"Choi Meshi Asa-chan" (Osaka Namba) is a shop that seems like a holy place for Kansai-style large portions, but it has been 5 years since my last visit. This time, I ordered the Triple Choi Teishoku for 750 yen, which came with dashi roll, hamburger, and white fish fry. Even the regular size was 600g of rice. It had been almost 3 and a half years since my last visit, but..."

Asachan is famous for its large portion gourmet meals. Despite a slight price increase, the portions are still huge. The regular rice serving is 500g, which is a lot. I haven't been here in a while and it was tough to finish everything. The fried chicken pieces were also quite large, about 6 of them. They were delicious, but my jaw started to get tired. I took my time and managed to finish it all.

I came here wanting to eat a lot on this day. Long story short, as expected, the Asa-Chan set meal was ordered (with 500g of rice). It was full of volume and rich in flavor! The store's appearance, interior, and dishes all exude a Showa era vibe! I needed more tea, so I bought some from the vending machine outside. In many ways, I felt a sense of nostalgia and the powerful energy of the Showa era. Thank you for the meal! ＼(^o^)／

Shopping from the morning. ODA-san, Surugaya-san, Gundam Museum... First, we decided to fill our stomachs by parking at the nearby Times and heading to Asa-chan, a famous store. We had heard rumors that if you make a mistake in ordering, it could turn into a disaster, so we were determined to go. The preparation was perfect and I had briefed my husband and son. The husband hesitated to open the door, clearly scared. Reluctantly, we entered. The owner greeted us warmly. There were two other customers already seated. We placed our belongings on the table before ordering. The landlady was waiting at the counter. It's a pre-payment system. I wanted to order three items, but I was afraid of getting too full, so I settled for two. The husband was indecisive. My son suggested ginger pork, so I relayed that we didn't want double meat, but the husband ordered it anyway. They asked about the rice portion. The husband chose a small, and my son chose a regular. - Husband: Hamburger and shrimp fry set meal - 670 yen - Son: White fish fry and ginger pork set meal - 670 yen - Me: Yakisoba and red sausage set meal - 670 yen Total: 2,010 yen (tax included) We were called for a "rock-paper-scissors" game. While waiting, we looked at the photos on the door. Many celebrities had visited. Reading the other notices was also interesting. When our order was ready, we all stood up. We burst out laughing at the amount of rice served. The red sausage was heavily covered in ketchup. Surprisingly, the yakisoba was delicious. A hit. The husband commented that the yakisoba looked good. My son was struggling to finish his rice. We laughed throughout the meal. It felt comfortable and fun. We finished our meals and when we left, we thanked the owner, who smiled and said, "Thank you very much." It was a pleasant experience. The food was like a casual diner, and the yakisoba was tasty. The menu was interesting. If you're in the area, be sure to visit. It's a fun place. Thank you for the meal.

On October 11, 2022 (Tuesday) around 3:50 PM, I got excited talking about the jumbo-sized dishes with my senior colleague from Asa-Chan Teishoku Company and ended up coming here. Since we're here, might as well go all out, right? So... acting younger than my age, I did it. I really wanted to see the jumbo-sized dish. But in the end, I prefer to enjoy a variety of delicious foods in small portions! There were so many dishes that I couldn't help but hiccup... I needed more tea. The staff suggested buying tea outside would be more cost-effective, but I decided to buy tea inside as a sign of not giving up. How wild, right? It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the restaurant "Choi Meshi Asa-chan" for lunch on this day. It is a well-known establishment in Nihonbashi that has been featured on various TV shows. Although they had to take a long break during the pandemic, they have recently been operating steadily, which is great news. I ordered the "Triple Choi Teishoku for 750 yen," while my son had the "Asa-chan Teishoku for 1,150 yen." Despite the slightly higher prices compared to before, the portions were still generous! My son was surprised at first but managed to finish his meal. By the way, the bill for the day had a "Madame Butterfly" theme. Thank you for the delicious meal!

