A chain of restaurants affiliated with Romantei, which offers a variety of meat dishes. The menu includes dishes using Satsuma Kyokutei Daimaou chicken, such as chicken rice bowls and minced chicken rice bowls, as well as rolled omelettes and fried chicken. While waiting for the food, you can enjoy Satsuma Chiran tea. On this day, I had the rolled omelette and fried chicken set meal. It comes with rice, miso soup, pickles, and grated radish, allowing you to compare and enjoy both thigh meat and breast meat fried chicken, along with the rolled omelette. The juicy thigh meat fried chicken and refreshing breast meat fried chicken are complemented by the flavorful rolled omelette with grated radish. This restaurant offers healthy chicken dishes prepared in various ways, and my impression is that it is frequented by many female customers.

First, let's talk about the dedication to this tea! I had never heard of Satsuma Chiran tea before! And the target dish, Osaka Chicken Grilled Rice Bowl (single item) for 1480 yen! Besides the grilled chicken, the bowl was packed with rice, minced meat, and various toppings! It was impressive!! Maybe because the expectations were set so high at the beginning, but the grilled chicken itself was like, hmm... sliced too thin? I'm not sure what it was, but it left me feeling a bit underwhelmed... Gochi.

This is a new restaurant that opened in July 2022 at Ekimaru Osaka, directly connected to JR Osaka Station. I visited for a solo lunch on a weekday afternoon. I was seated at the counter by the staff and ordered the Osaka Chicken Grilled Rice Bowl: 1,780 yen (tax included). It arrived in about 7 minutes. Although it is priced on the higher side for lunch, it includes items like rolled omelette and side dishes, and the portion size is satisfying. I think it's a recommended meal set. It was delicious. I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

On July 14th, I tried the specialty dish "Osaka Chicken Mabushi Set" for ¥1,580 at the #Osaka Kashiwameshi Roman Tei in Ekimarche Osaka. It is made with 'Satsuma Kyokuchiken Daimaou' raised with love on a farm in Kagoshima, grilled with a sweet and savory special sauce, and served on a bed of chicken-flavored vegetables, homemade chicken soboro, and freshly cooked rice. You can enjoy the flavor of the grilled chicken first, then pour the special broth and condiments over it for a Hittsumabushi experience. I also ordered the "Karaage Assorted Set" for ¥1,280, which brings out the deliciousness of Sakurajima chicken to the fullest, with crispy and juicy karaage pieces. You can compare the breast and thigh meat flavors. The thigh meat was incredibly juicy and tender. The karaage pieces are large, but the staff can cut them into bite-sized pieces for you. Both sets come with a choice of a regular set or a set meal. The regular set includes cabbage, rice, miso soup, and pickles, while the set meal also includes dashimaki, a small side dish, and sweet potato. I highly recommend the "Dashimaki" made with 'Satsuma Akadama' eggs from a contracted farm with plenty of dashi added. They also offer a dashimaki set meal. Make sure to visit and try it out!

Today, I had lunch at Ekimarche in Osaka Station, right at noon. I passed by "Osaka Kashiwa-meshi Romantei" and was drawn in, so I decided to eat there. I ordered the chicken soboro set meal, which you can choose from small, regular, or large rice portions. I chose the small portion, but when it arrived, it was quite generous for a small size. It seemed like a satisfying amount for older people or women like me. Young men can opt for a regular or large portion, and even a larger portion of meat. Now, onto the food. It is recommended to mix the egg and place it on the rice, but I decided to eat it as is, breaking it apart as I ate. The chicken soboro set meal had a subtle, slightly sweet flavor, which can be enhanced by condiments like wasabi or shichimi. The rolled omelette was also quite delicious. It didn't overpower the main dish but complemented it nicely. I might try the fried chicken set meal next time.

We were waiting in line, but they took our order while we were waiting, so we were seated relatively quickly and our food came out soon after. The thinly sliced chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was just the right amount of sweetness. It's not a very calm atmosphere because it's in a shopping mall, but I was satisfied with the attentive service and delicious food! I would like to go again.

Located in Ekimaru at Osaka Station, this restaurant has a rating of 3.32 on Tabelog and is known for its beef tongue dish, Romantei's chicken shop. With last order at 10 PM, it's a great option for those who don't want alcohol for dinner. I had the "Akayaki Chicken Bowl" for 1,280 yen this time, and the rice portion can be upsized for free. They use a special breed of chicken called "Oomazakura" raised in Kagoshima. They also serve a unique tea made with matcha grown using the chicken manure. The service is a step above your average diner. The taste of the Akayaki chicken was decent, but the seasoning felt a bit lacking. The dish also includes minced chicken and kinpira burdock, making the rice quite enjoyable. I had the minced chicken bowl with side dishes for the same price last time, which might be a better value. One downside is that while the staff is not scarce, the service could be a bit quicker for those who want to leave sooner. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

The meat was tender and delicious! It went well with the broth and condiments. I added the dashimaki tamago and small side dishes for an extra 2,300 yen because I wanted to try the dashimaki tamago, but it was just average. It didn't have much of a dashi flavor, so maybe it would have been better without it. The hitsumabushi was very delicious!

