I chose the sashimi set meal. It was cheaper than buying sashimi at the supermarket, and it came with side dishes, so I didn't feel the fish was very fresh, but I think the cost performance is great. The rice was a large portion, and you could get free refills. Most people ordered the seafood bowl, but personally, I think the set meal was better. It's a little walk from the station. The interior of the restaurant is a bit small. I visited on a weekday morning, but by the time I started eating, it was already around noon, and there were people waiting outside. If I have the chance, I will use this place again.

I visited around 11:30 am on a regular day. The restaurant was full and I had to wait for about 30 minutes. I ordered the upgraded wasabi pickled bowl. The wasabi pickles were too spicy after the upgrade, but the amount of toppings was not that great. I didn't feel like going back there again.

I visited around 10:20 am. I was the first one there. About 5 groups were already lined up 10 minutes before opening. I ordered the wasabi pickled seafood bowl. I was torn but went with the regular size. The seafood bowl looked beautiful! It had plenty of yellowtail, as well as tuna, salmon, sweet shrimp, and tuna sashimi. The seafood was delicious, but the tuna had a bit of sinew. There was a lot of rice packed in, so there were plenty of side dishes to go with it (pickled plum, rice, pickles, etc.). The sweet rolled omelette was a bit sweet, and the macaroni in the macaroni salad was slightly overcooked. Surprisingly, the eggplant was delicious and I liked it. The miso soup was very hot and a bit difficult to drink. I ate on an empty stomach and was about 70-80% full! Water was served in a large glass, and it was a hearty meal. When I left, there were about 5 groups lined up again. It's popular!

I arrived about 40 minutes before the usual 11:00 opening time. There were no customers ahead of me. Around 15 minutes before opening, a few customers started to arrive, and by the time the store opened, there were about 8 groups waiting behind me. The restaurant was not very spacious, and there were people finishing their meals from the previous round. I ordered the Wasabi Pickled Seafood Bowl for 880 yen! You could upgrade for an additional 200 yen, but I wasn't confident that I could finish it, so I didn't. The contents of the bowl vary depending on the day's ingredients, and that day it was mostly yellowtail, with a little bit of tuna sashimi, 3 pieces of tuna, 1 piece of salmon, and 1 sweet shrimp. (I love salmon, but it's expensive, so it's understandable! haha) Be careful not to put too much grated wasabi in the middle - it's really spicy! The sweet shrimp needed to be peeled, which made my fingers smell fishy and was a bit of a hassle. But the taste was good. The side dishes included rolled omelette, simmered eggplant, macaroni salad with a few bean sprouts mixed in (haha), miso soup, two types of pickles, nori seaweed simmered in soy sauce, and a pickled plum. There was quite a bit of rice, and I ended up leaving about a third of it. Sorry. I didn't make it into ochazuke.

"Wasabi pickled seafood bowl 880 grade up + 200 on weekdays only lunch is a very good deal! I've been curious because gourmet accounts have been going one after another, and finally got to visit when I felt like having seafood. According to Google Maps, they are only open for dinner on Mondays, so it might be lunch only from Tuesday to Friday. There was information beforehand that it gets crowded, so I arrived 10 minutes early and was second in line. It quickly filled up after opening at 11:00! It was good to stand by. The level of crowding may vary depending on the day, so take it as a reference! The normal wasabi pickled seafood bowl is 880 yen, but I was intrigued by the +200 yen grade up option. It was packed with sashimi, the rice was substantial, and the freshness was high with plenty of yellowtail, salmon, and shrimp. There were also many side dishes, and getting all this for under 1,000 yen is a great deal! And if you ask, you can also get some dashi broth! Finishing with dashi tea soup is the best. It is limited in quantity, so it ends when sold out. I was also interested in other set meals that are even cheaper. I received a voucher for takoyaki, so I might visit again at night! It was delicious. Thank you for the meal."

The atmosphere of the shop was enjoyable with nostalgic music playing! The takoyaki, a specialty of the shop, was very delicious! The fried rice was also tasty, and I want to try other dishes as well! I would like to visit again! Thank you very much!

Lunchtime in July of the 5th year of Reiwa (11:00-14:00) - Wasabi-pickled seafood bowl for 880 yen. It comes with three small side dishes, pickles, miso soup, and a tea pickles to finish. It's a delicious seafood bowl with the option to upgrade the seafood grade for an additional 200 yen, which is a good deal. Personally, I noticed that the daily special A sashimi set ordered by the customer next to me looked like a good value with its generous portion size. By the way, the daily special B set on the day of my visit was a yellowtail bowl.

