"Yakiniku Tsuruhashi Gyuuichi Honten" in Tennoji-ku, Osaka City is located right in front of the west exit of Tsuruhashi Station on the JR Loop Line, Kintetsu Osaka Line, and Nara Line, just a 1-minute walk from exit 7 of Tsuruhashi Station on the Osaka Metro Sen-Nichimae Line. I visited the restaurant around 11:30 on a weekday. The interior has a retro feel, giving it a unique atmosphere. The lunch menu includes options such as Kobe beef lunch (3000 yen), premium pork belly lunch (2036 yen), black wagyu beef lunch (1800 yen), premium kalbi lunch (1645 yen), Gyuuichi lunch (1500 yen), and horumon lunch (1000 yen), as well as eight types of Korean cuisine lunch. This time, I ordered the black wagyu beef lunch (1800 yen). Rice is refillable. The meat includes black wagyu beef belly, black wagyu beef loin, and black wagyu beef kalbi, along with rice, wakame soup, and a plate of kimchi and namul. The 200g portion of meat was very satisfying and of good quality. The sauce for the yakiniku has changed from a light soy sauce base to a thick miso-based one, which was also delicious. The rice was cooked perfectly, and the kimchi and kakuteki on the plate had a nice kick to them. The salad dressing was a standout, made with a unique blend that includes gochujang. I found out that you can buy this dressing at a nearby shop called "LEE MART," so I purchased it on my way out. I also grabbed a banana juice, a favorite of mine, as a post-meal drink. The service at the restaurant was excellent, and I look forward to visiting again. Thank you for the meal.