"Choi Meshi Asa-chan" There is no parking lot, so let's park at a nearby coin parking. It is located in a somewhat rundown shopping street with a retro feel, almost like an old electronics store from the Showa era. Inside, there are simple tables and chairs, focusing solely on eating. My junior colleague always picks unusual restaurants that make me wonder where he finds them. When I looked at the menu closely, I noticed that there are different prices for the side dishes. I ordered the "2 kinds mix choi teishoku" with regular rice. When choosing two dishes, if you pick one with a lower price and one with a higher price, the total will be the higher price. I ordered the fried chicken and grilled meat combination for 770 yen. The rice in the teishoku is a generous 500g portion. I noticed that instead of a number ticket, they gave me a wooden tag with strange phrases that will be called out when the order is ready. When I asked about water, I was told that there is no free water, only a small tea can is provided initially, and additional drinks like green tea, black tea, coffee, and lemon tea are available for 80 yen each. This place is known for its large portions, often featured on TV. The grilled meat was decent like a cheap bento place, but the fried chicken had a crispy coating, flavorful seasoning, and thick juicy meat."

I used to love computers since I was young, so I often visited Nihonbashi, but lately I have been drifting away because online shopping has become more convenient. The electric town has also declined, and I can't help but feel a bit lonely. Today, I had to buy a computer part in person, so I finally visited this place I've been wanting to go for 20 years. I arrived around 4 pm on a weekday and the place was completely empty. I ordered a set meal with fried chicken and ginger pork, choosing a regular size for the rice. The regular size turned out to be 500g, so be careful! The food was ready in about 4 minutes, and I picked it up at the counter. The appearance of the food with a mountain of rice was eye-catching. Instead of water, they give you a canned tea. The ginger pork was tender and flavorful, while the fried chicken was a bit dry. Both dishes had a strong flavor, making the rice go down smoothly. The rice was a bit dry, maybe because I came in the evening. Overall, the meal was satisfying for the price of 770 yen. The food itself may not be amazing, but it's a place to enjoy the atmosphere and the large portions. It seems like a place that attracts people who enjoy quirky things, with hand-written signs inside and outside the shop. Personally, I didn't find it particularly interesting, but for those who do, it's a good place to visit. I'm glad I finally got to visit the place I've been wanting to go to. Thank you for the meal!

I finally had the opportunity to visit this restaurant after hearing about it in the media. I ordered the morning set meal with a mini-sized rice portion. Even though it was a mini size, I couldn't finish it... The portion size was impressive. The flavor was rich and tasty, and overall it was delicious. What stood out the most was the excellent service and hospitality towards customers. It's a great restaurant.

Too big!!! Katsu-don!!! I forgot about the size, but when you see it, you'll understand. It's huge. The broth is sweet and delicious. It's drowning in sauce! However, I might get tired of it before finishing it. Haha. Leaving food behind is not allowed - I finished it all! Thank you for the meal ❤️ I want to try other menu items as well.

