I love this standing bar in Nishinari, Osaka! Nishinari Standing Bar Ginji Maido! Yamadera is the place. On this day, I enjoyed ladder drinks in Nishinari. The shop is my favorite standing bar, Ginji. The atmosphere of the shop and detailed information are also uploaded on YouTube, so please check it out. As soon as I entered the shop, it was crowded as expected! I started with a draft Sudachi Chu-hi for 340 yen. Just then, a famous lady with nose hair was drinking, so I enjoyed chatting with her as I visited. I tried the recommended green chili miso pickle for 190 yen by the lady with nose hair. At first, it was delicious with the richness and sweetness of miso, but then it was spicy!! But delicious!! But spicy!! It felt like the spiciness was raging in my mouth for a while. However, the deliciousness somehow becomes addictive. Another dish was the tuna offcuts for 290 yen. The fatty and lean parts mixed together was incredibly delicious. Perfect for sake! But the spiciness still lingered (laughs). I also had Panmimi Sugar for 290 yen, a nostalgic dish of fried bread crusts with sugar. Thanks to this, the spiciness and tingling sensation in my mouth disappeared (laughs). However, it was nostalgic and delicious. The lady with nose hair is such a fun person. It was a fun drinking day. Thank you for the meal, Standing Bar Ginji!

Ponchuu is a famous dish. It's refreshing and easy to drink. The food includes skewers starting from 90 yen, and the side dishes are around 300-400 yen, making it a satisfying menu. Even around 4:30 pm on weekdays, the place is almost always full, showing its popularity. It's also nice to receive a sticker on the way out.

"From 'Nariya' and 'Hana no Yama', we visited this place as the third stop! It was still only 11:30 when we arrived, haha. Lemon chu-hai, Pon-juice, Ikadama-chan, and Panmimi Tuna Cheese Yaki were all delicious and reasonably priced. This popular standing bar in Nishinari is great, you can still find seating though, haha. The Pon-juice chu-hai was unique and tasty! Ikadama was like okonomiyaki and was amazing! Panmimi Tuna Cheese Yaki had lots of tuna, cheese, and ketchup, it was incredibly delicious! Perfect for drinking, highly recommended!"

Today, I explored Imazeki to the fullest. I really delved into the deep side of Nishinari. The kushikatsu is mostly around 90 yen per skewer, and as expected, Nishinari is cheap. The interior of the restaurant is only counter seating. There were a few regular customers. The sashimi, such as tuna, is quite good. There are also plenty of other delicious dishes. This time, I visited multiple places, so next time I want to go to just one place.

The "Ponju" with Ponzu and shochu seemed to be a popular choice, although it didn't taste too alcoholic.

We arrived early in the morning from Nagoya to Shin-Osaka, then took the Midosuji Line directly to the zoo. This was our third stop on the bar-hopping tour in Nishinari. - Tender simmered pig trotter: A specialty menu item with a rich and flavorful taste, the texture was amazing and it was the best dish we ordered that day. - Squid ball: Another specialty item, similar to grilled squid in okonomiyaki style, with a deliciously rich sauce. - Skewers (pork, beef, pickled ginger): All were tasty and of good quality for the price of 90 yen each. - Ponchuu: Probably a type of sour drink similar to Pon Juice, which seems to be a registered trademark. Slightly more expensive compared to other sour drinks. We ordered a variety of items and spent about 1300 yen per person. Everything we ordered was delicious and affordable, leaving us completely satisfied. I wish this place was closer to home so I could visit more often.

TEL → Yes!!! I'll come pick you up right away♪♪♪ That's right. I received an invitation from my single noble friend who is a company president, saying he's always free and asking if I want to go somewhere. Me → "Okay then♪ Let's meet at the BMW shop on Tani 6." Single noble friend → "I have a meeting in a few hours, so please look for a place near my house in this area where we can focus on drinking. Thank you." Me → "(inner thoughts) A few hours later... a meeting... and yet... focusing on drinking!?... My single noble friend is truly a free spirit (≧▽≦) LOL."