Osaka Kashiwameshi Roman Tei is a restaurant located in Umeda where you can enjoy their specialty kashiwameshi made with original chicken "Omasakura" raised in their own farm. You can also try it as hitsumabushi by pouring dashi over it, which is delicious. It is conveniently located just a 1-minute walk from JR Osaka Station, with outlets and USB ports available. I visited on a Sunday just before 1 pm. There were 4 groups waiting in front of me, and I was seated at the counter after a 20-minute wait. I ordered the Osaka Chicken Mabushi set (soup, pickles, ochazuke set, rolled omelette, 2 small side dishes) for ¥1680. The glossy shine of the sauce looked beautiful - it made the dish appetizing. I took a bite as is first. The Omasakura chicken had a good balance of elasticity and umami flavor. With nori and rice crackers, and finally pouring the dashi over it, it becomes chicken mabushi. There were various condiments to change the flavor, but I couldn't fully enjoy it as my lunch break was approaching. The rolled omelette had a fluffy texture and a gentle taste, which was nice. Address: 3-1-1 Umeda, Kita-ku, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture Opening hours: 11:00-23:00 Closed on days when Ekimaru Osaka is closed Follow @lunchgourmet_osaka for more gourmet posts in Osaka Kit area. #KashiwameshiRomanTei #Kashiwameshi #UmedaLunch #UmedaGourmet #OsakaLunch #OsakaGourmet #OsakaStationLunch #EkimaruOsaka #OsakaKashiwameshiRomanTei #OsakaStationGourmet #OsakaSightseeing #OsakaTravel

I had an early lunch and decided to quickly stop by. I sat at the counter and ordered the lunch set with fried chicken and rolled omelette. It seemed like a popular lunch option as the place quickly filled up. The lunch set arrived promptly, which was much appreciated during a busy day. Rolled omelette for lunch somehow feels a bit stylish, don't you think?

Lunch at Osaka Station Ekimarche. There are two Romantei stores in Ekimarche, and I visited the beefsteak-heavy store last time, so today I went to this store, which specializes in chicken rice. I ordered the Osaka chicken grilled rice. They use a type of chicken called "Satsuma Kyokutei Omasakura," which I had never heard of before. The arrived meal was a bowl of rice cooked in chicken broth topped with minced chicken and grilled chicken. The chicken was a bit dry and lacked juiciness, although it might be typical for chicken rice. Adding a raw egg yolk helped a bit. Personally, if you're at Romantei, I recommend the beefsteak-heavy brand over this one. Thank you for the meal.

Located in the newly renovated Ekimarche inside Osaka Station. Foodlog rating of 3.15. This restaurant specializes in chicken dishes, particularly known for their beefsteak rice bowl. The interior of the restaurant is clean and they have implemented thorough COVID-19 measures. They cater to tourists but also have a last order at 10 pm and close at 11 pm, which is convenient for solo salarymen. They use a local chicken called "Omasakura" that they raise in Kagoshima for their rice bowl dishes. I ordered the "Kashiwa Soboro Rice Set" for 1,250 yen, and they offer free extra rice. They serve a special green tea made from tea leaves grown using chicken manure, which is a unique touch. The rice set includes two types of soboro, rolled omelette, simmered dish, sweet potato, egg yolk, and soup, providing a well-balanced and satisfying meal. The soboro has a light color but is flavorful, especially when paired with a hint of yuzu pepper. The only downside was that the side dish was a bit dry, possibly due to being pre-prepared and stored in the fridge. Overall, for a solo meal without alcohol, the price is reasonable, and the restaurant's late opening hours make it a convenient choice. I would definitely consider revisiting this place.

There is a shop in Ekimarche in Umeda. When I arrived at the shop at 11:30, it was full and I had to wait for 25 minutes. I ordered the Osaka chicken yakitori set for 1280 yen (tax included). The chicken meat was very tender and delicious. Under the chicken meat, there was stir-fried burdock and carrot with a sweet and savory flavor. The seasoning of the minced meat rice was light, and it harmonized well with the chicken meat. It also came with a raw egg yolk, pickles, and seaweed soup. There were various condiments available, so it was nice to be able to change the flavor. I was full and satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

This is a shop in the station market inside Osaka Station. The matcha comes in a pot and the service is good. I ordered the Chicken Kabayaki Set for 1580 yen. It is a dish of grilled chicken on rice, meant to be eaten like hitsumabushi with tea poured over it at the end. The seasoning is Kansai-style, with plenty of toppings like seaweed and sesame seeds. It was delicious, but there are many other tasty options in Osaka...

