The grilled chicken, chicken liver, chicken and leek, eggplant dumplings, chicken miso cutlet, and tofu hot pot were all delicious. The three types of yakitori we always order never disappoint. The other menu items also have a consistent and satisfying taste. The hot pot broth made with chicken white soup has a rich flavor. If they can make such a good soup, they should consider serving ramen as well. These dishes were truly satisfying. Will consider visiting again.

Established in the Showa era in 1951, Masakiya is a well-known yakitori restaurant with locations in Osaka, Sakai, and Kyoto, as well as outlets in department store food halls for takeout. Today, we will focus on their lunch menu at the Namba main store, which is conveniently located across from Takashimaya Department Store. They offer seven affordable lunch options, and the quality is exceptional despite the reasonable prices. The secret sauce alone is enough to make you want more rice. The portions are generous, but sometimes you may find yourself wishing for a bit more rice. Regardless of your appetite, their dishes will stimulate your taste buds. Today, I tried the "Kushi Set Meal" lunch, which includes three yakitori skewers and three kushiage skewers, along with salad, red miso soup, pickles, and rice. It's a satisfying meal that will leave you feeling content. I recently discovered that changing the order in which I eat the six skewers can offer a different dining experience. However, I always end with the chicken liver kushikatsu without even realizing it. The restaurant is always bustling with customers enjoying beer alongside their lunch, which is a tempting idea. With such delicious food, it's no wonder people keep coming back and collecting stamps on their loyalty cards. Time to get back to work after this enjoyable meal!

Beer is best enjoyed on a hot day with a cold glass. As a yakitori shop, Sakioya's grilled chicken is delicious, but the shop in Namba stands out because they use charcoal grilling, making it exceptionally tasty. The grilling brings out the deliciousness of the chicken to the fullest. The aroma of the charcoal when you take a bite is amazing! I highly recommend all shops to use charcoal grilling!

I heard about a delicious yakitori restaurant that has been around for a long time and decided to visit. The restaurant had two floors, with each table separated, creating a spacious and comfortable dining environment. It was a bit busy due to the Obon holiday, so it took some time for the draft beer to arrive, but other food and drinks were served relatively quickly. I ate and drank to my heart's content and the total bill came out to be a little over 4000 yen per person, which was great value for money!

The other day I visited Masakiya Namba store for a cool down drink. Until 6 pm, there were no customers, but by 7 pm it was full house. I enjoyed various yakitori dishes with highballs, and the onigiri menu was delicious too. It was a satisfying dinner with a full stomach. #Masakiya #Yakitori #NambaGourmet #OsakaGourmet #Minami #NambaGourmet #Tabearuki #Want to connect with people who love drinking #Want to connect with people who love food walks #Izakaya #MinamiDate #MinamiGourmet

I passed by a restaurant and the yakitori set caught my attention. I decided to order it without hesitation. It was around 3pm, so the restaurant was relatively empty. I waited for about 10 minutes and the yakitori looked delicious. The set came with salad and miso soup. The yakitori was freshly grilled and the rice had a decent portion. It tasted good. The miso soup was also good, but the salad was average. I usually feel awkward going to a yakitori restaurant alone, but this place had counter seats which made it easy for solo diners. I am also interested in trying the yudofu set next time. Taste: 3.5, Ambiance: 3, Value for money: 3.5, Service: 3, Portion size: 3, Variety of menu: 3, Customer service: 3.5, Overall rating: 3.2

After a long time, I had a business trip to Osaka. When I got off at Namba station and was looking for a place to have lunch near my afternoon appointment, I noticed this restaurant. As I was looking at the lunch menu outside the store, the teriyaki bento box caught my eye. I sat at the counter inside the store and ordered the teriyaki bento box. After a short wait, the bento box was served. When I took a bite of the teriyaki, the smoky flavor of charcoal spread and the firm chicken meat was delicious. The rice with sauce on it also increased my appetite. The deep-fried skewers were crispy and made the rice even more enjoyable. As I ate other side dishes, I became full. It was also convenient that PiTaPa could be used for payment. Thank you for the meal.