In front of the zoo, "Tachinomi Ginji". This day was a drinking tour in Nishinari. The second place we went to was "Ginji" located right by the exit 9 of Dobutsuen-mae Station. I didn't have any prior information, but it seems like a famous place with lots of YouTubers posting about it, as the walls were covered with signatures and influencer stickers. It was the shop's anniversary celebration that day, so it was packed with regular customers. I sat at the counter seat with a standing counter behind me. The draft beer is only 290 yen! It's served in a plastic cup, but it's cheap and good. Skewers and oden are only 90 yen each, with some high-end items like oysters priced at 150 yen. Most of the side dishes are also 290 yen. The skewers include quail, beef, yam, and chicken with sauce poured on top, not dipped in sauce. They may not be exceptionally delicious, but at this price, it's a great deal! The oden has various items like eggs, konjac, and thick fried tofu, with a rich and sweet flavor. It's oden that goes well with alcohol. The tuna sashimi for 290 yen looked delicious, so I ordered it. Isn't it too cheap?! The Ponchuu for 340 yen is like a chu-hi made with juice. It goes down smoothly. I ordered more skewers: Marushin hamburger, garlic skewer, and scallop (150 yen). The Marushin hamburger skewer is a soul food that is simple and tasty when eaten with demi-glace sauce. The garlic skewer also goes well with alcohol. It cost around 2000 yen for two people. It's definitely cheap! Other menu items are available, and they are active on Instagram! @cospa.hunter.mach https://www.instagram.com/cospa.hunter.mach/

I visited the famous standing bar Ginji in Nishinari! Even though it was a weekday afternoon, it was almost full. It's a standing bar, but when it's not too crowded, there are chairs available (laughs). I tried the popular Ponchuu, which was easy to drink and very refreshing. Nishinari has a scary image, but the staff welcomed me with great kindness!

This week, I had 5 consecutive night shifts with about 2 hours of overtime per day. I'm quite tired. And to make things worse, I slipped and hit my right knee on a metal plate in the early morning... it hurts to walk, especially on stairs. Now, I'm at Dobutsuen-mae on the Sakaisuji Line. Yes, I'm going to have a drink in Nishinari, starting a bit later than usual, around 11 am, so I have more options. I walked south from the station and stumbled upon a shop that is usually closed... Ginjin was open! I decided to check it out. The shop had an L-shaped counter and two standing drinking spaces at the back. It's quite small. The chairs at the L-shaped counter were just cushions on barrels, not very comfortable to sit on. In the kitchen, there was the owner and his wife, who seemed quite lively. I started with a lemon sour, served in a plastic cup. This is the kind of vibe you get in Nishinari. I wrote down my order on a piece of paper and handed it over. The first dishes that arrived were oden with thick fried tofu and daikon, pig's feet, and asparagus. The oden was below convenience store quality, the pig's feet were tender but lacked volume, and the asparagus was simply delicious. The best part was when the customer next to me asked if I needed sauce. The space was so cramped that customers had to make way for each other to pass by. It's a neighborhood with a lot of human warmth. It might be difficult to go back for a second visit, but if I ever feel like trying their signature drink, Ponchu, a mix of Pon juice and shochu, I'll definitely stop by again. Thank you for the meal. Next stop...

No matter how many times I come back, I always think the cost performance is amazing at this unbeatable value izakaya in Nishinari. The pig feet and kushikatsu are out of this world delicious. I've been here so many times and I always think the cost performance is great! If you're hopping around in Nishinari, this place is a must-visit! Especially the pig feet and kushikatsu are really cheap and tasty! It's a popular spot, so it can get crowded on weekends, but it's definitely worth a few tries! Thank you as always! It was a delicious meal!

A popular standing bar recommended by those who love sake. The place was almost full, with some people even eating outside. Luckily, there was a vacant seat available. The food was delicious, and the mama-san's personality was amazing, making the drinks go down even smoother. It seems like there are many regular customers, but that didn't bother me at all. In fact, they were happy to recommend tasty dishes. The person next to me came from a distance after reading reviews, and everyone could chat and have a good time in this lively atmosphere.

The restaurant was full even in the afternoon, so I ended up drinking outside for a while. A previous customer kindly opened up a seat for me. The atmosphere was like a small local izakaya. The conversations among customers added to the enjoyment, making it feel like a comedy show. The food was delicious, and I had a great time.

