The staff at this restaurant are amazing at catching your order even in a noisy environment! It was my first time here, and I was surprised by how well all the food went with alcohol! Everything was so delicious! The stir-fried water spinach with glass noodles was too good, I ended up getting seconds. The prices are not listed on the menu, but they are really affordable! The place is quite busy, with both counter and table seating available. It's located in Kitashinmachi, but it's a casual and easy-to-enter izakaya.

Near Dojima Avanza, there is a longstanding restaurant that has been on my radar for a while. The atmosphere inside, bustling with customers at the counter and tables, gives off a nostalgic vibe that I really like! The specialty dish, Akashiyaki, served piping hot, was fluffy and delicious. They also offer a wide variety of sushi and small appetizers like dumplings that pair well with beer. The garlic-flavored stir-fried water spinach with glass noodles was also a hit! The thickly sliced beef tataki is perfect for a satisfying end to the meal, or you can always come back for more Akashiyaki. With a diverse menu, it's a great place to relax and enjoy the retro Showa-era ambiance of this cozy izakaya.

We serve Akashiyaki at Akashiya. It's just as it is. When people think of Osaka, they often think of takoyaki and okonomiyaki, but we can't forget about Akashiyaki. In general, the difference is whether you top it with sauce or dip it in broth, but there are also differences in the batter, such as whether it's flour-based or egg-based. Takoyaki is said to have originated from Akashiyaki. As for Shinchi, it can be a bit confusing for those who are not familiar with it, but our place is quite easy to find. It may feel a bit tense at first, but once you step inside, it's cozy. It has a neighborhood izakaya-like atmosphere. We have a decent menu besides Akashiyaki. But enjoying Akashiyaki with sake is really fun. I even had seconds. It's affordable, comfortable, and for me, it's a must-visit place. Whether it's the second, third, or fourth round, it's a great place to be.

When you come to Kitashinchi, you can't help but stop by here. If you feel like having some Akashiyaki as a finishing touch, don't hesitate to come here! A draft beer at the counter goes down smoothly. It's so light that you feel like you can eat as many as you want. Actually, besides Akashiyaki, the other menu items are also very satisfying. They are all delicious. Just that it's a smoking-friendly place, which is a bit of a downside.

At night, I went to drink with my junior at the 1969 building in the 3rd district. We were so engrossed in conversation that I forgot to take a picture. The second place we went to was still crowded as usual. We had to order one dish per person, so I chose the Akashiyaki and tomato slices. I really like the Akashiyaki here. It's hard to believe that it's so cheap in Kita-Shinchi. The octopus flavor is rich, and the broth is elegant. Despite the high price of eggs, I am impressed by the affordability of this place. Thank you for the meal! (-人-)

A Showa retro-style izakaya in Kitashinchi that is not typical of the area ☺️ Probably my first time trying Akashiyaki - fluffy Akashiyaki diving into hot dashi broth. I thought I couldn't handle flour-based dishes for my last meal, but Akashiyaki might be an exception. By the way, I had Kirin Lager for my beer choice, which made me happy. ------------------------------【Ordered Items】Akashiyaki ¥700Doteyaki

In the midst of high-end stores in Kitashinchi, there is a shop for the common people. Their specialty dish is Akashiyaki. The fluffy egg cake dipped in a gentle broth makes you feel happy. However, what I love more than Akashiyaki is the "Mochi Butter." The inside is gooey, the outside is crispy, and the buttery mochi with a hint of pepper is the perfect match! I tried making it at home because it seems easy, but I couldn't quite get the same taste, so I think eating it at this shop is the best. #OsakaGourmet #Kitashinchi #Akashiya #Akashiyaki #Mochi

Today's dinner was at Akashiya in Kitashinchi. This restaurant is always busy from early hours until late at night. Today, as I passed by, I noticed there were empty seats, so I decided to go in for the first time in a while. As the name suggests, Akashiyaki is their specialty, but they also offer a variety of other izakaya dishes. Today, I had Akashiyaki and mochi butter, which were delicious.

It had been many years since my last visit. I ordered the chef's choice set. The fugu skin with ponzu sauce was a disappointment. The skin was prickly or bumpy, what kind of fugu was it? The sashimi slices were too thick, but considering the price, maybe it's the restaurant's way of being generous? After the gyoza, beef tataki, and Akashiyaki, I thought that was it, but then I ordered yakisoba and just as I was finishing, they brought out mochi cheese! It was a huge amount in the chef's choice set.

JR Tozai Line "Kitashinchi" is a 3-minute walk from Osaka Municipal Subway Yotsubashi Line "Nishi-Umeda" is a 5-minute walk away. A cost-effective izakaya where you can eat Akashiyaki in Kitashinchi. After the meeting, I will meet an acquaintance who is coming from Tokyo. For some reason, we decided to go to an izakaya that serves Akashiyaki, which is somewhat Osaka-like. The fluffy Akashiyaki served was light and delicious. We also ordered small Osaka-style gyoza, grilled squid, and shirako ponzu. We provided a hospitality of Kansai's soul food.

