My friend from Sakai told me that you can eat the famous tempura from "Daikichi" in Minami all day long. I went to check it out, but the place was actually called "Tempura Tarojiro"... I was a bit hesitant, but when I entered, I saw the owner's familiar face from Daikichi. It turns out he recently opened this place, just three days ago, after branching out on his own in the competitive food district of Sennichimae. Of course, the tempura was delicious! In fact, I preferred the crispy texture and lightness of this tempura over Daikichi's. And the best part? The prices are surprisingly affordable! I wonder if they can keep this up. It's a steal! If you were a girl, you could fill up for only 1000 yen. I'm already a regular customer for both lunch and dinner, addicted to this place. Request: Please add clam soup to the menu!

One day for lunch, I went to Tempura Tarojiro in Dotonbori. The owner of this restaurant, who used to work at the famous tempura restaurant "Daikichi" in Sakai, has opened this new place. I sat at the counter and started with a highball to wet my throat, then I ordered the "Tempura Zaru Teishoku". You can also add extra tempura, so I added white fish and conger eel to make a luxurious tempura bowl. The soba was refreshing and had a good volume, which was very satisfying. The tempura was perfectly crispy and delicious, and went well with the dipping sauce. My companion had the "Tempura Don Teishoku", where you can choose your own toppings for the tempura bowl, which was amazing. The food was so delicious, and I even got a "NO NOODLE, NO LIFE" sticker as a souvenir. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Kiss, mushrooms, sardines, chicken, eggplant, and shrimp tempura set meal with extra large rice for free. The tempura is crispy without feeling heavy, even though I usually feel the oiliness at my age. I usually prefer to eat with salt, but the tempura dipping sauce is also delicious. And, it may be plain, but the soup dish is (*´∀｀*) so satisfying with so many ingredients. Isn't the lunch too cheap? LOL

This seems to be a restaurant run by someone who trained at the famous tempura restaurant Ohyoshi in Sakai. The menu is similar to Ohyoshi's but very reasonably priced. You write down the tempura you want to eat on a piece of paper and order. The tempura comes on a large plate and is fried to a crispy texture and delicious. The pieces are a bit smaller so you can eat several. I think the quality is high for a tempura restaurant in this price range. Thank you for the meal!

The oysters are delicious. They were so good that I couldn't stop talking about them, and this is the only photo I have left. I think they were called Senpoo-shi. I believe they were from Hokkaido. This restaurant serves delicious tempura oysters. If you're in Osaka Minami, be sure to check it out.

A restaurant where you can enjoy fresh live oysters and a variety of delicious tempura. I was looking for a seafood izakaya in Namba and came across this place, so I decided to visit as our second stop. The tempura was crispy and came with a variety of dipping sauces like tempura sauce, salt, wasabi salt, and curry salt, allowing us to enjoy the tempura in different ways. It was also reasonably priced, so I would definitely consider coming back.

I visited this place a while ago! I heard it was delicious so I went to try it out~ It's great that you can eat freshly made hot tempura. The prices are reasonable, so I ended up ordering too much. The restaurant is small, so it's recommended to go with about two people! I want to go again~ Thank you for reading until the end! Likes and saves make me happy ( ¨̮ )⤴︎⤴︎ Please also check out my Instagram @gourmet_tabi

I went to a restaurant affiliated with the famous Tempura Oki-san in Sakai. The entrance door was open, so the draft beer tasted even better! The tempura was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside no matter which one you ate! My personal recommendation is the squid and scallop. The squid had a firm texture with no watery taste often found in tempura. The scallop was juicy when bitten into, and the flavor of the scallop was concentrated in the batter. Overall, the drink prices were a bit high in my impression. Maybe I drank a little too much haha. There were three of us, and they divided the tempura into portions for each person, which made me happy! Thank you for the meal!

If you want to casually eat tempura, this is the place to go!! They fry it right in front of you, which really stimulates your appetite!! They have a wide variety of alcohol options, so you'll be completely satisfied!! It's not a smoke-free environment, so if you absolutely can't stand the smell of cigarettes, timing might be important!! They make tempura bowls with your favorite ingredients, so you can also enjoy a satisfying meal to finish off your dining experience!!

