I found a izakaya in Osaka Prefecture near Higobashi Station. I visited for the first time on a holiday night. I was able to make a reservation by phone at the last minute. It's on the 2nd floor of a building. The table seats are sunken kotatsu style, which makes it comfortable for your legs. - Complimentary appetizer: Shirasu (whitebait) and mekabu (seaweed) with ponzu sauce. - Beer (medium bottle) 550 yen - Five Great Plum Wines 500 yen - Assorted obanzai (home-style dishes) small size 880 yen: 5 types including spicy konjac, macaroni salad, deep-fried eggplant, chicken liver ginger simmered, and simmered pork belly. - Grilled fresh saury with charcoal 780 yen: Large size, well-seasoned with salt and refreshing with sudachi citrus. - Grilled chicken thigh with salt 780 yen: Served with yuzu pepper, salt, and chili pepper, and garnished with green onions. Fragrant and delicious. - Thick fried tofu kimchi 580 yen: Thick fried tofu is crispy. Served with napa cabbage kimchi, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes. - Specialty egg over rice 380 yen Everything I ordered was delicious. Reasonable prices. The dishes are visually appealing. It feels like they are made with care for your body. I think this izakaya is a great restaurant.

The atmosphere is calm and relaxed, with warm curtains separating the space. It's a place where adults can enjoy leisurely conversations. We ordered a sashimi assortment, seared bonito, boiled pike conger, assorted side dishes, three kinds of black wagyu beef, assorted pickles, stingray fin, and some kind of tempura (forgot the name of the fish). We had about 10 drinks each. It might be more cost-effective to go for a course menu. The dishes were all delicious and of high quality. It felt like they were using good ingredients. The drinks were also all enjoyable. There was no sense of cheapness at all. The prices were a bit on the high side, perhaps due to the location.

It's a little over a 10-minute walk from Higobashi Station on the Osaka Metro Yotsubashi Line. You might be surprised to find a place like this in such a location. It's on the 2nd floor of a somewhat suspicious-looking building. Take the small elevator up to the 2nd floor and you'll feel the atmosphere at the entrance. However, once you step inside, the situation changes completely. The spacious interior and the friendly staff create a great atmosphere. This place is a hidden gem. This time, I enjoyed a course meal with a drink.

A casual yet upscale izakaya where you have to take off your shoes. The assorted sashimi and simmered kinmedai were especially delicious. The menu font may be a bit hard to read, but I think it adds to the charm. Overall, I think it's a hidden gem and highly recommend it.

First visit to Heiji-an. A small restaurant on the second floor of a building. Every dish was fantastic. I want to visit this place often. Both the meat and fish were delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant is calm and you can enjoy your meal slowly. I will visit again. Thank you for the meal. Ψ( 'ч' ☆)

I visited the izakaya restaurant "Edohori Waji-an" in Nishi Ward, Osaka City! This hidden gem is located on the second floor of a mixed-use building and is incredibly popular. The level of their dishes is beyond typical izakaya standards, it can be considered the top izakaya in town. Every dish I tried was so delicious that I was truly impressed and satisfied. I will definitely visit regularly! The service was also excellent, the cost performance was great, and overall it was a wonderful restaurant. It was so delicious! Thank you for the meal!

The place is well-maintained. My companion has strong quirks, but it's okay. Because everything we ordered was delicious with full effort. The speed from ordering to serving is fine as long as you adjust your expectations for impatience, as they take their time to prepare each dish. They have a wide range of alcohol options, so you can bring someone with preferences or quirks without worry. During the period when they were closed due to COVID, I sent an email and received a very polite response, showing that they value each encounter. It's a genius restaurant.

Tabelog rating 3.70, Edobori Kazuji-an in Higobashi. I visited after work. I made a phone reservation just in case. I ordered dishes that caught my eye and were not sold out. - The appetizer was oysters. They were big and had a refreshing aftertaste, very delicious. - Assorted obanzai (980 yen) There were about 6 kinds of obanzai, gentle on the body and delicious. - Chicken Nanban (680 yen) It had a strong dashi flavor and was delicious! It was richer than regular Chicken Nanban. - Wagyu tendon daikon (780 yen) The beef was surprisingly firm, and it was refreshing with daikon, very tasty. The sashimi assortment and mapo tofu were sold out, so I want to try them next time.

I really wanted to eat sea urchin, so I visited this place. The sea urchin was so delicious that I had seconds! They have a variety of dishes to choose from, including meat and fish, which is great. For dessert, I had a refreshing Shine Muscat.

I had been curious about this highly rated restaurant for a while. I started by ordering a few recommended sashimi dishes. They were all very fresh and of a quality that you wouldn't find at a regular izakaya! The menu offers a wide variety of meat and fish dishes, and everything I tried was incredibly delicious! The service was also great, the dishes were served quickly, and the atmosphere was very comfortable. It's a fantastic izakaya where anyone you bring will definitely be satisfied! ^_^

I visited for dinner on a regular day. This restaurant has both a first floor and a second floor. On this day, only the second floor was open for business, and I was able to enjoy my meal in a relaxed tatami room. The appetizers were surprisingly good! The seafood was all fresh and delicious! The side dishes were also all delicious! Next time, I'll order a bottle of shochu!

I was invited to go and try it out! The use of good quality fish, meat, and vegetables is evident, and everything is cooked well. The macaroni salad in the obanzai dish was especially delicious, and although I am not an expert, I felt that the skill of the chef was evident in this dish. It's usually difficult to make a reservation, so I'm glad I was able to go.

