I visited this restaurant thinking it would be suitable for a company drinking party with colleagues. The atmosphere was very calm and gave off a high-end impression. They offer all-you-can-drink plans, which is perfect for a drinking party. The interior is completely private rooms, making it hard to hear the voices from neighboring tables. It was so fun that you could hear explosive laughter. The food was delicious, especially the chicken nanban recommended by the staff. It had a unique and tasty flavor! This was the reason why I decided to use this restaurant for our drinking party. They also offer a tasting of three types of sake, making it a great place to just go for drinks. The staff's service was not too pushy and very friendly. It's sure to become a hidden gem in Chayamachi.

I was looking for a private room restaurant and came across Manaya. The cozy private room atmosphere was perfect for catching up with friends. We ordered a course menu and the timing of the dishes coming out was great. We ended up drinking too much with the all-you-can-drink option.

Upscale private room izakaya. The clean rooms and calm hospitality were just right, and the food was delicious. I went for a girls' night out. However, it seemed to be fully booked that day, so the drinks took a while to be served despite being free-flowing. The course dishes came out at a good pace, and each one was satisfying. I think it's perfect for a date. You can enjoy a wonderful time without being bothered by the voices of the neighboring tables.

As a date spot, I think it's quiet and very nice. However, I personally felt that the taste and portion of the food did not quite match the price. The staff's service was very good. But, the orders took a long time to arrive... Even though it wasn't busy, I had to wait 15 minutes for my first drink. Overall, it's a great place for a date, so I would like to go again next time!!

Kichiri is like a separate residence that Kichiri is running. It's slightly higher in price range than the real Kichiri and targets a more sophisticated clientele. More fish than meat. All rooms are private. The interior is very elaborate and calming. Shoes are taken off at the entrance. Sashimi, grilled edamame, fried smelt, open-grilled chicken, etc. Everything is deliciously made. Furthermore, there are rice dishes like salmon roe bowl that are also satisfying. Despite being a chain restaurant, it was better than expected. And above all, it's right near the station. Just a short walk from Hankyu Umeda Chayamachi exit.

Visit date and time: November 23, 2022, 7:00 PM Headed to "Private Room Japanese Style Seating Manaya Umeda Chayamachi," an establishment located in a particularly youthful area in Umeda. We were invited to celebrate a joyous occasion related to work. We ordered the "Fried Tatsuta-age and Kamameshi Rice with Hakata Jidori Chicken Course." In addition, we also ordered grilled chicken skin skewers, tsukune (chicken meatballs), horse sashimi, celebratory sweets, and drinks. --- ◆ Food/Taste: 3.1 The contents of the "Fried Tatsuta-age and Kamameshi Rice with Hakata Jidori Chicken Course" are as follows (excerpt from Tabelog): Appetizer: 2 types of today's appetizers Sashimi: Assorted sashimi Cold dish: Tofu and sesame salad Grilled dish: Crab miso shell grill Steamed dish: Famous Hakata steamed dumplings Main dish: Hakata Jidori chicken thigh Tatsuta-age Rice dish: Kamameshi rice with Hakata Jidori chicken and burdock Soup: Today's miso soup Dessert: Pickled plum tea ice cream My favorites were the "Tofu and sesame salad" and the "Pickled plum tea ice cream." Especially the latter, with its roasted tea flavor, had a delightful texture reminiscent of ice with fine particles. The other dishes were generally average. ◆ Service: 3.1 The staff provided courteous service. There is a call button in the private room. It seems that outside of the course, additional orders were half-price. ◆ Atmosphere: 3.3 Located along the main street of Chayamachi, the restaurant is on the 4th floor of a building. While the lower floors are bustling, this place exudes a serene atmosphere from the outside. You have to take off your shoes upon entering, and the entire interior consists of private rooms. It's great for choosing the occasion you want to use it for. The lighting is dim, and the room temperature was slightly warmer. The presence of other customers was unclear, both before and after our visit. ◆ Cost Performance: 3.0 The "Fried Tatsuta-age and Kamameshi Rice with Hakata Jidori Chicken Course" is priced at 5,500 yen. With a coupon, it was reduced to 5,000 yen, and there was also a discount for additional orders. ◆ Drinks: - Data not available. --- The appeal lies in being able to leisurely spend time with your group. It likely meets the needs for business entertainment as well.

Private rooms, delicious Japanese cuisine, especially recommended is the Oudou Tomatoes. The cost performance of drinks such as sours and cocktails may be a bit lacking, but overall, I think it's a satisfying restaurant. The food is a bit more expensive compared to budget izakayas, but it's a nice place with a good atmosphere.