This volume is quite a deal for 1080 yen. There is a seafood large serving for an additional 200 yen on top of the 880 yen regular price, with small side dishes like sarasupa and tamagoyaki. The miso soup has fish scraps and plenty of wakame seaweed. PayPay is accepted here.

From teppanyaki to seafood dishes, you can enjoy a reasonable meal at a popular izakaya in the Higashi Umeda area. I arrived 20 minutes before opening and there was already quite a line forming. Inside, there are counter seats and 3 table seats. They offer a weekday limited "wasabi pickled seafood bowl" for 880 yen, which includes 3 side dishes, pickles, and miso soup. You can upgrade the seafood bowl for an additional 200 yen and add a raw egg for 50 yen, making the total price only 1,130 yen which is very reasonable! The bowl includes squid, sweet shrimp, yellowtail, salmon, and salmon roe, with a variety of fresh seafood toppings that change daily. Each topping is fresh and delicious without any fishy smell. The side dishes are a nice addition to take a break from using chopsticks. The wasabi pickles are especially tasty. About halfway through the meal, they offer a light and easy-to-eat "dashi tea pickles" to cleanse your palate. During lunch hours, there is no shade outside so be sure to take precautions against heatstroke such as using a parasol.

About a 10-minute walk from Osaka Metro's Higashi-Umeda Station is a popular restaurant called "Osaka Public Izakaya Ito Sake and Sound Almalio." The most sought-after dish by most customers in line is the weekday-exclusive "Wasabi Pickled Seafood Bowl Set." Other options include the daily special set meals for 600 yen each. I decided to try the Wasabi Pickled Seafood Bowl, which was incredibly luxurious with a generous amount of fish toppings like thick buri, salmon, bonito, tuna, and sweet shrimp on a bed of rice. The set also came with miso soup, three side dishes, pickles, and a soup, all for 880 yen. The flavors were amazing, especially the combination of the rich sweetness of the buri and the refreshing spiciness of the wasabi. I also enjoyed the side dishes like the dashimaki tamago and the pickles. The meal ended with a hot katsuobushi broth to pour over the remaining rice, creating a delicious ochazuke. Overall, the seafood bowl was incredibly satisfying and worth the wait in line. Highly recommended for a luxurious seafood dining experience.

This time I visited "almalio Almario". During lunchtime, there is always a long line and they sell out quickly. I recommend going on a day when you have plenty of time! The weekday limited rice bowl here costs 880 yen for the regular size, with an upgrade available for an additional 200 yen. It's amazing how much seafood you get for that price. Unlike the seafood bowls you might eat at tourist spots, here you never have to worry about not getting enough rice or side dishes. The nighttime menu is also delicious, with many generously portioned dishes. Especially their takoyaki, perfected through research in the original Nishinari area, is exceptional. Every dish is a masterpiece! The gout hotpot I had last winter was also fantastic. Thank you for the great meal!

From June 7th, I will be starting a series on "One Coin Lunch and Over 1000 Yen Lunch," so until then, I will be sharing seafood dishes priced between 500 yen and under 1000 yen. Seafood Day 1: "Osaka Izakaya Dining and Drinking Spot almalio" (Osaka, Higashi Umeda) I ordered the Wasabi-marinated seafood bowl with extra rice for 880 yen, which came with three side dishes and a tea pickled rice to finish.

Located a 7-minute walk from Higashi-Umeda Station on the Osaka Metro Tanimachi Line, this seafood bowl that went viral on social media has leveled up even further! This time, I tried the wasabi-pickled seafood bowl for 880 yen. By adding 200 yen, you can upgrade the seafood to an incredible level! The amount is seriously mind-blowing! You can also get extra rice for free! This comes with three side dishes and miso soup! All of this for 1080 yen is truly out of this world... I also added a raw egg as a topping for an additional 50 yen. The bowl arrived in just a few minutes! The volume of the seafood bowl exceeded my expectations by far! What a pleasant surprise! And the taste is delicious too. This is seriously going to be a huge trend, so everyone should go check it out soon! Thank you for the meal!

