First visit. We ordered relatively high-priced items (hair crab, softshell turtle, shark fin, abalone) and also drank quite a bit of sake, so it ended up being around 15,000 yen per person, but normally you can enjoy it without spending that much. It was a meal with someone I hadn't seen in a long time, so we ordered without hesitation. The menu and prices are in the images. There is also a hot pot that requires a reservation in advance but is not listed here. The appetizer was mainly beef, which is rare for this type of restaurant, with a good balance of fat and condiments, making it easy to eat quickly. Starting with the sashimi, there was no disappointment. The cuttlefish could have had a bit more fat, but overall it was good. Next, the most delicious dish was the hair crab with crab miso. As shown in the image, the miso is mixed with the crab meat without cutting it, leaving the white meat to enjoy separately, which is delightful. This way, you can enjoy the crab meat itself and also the pleasure of eating it with the miso. The crab was boiled perfectly, with a great texture and taste. We had seconds of this dish. The softshell turtle and shark fin dish with burnt leeks and rice cakes was a bit too sweet for me, but I enjoyed the unique thick texture and umami of the softshell turtle broth. The soup and slightly burnt rice cake go very well together, creating a warm feeling. I also thought that the rice cakes helped to fill up the stomach. The shark fin in the dish was quite thin, so using thicker pieces would allow you to enjoy the broth more. The price may be sufficient as it is now, but it might be necessary to use easily replaceable shark fin due to the ease of ordering without a reservation. The abalone dish is very cost-effective considering the portion size. There is room to make it even softer and enhance the flavor of the abalone, but I am satisfied considering the price. The grilled flounder with miso marinade was cooked and flavored well, but it was too salty, so we left some. Some of the pickled vegetables were a bit too salty, which may be the preference of the owner. Three female staff members, likely part-time workers, appeared at the right times. While they didn't provide detailed explanations, I think the service is sufficient given the price range. If you want to go to a proper Japanese restaurant with a luxurious budget rather than an izakaya, this place is perfect. I definitely want to visit again.

I visited after a long time. We had appetizers, assorted sashimi, beef tataki, grilled eel, corn tempura, crab miso, butter sautéed abalone and asparagus, and pickled yam. Everything was delicious. Thank you very much.

Today I revisited this restaurant to entertain an IT company president from Okayama, as I have a request to make. Just like last time, the dishes here are a delight for both the eyes and the taste buds. The president was also satisfied with the meal. If you're in the Namba area, this restaurant is the most accessible, friendly, and impressive Japanese cuisine spot in my opinion.

The restaurant run by Mr. Ishizu is truly delicious no matter what you eat. You can enjoy dishes that could easily cost over 20,000 yen in Tokyo, so it's really appreciated. The atmosphere is also very nice, and the sashimi, tempura, and traditional Japanese dishes are all well-made and delicious.

[Facility] Parking: Available, Taxi accessible Exterior: Traditional Japanese restaurant atmosphere Interior: Upscale traditional Japanese dining atmosphere Toilet: Spacious unisex toilet Amenity: Aesop products provided [Taste] Total cost: 31,900 yen (for 3 people) Course: Set menu for 3,000 yen (A la carte options available) Drink: Sake, hot sake, fruit liquor [Service] Payment: Credit cards accepted Customer service: The manager is very friendly and leaves a great impression [Overall Review] We ordered a variety of dishes and drinks, and both the quality of the food and sake were excellent. Surprisingly, the prices were reasonable for the amount we ordered. With a wide selection of options and affordable prices, this restaurant is perfect for business meetings with private dining rooms available.

I usually check the reviews on Tabelog before going to a restaurant, and this time I tried the chef's special course. The appetizer was a delicious pork soup with a hint of sweetness from the pork. The sashimi included squid, clams, tuna, and fatty tuna, all of which were very tasty. The meal also had a whitefish dish, grilled flounder in Kyoto style, and a delicious swordfish dish. The highlight was the salmon roe and rice dish, which was the best I've ever had. The almond tofu and strawberry dessert was rich and tasty. Overall, the meal lived up to its high ratings, and I definitely want to come back again.

I visited during dinner time on a regular day. The interior of the restaurant is clean and spacious, making it suitable for business entertaining. They offer course menus, but I chose various items a la carte. The menu has a wide variety of options, which makes choosing enjoyable. The swordfish was really thick and all bones were removed. Thank you for the delicious meal!

