Today's lunch was at "O Fish Restaurant Kotaya" in Shinhamacho, Izumisano City. Last time I had the seafood bowl, but this time I was curious about other items on the menu. I arrived before the opening and wrote my name, number of people, and phone number on the board outside, then waited. The restaurant opened soon after. I ordered using a tablet. I ordered: - Special 15-piece assorted sushi platter for 3278 yen - Clam miso soup for 308 yen x2 Total: 3894 yen (tax included) The assorted sushi platter had a striking visual with various high-quality sushi lined up. The sushi was all fresh and delicious! The clam miso soup was like miso soup but with clams. It was so tasty! Thank you for the meal. On a side note, they only offer sushi platters, so I felt a bit unsatisfied in terms of quantity.

We used it for lunch with two people. It was before 11 o'clock, but there were already several groups waiting in line, so it's better to arrive early. We had sashimi set meal. It was very fresh and delicious. It was delicious for the price.

After fishing with a customer, we visited the restaurant "Kotaya" for the first time. The front entrance of the restaurant is difficult to find, with the exit clearly visible but the entrance not so much. The restaurant opens at 10:00 am and we arrived at 10:30 am, but there were already three groups of customers waiting. We were seated after about 10 minutes, but it seemed like the staff were a bit overwhelmed even though there were empty seats in the restaurant. We ordered the "Dai Gyokai Kaisen-don" using the touch panel for ordering. I don't like salmon in my seafood donburi from a port near the fishing port. The volume of the dish was satisfying, although the price was not particularly cost-effective. Each slice of the fish was thin and large. Thank you for the meal!

I visited a restaurant in Izumisano City, Osaka for lunch on a weekday. Izumisano City is known for having Kansai International Airport, but it used to be a fishing town and fishing is still active there. I ordered the Osaka-style fresh whitebait bowl with tempura and miso soup set for 1,826 yen. The bowl is large so it may look small in the photo, but it was filled with plenty of whitebait. The whitebait was sweet and delicious, especially when mixed with raw egg. The rice was vinegared and tasty. It's a bit difficult to get there without a car, but it's a very delicious restaurant.

The parking lot is spacious and easy to park. I arrived before 12 p.m. on a weekday. There is a wide variety of seafood bowls and the dishes come out quickly. The shirasu bowl is popular. It sold out in just one hour after opening. By 12 p.m., the restaurant is packed with customers. Even if you have to wait, the turnover rate is fast.

Arrived at 11 am on Sunday and there was already a wait of 15 groups, so had to write name and phone number on paper and wait in the car. Grateful for the system where they call you when it's your turn! Waited for about 30-40 minutes before receiving a call to enter. [Order] "Seared Salmon Bowl" for 1,408 yen (tax included) - Decent, nothing special. "Tuna Yukhoe Bowl" for 1,078 yen (tax included) - Generous portion but the Korean-style seasoning with the sweetness of gochujang was a bit too much, honestly didn't need the whole thing. LOL. "Clam Soup (Red Miso)" for 308 yen (tax included) - Simply delicious. If the prices were a bit cheaper, I might come back again.

During the weekday of the Obon holiday, I visited the restaurant. There was a wait of about 30 groups before the lunch peak. I thought it would be quite a long wait since it always seemed crowded, but I was able to enter after about an hour. ---------------------------------- Toro-filled Large Seafood Bowl ¥1,738 (tax included) ---------------------------------- I forgot the price, but for around 350 yen, it came with red miso soup and a small plate of whitebait. It was just a normal red miso soup, so I could have done without it. Next time I go, I thought it might be better to add a clam miso soup since it was around the same price. The seafood bowl was very delicious!!! I understand why there is always a line. The shrimp was especially tasty! The chairs were hard, so you can't stay for long, but it was a very satisfying lunch.

I went to a seafood restaurant rumored to be good. I was interested in the Secret Bowl for 3300 yen, but unfortunately it was sold out. So, I ended up ordering the Three Meals Bowl with rare fresh shirasu that you rarely see. The ikura (salmon roe) was small, but everything else was good. I also ordered the ikura rice bowl, but it was a bit disappointing that the portion was small.