I visited the restaurant right after it opened. There are several charismatic restaurants in Nishinari, but this one seems to be one of them. It has been reviewed by many YouTubers. The cool master and the landlady who runs this local bar with strength. They seem to handle various customers with ease. Their smiles and conversational skills are amazing. What I had was the melt-in-your-mouth simmered pig's trotters for 290 yen, the southern barbarian for 290 yen, and the ham cutlet for 150 yen. The famous pig's trotters are served with just the meat. No need to worry about getting your hands dirty. It's so tender and delicious. The regular customers greet each other with "Good morning" and "Cheers" with such joy. Even the staff are toasting. The combination of "Good morning" and "Cheers" was quite surprising. Well, I'm also drinking today. This time, there were only regular customers, and I was a bit overwhelmed. Of course, they treated me nicely, but I couldn't help but want to become a regular customer myself. It looks like so much fun.

Located near the Imazato Station on the Sakaisuji Line, Pon Juice is a pub specializing in kushikatsu with its signature shochu cocktail, "Pon Shochu." They offer dishes like tuna yukke for 380 yen and meat skewers for 290 yen. The hospitality is warm and friendly, but the regular customers are quite unique, making it a bit challenging for newcomers. Overall, it's a great place to enjoy a few drinks and snacks beyond just a simple night out.

Master combos are fun too! Enjoyable day drinking with delicious and affordable kushikatsu at the popular bar "Tachinomi Ginji" in Osaka Nishinari. Many famous YouTubers also visit "Ginji", a popular bar where you can enjoy delicious dishes from lunchtime. The location in Nishinari may make first-time visitors hesitate a bit, but don't worry because the tough-looking master and funky lady will welcome you with a smile. You might get hooked on the fun atmosphere! "Tachinomi Ginji" in Osaka Nishinari is a kushikatsu bar that opened in 2018. Recently, many YouTubers have visited, and its popularity has been skyrocketing! Especially on weekends, it gets very crowded, and many customers end up leaving without being able to enter the shop. The shop is about a 3-minute walk from Dobutsuen-mae Station on the subway. It is a standalone house across from the Hankai Tramway viaduct. The interior of "Ginji" has a counter surrounding the kitchen and standing counters along the back wall. Although it's called "standing and drinking," there are also stools at the main counter. Additionally, outdoor seating is available, which is perfect for the upcoming season. The menu is available in pouches and throughout the shop. The main dish is kushikatsu, with a variety of appetizers and daily specials also available. Most of them are very reasonably priced in the 200-300 yen range. Drinks are also available, with all the standard options. (Prices include tax) Large bottled beer: 470 yen The large bottles include Asahi, Kirin, and Sapporo. The popular Sapporo Red Star is a good choice. Cheers! Pickled vegetable assortment: 290 yen Perfect for starters or as a side dish, the pickled vegetables are a must. Includes pickled shallots, pickled daikon, and pickled shiba. The colors and presentation are excellent. Stewed pig trotter: 290 yen A specialty dish that is cooked slowly with time and care. It's so tender that it's difficult to pick up with chopsticks! It melts in your mouth with a gentle sweetness that spreads and disappears. Your skin will be glowing the next morning, even if you didn't know it (laughs). Cabbage is served as a side dish when you order kushikatsu. Refills are available for 90 yen. The sauce is served in a bottle with the shop's logo. Kushikatsu: Beef, pickled ginger each 90 yen, shrimp 150 yen The freshly fried kushikatsu is served hot, with one stick priced at 90 yen or 150 yen. You can order just one stick. The thin stick-type beef, plump shrimp, and the Osaka kushikatsu staple, pickled ginger, are all included. Kushikatsu: White onion 90 yen, asparagus 150 yen, oyster 150 yen A juicy white onion, a whole asparagus spear, and two large oysters with a rich flavor that spreads throughout your mouth. The aroma of the sea is irresistible. Please note that oysters are only available in winter. They have already finished this season. Oh, I'm glad I made it in time (laughs). When oysters are no longer available, conger eel will appear in the summer! Highball: 290 yen Draft beer, highball, and sour cocktails are served in plastic cups with a street stall vibe. Pon juice: 340 yen A popular drink, as the name suggests, Pon Juice is a shochu highball. Squid tempura: 290 yen Another specialty dish served piping hot. The shiny surface covered in sauce is very tempting! The fluffy texture of the batter, the chewy squid, and the rich spicy sauce are a perfect combination! This is exquisite. Be prepared for a burn as you enjoy it while it's hot. And the rich flavor of this dish pairs perfectly with the refreshing sweetness of the Pon juice. This combination is highly recommended! I brought home the oden in a Tupperware container and enjoyed it slowly at home. Each ingredient is large and has a strong presence! The potatoes are half-cut but still substantial, with a fluffy texture and a heavy fried flavor from soaking up the broth. The daikon radish is filled with broth, and the fried tofu is heavy. I tried five types of oden, including egg and thread konjac. It's rare in Kansai to have a sweeter type, which explains why it has many fans. The rice eaten with this broth was also delicious. Takeout is great! (laughs) Thank you for the meal! Payment is cash only. It's a wonderful bar where you can enjoy delicious dishes at an affordable price from lunchtime every day. The friendly couple will welcome you with a smile, so even first-time visitors will feel at home.

