Hello everyone. I recently found out that there is a food hall in Umeda EST, and I am Arima. This is a trendy food hall where you can find first-time stores in the country and popular stores lined up, and it is quite crowded with young people who can enjoy bar hopping in the cool indoor space. This time, I visited "Oden x Stand Santoku Rokumi EST Food Hall," which has an impressive noren with menus drawn on it. The main counter is a casual space, and when you hear about an oden shop, you might imagine a retro feel, but this stylish space seems suitable for girls' get-togethers or dates. I was guided to the counter and immediately ordered the menu that caught my eye. When you come here, start with a variety of fruit sours for a toast. I chose "Frozen Mango" and "Kiwi Sour," which are full of fruit and incredibly delicious. The appearance is also stylish and fantastic. - Bonito Tataki: Recommended by the staff, it was a chewy and delicious dish. - Amakusa Daioh Muneniku Tataki: The fragrant and pleasant elasticity is irresistible. It was honestly incredibly delicious. - Rock Oyster: It was deliciously plump and slippery. - Fig Tempura: A hot item to be careful not to burn yourself. Oh, it melted. - Mentaiko Isobeage: This is a must-order item. It was a crispy and fluffy delicious dish. - Shrimp Mayo Broccoli: The generous amount of broccoli is a delightful point. Among the dishes I tried, my personal recommendation is Daikon Oden. It is a representative dish of oden. It is a knockout with the umami of the hot broth that comes when you bite into it. Nyampen: You will be healed by the cuteness of its appearance. The texture is fluffy and soft. The broth soaks in, and it melts gently. Lettuce: The crunchy texture is addictive and delicious. It is a must-eat oden menu item. - Oden: Thick-baked egg in broth. It was a hot and bouncy dish, but what arrived was a cool egg. It was a perfect dish for this season. - Grilled Rice Ball with Seaweed: A fluffy and fragrant grilled rice ball with seaweed as a nice accent. Oh, isn't oden the best thing to eat in the summer? The deliciousness of the carefully selected chicken white soup stock, which makes you want to drink it all up, made me eat too much unintentionally. Each menu item was delicious, and I was very satisfied. It's also a happy point that they are open throughout the day. Please give it a try. Thank you for the meal.

A casual restaurant with a variety of dishes like simmered oden and other side dishes on the menu! Located in the back of Umeda EST, inside the food hall. Just a 5-minute walk from Osaka/Umeda Station. "Oden Stand Santokuroku EST Food Hall" offers: Fruit Sour - Pineapple 680 yen, Kiwi Sour 780 yen, Fig Cheese 480 yen, Salmon Sashimi 780 yen, Shrimp Mayo 780 yen, Mentaiko Deep-fried 680 yen, Oden starting from 250 yen. The Fruit Sour was delicious with plenty of fruit. The oden looked dynamic even from the counter seats and was very tasty. The cute cat-shaped hanpen "nyanpen" is a must-try! They are open all day, making it easy to visit. Definitely check it out! Enjoyed the meal!

I was looking for a quick lunch option and decided to check out this place that I had been curious about in the food court. It was a Sunday and there were a few people having lunch drinks, making it a comfortable atmosphere for dining alone. The staff seemed a bit short-handed, but the lady in charge was working efficiently and made me want to support them. Before long, my "Toumeshi set meal" arrived. It was just the right amount for me as a set meal. The flavor was great, probably because it was simmered for 36 hours as mentioned. I was pleased to see oden served as a side dish, and everything tasted delicious. The drink menu for alcohol also looked good, so I would like to try it for dinner next time. Thank you for the meal!

I stopped by a casual stand-up bar called "Oden x Stand Santoku Rokumi" in Osaka, which was near Umeda Station. The shop is located in a dining area called ESTFOODHAL, and it has a striking noren curtain with oden ingredients drawn on it. The counter-style setup is perfect for solo customers or casual drinks. They are open all day, which is a nice touch. The menu ranges from appetizers to oden dishes. I started with a highball for a toast. The complimentary dish was carpaccio with plenty of sesame seeds. I also tried the konjac with a miso vinegar sauce, which had a nice chewy texture. The oden is made with a chicken white broth, which is a unique style. The fluffy thick tofu and Osaka-style takoyaki oden were delicious. Lastly, I had the rolled cabbage, which was flavorful and juicy. This place is great for a quick drink or to enjoy a full meal. It's convenient to have such a place nearby. Thank you for the delicious meal!