I finally got to go to Kotaya Izumisano because I had some business in Kishiwada - I've been wanting to go for a while! I ordered the fresh shirasu (whitebait) bowl, and they also had fresh oysters so I had to get those too. My friend ordered the three-color shirasu bowl. It's great that they're open at night too! If there was a restaurant like this near my house, I'd be there all the time. #Kotaya Fish Restaurant #fresh shirasu bowl #fresh oysters #seafood dishes #fish dishes #seafood bowl #Izumisano lunch #Izumisano gourmet #delicious #yummy #seafood #Japanese food #instagood #instalike #instapic #instafood #foodporn #foodstagram #foodie #foodphotography #foodpics #followme

I was taken to this restaurant during a business trip. I had fried chicken gatcho, dried squid tempura, and a shirasu (whitebait) set meal. Gatcho is a local specialty here, and the dried squid tempura seems to be familiar in Osaka as it was recommended to me. Both were delicious and made me crave for beer. The tempura in the set meal had shirasu in it, but I couldn't tell if it was fresh or boiled shirasu. It was crispy and tasty. There were fresh shirasu, boiled shirasu, and raw egg available, so I enjoyed eating them all without getting bored. Everything was fresh and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I went to the market in Izumisano in the morning of GW, but I forgot it was Wednesday, and it was closed. So I went to Kotaya, which opens at 11 o'clock! There was a wait for 5 groups, but I was able to sit down right away haha. It was a good decision to line up before opening. I ordered the same thing as last time... Osaka Bay Shirasu Set Meal for ¥1408 and Gatcho Karaage for ¥550. The shirasu is still delicious♡ Last time, there was too much rice and I ended up feeling stuffed, so this time I ordered a smaller portion. The fresh shirasu is tasty without any fishy smell. The onion and shirasu tempura was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and I enjoyed it on top of rice. I ate the boiled shirasu by mixing it with eggs, a luxurious way to enjoy it haha. It was my first time having Gatcho in a while, so we shared it among us. It was crunchy, and if you don't chew it well, there might be an accident in your mouth, so I savored the deliciousness while chewing carefully. Thank you for the meal!

This is a delicious restaurant that serves a bowl with sashimi on top. On this day, for their anniversary event, they added ikura on top of the bowl I ordered. They placed the ikura in front of the bowl, so I couldn't capture the tuna belly in the middle of the flower in the photo (laughs). It was delicious.

【2023.3.19】 Nissho Shirasu Don (Whitebait Bowl) - 1,408 yen (tax included) Anago Tempura Don (Sea eel Tempura Bowl) - 1,188 yen Kamaage Shirasu Don (Boiled Whitebait Bowl) - 968 yen 【2020.5.31】 A new restaurant similar to the popular "Nissho Shirasu Don" shop in Nishiki Wakayama has opened here. However, they are open for both lunch and dinner, so there is no risk of selling out after 12 o'clock. The line is just as long though. You need to line up before they open in the morning or you'll have to wait for 30 minutes. I waited 30 minutes. It was delicious♪♪ I ordered the Nissho Shirasu Don for 980 yen (excluding tax). Thank you for the meal.

Today, I visited the popular seafood restaurant Kotaya in Izumisano, which always has a long line. Before entering, the staff made sure to wash hands, check temperature, and disinfect, so the infection prevention measures were perfect. I indulged a bit with the Toro (fatty tuna) mixed seafood bowl with red miso soup and tempura set for 2156 yen. The seafood bowl looked quite luxurious with a variety of toppings, but the fresh raw shrimp was the most delicious. Overall, it was pretty tasty.

I finally made it to Kotaya! I waited for over an hour, but it was so delicious that I thought the wait was worth it! The menu is so appealing that it's hard to decide. Every fish dish is fresh and tasty. I want to go there at night next time. I want to eat oysters next time.

I learned about this restaurant from a TV program. The video showed various voluminous seafood bowls! The following weekend after watching the program, I found myself heading to Izumisano on the highway alone (laughs). The restaurant is located right next to a pleasant fishing port with a sea breeze. When I arrived a little after 1 pm, I was able to park easily in the spacious parking lot, but my relief was short-lived as there were many people in front of the restaurant! (15-20 groups waiting). However, due to the quick turnover, my name was called in about 40 minutes, and I was seated inside. There was a touch panel placed on the table. I was told, "You can order from here," but I tried to touch it earnestly and got no response (tears)... It turned out the panel was faulty, so I got a replacement and then could order smoothly (laughs). I ordered the carefully selected seared tuna bowl (1408 yen) and clam miso soup (308 yen). It's like a flame... overflowing from the bowl (laughs). But not only in terms of visual appeal, the freshness and taste of the tuna's lean meat were excellent! Considering the portion size, I thought the cost performance was not bad. By the way, you can choose between miso soup and red miso soup for the soup. If you order just miso soup, it will be a separate order, but there are also sets with kettle-boiled whitebait or tempura with miso soup (limited to when ordering a bowl). There are many other seafood bowls that I'm curious about! I will come back again. Thank you for the meal. Along Prefectural Route 29, near the Nishi intersection of Shinhamacho, a 17-minute walk from Izuhara Station on the Nankai Main Line. *Please note that there are restricted areas around the fishing port.