It was a sunny Saturday with a refreshing breeze. I went to a clinic south of Nihonbashi to pick up some medicine. Then it was lunchtime. I strolled down a nearby Asian-themed alley, filled with cafes and shops, exuding a nostalgic and almost dreamlike atmosphere. In that area, I suddenly spotted Asa-Chan, a famous restaurant known for its mega-sized meals. I hesitated about whether to go in or not. Lately, I've been having breakfast at a café called Asaba near Nagahoribashi on weekends. It's just a boiled egg and a slice of toast, and it had only been about an hour since then. The idea of diving into Asa-Chan, known for its mega-sized meals, with my current stomach condition made me hesitate. I decided to leave and come back next time. However, I thought it must be fate, so I changed my mind and returned to the restaurant. And I went in. The entrance was covered with a variety of menu options, making it hard to believe it was a food establishment without them. I gathered my courage and entered. Inside, there were simple, old-fashioned chairs and tables. There were two customers already seated. I placed my belongings on a seat near the entrance. Then, a woman who seemed to be the owner called out from what looked like the kitchen window, "Come over here for your order!" I approached the window. They had set up plastic sheets for COVID-19 precautions, and there was a sign saying "Self-service" on cardboard paper. I received an explanation of the menu options while looking at the menu. The menu offered various individual items such as hamburger, white fish fry, chicken karaage, tonkatsu, pork ginger, shrimp fry, and grilled meat. There were also set meals with different combinations. The rice portion could be chosen from mini, small, medium, to large, with the smallest being 200g, which relieved me. The top-tier set meal was the Asa-Chan set meal for 1,020 yen, featuring rolled omelet, hamburger, white fish fry, chicken karaage, sausage, and fried dumplings. After considering, I ordered the Triple Set Meal, which included hamburger, rolled omelet, and white fish fry, as the name suggests. I chose the smallest rice portion, the mini size. They handed me a strange wooden tag as my order number. I waited for a while, and when my food was ready, I was called to pick it up. It was a bento-style setup with partitions. It reminded me of having lunch at a business trip. There was a large amount of shredded cabbage on the left, a big hamburger with ketchup on the right, triangular-cut rolled omelet and fish fry in the bottom-right section, a small section with mayonnaise, and rice in the bottom-left. There was also a canned tea. I returned to my seat and started eating. I first enjoyed the cabbage, then the crispy white fish fry, which went well with mayonnaise. Next was the hamburger, which had a satisfying taste with ketchup. I savored the hot rice. And the rolled omelet, it was incredibly smooth and had a fine texture. It was a delicious and filling meal, and I was surprised by the quality of the food. Although I was intimidated by the portion size, I managed to finish it all. It turned out to be a great find, unexpectedly, and I had a satisfying lunch. Thank you for the meal.

Visited Asa-chan on 20200321 after a long time. I didn't take photos because there were dirty words written all over the vending machines. This place has a unique atmosphere and I used to come here often. As I've gotten older, I can't eat as much, so I always get a small portion here. By the way, a real friend of mine had the right to have the master buy him meals every day at this store over ten years ago. There are video posters of that person's appearance posted everywhere. It's a place where the service and cost performance are outstanding. They close around evening time, so you have to time it right to visit. It's a place I always want to go to.

This shop is often featured in TV coverage. The amount of food is seriously huge. If you want to eat a lot for a cheap price and leave satisfied, this is the place to go. The calling tickets have mysterious phrases on them, which is amusing. It's the best in terms of cost performance and of course, the taste is delicious too.

Every year during the New Year, the restaurant offers a special limited menu. Customers can choose two items from a selection of five limited menu items: fried chicken, pork cutlet, karaage, katsudon, and dashimaki. I chose the katsudon and karaage combo. The portion was large, but I was determined to enjoy this delicious meal at the start of the New Year. It's a great way to kick off the year!

The price was a bit higher, possibly due to the increase in consumption tax, but Japanbashi Asachan still offers great value. Today, I tried the Katsudon and Ginger Pork set. This set costs 770 yen (tax included). The Katsudon, which is a breaded pork cutlet simmered in sweet sauce and eggs, is perfect when served on rice. The portion of rice is just right, and it disappears quickly when you top it with the Katsudon. They offer a variety of options like yakiniku, ginger pork, shrimp fry, and chicken karaage, allowing you to create your own customized meal, so you won't get tired of coming back. Today's fortune slip was "Madam Butterfly" (a type of fortune slip in Japan).笑