This is a popular restaurant where you have to make a reservation to get in. It is divided into two floors, with the first floor having a counter, tables, and tatami seating, while the second floor is mainly tatami seating. I've tried to walk in a few times without success. It's almost impossible during peak hours. If you go late, it might be possible, but this time I made a reservation by phone for 10:30 PM. We were seated at a table on the first floor (for 4 people) and quickly ordered from the menu. The space was quite cramped and noisy. We ordered a sashimi platter, yakitori, meat dishes, and mapo tofu, among other items. The food was good, but the lively atmosphere and the fact that it's always crowded probably add to its popularity. We ate and drank, and before we knew it, it was time to catch the last train. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Popular izakaya in Edobori always seems to be fully booked. It's a hidden gem with a small door that gives off an Alice in Wonderland vibe. I've always liked cozy, small spaces, so I enjoy places like this. It might be inconvenient for tall people though. The atmosphere, service, food, and tableware are all excellent. This is a classy izakaya for adults.

The meat and fish were both delicious, so I was already quite excited before going. The most impressive thing was the wide variety of shochu available, and even though I'm not usually a shochu drinker, I was able to find a shochu I liked (Kizami no Itteki). For the fish dishes, I had the last of the season's oyster fry. The sashimi, grilled dishes, and simmered dishes were all delicious without any disappointments. For the meat dishes, I had grilled black wagyu beef and harami steak. While lean meat is good, the impact of the fatty black wagyu beef was unforgettable. For the finale, I had shirasu-don with raw egg. The staff were thoughtful and kind. Thank you for a wonderful time. Thank you for the meal.

I had been wanting to visit this izakaya for a few years now, and although I had been turned down a few times, I had forgotten about it. But suddenly, I remembered and decided to give them a call. They told me they could accommodate me on the second floor and warned me that there was a party reservation that night, so it might get noisy. But that didn't bother me at all. I finally got to visit "Wajian" and was asked to take off my shoes before being led to a table with a sunken kotatsu. There was a heater under the table to keep my feet warm. The seating was separated by curtains, giving a nice cozy feeling. I started with a draft beer and ordered a small appetizer platter and a sashimi platter. The appetizers were delicious, but one of my favorites, the white miso with spring chrysanthemum, had an ingredient I didn't like - chicory. After the beer, I switched to a sake from Yamagata called "Joukigen" - a crisp, sharp, extra dry sake with a clean finish. I ended up ordering an extra glass because it was so good. The sashimi platter included seared golden eye snapper and sazae, which were both delicious. I also tried beef tendon with ponzu, cod milt tempura, sand liver, chicken tenderloin, and meatballs. The highlight was the "Wagyu Hachikoshiyaki" - tender and incredibly delicious. I wanted to try more dishes, but I was already full. The menu had so many tempting options and a wide variety of shochu. It was a great dining experience at Wajian.

I made a reservation for the weekend and the restaurant was fully booked. They seated us on the second floor in a traditional tatami room with sunken kotatsu tables separated by sudare screens. The menu was surprisingly extensive with a variety of Japanese dishes like mapo tofu and seasonal dishes like oysters. The food was delicious and the overall quality was high, which was pleasing. The service was understandably busy on the weekend, but overall it was a great dining experience.

"Along with 'Shin Yuuki,' the best restaurant I discovered this year is here.

I had been curious about this restaurant that I had seen on TV for a while. It's about a 4-minute walk from Higobashi Station. They serve draft beer and also have a good selection of sake. The potato salad with lots of eggs was delicious, like a tartar potato salad. We enjoyed a sashimi platter with a toast of sake!! The izakaya menu, including yakitori and wagyu beef on a hot stone, was also delicious!! Instagram ID: kuidaore.8.

Head to "Edobori Waji-an" in Nishi Ward, Osaka City. It is located about 300m west of the nearest subway station, Higobashi Station on the Yotsubashi Line. As you pass through the slightly low entrance, you'll enter a warmly lit interior with a wooden theme. This restaurant stands out for its wide variety of menu options, covering everything from sashimi, grilled dishes, fried foods, tempura, skewers, yakiniku, hot pot, side dishes, and finishing dishes. What makes this place remarkable is that the quality of the dishes rivals that of specialized restaurants, be it tempura or yakiniku. Starting with a sharp sashimi platter, followed by live Awabi from Awaji. I opted for a super dry Harushika sake, which paired perfectly with the meal. In between, I enjoyed the crispy salad with fried dried radish and myoga, as well as the potato salad. Next up was a trio of wagyu beef cuts - Haneshita, Harami, and Bara. The Haneshita, enjoyed with salt and wasabi, was a delight with its tender texture and sweet oil bursting in the mouth. The yakitori included juicy Seseri and the flavorful hand-kneaded Tsukune, generously coated with egg yolk and sweet sauce. The chicken Nanban with plenty of egg-rich tartar was a hit, along with the charcoal-grilled asparagus and the fresh firefly squid. After a breather with the plump edamame and assorted pickles, we indulged in a carb fest with homemade pizza and oversized sushi. Despite all this, we couldn't resist trying the Chinese soba with beef and radish broth. The staff's humorous and attentive service, along with the perfect balance of being present but not intrusive, made the dining experience complete. This popular restaurant requires reservations, but it's a great choice for treating important friends from afar. Thank you for the feast!

If you want to eat delicious fish in Osaka ♡, I was recommended by a gourmet and went there. The restaurant has a casual izakaya-style atmosphere where you can easily enter alone or with colleagues after work. The assorted sashimi is exquisite and the cozy atmosphere makes it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal.