Since becoming a working adult, I occasionally relied on the "Tori Bento" A and B from Masakiya in Umeda during my younger days. I had a craving for it recently, so I satisfied it with yakitori this time, but I finished with the "Tori Bento A" (just for me). It's simple, but it's a taste that brings back memories. Thank you for the meal ☆☆☆

Visit time: 15:10 on a weekday Wait time: None Menu: Yakitori set meal for 900 yen + bottled beer I was almost becoming a lunch refugee, but I found an open restaurant. It was Masakiya. Since it's a yakitori restaurant, I had the yakitori set meal. It was January 3rd, so everyone around me was drinking from noon, which was reassuring. I also had a beer. It seems like a good place to eat and drink cheaply at night as well. Thank you for the meal.

I often buy the yakitori from this shop at Takashimaya's basement and enjoy it at home, but I had never visited the shop before so I always wanted to go someday. It was just as nice as I had imagined. I ordered a regular temperature sake served in a tokkuri with a flat bottom when I touched the bottom with my finger. I ordered skewers of chicken skin, liver, and meatballs separately, as well as grilled skewers and steamed chicken yukke. I thought I could order more if it wasn't enough, but this was sufficient for me. I was a bit disappointed that there were no raw sashimi options, but I understand it's for safety reasons. It was lunchtime when I visited, and many people were ordering from the lunch menu. I was impressed that the lunch menu was available from opening until 5 pm. I enjoyed everything I ordered, including the two glasses of sake. It was a great time. Thank you for the meal.

In Osaka, I often see this shop around but never went in. I happened to pass by and ordered the grilled chicken set for 900 yen. The grilled chicken was tender and delicious. However, the white rice was not that great. The interior of the shop was somewhat dark and lacked a sense of cleanliness. If the shop was cleaner, the food might have tasted even better.

Namba ◇ Yakitori ◇ [Namba 4-chome, Chuo-ku] When you go south from the intersection of Sennichimae Street and Midosuji Street (Namba) and turn right at the curve, you will find "Masakiya Namba Store" diagonally across from Takashimaya. I think I came here about 20 years ago. I used to play mahjong near here often. It brings back memories of the time when we used to play without worrying about the bad luck of eating yakitori before a match. A lunch drink before the Kikka Sho! We visited shortly after the store opened, and we were guided to the second floor. The old man started with beer, while I ordered the yakitori set meal. The set included a variety of yakitori, kushikatsu, and shochu on the rocks. The old man passionately talked about his favorite horse of the day, Ask Victor Moore. I was confident in my single win bet, but disappointed with the exacta bet. Yakitori before a match, whether it's mahjong or not, is not a good idea. "Thank you for the meal."

While walking past a yakitori restaurant, I suddenly felt like eating yakitori and decided to visit. The shop was also located in Takashimaya nearby, with many customers buying, indicating its popularity. Before entering Takashimaya, I visited this shop I saw earlier. I ordered duck and green onion skewers, tsukune wrapped in shiso, yakitori, and miso-grilled items. The saltiness was just right, with a delicious charcoal flavor. The price of around 200 yen per skewer may seem high, but the undeniable deliciousness made it worth it. It was a great place to enjoy with some drinks!

Before introducing the dishes, I want to talk about the amazing business acumen of this restaurant. The menu items have a high profit margin, and even a single skewer is not cheap. However, they rely on the taste to justify the prices. The fact that the restaurant is always full is impressive. The prices for skewers start at 200 yen and some items are even 400 yen each, but they are all of a consistently high quality. Even the soup that comes with the set meals is delicious. What's truly remarkable is that there are some great value menu items, like the Chicken Soboro Bento. It's not exactly cheap, but it's available as a lunch special until 5 pm, and you can also order it at night. The bento box is a separate item and the soboro has a delicious flavor that really stands out. The side dishes like the fried chicken are also tasty. When you're feeling a bit hungry and debating whether to go to Yoshinoya or not, you can easily enjoy a quick and satisfying meal with the Chicken Soboro Bento at the same price. Truly impressive, as expected from Seikoya.