Torotori Oo-ryo Kai-sen Don (Seafood Bowl with Tuna) for 1,730 yen including tax. This is a very popular restaurant where you write your name on a welcome board and wait in line. If you wait in your car, you can leave your phone number and they will call you. The parking lot is spacious and located behind the restaurant. Be careful, there is gravel in the front but that is not the parking area. They accept PayPay and if you follow the restaurant, you can get a 5% cashback every time.

I went to Kotaya in Izumisano, which I had been curious about after seeing it in an Instagram post. I happened to have work in Izumisano, and when I got off the highway, I saw it on the right side by the sea, so I went for lunch during my break. It opened at 11 o'clock, and I arrived a little before 11, but even though it was a weekday, there were already a few people lined up! The exterior looked like a long warehouse, with panels displaying seafood bowls, etc. Inside, there were table seats and counter seats divided in half, with quite a few seats available. I was guided to a counter seat and ordered from the panel! There were so many different bowls that I had a hard time deciding, haha. This time, I ordered the recommended special mixed seafood Kotaya bowl and Kotaya's fisherman's soup (^ ^) While waiting for a while, more and more customers arrived, and I thought I had good timing! *If you go, it might be best to go right after opening!! After waiting for about 10 minutes, the Kotaya bowl and fisherman's soup arrived! Looks delicious~ haha There were tuna, salmon, scallops, yellowtail, salmon roe, shrimp, and various other fish and shellfish, making it look very appealing! The fisherman's soup also had plenty of fish with meat on them, which was nice. All the ingredients were delicious, but I especially liked the medium fatty tuna and shrimp. There are so many options to choose from, so it's fun to decide, and it was a delicious and satisfying lunch. I think it's a recommended restaurant for seafood lovers. Please try going there!

I arrived a little after the restaurant opened at 11 am and it was still quiet with plenty of space. They had thorough COVID-19 measures in place and there was enough room for my baby stroller, so it was no problem being with my child. They had a children's menu, but it seemed a bit early for my 1 and a half year old daughter. She only ate the rice and omelette, the rest was eaten by us. The shrimp in the shrimp fry was very tasty and made with good quality shrimp. My husband and I ordered a rice bowl and a tempura assortment. The rice bowl was a bit small, so my husband was worried it wouldn't be enough, but we both ended up satisfied. They also had high chairs for children, so families with young kids should have no problem dining here. Overall, it was a great experience to enjoy a luxurious seafood bowl on the weekend.

This is a seafood restaurant near Izumisano Fishing Port near the border between Osaka and Wakayama in the south. I visited for the lunch set, and even people who came from far away on motorcycles were there, so it seems to be a popular place as I had to wait quite a bit. The lunch set was filled with high-quality, thick cuts of fish sourced from the fishing port, and I was impressed that I could enjoy such a meal in Osaka at this price without having to go to Wakayama, Mie, or Hokuriku. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I mainly share information with videos on Instagram. Real-time updates are also available on my stories! Please search and follow @takunakahara! About a 10-minute drive north from Rinku Town is the seafood restaurant Kotaya. On this day, I had the "Dai-Gyō Kaisendon" (with tempura and red miso soup). The seafood bowl was topped with fresh sashimi including fatty tuna and large shrimp! The fresh seafood and slightly vinegary sushi rice stimulate the appetite! You can also get extra rice for an additional charge, so men might want to go for the large portion (or maybe it's just because I have a big appetite...lol). I also tried a bite of the seared salmon bowl, which was also incredibly delicious. With a variety of menu items like tempura and set meals, this is a place you'll want to visit again and again. If you're not quite feeling the food at Rinku Outlet, I recommend taking a little trip further out to try this place. Visit in December 2022, around 1500 yen, car required. @kotaya2020.
