I went to the table seats on the second floor. There were about five tables for four people each. Even though it was a rainy weekday, it was full, so I had to share a table with another customer with a partition. It was cold, but I was happy with the motsunabe (offal hot pot)!! The broth was incredibly delicious. The horse meat yukhoe (Korean-style raw beef) was also delicious. The all-you-can-drink option had a glass exchange system, and the chopstick wrapper was like a fortune cookie, which was fun. It would be appreciated by foreigners too!

I was hanging out with a friend in Namba when suddenly we felt like eating motsunabe. We searched for a restaurant and found one with a neon sign and a modern concrete exterior, despite being a relatively old establishment of around 17 years. We ordered motsunabe, vinegar motsu, and shrimp yukhoe. The COVID restrictions had been eased, and there were many foreign customers inside. One of the staff members was speaking in Korean to Korean customers, giving off a true Namba vibe. The motsu had a rich miso flavor with a strong garlic taste. The vinegar motsu was refreshing and the shrimp yukhoe was chewy and delicious, perfect with beer. The prices were a bit high, but the quality was evident. I would definitely come back again.

It suddenly got cold, so I changed my plans from curry to hot pot and went to the newly relocated restaurant called Motsu Musou Yumaru. It's quite close to the old location. I ordered the white miso motsu hot pot, opting for 2 servings because I have a big appetite. I chose level 2 white miso with a bit more garlic than the default. I also ordered a cup of oolong tea. The hot pot arrived with a generous amount of cabbage, leek, bean sprouts, and other vegetables. It took about 10 minutes for the motsu hot pot to cook and it looked delicious. The white miso paired well with the motsu, and the vegetables soaked up the rich broth, making it very tasty. I couldn't stop eating and finished it quickly. For the finishing touch, I added champon noodles, which complemented the complex broth perfectly. Then, I enjoyed the cheese risotto maple porridge, which was made with white miso, garlic, motsu broth, and cheese - it was incredibly delicious. Before leaving, I chatted with a familiar staff member on the first floor and received a candy. It made me realize the challenges the restaurant faced during the pandemic. Let's keep going and support them by enjoying motsu hot pot.

I went with a friend and enjoyed the all-you-can-drink option that wasn't too expensive. It had been a while since I had motsunabe, and it was delicious! The broth was rich and creamy, perfect for chasing with drinks. The side dishes were also tasty, which made the drinks go down smoothly. I would definitely recommend this motsunabe restaurant to others.

At 6:00 PM, many menu items were sold out, and I was disappointed that I couldn't have the chicken hot pot I was looking forward to. However, when I ordered the motsunabe (white miso Level 2) while feeling down, it was so delicious that my disappointment disappeared. I plan to come back for a rematch at opening time next time.

The white miso tripe hot pot was delicious. The tripe was large and had a satisfying texture. Usually, tripe shrinks when cooked, but not here. The garlic flavor was strong and appetizing. The specialty grilled tripe was also large and the sweet and savory sauce paired well with it. Thank you for the meal.

I wanted to eat motsunabe for a long time! Just before going, I searched for various places, but there were few options available on the day... In the midst of this, I called here and they said I could come. It seems like they have renovated? The exterior has a pop neon look. The first floor is just the reception, and the seating is on the second floor. It was almost full. "Over there, please," they said... Oh, it's a shared table. It's a shared table for six people with acrylic dividers in between. Today seems to be a shared table day (;´∀`). Anyway, motsunabe it is. They recommended the white miso level 2 as the best, so I ordered that. I also ordered motsu yaki, kimchi assortment, and cheese chijimi. The menu is not very extensive. The motsunabe arrived. They said to eat the vegetables once they soften. Let's eat♪ The motsu pieces are big and fluffy, quite delicious. The soup, white miso, feels unusual. It's delicious, but a bit more refined. I feel like it could use more garlic like in Hakata style. Maybe level 3 would be better. The motsu yaki arrived. This one is also big and juicy with a sweet and savory sauce, delicious. It's quite big, so I started feeling a bit heavy... Break time. The kimchi is normal. The chijimi is also normal. You can order it without cheese, but I wonder if anyone does that. It's quite heavy with too much cheese... Maybe cheese isn't necessary for chijimi (;´∀`) I ate too much motsu at once and started to slow down in the second half (;´∀`)... Motsu is high in fat after all~ But the motsu here is big and flavorful, so I recommend it to motsu lovers. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I went to Yumaru for a party. I had been there a few years ago, but it seemed like the atmosphere had completely changed! The second floor had been turned into table seating, which made it really comfortable. We had a great time chatting and enjoying ourselves. The food was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Today we had a year-end party with everyone! It's becoming an annual tradition, visiting Yumaru and making a reservation~! We arrived at the restaurant at 7 pm on a weekday and when we tried to take a picture of the exterior, we saw customers entering one after another! About 4 groups, I think? But it seemed like those who didn't have a reservation couldn't get in, so seriously, reservations are a must! You can order from your smartphone, which is also very convenient and great. We toasted with Toribii and shared the dishes we were interested in. - Hakata specialty Sumotsu (550 yen) - Taiwanese-style spicy dish (1,700 yen x 2 servings) - Additional hot pot: Motsu (950 yen), Vegetable platter (cabbage/burdock bean sprouts/leeks, 600 yen), Tofu (220 yen) - Moon-viewing grilled motsu (1,250 yen) - Cheese Chijimi (660 yen) - Additional hot pot: Champon (330 yen x 2) The Sumotsu was light and tangy with ponzu sauce, so delicious that you could eat as much as you want! Followed by the moon-viewing grilled motsu with egg yolk, which was incredibly delicious! The high-quality fatty motsu melted in your mouth and was so delicious! I don't think you can find motsu of this level elsewhere. We chose the spicy hot pot for the motsu. The combination of meat miso and motsu was so flavorful, and the broth was incredibly delicious! It had plenty of leeks and burdock, and lots of vegetables, making it the best! It was so delicious that we ordered more, and the staff brought the hot pot and cooked it for us! It's nice to do it yourself, but it's so nice when they do it for you, right? In between, we had the cheese chijimi, which was surprisingly delicious, and I definitely want to eat it again! The crispy surface was so delicious that I was impressed, so I highly recommend it! Finally, we finished with champon to fill our bellies. Yumaru's motsu is always incredibly delicious no matter when you eat it! Thank you for the feast! ♥(・∀・)♥

