【First Visit to Koreatown‼️】Shokudo Yamada Shoten, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture, Ikuno-ku, Momodani 5-5-47 Recently, I've been sticking to my routine, so I decided to have some Korean cuisine for a change. I found out they serve breakfast, and since it's close to my house, I decided to visit for lunch today. Upon arrival at 11:30, there was a line... I'm not a fan of waiting in line, but I did my best. [Menu Items I Tried This Time] ⚪︎ Nakkoop Nakkoop is a Korean dish that combines "nakchi" (octopus), "kopchang" (intestines), and "seu" (shrimp). It comes with various side dishes like kimchi and namul, and the main dish is a Korean soup with octopus, intestines, and shrimp, served over stone-baked rice with the option to add chive kimchi and Korean seaweed sprinkles. It's a hearty dish with amazing flavors and composition that I really enjoyed and would definitely want to eat again! ⚪︎ Kimchi Jjigae This dish has a tangy flavor that pairs well with the animal broth. It's not just spicy, but also has a sourness that balances the overall taste and enhances the appetite. ⚪︎ Yamada-style Cold Noodles Despite looking spicy, it's surprisingly easy to eat with a moderate portion that both men and women would enjoy. I felt like I ate a lot, but I didn't feel heavy or uncomfortable afterwards. It left a good impression and made me want to come back again. Let's go together next time! P.S. As many may already know, there is a shop selling various types of kimchi just a 1-2 minute walk away from Yamada Shoten, so I bought two types as souvenirs. I was surprised by the wide variety of kimchi available there. With so many types, it wouldn't get boring even if you came every day. It was incredibly delicious, perfect for rice or as a side dish for drinks. 【Business Hours】 [Weekdays] 7:00-15:00 (Breakfast 7:00-10:00) [Sat, Sun, Holidays] 7:00-16:00 (Breakfast 7:00-10:00) 【Tabelog】https://tabelog.com/osaka/A2701/A270205/27131613/ 【Instagram】https://instagram.com/yamada.8338?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== #ShokudoYamadaShoten #TsuruhashiGourmet #Koreatown #KoreanCuisine #YamadaShoten

I always stop by Yamada Shoten for their delicious kimchi, but this time I tried their kimchi jjigae for lunch and it was absolutely amazing! They also serve only 10 bowls of cold noodles per day! It's the perfect menu for hot days when you want to eat something spicy and work up a good sweat. The kimchi is free and you can have as many refills as you want. For authentic Korean cuisine, this is the place to go!

I usually just buy kimchi and go home, but I ate at this restaurant for the first time. I ordered MIX hormone bowl, bibim noodles, tuna salad, kimchi, and free refills. First, I got a variety of kimchi dishes in small plates, all of which were delicious. The dishes were cheap and tasty.✨

Having lunch at "Shokudo Yamada Shoten" run by a kimchi store in "Koreatown" in Momodani, Osaka. When I arrived at the restaurant, there was a line, but I really wanted to try a specific dish, so I decided to wait patiently under the scorching sun. Sometimes even an old man feels like eating Korean food~(^_^♪ The picture of the storefront was taken when the line disappeared. While waiting, I took a picture of the menu board to pass the time. The restaurant serves breakfast from 7:00 to 10:00, offering dishes like Moyashi Kuppa, Bulgogi, Yukgaejang, and Bibimbap at a reasonable price. The interior is filled with 99% women and 1% old men. The efficient and polite service is very pleasant. This time, I aimed to try the "Yamada-style Naengmyeon," not the Korean or Morioka-style cold noodles. The most popular dish is the ultimate Kimchi Jjigae made by the kimchi store. I want to try "Nakkopse," but I'll wait for it to cool down a bit more...(^_^;) They offer free kimchi service with unlimited refills (both Baechu Kimchi and Daikon Kimchi are deliciously pickled). It's a feast that makes you want to keep eating rice! The Cold Noodles Set Meal (limited to 50 servings per day) costs 900 yen and comes with free extra rice, side dishes (namul), and unlimited kimchi. For just an additional 100 yen to the cold noodles alone, you get a set with rice and three types of namul (bean sprouts, seaweed, and yam fungus), which is a great deal! The soup has a refreshing taste with seafood, vegetables, and chicken broth extract. Delicious!(๑╹ڡ╹๑) So tasty~! It's a different flavor from Pyongyang-style cold noodles, and it's addictive. The ingredients include steamed pork, kimchi, cucumber, dried radish, and Korean seaweed, all generously packed! The crispy texture of dried radish kimchi adds a nice accent. The various textures are very enjoyable. The noodles are made from thin noodles from Kyoto's Tegaku, commonly used by many ramen shops, making it more like cold ramen than cold noodles. It has a firm yet supple taste, not as strong in chewiness as traditional cold noodles. Delicious! Not too hard or too soft, it has a good bite and a rich taste. Enjoying the exquisite kimchi on top of rice. Despite its bright red appearance, the kimchi is not very spicy, but rather has a strong umami flavor. As soon as you eat it, the acidity, umami, and spiciness of the kimchi spread in your mouth, blending with the rice. So tasty!(゜д゜) Super delicious! The crunchy texture of the Baechu Kimchi is also exquisite. Adding kimchi to the cold noodles. Enjoying the change in taste with vinegar. In the second half, savoring the many ingredients together, my mouth is also delighted...(^_-)-☆ Bibimbap 600 yen Comes with soup, namul, and kimchi Since the kimchi was delicious, I bought some kimchi at a nearby store on my way back. Thank you for the delicious meal. Bon appétit. Delicious Food Diary https://ameblo.jp/takoyakikun-1/