Grilled chicken skewer set and hot tofu set. The hot tofu had a miso soup with tofu floating in it, and the broth was really delicious, different from regular miso soup. The hot tofu and fried skewers were a set. The grilled chicken skewers were consistently delicious. The charred aroma was tasty. Thank you for the meal.

Today's lunch was at "Shoukiya Namba Store" for the first time. I ordered the yakitori set meal for 970 yen (tax included). Even though they offered a free large serving of rice, I opted for the regular size. After placing my order, I realized, "Oh, there's chicken liver skewers in this, isn't there?" But it was too late to ask, so I just waited for my meal to arrive. In about 5 minutes, my meal was served! As expected, there were chicken liver skewers included (laughs). The yakitori set meal came with 2 chicken and green onion skewers, 2 tsukune (chicken meatballs) skewers, 1 chicken liver skewer, salad (cabbage, cucumber, carrot with dressing), red miso soup (with seaweed), rice (a decent portion), and pickles (2 large pieces of radish). I sprinkled some sansho pepper on the yakitori and red miso soup before enjoying them. Unfortunately, I couldn't eat the chicken liver skewer. The chicken and green onion skewers were incredibly delicious! The tsukune skewers were also very tasty! I believe they use high-quality chicken, and the flavor from being grilled over charcoal was exquisite! The red miso soup was delicious too. The salad and pickles were average. The rice was a bit on the firm side. It was tasty, but I think it would be even better if the price was a bit lower. Thank you for the meal!

I was able to eat without a reservation or waiting near Namba Station on this day! The interior of the restaurant is not very spacious but has a nice atmosphere. The location is convenient as it faces the road and is easy to find. *･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

You can enjoy the "lunch set" all day long here. I was exhausted after work and decided to stop by for some shopping. Remembering a recommendation from a friend, I tried the lunch set just before 5 pm. The staff informed me that you can order the lunch set all day long, even for dinner. The set included freshly grilled yakitori (three skewers), deep-fried kushikatsu (three skewers), salad, miso soup, rice, and pickles, all for just 1000 yen. It was a delicious and satisfying meal.

An old man ate yakitori in Namba. The old man really likes yakitori. It seems like he used to peek into yakitori shops here and there. However, recently there is an atmosphere that makes it difficult to go to drinking places. It's because of that emergency declaration thing. It's a bit awkward to go drinking even with friends. But in this stressful world, the old man feels keenly that he needs to drink alcohol to survive! However, as a common man, he doesn't want to cause trouble to others as much as possible. So, he quietly ate yakitori alone during the day. He really wants to go to a drinking place with a lot of people and enjoy eating and drinking together. But that would be risky in terms of infection. However, if he eats yakitori and drinks beer quietly alone without talking to anyone, that should be fine, right? There are hardly any other customers around during the day. It's okay, right? After all, if we don't use restaurants, they will go out of business! So, this time, he ate yakitori at a shop called Shokichiya in Minami. First, he ordered a variety of yakitori and also some fried chicken. He drank cold beer while enjoying these. Hot fried chicken and freshly grilled yakitori. He enjoyed these with beer. As his body started to get cold, he changed the alcohol to hot sake. Then, strangely, he felt like ordering more side dishes. So, he decided to order a dish called tamahimo, which is a type of chicken offal dish. It's basically eating eggs that are still in the egg tube. It may look very unappetizing, but it tastes delicious. The rich taste of the eggs and the chewy texture of the egg tube are irresistibly delicious. It's a strong-flavored dish, so people who don't like it probably won't eat it. The old man enjoyed it very much. So, he visited a yakitori shop after a long time and enjoyed various bird dishes! It was delicious. If you have the chance, please try it out. Although it is a period of self-restraint now, I think we should use food shops within the permissible range while being careful about infection. Otherwise, the restaurants will go out of business and the food culture of this country will disappear. So please, give it a try!