Finally, the autumn long weekend has begun. I start planning my trip and decide to head to Gifu first. Normally, I would depart on Friday night and make the most of the long weekend, but considering my budget for the rest of the trip, it's a bit tight. And I also want to wander around Osaka. On the first day, I decide to explore Osaka city by bike, starting with lunch. I had planned to visit a ramen shop in Nipponbashi, but the summer-like heat made me change my mind. I wander around and find myself in Nipponbashi. I realize I've never walked around the electronics district before. It reminds me of a quieter corner of Akihabara, with electronics stores lining the streets and some eateries in the alleys. It's a charming neighborhood. Amidst this, I spot a blue facade that blends in with the surroundings and exudes a historical charm. The menu is displayed on the door. I love this kind of atmosphere, so I decide to enter the restaurant. Inside, it feels like a simple and slightly dreary diner in a rural town in Southeast Asia. I arrive at noon, and despite the quiet atmosphere outside, the place is packed. The veteran female staff offers me a shared seat, and I luckily find the last available seat without waiting. I sit at the back. More customers keep coming in, and the place gets crowded. I place my order at the counter, where a variety of Western dishes are available for selection. I opt for ginger pork and white fish fry, choosing a medium-sized rice. The price is reasonable at 650 yen. I receive a ticket with "2 steps to the right" written on it instead of a number, adding to the unique charm of the place. I pick up my tray from the counter and head to the back to my seat. The set meals are served in stacked boxes, and the rice portion is surprisingly large. I return to my seat, where the table is slightly tilted. It's a bit inconvenient, but not a big deal. I start eating, and the homey flavors bring back nostalgic memories. The ginger pork and white fish fry are delicious, and the rice portion is generous. I struggle to finish the meal, trying to balance the flavors. I enjoy the freshly fried white fish. I think about ordering miso soup, but I miss the timing and decide to stick with the tea provided. I manage to finish the meal, feeling a bit parched towards the end. It would have been nice to have one more side dish. Despite the slight struggle, I finish the meal. It's easy to end up choosing only ramen when looking for budget options, so finding such a delightful set meal was a pleasant surprise.

Located around the middle of Nihonbashi, on the west side behind Joshin Kids Land, is this unique restaurant. From the outside, the store has a somewhat peculiar atmosphere, with menu signs posted. However, upon entering, it has a diner-like feel. The menu displayed outside is just an example, where you can choose two items like "fried chicken," "pork cutlet," or "ginger pork" to order. The price you pay will be based on the most expensive item you choose, but most items are priced at 650 yen. Some items, like "katsudon," are priced at 750 yen, making it quite reasonable. One thing to note is the amount of rice they serve. The portions are quite large, around 380 grams or so. It's a bit of a hearty meal, so be careful if you have a small appetite.

One of the top places in Osaka for large portions (it used to be) has moved and changed its menu a bit, but I'm just happy it's still around. I ordered the Chicken and Egg over Rice with Vienna Sausages, small size, for 750 yen. Don't expect too much from the taste, the main point is whether it goes well with the rice. I'm getting older so if I snack too much, I can't move. Even if it's small, I hope they keep doing their best.

I went to a recommended restaurant called Asa-chan in Namba-Nihonbashi, Osaka with a friend. The restaurant had a nice old-fashioned Osaka atmosphere, which made me excited for the delicious food at a good price. The husband and wife who run the restaurant were very friendly. I decided to try the pork cutlet bowl, and had to choose from six sizes ranging from super mini to regular. When I asked the difference between mini and small, the wife said, "Mini is about three bowls of rice." I was shocked! I decided to try the mini size this time. I paid in advance and received a wooden tag with the name "Father's enemy" written on it. When my food was ready, they called out "Father's enemy" to serve me, which made me laugh. The pork cutlet bowl was delicious, with a good balance of sweet egg and cutlet. The portion size matched the price of 800 yen for three bowls of rice worth of food. The restaurant closes at 6 pm, but I would love to go back if I have the chance. My friend who knows about consulting mentioned that offering large portions can improve profit margins and attract customers, and I felt that this restaurant goes above and beyond in providing value. The restaurant has been featured on TV and is highly recommended for those who enjoy eating a lot and are looking for good value. If you're interested, I recommend giving it a try. Thank you for the meal!