【Review #362-03】This time, I went to Kitashinchi to eat Akashiyaki, but it was a disappointment~☆ ■■■ Izakaya Akashiya (Kitashinchi branch) ■■■ 6 years since my last visit, 3rd time visiting 【Dishes this time】 (Visited this time: July 2022, First visit: December 1995) #362-03 July 2022 - Medium bottle B 500 yen + Akashiyaki 700 yen = 1,700 yen per person 【Result】 - Akashiyaki was not good - It was not freshly cooked - Akashiyaki was not good.

I didn't know there was a shop like this in the area! I love Akashiyaki, so my friend and I went after sushi. The atmosphere is nice and the food is delicious! The octopus is big and the broth is tasty! Next time, I'll go slowly. Thank you for the meal! Ψ( 'ч' ☆) =

☆彡This old-fashioned bar, which doesn't feel like Kita-Shinchi at all, has a lively atmosphere. One day, I stopped by for some Akashiyaki during a pub crawl, and as the name suggests, Akashiyaki is their specialty. However, they have a wide variety of menu items, all generously portioned and reasonably priced. Their menu includes: Akashiyaki (700 yen), Vinegared oysters (price unknown), Doteyaki (600 yen). The difference between Akashiyaki and Takoyaki lies in the egg ratio. In Akashi, the local area, the oval-shaped Akashiyaki, also known as Tamago-yaki, is rich in eggs, soft and fluffy, yet cooked through. When dipped in broth, the flavors of egg and broth blend perfectly, especially delicious after drinking alcohol. I was surprised by the size and quantity of the Vinegared oysters I ordered as a side dish, and started a tasting session with some unusual drinks I found. Medicinal liquor, Carrot liquor, Kariin liquor, Lychee liquor, etc., all house-made and generously filled with expensive-looking ingredients, yet priced at only 500 yen per glass, very reasonable. Even the intimidating-looking medicinal liquor became easy to drink when mixed with soda. Since it was a pub crawl, I couldn't order too many, but I want to try them all next time because they are all cheap and delicious. This time, it was fun to compare and enjoy various types of liquor.

I used to visit this izakaya in Kitashinchi often before the pandemic, but recently haven't had the chance to go. The 4 popular dishes are must-orders! Akashiyaki -> fluffy squid pancake -> the taste of Osaka gyoza -> thin-skinned and can eat as many as you want Mochi butter -> can drink just from the smell of butter. Also, the sashimi dishes are cheap and delicious. It's the best place for enjoying good food and drinks!

The place is a bit classy, so I decided to stop by for some draft beer and fried food. The atmosphere hasn't changed since I came here with a junior colleague a few years ago, which is somewhat comforting. I ordered the famous Akashiyaki, which was served on a wooden board like Akashi's egg omelette, and enjoyed it with broth. The taste was as calming as always.

Akashiyaki: 3.3 points... Not much deliciousness in the dough Octopus sashimi: 3.2 points... Small portion, decent price Stir-fried bean sprouts: 3.4 points... Large portion, average taste Pork kimchi: 3.3 points... Average Dumplings: 3.3 points... Bite-sized, average taste Oolong tea: 1.4 points... The tea was difficult to drink, either due to being homemade or bad water quality The parking lot at the Osaka City underground parking lot does not allow vehicles to leave after 11:00 PM, so I parked 300 meters south of the Sonezaki Police Station, which cost 5000 yen for 2 hours and 30 minutes at 500 yen for every 15 minutes.

This is my second visit. I ordered the delicious cured mackerel, Akashiyaki, eggplant, and pork kimchi stir-fry, all of which go well with alcohol. For some reason, whenever I come here, I feel like talking about work and life. It's rare to find a place with such a welcoming atmosphere, so this restaurant is truly special.

In Kitashinchi, the second place we went to was Akashiya. It had been a while since I was in Osaka, so I was looking for a place that felt like Osaka, and Akashiya seemed perfect as soon as we passed by. We quickly decided to go in and ordered their recommended dishes: mochi butter, Akashiyaki, grilled squid, and gyoza. It was a feast! Everything was delicious! Especially the mochi butter, it had a surprisingly good taste. We enjoyed it with sweet potato shochu on the rocks. This restaurant was a great find. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

The day before yesterday, I went to Zenmichi, which was open for business. I arrived about an hour earlier than the day before yesterday and saw a sign saying they were refraining from opening. I remembered that this place nearby was also open, even though it looked dim from the outside. There were only two other customers inside. I had a Heineken, soft steamed dumplings, Akashiyaki, and stir-fried vegetables with salt.

In the nostalgic Minamimorimachi, we were suddenly called to a party in Dojima due to two people canceling last minute because of the new coronavirus. It was a well-known sushi restaurant and it was free, so we decided to join. After enjoying food and drinks, we went to "Akashiya" for the final meal. It is an izakaya known for its Akashiyaki and gyoza. The Akashiyaki was fluffy and hot, and the gyoza was small but delicious. We had a good time and left after about 30 minutes. Despite the lively atmosphere in Kita-Shinchi at that time, it later became quiet due to weekend self-restraint measures. We hope to return to our normal lives soon. Thank you for the meal!