We visited this restaurant that we were curious about, as both my wife and I were in the mood for Japanese food. We were able to make a reservation smoothly and enjoyed the following dishes: 1) Appetizer (stir-fried meat and vegetables) 2) Assorted sashimi 3) Grilled shirako (cod milt) 4) Lotus root manju 5) Grilled oysters with soy sauce 6) Karasumi (salted mullet roe) with daikon radish 7) Crab miso 8) Beef tendon curry. We also had the following drinks: 1) 2 bottles of Asahi beer 2) 1 cup of Isomansan sake 3) 1 cup of Hitoriki sake 4) 1 glass of white wine. As expected, all the dishes were delicious and paired well with the drinks. We would like to visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I had a memory of eating a delicious kaiseki course before, so I planned to visit this time with the intention of having the course again. However, I found out that I needed to order the course in advance by the previous day, so this time it became a la carte. I tried to put together a menu that resembled a kaiseki course as much as possible, but there were only izakaya-style dishes available, so I gave up on eating it as kaiseki cuisine. The quality of the dishes was high and the prices were reasonable. I think everything was delicious, but... I didn't feel excited or impressed.

Meeting in the form of a roundtable discussion. Today, after finishing up some business in Horie, I visited a place that caught my eye, Washoku Ishitsu. Among the many dining options in the area, this place stands out quietly with its traditional Japanese cuisine. - Assorted sashimi: tuna, Spanish mackerel, white shrimp, whale bacon, squid, sea urchin - Grilled ginkgo nuts - Cod milt with ponzu sauce - Abalone and asparagus butter sauté - Lotus root manju - Crab rice porridge - Edamame - Karasumi (bottarga) with daikon radish - Tuna with sake lees and cream cheese Everything I ate was delicious. Even though I sat at a table this time and couldn't talk much with the chef, they served amazing dishes. I will definitely visit again when I'm in the area. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

The food was delicious, but the overpowering smell of the wet towel (not a bad smell, more like fabric softener) made it hard to enjoy the meal. I asked for a different towel with no smell, and they offered one without a smell. I wish they had given me that option from the beginning. I was so preoccupied with the towel smell that I barely remember the food, except for the fact that there was sashimi and whale on the same plate, which I found off-putting. Overall, I think the food was tasty. This restaurant is recommended for people who are not sensitive to smells.

Ishizu at Nishiohashi. ★Assorted appetizers - beef, fried tofu, and komatsuna in dashi broth. The dashi with shichimi spice was delicious! ★Sashimi assortment (2,980 yen) The fish was surprisingly sweet and the shrimp and sea urchin were particularly delicious. ★Homemade karasumi with daikon (1,880 yen) Personally, this was the best dish. The karasumi was rich and smoky like smoked cheese! The daikon was sweet like a pear. ・Rare fried natural bluefin tuna (1,680 yen) Light and delicious despite being fried. Goes well with tartar sauce or wasabi. ・Grilled golden snapper The fish was light and delicious despite the presence of fat. The natural sweetness of the fish and the karasumi were impressive.

It had been a long time since I had course cuisine! From the appetizer to the dessert, the dishes were beautifully presented, in easy-to-eat sizes, with a wide range of flavors, and delicious until the end! Men might find the portions a bit small, but for women, it's just right! It felt like the course was tailored towards women. I definitely want to go again for this course cuisine!

"I visited the restaurant "Washoku Ishitsu". This restaurant is located a 5-minute walk from Nishiohashi Station and is a popular spot with a Tabelog rating of 3.77. I had visited before with a friend and remembered how delicious it was, so even though some time had passed, I decided to revisit. The interior of the restaurant is clean and the seating is spaced out nicely, allowing for a relaxed dining experience. While a la carte ordering is possible, this time I made a reservation for the 7-course omakase menu priced at 8,900 yen including tax. We started with a toast with beer. The first dish was an appetizer with edamame, mozuku seaweed, hokkigai sushi, and hoozuki. The hokkigai was delicious! Next was sashimi, beautifully presented and fresh. The soup course featured red snapper and man'yoji togarashi with junsai, a perfect balance of flavors. The simmered dish was eggplant, with a perfect seasoning and the addition of sea grapes. The grilled dish was eel, undeniably delicious. The rice cooked in a clay pot and pickles were so good that I had to ask for seconds. I was planning to order more, but they surprised us with conger eel as a service dish, which was also outstanding. The dessert was an ice cream with a perfect balance of strawberry acidity. I left the restaurant fully satisfied and my stomach full. It was delicious and I highly recommend it. #Hiroguruman"