The place has been renovated and looks beautiful! I remember it used to have tatami seating. The spacing between tables is wide, making it relaxing and enjoyable. I was craving for this white miso motsunabe... It's sweet and flavorful, I really love it. The motsu is firm and delicious ❤️ They use fresh motsu for it. Also, the asparagus-wrapped pork! It's huge! So tasty! #MustEat I always feel like eating motsunabe regularly, I love it! Thank you for the delicious meal ✨ Perfect for "Girls' night out, hanging out with friends, date" ===========

In Minami, the motsunabe restaurant has been renovated and the interior is very clean, with good customer service from the staff. The motsunabe with white miso broth is delicious, the offal is tender without any unpleasant smell, and the vegetables are so tasty that you'll want to order more. Finish off with champon noodles for a satisfying meal!

I don't know the name of the shopping street, but there is a restaurant located inside the shopping street! When I was obsessed with motsunabe, I visited this place and was amazed by their motsu-yaki! The motsu was big, chewy, and the seasoning was sweet and savory, making it delicious! I'm not sure if it's just me, but isn't it rare to find a restaurant specializing in motsu-yaki? When I visited again after a long time, it was still delicious as ever! It's strange that there are not many people there, maybe it's just by chance.

I happened to come across this restaurant in Namba while searching for a motsunabe restaurant. I ate in a tatami room. There was enough distance between the other customers, so I didn't have to worry about crowding and was able to eat leisurely. The food was delicious. Side dishes like sumotsu were also tasty. It's cheap and satisfying. The champon was the perfect way to finish the meal. Cheap and delicious is the best combination! It's great for drinking nearby. The only downside was that many of the side dishes were sold out.

This day was a long-awaited year-end party with friends! My friend requested motsunabe, so we had to go to Yumaru! When we entered the restaurant, both the first and second floors were packed! Seems like everyone thinks of motsunabe when it comes to winter! We started with some appetizers, then enjoyed the motsunabe and other dishes together. The rich soup was delicious, filled with cabbage, leeks, bean sprouts, and burdock. The motsu was fresh and large, and we also tried the motsuyaki, which was high-quality. We ended the meal with champon, and the staff kindly offered to add more broth. Overall, it was a satisfying and delicious meal at Yumaru!

I first visited this place 4 years ago! They serve large, juicy pieces of motsu. Even when boiled, the motsu doesn't melt and shrink, which I think makes the food delicious! Their motsu yaki is also excellent, and I regularly come back to eat there. Thank you for the delicious meal!

As I was walking along Senbon-dori, I was drawn to the sign for Motsu Muso and decided to go in! Even though it's getting warmer, the second floor seating area was quite busy with customers. The famous motsu nabe is a miso-based soup with a hint of garlic and the sweetness of miso, blending perfectly with the richness of the motsu. The staff were cheerful and explained the important points about the hot pot, so we could enjoy it at the perfect moment. The sweet and savory grilled motsu was juicy and delicious.

