I went to a yakiniku restaurant in Nishinari-ku, Osaka. It's an old shop that has been popular lately, with people lining up outside. I was curious about why there was always a line, so I decided to check it out. The restaurant had a small interior with counter and table seating. I ordered the premium tongue, premium loin, premium belly, premium skirt meat, beef intestine, kimchi platter, and oxtail soup. The sauce was a miso-based sauce, rich and traditional. I was most impressed by the premium tongue, which was real tongue from Japanese beef. It's not easy to find this quality of tongue, so the restaurant's strength lies in its sourcing. They can get rare cuts like oxtail, which is quite impressive. The flavor was spot on, and I can see why the word of mouth is spreading. It was a delicious meal!

We lined up before 5:00 and entered the restaurant. A couple of regulars who arrived later were allowed to enter first. They were served a chef's choice menu, which was wonderful. There was a large cutting board in the center of the kitchen where the chef prepared the meat. I would love to visit this restaurant again.

Grilled meat cooked quickly on a gas stove in the traditional style of a popular yakiniku restaurant. The homemade miso-style sauce really brings out the flavor of the meat and it's quite delicious. I recommend the harami (skirt steak) and horumon (offal) platter. It goes really well with a draft beer. It's cool to watch the owner cutting and preparing the meat right in front of the counter.

On a regular night after 8 pm, about 60% of the seats were filled with local customers. I asked the staff and found out they were relatives of the owner of Kuiya in Tenjacha. I ordered half portions of top tongue, harami, top mino, and heart, along with a large bottle, totaling 4,030 yen. The top tongue had a crispy texture with a juicy sweetness, very delicious. The harami was tender but a bit salty. The top mino had a crispy texture with good chewiness, while the heart was just average. The price of the meat has increased significantly, so ordering a few items can quickly add up to a high price. It's appreciated that they offer half portions, making it more affordable.

After refreshing in the sauna at this inn, we went to a yakiniku restaurant called "Kuiya" in Tenkachaya. The meat and offal were delicious. In particular, the marbled beef and chewy harami were full of umami and sweetness. #Osaka #OsakaSightseeing #OsakaGourmet #OsakaYakiniku #Tenkachaya #TenkachayaSightseeing #TenkachayaGourmet #TenkachayaYakiniku #Yakiniku #Kuiya #MarbledBeef #Harami

I love the yakiniku restaurant at Tenkacha-ya. The premium salted tongue and premium Harami here are irresistible. The premium tripe is also chewy and I love the way they cut it here. It's comfortable because you can smoke cigarettes. It's also convenient to pay with MerPay, which is a modern and nice point. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Nice to meet you, I'm Chappy Jinbo. I visited Kuiya located at 1-18-26 Tenkachaya, Nishinari-ku. The phone number is 06-6651-6782. The nearest station is Imahune Station. This was my first time visiting. I ordered 2 glasses of draft beer, beef intestines, beef tongue, beef skirt, and rice. The quality of each cut was surprisingly high. I especially enjoyed the beef tongue. However, the overall price range left a strong impression as being high. The hormone grilled on a gas roaster was also excellent, with a smoky and flavorful taste. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was also nice, making it a place I would like to visit again.

This is a delicious restaurant with great cost performance! They also have thorough infection prevention measures in place!

Simply delicious

I decided to visit a yakiniku restaurant that looked delicious online. The name of the restaurant is "Kuiya" and it is located in Tenkachaya 1-chome, Nishinari-ku. The nearest station would be Hanazonocho Station on the Yotsubashi Line. The restaurant was quite deep in the neighborhood. Inside the restaurant, there was an L-shaped counter and two tatami seating areas, with a total seating capacity of around 20 people. We sat at the counter and looked at the menu. The prices were a bit on the high side compared to a restaurant I visited recently, Sanpuku-en. We ordered a bottle of beer and tried the following dishes: "Kimchi," which was a mild pickled kimchi, "Senmai sashi," which was white senmai served with a delicious sauce, "Shio tan," a large cut of tongue that unfortunately came out frozen, "Tsurami," which was also served frozen and was a bit tough to eat, and "Mino" and "Tetchan," which were not frozen and had a good size and texture. Overall, the meat had a good size and was satisfying to eat, but it would have been better if it wasn't served frozen and if the prices were a bit more affordable. Thank you for the meal!