It's a cute and cozy shop! Cat lovers will be delighted by its charm! My friend and I visited, and they kindly served the oden already cut into pieces for us. The broth was a bit on the richer side rather than light. The portion size was a bit small for the price, so the cost performance is average to slightly high. I'd like to visit again for a quick drink! Thank you for the meal! ♡

I didn't know there was a place in EST where you could drink Japanese sake. Due to its location, there were a lot of young people. It's quite a lively place, so it might not be suitable for those looking for a quiet drink alone. The oden was delicious, served hot from a large pot. As a cat lover, I really wanted to try the cat-shaped hanpen (nyanpen), so I was happy to be able to eat it this time! There is a wide variety of sake to choose from, making it difficult to decide. Oden and sake really go well together!

I visited Stand Santoku Rokumi near EST. It was still cold, and the food quickly cooled down due to the wind coming in from the automatic door opening multiple times. The broth of the oden was delicious in a normal way!

Visited Oden x Stand Santoku Rokumi around 2 pm. Even after we arrived, customers kept coming in one after another. We ordered daikon x 2, egg x 2, fish cake x 2, cabbage roll, and octopus with green onion for oden. For drinks, we had draft beer and Sairai (sake). We also ordered beef tendon tofu, the oden shop's dashimaki, and oden shop zosui as side dishes. The total came to about ¥6,000. It's a beautiful restaurant and everything was delicious. I would love to visit again.

【Santokurokumi】A casual oden stand with a delicious beef tendon and tofu bowl set and a special oden rice bowl set! They offer a variety of oden-based dishes, perfect for a daytime drink. I visited for the first time before 1 pm on a weekday, located inside the Est Food Hall. The place was filled with people having lunch or enjoying a daytime drink. I ordered the Santokurokumi oden rice bowl set (with oden, miso soup, and a side dish) for ¥990. The bowl was topped with tender beef tendon and flavorful tofu, both simmered to perfection! The oden itself was also rich in flavor, with a gentle taste. They use chicken broth for the soup base. It was a wonderful discovery of a new restaurant!✨ --- Located a 3-minute walk from Hankyu Osaka Umeda Station 3-25 Tsunoda-cho, Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka EST FOODHALL Opening hours: 11:00-23:00 Closed irregularly ▶️This account mainly posts about gourmet food in Osaka Kita.

I thought it was only Japanese food, but they also had mixed fry and hamburger. When they mentioned it was limited for lunch and winter, I had to try the seafood trio of shrimp fry, oyster fry, and crab cream croquette. It was 990 yen for the set meal with a side dish and miso soup. The simmered burdock root side dish was moist and flavorful, perfect as a side dish. The fries came with plenty of tartar sauce. The three oyster fries were surprising when I bit into them and the filling popped out... proof that they were hot. The crab cream croquette had a thin crust and was packed with filling. I wanted another one for sure. It looks like the shrimp fry is underneath it... Oden x Stand Santoku Rokumi EST Food Hall.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that this place is a gathering spot for young people, so there are no shops for older individuals. The customer service, atmosphere, and flavors are all geared towards the younger crowd. Minors can also eat and drink here without worrying about adult supervision. It's a place where you can have a great time. Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the oden shop I wanted to try and had to move on.

I visited during lunchtime the other day. The oden was delicious, and the drinks were cheap during happy hour, so I was very satisfied. The price of oden is high, so I felt it might be quite expensive if I drink at night. It was a great deal and delicious for lunch. Thank you for the meal.

A casual izakaya in a food hall where you can relax and enjoy oden dishes. They also have a great selection of sake. The oden broth is milky but light and easy to drink. I had a Tris Highball, lettuce, daikon, chicken tsukune, ginger tempura, octopus sashimi, Amakusa Daio tataki, and fig cheese.

I felt like eating oden and randomly walked into this place! The oden with spicy miso broth was a perfect match with alcohol! Despite being crowded, the speed of food service was fast and I was very satisfied! They serve alcohol even during the day, making it perfect for drinkers. The izakaya menu is extensive and of high quality, you can't go wrong with anything you order! I was very satisfied with the careful cooking and service! The drink menu is also extensive, especially the sake selection is top-notch! They provide brief and easy-to-understand descriptions of each sake, making it easy to order. Random daytime drinking is the best.