You can enjoy the delicious tempura made by a skilled chef who honed his skills at the famous restaurant Daikichi in Sakai at a popular tempura izakaya in Namba. The tempura, starting at 100 yen each, is light and crispy. The half-cooked egg, extra-large red shrimp, oysters, scallops, and the domestically produced Wagyu beef that I tried for the first time that day were all amazing. The seafood sourced from the market is also delicious. I love the oysters from Senpoushi, the sashimi platter with tuna, and the tuna tartare. I keep going back to this favorite restaurant. ✨

Today, I visited Tenpura Tarojiro for a quick bite before heading to the event hosted by pe_chan. I arrived around 5:30 pm and the restaurant was almost full. Interestingly, about 80% of the customers were inbound tourists. Despite being located in Minami, it seems that foreign travelers are familiar with this hidden gem. I was seated at the counter near the fryer and placed my order using a paper form for food and verbally for drinks. I ordered the following: [Food] - Jumbo Red Shrimp: 300 yen - Asparagus: 200 yen - Corn: 150 yen - Smelt: 150 yen [Drinks] - Sapporo Lager (bottle): 530 yen x2 The tempura batter was crispy and light, giving a casual and familiar feel rather than a refined one. The ingredients were large and satisfying to eat. The oil had no strange smell and the overall taste was delightful. They also offer a similar menu during lunchtime, making it a good spot for day drinking. Overall, it was a pleasant experience at this casual tempura restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

This is the beloved older brother's restaurant of Okuda's boss✨ The tempura here looks delicious ( ⑉¯ །། ¯⑉ ) I've always been curious about it in Minami, where the number of foreigners has increased. About 1/3 of the customers were foreigners here too. They were all ordering tempura please❤️! I'm quite picky about fried food, but the tempura at the older brother's restaurant passed the test♪ It's great that you can order various items as much as you like, isn't it? I don't like set courses! ヾ(≧▽≦)ﾉｷﾞｬﾊﾊ Well, I'm ordering what I and Satchan like! I'm such a demanding customer, ordering what I like^ ^ There were several types of rice bowls that caught my interest, but I resisted because I'm going for sushi later! Lunch with tempura made to order sounds like something I would come back for! I don't like lunch sets either!^ ^ I always want to eat as much as I like, no matter what the occasion. I had about 8 different items like large prawns, kisu fish, shiitake mushrooms, asparagus, and I forgot the rest! Oh, and the meat wrapped in shiso and plum too!^ ^ I ate about 8 different items. As for drinks, I always enjoy plum wine with soda, which goes well with the tempura. I left the tempura restaurant fully satisfied as Tarojiro-chan❤️

Ikuzo is a shop I often go to with my friends. The tempura here is always delicious and reasonably priced. Today's photo is of the tempura that my friend couldn't resist digging into before I could take a picture! We enjoyed some beer, highball, and sake while snacking on various dishes. I wasn't very hungry today, so I didn't eat much, but I usually end up eating a lot here. If you want to enjoy tempura easily, I highly recommend this place!

I went to "Tempura Tarojiro" in Namba. Fresh oysters for 680 yen, salmon for 830 yen, kisu with mentaiko for 250 yen, negitoro for 480 yen, kasujiru for 300 yen, mozuku for 380 yen, Kikumasamune sake for 400 yen, and lime shochu highball for 450 yen, all excluding tax. The fresh oysters I had after a long time were delicious. However, considering the portion size, it might be a bit expensive. I also recommend the kasujiru. It seemed affordable at first, but with all the taxes added, the total bill ended up in the 4000 yen range.

It has been a while since I had tempura, and Tarojiro-san's famous shop, Tenkichi, in Sakai, has become quite popular since branching out from Namba Komejirushi. You can choose from a variety of tempura ingredients and write them on a piece of paper to order. It's nice that you can also customize your tempura bowl with your favorite tempura ingredients.

