First time visiting this restaurant. I was running late from my original reservation time, but they still held my seat for me. When I arrived and sat down, I found a message card and a 5 yen coin on the table. The 5 yen coin was a token of good luck, symbolizing the connection we have. This service was a pleasant surprise for me! The bird sashimi was delicious, and I could visually confirm its freshness with an hourglass. The staff were very kind and provided excellent service. It was a great restaurant that made me want to come back again next time.

I visited a second bar for a drinking party in Umeda today. It was Wednesday, November 10, 2021, at 8:00 PM. There were a few seats available. I felt like eating yakitori, so I visited without any research. We ordered a yakitori assortment of five types for two people and basil-flavored tomato slices with soft bone. The soft bone with basil was delicious. We also enjoyed a variety of wines and ordered one red and one white bottle. Thank you for the meal.

Yakitori restaurant in front of the station. It's right near the Hankyu Omiya-cho exit. The specialty seems to be Kirishima chicken directly delivered from Miyazaki. I was recommended, so I ordered the morning sashimi assortment. Am I a good customer? The sweet soy sauce from Kyushu was delightful. The liver sashimi was the most delicious. The others were not particularly impressive. As advised, I finished within 15 minutes. The grilled dishes were decent. Probably using a broiler for the yakitori. But it's juicy to the point where the juices overflow. Their grilling technique is solid. The tare grilled skewers also have a good balance of saltiness. This is an important point in a yakitori restaurant. I asked for a rolled omelette, which can be described as a Japanese-style omelette. It's not bad at all, but...

Osaka Umeda "Torigin" was a restaurant I happened to visit, and the chicken sashimi was delicious! The carbonara at this yakitori restaurant was rich in flavor, and my friend enjoyed it! #Osaka #Umeda #Torigin #yakitori #chicken sashimi #carbonara

I climbed up to Umeda and faced the usual struggle of finding a place to eat. The live beef skewer restaurant was full, so I somehow ended up here. The food was average, but it was tough sitting next to a heavy smoker. If there are no other options late at night, I might come back. Otherwise...thank you for the meal.

Today, I visited Torigin Honten. I usually don't eat dishes like tataki or tartare, but I peeked at the table next to me and decided to order them. They were surprisingly delicious, with no unpleasant smell and a nice texture. It was my first time here, but it was quite crowded. The staff were all friendly and the food was good. I also ordered a few other dishes, which were all decently sized and tasty. I will definitely come back again.

I visited the restaurant for the fourth time and it was completely packed. The rich carbonara was extremely thick and perfect for me in my tipsy state. However, it was tough that they didn't have green tea mixed drinks. I hope they will have them in the future. Thank you for the meal.

My friend made a reservation and went ahead. When I arrived late, it was already last order. Due to my job in the service industry, I often end up being late for gatherings with friends, so they usually start without me. Some other places are more flexible with last order times, but this one is strict. It's good to be aware of this when visiting. The staff are all cool and don't smile. If you prefer a hassle-free experience, this might be a good choice.

Recently, it's rare to find a smoking-permitted restaurant. As a result, the customers are all heavy smokers. The food and prices are normal, but it can be tough for non-smokers. Even after leaving, my suit still smells like smoke. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the second restaurant. It was a place where I only wanted some appetizers and drinks, but the tsukune (chicken meatballs) were surprisingly delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The staff first introduced the menu, which was easy to understand. It felt like a typical izakaya. Thank you for the meal.

The service was good as they were efficient, but the yakitori and other dishes were not delicious. The yakitori was not cooked well and the other dishes just didn't taste good, I don't understand why. I was disappointed to find out that there was only one piece of chicken sashimi in the two-person order, and it was hard to cut with chopsticks.

I wanted to go to a certain restaurant but there was a long line and I wouldn't make it in time for my train, so I ended up going to this nearby place instead. It was quite crowded on a Saturday. The inside of the restaurant had table seats in the back, but they were close to each other so it might not be suitable for those who want a relaxing atmosphere. It was lively and felt like a typical izakaya. The menu had a wide variety of options, with Kagoshima chicken being recommended. This time, I tried the white liver sashimi for 690 yen and the chicken skin skewer for 120 yen. It's a great place to casually enjoy delicious food. Thank you for the meal!

When it comes to yakitori chains, there is a tendency to think of them as a bit generic, but this restaurant stands out with its unique characteristics. "Torigin" uses Kagoshima chicken, which is making its first appearance in Kansai, and offers vegetables selected by a vegetable sommelier. It's a great place for both men and women who love vegetables. The interior has a long counter and table seats, giving off a vibe of a large izakaya. The staff are well-trained and provide a sense of security. They serve Suntory Premium Malt's draft beer, which is perfect for those who enjoy its richness. As for the food, the appetizers include simmered hijiki seaweed and squid mentaiko, which are pretty standard. The seasonal vegetable with salt koji bagna cauda is delicious, with a nice crisp texture. The chicken heart is soft and bouncy, and the sauce is great. The negima (chicken thigh with leek) is a standard choice, and the chicken tenderloin with wasabi is served separately, allowing you to adjust the amount of wasabi. The chicken nanban with homemade tartar sauce is recommended by many, and it is indeed tasty, but it's probably more appealing to younger customers. The homemade tsukune (chicken meatballs) with onsen tamago (soft-boiled egg) is a satisfying dish, with the egg adding a nice touch. The chicken liver is soft and fluffy, and it's best enjoyed warm. Overall, this yakitori izakaya is suitable for groups, couples, or solo diners, offering affordable prices and a casual dining experience.

Before 7pm on a regular day, let's go for a drink! We decided to wander around this area and ended up at this restaurant we couldn't get into before because it was always full. Today, it was relatively empty. We ordered a few items that caught our eye. The tsukune was rich and delicious! The stir-fried green vegetables were also well-prepared. The yuzu and red pepper seasoning added a nice touch, making it tasty. We ordered quite a few other dishes, but when we got the bill, we were pleasantly surprised! The cost performance here is great for this area. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service. Before we knew it, the restaurant was full. It's popular for a reason.