~Introduction~ I used this place for a large party of about 10 people in Umeda, where the building SIDAX is located. I used to come here often for karaoke when it was a different place... By the way, the adjacent restaurant KICHIRI or the Tohoku cuisine place? I used to frequent when I was in university. However, I can't remember what was here before, maybe it was part of KICHIRI? This place has a slightly different atmosphere from KICHIRI, with a more traditional Japanese feel. This time, we opted for the 3800 yen course, which was quite affordable, so I didn't have high expectations, but it turned out to be quite delicious for the price! ~Menu~ 1. Grilled Edamame: Edamame tastes even better when lightly seared like this, it's definitely delicious! 2. Pork Shabu-Shabu and Myoga Salad with Aromatic Sauce: I love Myoga, and the refreshing taste of Myoga on top of the pork shabu-shabu was delicious and addictive. 3. Deep-Fried Sand Lance Fish: I had sand lance fish once in Kagoshima a while back, and this was my second time trying it. It was delicious with just salt. 4. Shrimp Mayo Stir-Fry: I love shrimp mayo! The crispy fried shrimp with plenty of mayo and a hint of yuzu flavor was very satisfying. 5. Roast Beef: I've had roast beef at KICHIRI before, and it was delicious. The meat had mashed potatoes inside, which paired well together. 6. Grilled Udon: Udon as the final dish with a yuzu fragrance, refreshing and easy to make at home. 7. Warabi Mochi with Matcha Flavor: A refreshing matcha-flavored warabi mochi, a good palate cleanser. I'm full now. ~Conclusion~ I wonder if all the rooms are private? It seems like a good place for university drinking parties, mixers, or company gatherings. I tried the cheapest course this time, so I'm curious about how the more expensive courses are... I would like to try them sometime. Thank you for the meal!

After a meeting in Chayamachi, I went out to eat with my colleagues from the company. It wasn't a formal gathering, so we decided on all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu and ordered additional items as we pleased! I thought I could eat a lot since it was shabu-shabu, but surprisingly, I couldn't eat much. The vegetables were disappearing quickly though! We also ordered extras like ikura don and roast beef. The roast beef even had some truffle in it! We were seated in a spacious private room, which was nice for a relaxed atmosphere. The dim lighting added to the calm vibe, making it a good place for a casual drinking session. Thank you for the meal!

The interior and taste are good. Private rooms are also satisfactory. However, the course is priced at a decent amount, yet it is served in large plates instead of individual servings. "Huh? 8,500 yen per person for this??" The allowable stay time also has discrepancies between reservations and staff awareness. If I hadn't checked, I would have been kicked out an hour early. It feels like a waste.

I had a completely private room and was able to relax comfortably! The atmosphere was nice, the food was delicious, and the all-you-can-drink options were great! I will definitely go back.

The food was all delicious and beautifully presented. The time from ordering to the food being served was quick, and there were unique dishes that I hadn't seen elsewhere, making it fun to choose. The Mont Blanc dessert had more volume than I expected and was also delicious! I would like to use this restaurant again.

Stylish izakaya. The dishes are nicely presented but quite ordinary. Private rooms are nice, but it seems to sacrifice the speed of service. Just when you think your order has arrived, they knock on the door of the next room, making you feel like it's for them!

Visited the restaurant on Thursday at 18:30 as reserved by the client. The course menu included a variety of dishes such as salad, seafood, crab miso, chicken, soba, and dessert, all of which were delicious. If they could add draft beer to the drinks, it would be perfect.

I was wondering where to have dinner in Umeda after a long time, and then I found out that this place is a branch of KICHIRI, so I made a reservation for the "Colorful Course ¥4500". I have been a regular at KICHIRI, so I had high expectations for this place. The atmosphere and service from the lady who served us were great, and it didn't feel like a chain restaurant at all! The restaurant was dimly lit with all private rooms, which I personally love. You can hear a bit of noise from the next room, but you can't see anyone, so it didn't bother me. The course came with all-you-can-drink (except for draft beer, which is a separate plan), and if you feel like you need more food, you can order additional dishes at half price, which was a great deal! The dishes were beautifully presented and while they weren't anything extraordinary, I was satisfied. I wished there was a bit more food, but the attentive service makes it a great choice for business meetings or dates! I would definitely want to visit again when I'm in Umeda.

On the 4th floor of a building where Big Echo is located in Chayamachi, there is a restaurant. It is next to KICHIRI, and I later found out that this restaurant is part of a group. The entrance has a Japanese-style atmosphere with a touch of elegance. We were guided to a private room with a sunken kotatsu, which was calming, but it was a bit noisy every time people passed by. Today, we opted for a 5,000 yen all-you-can-drink course featuring local chicken. In conclusion, I was quite shocked as it did not match the price. The reasons being 1. Even when we rang the bell, the staff did not come promptly 2. The staff seemed busy and lacked a sense of hospitality 3. The food was disappointing for the price. I think 4,000 yen would be more appropriate. I consider it to be a higher-end chain izakaya, so if you are curious, please visit! (The atmosphere might be different when there are more staff members present)

The entrance is stylish, and the interior is a long private room maze. The staff's service was good, and we had a nice meal. If I had to ask for more, I'd like to see more options for soft drinks and food. It seems like the perfect private space in Umeda that could become addictive.

The food was excellent.