The fourth stop for day drinking in Minami was Tempura Tarojiro. Despite being drunk and full, I really wanted to go there after a long time. Luckily, they were open early on a Sunday so I could get in. The tempura is delicious, of course, but the red clam sashimi is also amazing! I couldn't eat much because I was already full, but it's a favorite spot of mine. #OsakaGourmet #Namba #Tempura #Sashimi #Clam #Tarojiro

During the New Year's holiday in January 2023, when not many places were open, I was able to enjoy a meal here. First, I had a medium-sized bottle of beer for 530 yen. The sashimi was delicious. The tempura was also tasty. The soba noodles were quite good as well. Overall, there was nothing bad, just a normal and delicious restaurant. I went drinking around Nihonbashi in 2018. I really like Nihonbashi. Various shops start opening in the evening. This time, it's a tempura restaurant. This place offers tempura at a reasonable price. It's located north of Namba Station, down a side street. Inside, there are counter seats and table seats, with space for about 20 people. The restaurant is clean and spacious. I ordered a tempura set meal for 800 yen and a medium-sized bottle of beer for 450 yen. The beer was Asahi Super Dry, a good choice. The tempura set meal had large shrimp, fish, and vegetables. It was quite luxurious. The tempura was crispy, crunchy, and moist. It was delicious. The miso soup was also quite good. A lovely set meal. I also ordered additional squid and pickled ginger. They made a great accompaniment to the beer. As expected from a tempura specialty restaurant, the food was delicious.

I ordered a tempura set meal, tempura rice bowl, tuna rice bowl, and various other dishes! The prices were reasonable and wallet-friendly. However, even after coming in and placing an order, nothing arrived for 30 minutes! They didn't even bring water to the table, and the poor service led to other customers leaving. The tempura was already cold by the time it reached the table because there was only one person frying it. The raw seafood like oysters was delicious, but the cold tempura is better suited for takeout!

"I came to try the "Tempura Set Meal (880 yen)" for the first time at this restaurant. The owner is said to be from Tempura Daikichi. I ordered the Tempura Set Meal without knowing what would be included. The dish arrived with shrimp, sausage, tuna, and two other kinds of tempura. The portion was smaller than expected, but the taste was delicious. The tempura dipping sauce had grated radish, which was a nice touch. The miso soup was very hot, which I liked. The rice also tasted good. I'm not very good at distinguishing flavors, but I enjoyed it. They also offer a customizable Tempura Bowl, so I might try that next time. Please note that prices do not include tax."

The owner of this restaurant trained at the popular Tempura Ooyoshi in Sakai before opening their own place. This is my third visit, and everything is delicious, but the whitefish and sandfish were especially tasty. I recommend trying them with curry salt. After beer, you can add 250 yen to choose tempura for a tempura rice bowl if you like sake. I will definitely come back again. Thank you for the delicious meal!

On Saturday, I had some business in Osaka Minami that finished around 2:30 pm. Although I wasn't particularly hungry since I had already eaten lunch at home, I decided to grab a quick snack and a drink before heading back. I chose "Tempura Tarojiro" in Sennichimae as the spot for my snack. The owner of this place trained at the popular casual tempura restaurant "Daikichi" in Sakai for about 10 years, and he is also the brother of the owner of "Sennichimae Okuta" where I had morning drinks before. The restaurant is located in a small alley off the Sennichimae shopping street, right across from a sushi restaurant I frequent. It's a new and clean establishment with a counter seating area on two sides of the kitchen, a large table for six, and a smaller table for four. Since I was alone, I was seated at the counter. I started with a refreshing draft beer and then ordered a summer sake called "Asakura." I wanted to try some tempura dishes as well, so I filled out an order form for the food items. Here's what I ate: - Potato salad: A mashed potato salad with a generous amount of black pepper. - Conger eel: A thick and tender piece of conger eel served in a hot broth. - Tempura dishes: I tried various tempura items including rare Japanese beef, matsutake mushrooms, sardines, and a jumbo red shrimp. The beef was juicy and flavorful, the matsutake had a strong aroma, and the sardines were deliciously fatty. The jumbo shrimp was good, especially with its head full of shrimp miso. My favorite dish was the conger eel, which paired well with the sake. The tempura was tasty, with a slightly sweet tempura dipping sauce. Overall, everything was delicious, although I didn't find any standout tempura dishes. I finished off with a total of four drinks, including the beer, sake, a shikuwasa citrus highball, and a Chita highball. The bill came out to 6,030 yen, a bit higher than I expected, but considering I had the pricey Japanese beef tempura, it was reasonable.