This is a yakiniku restaurant located around the middle of Hanazono Station on the Yotsubashi Line and Imazato Station on the Hankai Line. It's about a 3-minute walk from Imazato Station. The exterior has a traditional yakiniku restaurant feel, with a red tent, a large indigo noren curtain, and a yellow sign. The interior has counter seats surrounding the kitchen and a raised seating area. It can accommodate about 20 people. The cooking is done by a young owner and possibly his father, with a woman assisting, possibly the old and new proprietress. During my visit around 6 p.m. on a weekday, about 80% of the customers seemed to be regulars from the area. There were also quite a few solo diners. They use a gas roaster for cooking in the traditional style, making it easy even for amateurs to cook without unevenness. The menu is typical for a yakiniku restaurant, with a decent selection of horumon (offal). All items are available in half portions, which is convenient. The alcohol selection is a bit limited, but as long as there's beer, it's not a problem. They serve cabbage as a complimentary appetizer. I ordered various items, starting with the roast and barageta, both marinated in sauce. The roast was sliced to order and had a surprisingly good amount of fat, but it melted in the mouth without being too heavy. The barageta was a recommended item of the day, with a great taste despite its uneven appearance. The beef tongue was served as a whole piece, and it was tender and juicy, a classic yakiniku dish. The harami (skirt steak) had a strong marinade, was tender with a good amount of fat, and had a rich flavor. The assorted offal included heart, mino (tripe), and kimo (liver), each offering a unique texture and taste. The red sen (tripe) was thick and juicy, with a delicious umami flavor. The tail soup was simple yet flavorful, with tender tail meat and a soft-boiled egg. The bean sprout namul was crunchy and seasoned with soy sauce. Overall, the meal was satisfying, and the tail soup was particularly outstanding. This restaurant is highly recommended for its delicious food and cozy atmosphere.

A while back, a meat vendor recommended two barbecue restaurants in Nishinari, and one of them is this place. It's a bit of a walk from my usual station at Tenkachaya, so I only go there about once every two years, but this place is truly special. Despite its old appearance, the inside is clean and cozy, run by what seems to be a family. The atmosphere is excellent, with a high rate of regular customers. If there were a place like this near my home, I would probably visit all the time. The thickly sliced tongue with a slightly rich seasoning might make it hard to enjoy tongue elsewhere. I had the belly, the skirt, the tripe, and a beer, and as the evening set in, I couldn't help but wish the scent of barbecue in this restaurant could linger on my clothes.

Today, I went to "Yakiniku Kuiya" for the first time in a while. It's the day after payday, so I decided to splurge a bit. We sat at the L-shaped counter towards the back. My companion is a big eater, so I was a bit worried. I ordered a non-alcoholic beer, as I was the designated driver. My companion had tea, as they are only 15 years old. We started with the "Salted Tongue for 1500 yen" for two people. It was cooked with lemon juice and was really delicious. It melted in my mouth. Next, we had the "Tare-grilled Belly for 1100 yen" for two people. It had a good amount of fat and cooked quickly. It tasted amazing with the miso-flavored sauce. My companion quickly finished their rice, so we ordered another serving. They also had the "Tail Soup for 850 yen," which looked appetizing. We also ordered the "Harami" for two people. It was average today, usually it has more marbling and is bigger. We also ordered the "Tsurami, Tecchan, Akasen," which were all excellent quality. We also grilled some cabbage and finished everything. The total bill came to 12,000 yen, which was a bit pricey for two people. However, the quality was outstanding, and despite the distance, we left satisfied.

This restaurant has been frequented by my colleagues at work for about ten years. It is located a bit far away and the building looks old, but the taste is excellent. We left it to the chef's choice, starting with salted tongue, then moving on to beef belly, tripe, hormone, and ribs. Since it's this season, we couldn't have yukhoe or raw liver, but I believe there are no bad choices on the menu. The oxtail soup we had at the end was exceptional and perfect for finishing the meal. While Osaka's traditional Tsuruhashi area is great, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant at least once.