I had kushiage and chicken sashimi for the first time in a while. There was a very drunk man at the restaurant that day, but the staff handled it well and made sure it didn't bother other customers. The kushiage was big and juicy, a must-try. Thank you for the meal!

Today, I went bar-hopping in Nishinari again. When it comes to Osaka's kushiage (deep-fried skewers), a certain "Da****" is famous, but there are even cheaper and more delicious places in Nishinari. That place is "Tachinomi Ginjin." It is located right by exit 9 of Osaka Metro Sakaisuji Line "Dobutsuen-mae Station," so it's easy to find. The interior of the restaurant consists only of a counter, with seating for about 10 people. The menu on the wall is mostly priced at 300 yen or less. The kushiage ranges from 90 yen to 150 yen, which is super cheap. I recommend the "Ponchuu (340 yen)," a shochu mixed with pon juice. It's easy to drink and dangerously good. The winter limited "Oyster Kushiage (150 yen)" is incredibly plump and delicious! Creamy and piping hot! You're sure to burn your mouth (laughs). The kushiage of pickled ginger is also very Osaka-like and good. Red wiener, shiitake mushrooms, lotus root, quail eggs, and more. Can't stop, won't stop. I heard that the a la carte dishes are also delicious, so I tried the "Chicken Thigh Cheese (290 yen)." A large chicken thigh is filled with plenty of cheese and baked in the oven. This is also delicious. The oden is good, and the simmered pig's trotters are also recommended, but I'll hold back a little since the food journey continues. Now, where to next?

A regular customer at Marufuku brought me to a new place, saying "This place is great!" Although I've been to the shop next door before, this one was new to me! It seems to be popular as it was featured by a YouTuber. Cheers with a Ponchuu (Pon Juice Chu-hai)! The atmosphere with the owner and regular customers was great! I felt like I wouldn't be lonely even if I came alone. The pork trotters were so tender and delicious! The kushikatsu was surprisingly cheap for the quality! The menu is quite extensive. Of course, you have to try the pickled ginger! The Pulcotti dipped in Tsuruhashi's spicy miso was amazing! It's spicy but addictive! The owner and regulars told me that it's a punishment dish to eat, but if you like spicy food, you'll love it. I want to have this spicy miso at home too (laughs). The owner might close early in the evening due to his whims, which is a unique rule of this area.

Popular shop on YouTube!! Many YouTubers have visited. Their ponzu and pig's feet are famous. The kushikatsu was delicious. Of course, both the ponzu and pig's feet were excellent. Great value for money and always full!! It was hard to get a seat... Truly amazing. Thank you for the meal.

Went bar hopping in Nishinari. Second stop was Gini, a place I've been wanting to try. Visited for the first time on Tuesday, September 22, 2020. Their eel skewers were delicious and huge! The pork trotters were so tender and amazing. The taste was incredible. Also, mixing pon juice into the draft highball was delicious. #Gini #Nishinari
