohol (laughs)■Horse Liver SashimiI've been waiting for this!! This is why I came here. The appearance has a strong color and luster. When I ordered it, they told me it would take some time, but it came out in about 20 minutes. Dip it in sesame oil & salt and eat it.ヽ(▽￣ )ﾉ/(＿△＿)This is really delicious~ The chewy texture and firmness are exquisite. Even though it's horse liver, which can sometimes have a strong taste, this one has absolutely no unpleasant taste. It might be the most delicious raw liver I've ever had ♡ I wanted to try more things, but the portion size was generous, so I'll stop here!! Let's pay the bill. Wait, how much was the appetizer fee...?? Thank you for the mealヽ(^o^)丿

Hello! Yesterday was the announcement of the Akutagawa Prize, but I would like to read about Yūkiko Motoya's marriage feelings. Now, I made a reservation for monkfish hot pot at Totoro in Shinmachi the other day. Monkfish liver, known as the foie gras of the sea, is said to be the best ingredient for dieting. This time, I started a kind of undercover reporting project. Here is the atmosphere inside the restaurant. The photo is a bit blurry as I'm just starting out. The landlady and the chef (the chef is in the kitchen so I couldn't take a photo) give a very kind impression. They seemed a bit busy probably because the orders were a bit biased. This restaurant seems to have customers from the entertainment industry as well, as the staff from "Gobugobu" seem to visit. The restaurant provides sheets for dining. It's a bit on the expensive side, haha... The appetizers are ham mayo and bean sprout namul. The namul is homemade. This is the monkfish hot pot!! It's for two people but quite a large portion. It's not a monkfish hot pot, but a monk liver hot pot!!! The soup is rich with liver. It's a rich soup filled with monk liver. It's a bit too rich, but restaurants that value such ingredients probably highlight this kind of broth. There are plenty of mushroom-based vegetables, which blend well with the liver soup. The monkfish meat is soft and fluffy, and delicious. The liver flavor is strong, so it goes well with alcohol. A slightly light alcohol would be nice, haha... A "Gobugobu" sake? There is also a "Gobugobu" sticker on it, so no problem, haha. This is the restroom of the restaurant. It has a slightly dirty atmosphere, maybe because it's an old building, but it's cleaned properly. It's like Totoro, haha. It seems to be the landlady's hobby... She seems to like cats. There were no cats inside the restaurant, so don't worry. The inside of the restaurant is filled with many signs. It was a nice restaurant run by a lovely couple with a strong and rich taste, so in terms of taste alone, I would rate it as average, but I would like to try their other dishes like horse sashimi again. The total payment amount was 11,000 yen for two people.