On December 20, 2019, I got off at Nankai Namba Station and planned to enjoy some oden at "Okame," my favorite oden restaurant in Hozenji Yokocho, while sipping on hot sake. However, when I arrived at the restaurant around 10 p.m., the lanterns were already turned off with a sign saying "Closed for the day." Disappointed, I decided to visit "Aiai Mochi," a traditional mochi shop in the Namba Aibashi Shotengai, where I had hot tea and enjoyed two grilled mochi while wandering through the narrow alleys of Sennichimae in search of dinner. I ended up choosing "Motsu Muso Yumaru Sennichimae Honten," a restaurant specializing in motsunabe (offal hot pot) and creative dishes. The first floor had a long table with 12 seats and an open kitchen, with only one other customer present. I sat at the farthest table and ordered the following dishes, all excluding tax: - Bottled beer Carlsberg 500 yen - Hakata specialty "Sumotsu" 496 yen - Motsunabe, white miso level 2 1200 yen - Shari Shari Chuu Grapefruit 550 yen - Teppan spicy motsuyaki 1100 yen - Additional Chanpon for nabe 300 yen I started with Carlsberg beer, poured into a glass by myself, and enjoyed it. As an appetizer, I chose the Hakata specialty "Sumotsu," which was boiled pork offal with plenty of sesame, chopped green onions, and ponzu sauce. After 5 minutes, the motsunabe arrived on a portable gas stove. I chose the most popular option, white miso level 2, which had a rich flavor with increased garlic and miso as the level goes up. The motsunabe included plenty of cabbage and bean sprouts lightly simmered, topped with chives and red chili peppers. The offal was tender and flavorful, and the cabbage added a sweet taste to the dish. Adding yuzu pepper made it even more delicious. I then shifted to "Shari Shari Chuu Grapefruit," a drink with frozen grapefruit pieces on top, which was refreshing and paired well with the next spicy dish. Feeling still hungry, I added the "Teppan Spicy Motsuyaki." The dish was cooked on a hot plate with cabbage, bean sprouts, offal, red chili peppers, and gochujang sauce. It was spicy and made me sweat a little, but it was very tasty and went well with alcohol. For the finale, I added "Chanpon" to the remaining nabe broth, cooked it for 2 minutes, and enjoyed the dish with thick noodles. The portion was generous, and I was full by the end of the meal. I ended up spending more than I had planned, but the experience was worth it. I used to visit Hakata often during my 20 years of working in Shimonoseki and enjoyed motsunabe there. This winter, I plan to make motsunabe at home to match the taste of this restaurant. As I left, I sucked on the candy given to me and headed home, feeling satisfied with the delicious meal. Thank you for the feast!

Today, I had a year-end party with long-time familiar colleagues that I've known for almost 30 years. We have been having drinking parties at least 3 times a year on average for the past 30 years, so we must have had over 100 drinking parties with this group. As usual, I took on the role of the organizer for this gathering. The request was to have the party in Minami, so I arranged for us to meet at "Motsu Musou Yumaru." This place is a popular spot for young people that serves motsu nabe (offal hot pot), located slightly north of Sougouya near Aiai Bridge, within the Sougouya shopping street. I made a reservation for the most affordable "Teppan Motsu Yaki Tabehoudai Course" (3500 yen, 2-hour all-you-can-drink, last order 90 minutes). For an additional 300 yen, you can make the motsu yaki extremely spicy. Personally, I wanted to go for the spicy option, but as the organizer, I decided to hold back in case it upset anyone's stomach. The all-you-can-drink menu had a variety of options, including draft beer and Premium Malt's, which was a pleasant surprise. The motsu yaki was chewy and rich in flavor, quite delicious! The sauce was also tasty, perfect for those who love offal. Since it was all-you-can-eat, we ordered more motsu yaki. Despite the slightly older age group of our party, we managed to finish everything, including the yakisoba at the end, in no time (*^^*). The customers were mostly young people, and the staff was energetic and lively, creating a perfect atmosphere for a year-end party. I thought the course price would be 3,850 yen including tax, but for some reason, it was actually 3,500 yen tax included! I felt like I got a good deal (・∀・).

I had the white miso-based motsu nabe at Yumaru in Senri days ago. I usually make motsu nabe with a soy sauce base when cooking at home, so this was my first time trying a white miso base, and it was delicious! As I ate, the slightly sweet soup with high-quality motsu fat melted out, giving it a rich tonkotsu ramen-like flavor. The tofu seemed to have some kind of special preparation, as it had a hint of yuzu when I bit into it. I couldn't resist and ended up ordering more tofu and motsu. I added champon noodles at the end, and they paired perfectly with the soup. I finished it all in no time. Normally, that would be the end, but I didn't want to waste any of the soup, so I added rice. And to my surprise, it even came with cheese! Thank you for the delicious meal!

It's been a while since I visited this restaurant, probably around the 5th time. The beef tripe hot pot is rich and flavorful, at level 2. When you order the course, it comes with grilled beef tripe as well. It seems like the portion of grilled beef tripe has become smaller or maybe it's just my imagination. It's delicious, but a bit disappointing. The flavor is rich with a miso base, a hint of sweetness, and a bit of spiciness. The portion is enough for 3 people if there are 2 of you. The soup has a lot of garlic, so it can make you smell quite strong (laughs). Be careful, you might still smell the next day. Overall, it was a bit disappointing compared to before, but it was a delicious beef tripe hot pot.
