I apologize for the low image quality as this was taken with a mobile phone, not a digital camera. This is "Tsumakago" at the Hankyu Higashi-dori Shopping Street in Osaka Umeda, owned by the Rikimaru Group. We held our monthly "Fujim Off Meeting" as usual this month. Unfortunately, the Fujim President will be on a trip to Okinawa starting tomorrow, so he was absent. However, the rest of us had a great time with the usual members. We visited two different places as always! When we entered the restaurant, there were no other customers yet, but the head chef, Mr. K, greeted us with a smile. We were a group of four today, with the President going to Okinawa and another member preparing to return to Shikoku, so we got a small private room for half of us. First, the Vice President and I made a toast! I had my usual draft beer, while the Vice President had a lemon chu-hi. When it comes to the Rikimaru Group, their limited Kamayaki dishes are a must-try! We ordered a variety of Kamayaki dishes. First up was the Salmon Kamayaki (¥300), which was absolutely delicious. The Vice President seemed to be enjoying it a lot, even eating most of it by himself. Next was the Yellowtail Kamayaki (¥300), which was also amazing. The white flesh was so tender and luxurious, definitely worth more than the price. We also ordered a Daikon Salad (¥300) to balance out the oily Kamayaki dishes. The bitterness of the daikon was surprisingly refreshing. We couldn't resist trying the Spicy Ramen Salad with Eating Chili Oil (¥315), which was a creative and delicious dish. We also ordered the Kakubin Highball (¥300) and the Braised Pork Feet (¥300), both of which were fantastic. The Scallop with Ponzu Sauce (¥300) was a hit, with the flame visible between the shells. The Nasu Yaki (¥315) was as delicious as always, and the Vice President ordered the Chikuwa Tempura (¥300), which was a bit heavy but tasty. The Lotus Root Stuffed with Meat (¥300) had a great texture, and the Mountain Yam Grilled on Charcoal (¥300) was also enjoyable. Finally, our third member from Tokyo, "CityBoy," arrived. It was a great meal with good company and delicious food.