This time, I ordered the Buri Shabu Shabu with clams (1 serving 2280yen~), Seasonal fish with wasabi topping (480yen), Ebi Mayo (750yen), Takoyaki with sauce (6 pieces 480yen), and topped with green onion, salt, and sesame oil (+50yen). The Buri Shabu Shabu with clams was amazing! The amount of clams was generous and the light broth was delicious. The Buri was tender and melted in the mouth, especially when eaten with condiments. The wasabi topping had plenty of fish and the spicy kick of wasabi paired perfectly. Great as a side dish with drinks. The Ebi Mayo was a new experience, with plump shrimp and crispy fried onions. It looked delicious even with rice. The recommended takoyaki was crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, a must-try! The menu had a wide variety of options including teppanyaki and seafood. Everything was delicious, and I look forward to going back for a leisurely evening of drinks! The restaurant has counter and table seating, with DJ equipment and a collection of records on display, making it a great spot for music lovers.

almalio in Umeda, Osaka, is a fantastic restaurant where you can enjoy delicious food along with music. Here are some of the dishes I tried: - Yellowtail shabu-shabu with clams - Wasabi pickles - Shrimp mayonnaise - Takoyaki with sauce - Green onion salt sesame oil The yellowtail shabu-shabu is a must-try, with prices starting at around 1980 yen for one serving, and 2280 yen for the clam version. The portions are generous, so it's recommended to share among 3 people. The broth is light and flavorful, perfect for dipping the tender yellowtail and pork slices. The wasabi pickles are a great accompaniment to drinks, packed with plenty of seafood. The shrimp mayonnaise is a unique take, with large, juicy shrimp and crispy fried onions. The takoyaki is delicious, with a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, topped with either traditional sauce or green onion salt sesame oil. I also tried the tea served as part of a charity initiative, a mix of Eastern Beauty tea and Pu'er tea, with a taste similar to black tea. It's said to promote metabolism and detoxification. The friendly and welcoming master of the restaurant makes it a great place for first-time visitors to enjoy a wide range of menu options, including dishes from Nishinari. Just a short walk from Umeda, it's amazing to discover such a delicious restaurant. I definitely want to go back again! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I visited this restaurant with an introduction and the owner has a flashy appearance but is very kind, so it was a different world from my usual environment. The dishes I tried were takoyaki, oyster white stew, cream risotto, amberjack shabu-shabu, Thai-style simmered dish, and umaki. All the dishes were delicious, especially the takoyaki which is said to be the owner's specialty from his training in Osaka. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is cozy with a few counter seats and two tables, creating a lively and friendly environment for conversations with the owner and other customers. The owner was surprisingly kind and quick to respond to requests like more sauce or additional drinks, showing great hospitality.

Hello (￣Д￣)ﾉ It's cold, isn't it? Today, I'm in Osaka!! I wanted to eat oyster and shirako hot pot, so I visited the #Osaka izakaya called Ii to Sake to Oto almalio (2-7 Usaginocho, Kita-ku, Osaka City, 1F 2) around 6 pm. When I entered, I immediately fell in love with the oyster and shirako hot pot that I saw on Instagram! The restaurant has about 4-5 counter seats and can accommodate around 6 people at the table seats. I chose to sit at the counter. I checked the menu ( ᯣωᯣ ) and couldn't find the oyster and shirako hot pot (sweat)( ꒪Д꒪)ｱｧ··· When I asked the staff, they said it's not on the menu but they have it! So, I ordered the oyster and shirako hot pot and a draft beer. While waiting for the hot pot, I also ordered potato salad and kimchi yukhoe. The draft beer arrived quickly, followed by the potato salad and kimchi yukhoe. The spicy potato salad paired well with the beer. The kimchi yukhoe was more like minced meat than yukhoe! It had raw egg with green onions, giving it a sweet and spicy flavor. The draft beer quickly ran out, so I ordered another one. During a bathroom break, I saw a nostalgic poster of Kumiko Takeda in a seashell bikini (๑♡ᴗ♡๑) When I returned, the hot pot was ready! I had potato salad, kimchi yukhoe, oyster and shirako hot pot (with rice), 2 draft beers, and a lemon sour, totaling 4100 yen. Just as I saw on Instagram, the hot pot was filled with plenty of oysters and shirako. The fish was also delicious! The oysters had a flavorful taste after being cooked, and the shirako melted in the mouth with rich umami. The miso soup with soaked vegetables (Chinese cabbage, daikon) and tofu was also outstanding. I called the waitress to order the finishing dish, and I chose udon to go with the miso soup. The frozen udon arrived, and after cooking it in the hot pot, I added green onions and slurped up the seafood and miso-flavored udon. I was completely satisfied and full. If you love oysters and shirako, I highly recommend this hot pot. It's perfect for such cold weather! PS For those who are interested in trying this, it's recommended to make a reservation or call ahead to confirm the availability of the oyster and shirako hot pot. I was lucky to get it as a walk-in. The hot pot with plenty of oysters and shirako is delicious! Kumiko Takeda in a seashell bikini is also waiting for you ♡ Oh, Mamichi-san was also there (๑╹ω╹๑ )