A great traditional Japanese restaurant in Osaka. They have a good number of seats and offer a la carte options as well. The menu is well thought out, and it's a convenient place to dine. It's nice that you can order the luxurious turtle and shark fin hot pot from the a la carte menu. Some of their menu items include: Inca Awakening Potato Salad for 780 yen, Seafood Nanban Pickles with Tartar Sauce for 1080 yen, Marinated Wagyu Beef for 1080 yen, Turtle and Shark Fin Hot Pot for 3880 yen, Lotus Root Manju with Crab Sauce for 1680 yen, and Beef Tendon Curry for 1280 yen.

The black flounder in Nishikyo-yaki was delicious with its perfect seasoning and thick meat. The small taro with crab meat sauce was crispy and fragrant after being fried and topped with sauce. The softshell turtle used to have shark fin in it, but this time it was missing. The meat was scarce and lacked ingredients like grilled leeks...disappointing.

For my girlfriend who loves Japanese food, we had a course dinner tonight. We reserved a 7-course meal for 8000 yen! The courses included: Appetizer - Cod milt with dashi sauce, sashimi platter with squid, tuna, and striped jack fish, White shrimp soup with crab meat, Matsutake mushroom dish, Grilled fish on cedar plank, Rice pot with grilled mackerel and salmon roe, Pickles, Dessert - Black honey ice cream, Shine Muscat grapes, Persimmon, Pear. We also enjoyed 1 beer and 2 servings of sake. The soup had a rich flavor, and we were happy with the sake pairing. The portion sizes were a bit small, but we loved the rice pot dish at the end. The restaurant wasn't too crowded, so it was easy to make a reservation. We will definitely visit again!

On Saturday or Sunday around 6:00 PM, it was not crowded. The exterior has a charming appearance and the interior has a gentle, calming color scheme. The tables are spacious and the chairs are comfortable. From the moment I entered, I had the impression that it was a good restaurant. The menu offers course meals and a la carte options, and on this day, I chose a la carte. Overall, the food was delicious with fresh ingredients and a gentle yet flavorful seasoning. The portion size of each dish was small, and although it was a bit pricey, the service was excellent. It was truly a wonderful restaurant experience. Thank you for the meal.

"Ishitsu" is a Japanese restaurant located in Yotsuhashi. The menu includes an 8-inch dish, sashimi, steamed conger eel and matsutake mushroom, lotus root with crab meat sauce, clay pot rice, pickles, red miso soup, and dessert. The dishes use ingredients that evoke the feeling of autumn and are beautifully presented. The portion sizes are just right, allowing you to enjoy the meal until the end without feeling too full. The plating is also very elegant, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is calm and cozy, making it a very pleasant dining experience.

The desired shop was closed, and I was at a loss for where to go, when suddenly I saw a sign for lunch set meals in front of Ishitsu-san's place! Normally, this place is only open for dinner, and I had been wanting to come here for a while but never had the chance. I didn't expect them to have a lunch menu! Inside, there was a lovely and calming traditional Japanese atmosphere. Instead of sitting at the counter, I was led to a private room in the back. I chose the Japanese lunch set for 1500 yen. Soon, the beautifully arranged Japanese meal arrived. The dishes were served in nice plates, and one of the small dishes had a cute illustration of Sazae-san. ・Vinegared dish with cucumber, seaweed, firefly squid, tomato, and zucchini. ・Tuna sashimi on a bed of shredded radish. ・Nanbanzuke (marinated fish) with smelt fish. It had a good balance of vinegar and dashi broth. ・Grilled belt fish with tender and moist flesh. ・Dashimaki tamago (rolled omelette). ・Tempura with shrimp, eggplant, and lotus root. ・Miso soup with deep-fried tofu, onion, green onion, and trefoil. ・Rice topped with seasoned dried baby sardines. Each dish was carefully prepared, and it was a refined and elegant Japanese meal. I must come back for dinner sometime. Thank you for the delicious meal.

The combination of shark fin, softshell turtle, sesame tofu, and green onions in a round pot was exquisite and quite delicious. I was happy to see softshell turtle on the menu as I love it. The meat was cooked perfectly, with a delicious flavor. I am curious to try the fish dishes next time. I will definitely come back.
