The portions are large, so please be careful when ordering! If you can't finish it, you can take the leftovers home. It was delicious.

I visited the restaurant for the first time after being introduced by a friend, and the chijimi was truly more delicious than any other place!

Deep in the city, deep in the flavors. Without a doubt, the taste is authentic Korean, not adjusted to be easier for Japanese palates. If something not on the menu is available, the owner will gladly recommend it, like the steamed chicken which is truly amazing. It's cheap and delicious. If you want to experience a deep atmosphere, this is the only place to go.

Delicious~

The chijimi here is seriously delicious! Chijimi is a must try!! The salad with raw fish, like an ikura, is also delicious.

We visited this restaurant with our clients in November 2014. Our first impression was that it seemed quite deep, but the food was delicious. We arrived around 7 pm and there were no other customers at that time, but we were told that it gets crowded later in the evening, attracting the night butterflies of the town. We started with a toast with draft beer. We ordered raw tripe, pork belly, japchae, kimchi pancake, seafood pancake, and abalone porridge. The kimchi here was exceptionally tasty. The raw tripe had a great texture, best enjoyed with salt and sesame oil. The pork belly was thick and cooked with garlic, creating a mouth-watering aroma. It was delicious when wrapped in lettuce with garlic, ssamjang, and green onions. The seafood pancake was crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, very tasty. Japchae had a sweet aroma like sukiyaki, and the abalone porridge was a perfect way to finish the meal, especially when eaten with Korean seaweed. The majority of customers were Korean, and the prices were reasonable. The owner managed the restaurant alone, and the service was great. Overall, we had a delightful and enjoyable dining experience. Thank you for the meal!

Actually, I have been going to this place once a month for the past 3 years, but someone already wrote a review before me. (^O^)／ My favorite dish is the Samgyeopsal. It costs 1800 yen per serving. Pork belly is stir-fried on a hot plate, seasoned with sesame oil and salt, and then wrapped in Korean miso called Samjang, garlic, sesame leaves, and other ingredients. It goes really well with white rice. It's very healthy and gives you a lot of stamina! Since I drove here, I'm sticking to non-alcoholic drinks like oolong tea. The total cost for one person was around 2600 yen. This is my favorite spot! Enjoy the authentic taste that even Koreans come here for.

<Third Visit> I visited the Mugi restaurant in Imazato once again to enjoy the authentic Tetchan hot pot. It truly showcases the essence of Korea in Osaka's Little Korea, Ikuno Ward. First things first, beer! When you place your order, a variety of small dishes are provided in abundance, a unique service characteristic of the authentic experience. The Korean hospitality is evident in the overflowing service spirit. I enjoyed dishes like raw liver, raw tripe, chijimi, and squid pancake with beer and shochu. The squid pancake is a dish where spicy raw squid is mixed with vegetables, providing a nutritious and delicious option. The staff at the restaurant prepares and brings the Tetchan hot pot to your table, which includes not only hormone but also lungs (Fuwa). You can even see the bronchi in the lungs! After devouring everything, they make porridge for you. The waitress noticed me taking photos and encouraged me to promote the restaurant on the internet. It seems that the number of customers has been decreasing lately. As for how to use the restaurant, it's recommended to drink until closing time in Minami and then invite friends for delicious Korean cuisine afterward. With business hours from 6 pm to 6 am the next day, you don't have to worry about staying late. Although each dish is a bit pricey, sharing with about four people makes it very affordable. On the contrary, it can be challenging for two people. Ordering too much leads to leftovers, but ordering conservatively means missing out on the variety. Restaurants with cheaper dishes tend to serve smaller portions, and even basic items like kimchi and namul are charged, making the total cost higher. The hot pot at this restaurant is served in individual portions. It would be reckless to challenge it alone. It's rare for me to write about a restaurant three times in a year. I tend to not visit the same place too often. (Unless I have discount coupons...) However, I find myself returning to this restaurant repeatedly. The staff may speak in a way that sounds like Korean, but they are very kind in providing menu advice in Japanese. They even go as far as giving advice to avoid leaving food, which could lead to losses for the restaurant. The waitress was very conscientious and kind. After eating and drinking to our heart's content, we asked for the bill, and she said, "It's around 12,000 yen." What do you mean by "around"? Did she round down the amount? <Second Visit> I ended up going to Mugi once again. It's hard to find a tripe hot pot that can match the one here. First things first, beer! In proper Korean restaurants, you get a large serving of kimchi and namul as a service. This service is very much appreciated. This time, I ordered the tripe hot pot and the three-layer pork. Who here has seen their own stomach? The three-layer pork dish is well thought out. Since we ordered a hot pot, they bring the three-layer pork after grilling it. Sliced pork belly is grilled, placed on lettuce leaves, topped with shiso leaves, miso, scallions, and kimchi-like negi, and then rolled up. It allows you to enjoy a well-balanced and delicious combination of meat and vegetables. The round slices of shishito peppers turned out to be surprisingly spicy chili peppers. The tripe hot pot is then served. It contains plenty of ingredients like tripe, honeycomb tripe, omasum, and heart. You can even see the coronary artery in the heart. It's not too spicy, with a hint of sweetness, making it very flavorful. The balance is just right without needing to add more spice. Finally, let's add some rice. After adding rice and letting it simmer, I thought it was done, but they added sauce, sprinkled seaweed, and it was ready. It's quite a process. Wow, I'm so full. But I ate and ate until the end! <First Visit> I was amazed to discover such a place.

Here is a new place! There are various languages such as Japanese, Korean, and English. I haven't heard of Swahili, but... Hello! It's okay to use Kansai dialect! The lady who seems to be the owner greets me with a "Long time no see!" and we start with a toast with beer. As usual, various Korean appetizers are served on small plates on the table. While enjoying those, we wait for dishes like Samgyeopsal and Seafood Pajeon. We drink while scooping up Makgeolli with a ladle. Then, the lady recommends a casual drinking spot around here for tonight. After finishing our drinks, we may stop by a bar on our way home for Naengmyeon or Soju. Personally, I love Samgyetang! Last year, when I visited Korea (Busan), I went to a Samgyetang specialty restaurant to eat it. When the staff brought the dish to me, I said "Thank you" in Japanese, and they replied with "You're welcome." That's a side note. Putting aside the complicated issues between Japan and Korea for now! When I can't eat anymore, when I can't drink anymore, I leave. That's the pattern.