I had dinner at "Osaka Kashiwa Meshi Romantei" in Ekimarche Osaka. This restaurant specializes in chicken dishes and offers a new specialty dish called "Osaka Kashiwa Meshi" that combines the food culture of Osaka and Kagoshima. They serve their original brand chicken, "Satsuma Kyokuchin Oomazakura," which is raised for over 120 days, about three times longer than regular chickens, resulting in a tender and flavorful meat. The interior of the restaurant has a calming Japanese atmosphere with warm wooden tones. I had the Karaage Assorted Set Meal (1280 yen), which consisted of crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside karaage, allowing you to enjoy the difference between the thigh and breast meat. The fluffy and soft dashimaki made with carefully selected eggs and plenty of dashi was also delicious. They served me Know Tea, which was a nice touch. I would like to try the Osaka Kashiwa Meshi on my next visit.

Hello there. It's been a while since I visited the station market. I came here for this. Here's the menu. The tea is luxurious. I decided to have hitsumabushi. I really like the sprinkled tea leaves. The tea leaves are grown by covering the tea plants with a cover for over 20 days before picking the new buds, steaming them, and drying them without rolling, removing the stems and veins. Tea leaves grown in a covered garden that blocks sunlight, called "oishitaen," contain a lot of umami component called "theanine." A side dish. Even dessert. A clear soup. It has a strong flavor. The dashimaki tamago is delicious! There's minced meat at the bottom. First, I tried it as it is. It's soft and fluffy. I tried it with some seasoning. It became a delicious rice soup. It was quite a filling meal even though I ordered a small portion of rice! Thank you for the meal. Well then.

Osaka Chicken Rice Bowl Set (Ozen) 1450 yen (tax included) Rice, Large Portion [Recommended] A la carte is 1150 yen (tax included) Rice quantity is free to increase or decrease Meat is extra charge There is a spacious place to put backpacks, making it easy to fit. Each seat has accessible outlets and USB ports, which I thought was nice. The drink service offered their own tea instead of water, which I found unusual. It was like tea-flavored water. The food arrived in about 7 minutes. The chicken mince on top of the rice had a strong flavor and was delicious. The chicken meat was well-seasoned with a sweet and savory sauce that paired well with the rice. I also noticed a slight charcoal smell. The shishito pepper on top of the meat was a bit bitter but tasty. Adding the egg yolk made it even more delicious with its rich flavor. Trying it with shichimi spice made it spicy and delicious. The pickled radish had a yuzu flavor and was delicious. The rolled omelette had a dashi flavor and the egg was slightly less flavorful, like a light egg roll. The spinach side dish was fresh. The miso soup was simply delicious. The sweet potato was a subtly sweet version. Personally, I didn't like the texture of the sweet potato. I chose the set meal to try the rolled omelette, but even with the a la carte option, you get the egg yolk, pickles, and miso soup, so I thought this was better. In conclusion, the egg, chicken meat, and rice were delicious. It's a good choice when you want to eat meat and rice.

JR Osaka Station's station building commercial facility "Ekimarche Osaka" has opened a renewed second phase with the theme of "delicious commuting" on 7/14! A total of 13 new stores have been added, including one first store in Kansai, three new business formats, and three first stores in the station building. I visited one of the new businesses, a new business format from the Roman Tei group. This store uses "Satsuma Kyokuto Chicken Oomazakura" raised with care on their own farm in Minamikyushu City, Kagoshima Prefecture, to offer Osaka Kashiwa Meshi, fried chicken, and dashimaki with plenty of broth. Order: Osaka Chicken Mabushi (single item) (1280 yen) Thickly sliced Oomazakura chicken on top of rice, simple and flavorful mabushi chicken. Enjoy the texture and marbling of the chicken. Sprinkle with tea furikake, chopped nori, and arare for flavor variation. Finish with a light and refreshing dashi chazuke. The generous service of matcha-infused Chiran tea is also a nice touch.

Romantei, known for their popular beefsteak, now offers a new version with chicken at the recently opened Umeda Station Marche. I ordered the following: - Osaka Chicken Mazesoba Set ¥1,580 Osaka Chicken Mazesoba can be enjoyed in three ways: 1) served in a bowl as is, 2) with condiments like furikake, chopped seaweed, and rice crackers added, or 3) as ochazuke. I personally found it most delicious as ochazuke. The set includes soup, pickles, and ochazuke with dashimaki tamago, a side dish, and sweet potatoes. - Osaka Chicken Yakitori Set ¥1,150 Osaka Chicken Yakitori is served with an egg on top. Mixing the egg with the chicken is also delicious. I ordered this as a standalone dish. Ekimarche Osaka is located right by the Sakurabashi exit of JR Osaka Station, offering free space, restrooms, and a smoking room available from 6:30 AM to 11:00 PM. It's a convenient option for those looking to dine before catching their last train.