When you visit Osaka, you must try the delicious oden at Umeda Est, a favorite oden stand. The oden, cooked in a chicken broth, is light and tasty, perfect for enjoying bite after bite. Every ingredient is delicious, but the must-try is the "nyanpen" (cat-shaped fish cake) - fluffy, soft, and soaked in flavorful broth. The fruit sours are also a treat, with chunks of fruit adding a nice touch, but be careful as the alcohol content is strong. Sitting at the counter, you can watch the oden simmering in front of you, making the experience even more enjoyable. The stylish atmosphere makes it welcoming for everyone, especially women. Check it out for a casual drink and meal!

One of the restaurants in Umeda Est's food hall. You can sit at the counter in a horseshoe shape and enjoy oden and sake. It seems to be popular as the counter quickly fills up. It's an oden shop, but it's also a good place for couples to go on a date. You can also try a unique drink called Fukuoka's Blackjack.

A casual and convenient restaurant that is also popular in EST! #MustTryMenu ★ Nyampen (oden) is super cute ❤️ You have to try it! Another delicious dish was the spring chrysanthemum! It has a nice aroma, so give it a try. Also, the #KinKantamataMama Sour drink I had was really delicious. Be sure to check it out! ★★★ My main platform is Instagram, so I would be happy if you could follow me @iwamiii183! Search for me there!

I visited this place in the main area of EST Food Hall that caught my attention yesterday! It is located about a 5-minute walk from Osaka Station, Midosuji Exit [JR], and about a 3-minute walk from Osaka Umeda Station, 3rd floor South Ticket Gate [Hankyu Railway]. I decided to try their lunch set meal, which is only available during lunchtime. It's not a food court, but a sit-down dining system. There is a counter in the middle and table seating facing each other on the sides. I had the "Santoku Rokumi no Tofu Rice Set Meal"! After ordering, it arrived in about 5-6 minutes. The side dishes included snap pea sesame salad, a unique dish, miso soup, oden (fishcakes, daikon radish, thick fried tofu), and a generous portion of tofu rice bowl. The tofu in the menu photo looked small, so it was a bit underwhelming visually, but the volume of the Wagyu tendon meat has increased. First, the hot miso soup is delightful! The simplicity and perfect saltiness of the fried tofu, seaweed, and ingredients are just right. The tofu rice bowl, with Wagyu tendon meat simmered for 36 hours in their proud chicken bone broth, is incredibly delicious. The tender texture of the Wagyu tendon meat, the sweetness of the fatty part, and the richness of the simmered sauce blend together beautifully, making it extremely tasty. The oden, cooked in a broth made from chicken bones and ingredients, is all exquisite! The side dishes are also delicious, bringing a sense of satisfaction and a smile to your face. The staff's service is excellent, and I will definitely be coming back here!

I visited the new West Food Hall and enjoyed some oden. The beer was good and the appetizer was delicious. The sashimi had a tasty sesame and garlic oil on top. I especially liked the daikon radish, lettuce, and beef tendon tofu in the oden. It's a place where women can feel comfortable dining.

Today's lunch was at "Oden x Stand Mitsuroku EST Food Hall" in Osaka Umeda's EST. Located in the Hankyu Kingdom in Umeda, Osaka, this commercial facility by JR West Japan underwent a renewal about two years ago, resulting in the creation of a food court. This particular restaurant is not in the food court area, but rather inside the establishment. The main focus is on oden. It's quite surprising to find oden in this youth-oriented EST. I tried the Mitsuroku's six-flavor Tofu Rice Set (990 yen). Last week, I saw it and was intrigued. At first, I was like, "What is 'Tofu Rice'?" It's actually a bowl with "slow-cooked Wagyu beef tendon stewed in chicken broth served on tofu." The interior of the restaurant mainly consists of open counter seats, with a large oden pot in front of the counter. After a short wait, it arrived. The overall view was slightly different from the menu photo. The tofu was smaller, and there was quite a lot of beef tendon meat. The taste was delicious, with a Japanese flavor profile. The tofu had a rich broth, and the flavorful beef tendon was very tasty. It reminded me of a Japanese-style risotto. The side dishes of simmered hijiki and three types of oden were also delicious. I noticed many girls eating oden in the restaurant. I also discovered that adding the spicy mustard to the beef tendon made it even tastier. The miso soup was standard but had a pleasant surprise of a small clam at the bottom. Overall, I was very satisfied with the meal. Lunch options are limited to two, but I wish there were more choices available. You can also enjoy oden as a single item for a daytime drink. The restaurant has a great atmosphere both inside and outside.