This morning's breakfast at Yamada Shoten was great! They open at 7 am and I was the third group to enter. I ordered the Korean-style ramen with rice for 400 yen, while my friend got the Bibimbap for 500 yen. Both meals came with all-you-can-eat kimchi, making it a really cheap and delicious breakfast option. The food was tasty and filling, but be warned, the kimchi was really spicy! My mouth was tingling for a while after eating it.

This is the dining area of Yamada Shoten, the most famous kimchi shop in Koreatown. I went for lunch and the set meal came with a variety of delicious side dishes, and you can have unlimited refills of the kimchi! The staff, mostly young, were all polite and hardworking. The lunch prices are reasonable, and I definitely want to go back again.

The energy in the morning comes from Kuppa. It might be a famous saying!! But Yukkejang! Morning Yukkejang! Yukkejang with rice for 800 yen, free extra serving, free kimchi. The Yukkejang was simmering hot! The spiciness is not too strong, maybe adjusted for Japanese taste. The kimchi restaurant's Yukkejang was full of vegetables and the beef flavor melted into the soup, it was delicious! The kimchi was also really tasty! It's rare to find a place open in the morning like this, so it was crowded.

I visited this place for the second time after having a great experience two weeks ago. Last time, I had Yukgaejang, and this time I tried Kimchi Jjigae. Both dishes were delicious with a strong umami flavor and just the right amount of spiciness. Kimchi Jjigae was a bit spicier than Yukgaejang. The side dishes and kimchi were also very tasty, and we almost ran out of rice because we couldn't get enough! We also shared half portions of regular Kimbap and Tuna Salad among four people. The Kimbap was so good that we ordered some to take home. The value for money here is amazing! I can't believe you get all this at such a great price. I'm looking forward to trying the Kimchi Ramen next time!

Tsuruhashi Koreatown Yamada Shoten @honke.yamada_shouten food stall next to it. They are closed in the mornings when I go shopping, and whenever I try to go at the times they are open, it's always packed so I couldn't eat there. The food stall has closed down, but they opened a new store nearby, so I decided to go check it out. Food Path Yamada Shoten @yamada.8338 opens at 7 am, which is great for those like me who prefer to avoid the Koreatown crowds in the mornings! The morning menu is cheap and attractive, but I decided to order Yukgaejang (which is available even in the morning). Before the main dish arrived, they served 7 types of panchan, and the pickled ginger namul was delicious. I couldn't stop eating it, but it had a refreshing flavor, so I saved some for after the meal. The bubbling Yukgaejang was mildly spicy, with a gentle sweetness from the meat and vegetables. The sweet and tender fatty parts of the meat were especially delicious. I felt lucky whenever I found a piece of fatty meat while eating. While enjoying my meal, I noticed that they offer free extra rice! The menu, which would cost around 1000 to 1200 yen at other restaurants, was only 700 yen here, and I left feeling very satisfied and warm. If I could make a small request, I would love it even more if they offered free refills of kimchi. #OsakaGourmet #TsuruhashiGourmet #TsuruhashiLunch #TsuruhashiKoreatown #TsuruhashiKoreantown #TsuruhashiShoppingStreet #KoreanCuisine #Koreatown #Koreantown #YamadaShoten #Tsuruhashi #OsakaJapan #OsakaTravel #OsakaFood #KoreanFood #Koreatown

It was worth waiting for about an hour during the peak hours. The restaurant was great with unlimited kimchi and delicious mountain jellyfish.

I heard about a cafeteria that serves food early in the morning and you can eat for only one coin, so I decided to visit. You can choose between rice or kimbap with your udon, and the gentle dashi flavor is delicious without adding the sauce. When you add the sauce, it quickly becomes Korean-style. There is a lot of seaweed in it. The kimbap is thin so you can eat it quickly. The kimchi is all very delicious, and when I tried to buy some on my way out, there was a long line at the store.
