ボンパパ
Urgently decided to go on a solo trip to Osaka. I thought it would be a good idea to have a meal with my friends in Osaka, so I decided on the restaurant "Mamagotoya" a day before. This is a restaurant that I have been interested in for about 10 years. I always thought I would go someday, but 10 years have passed (^-^;) Now, with many other new restaurants opening up, it feels a bit forgotten. So, I easily made a reservation. The restaurant is great for friends with many food preferences as they mainly serve dishes that can be ordered individually. I'm glad I was able to accommodate my friend's picky eating habits. After eating here, we will head to the Minami district. The location is in a dining building behind the Nikko Hotel, on the 5th floor. Upon entering the restaurant, we took off our shoes and were led to a private room. It has a feeling of being suitable for entertaining guests. The menu changes daily, so we chose from the menu of the day. As it is a traditional Japanese restaurant, they are flexible with requests. The prices are not listed as it is a traditional Japanese restaurant. We discussed with the staff and ordered accordingly. The dishes we had included scallops with roe (appetizer), assorted sashimi (horse sashimi, swordfish, sea bream, squid, sea urchin), turtle-shaped dumplings in turtle soup, scallops and raw sea urchin tempura, blowfish sperm sac grilled, squid tempura, lotus root bun, and fried bamboo shoots. After this, we had some drinks, so we stopped here this time. All the dishes were of high quality and tasted delicious. The flavors were rich and pleasing. The restaurant is also flexible with requests and the cost performance is good considering the quality of the food. Overall, it's a very good restaurant and I felt that way as Bonpapa. It's relatively quiet here (*'∀') Perhaps because Osaka has a developed food culture, this area is not as crowded. This restaurant is perfect for solo diners as well. If you happen to be in this area for work, be sure to check it out! I highly recommend this restaurant for those whose needs match. Thank you for the meal.
