This year, I feel like I've been discovering a lot of great restaurants at a pace where I'm giving them all top ratings. My taste buds might be a bit off, but food is subjective, right? In conclusion, Parlor Iwashi is a great restaurant! First off, the size of the restaurant. It feels cozy and intimate with soft lighting. There are only two staff members, but they are very friendly and cook with care. Everything looks delicious being prepared in the live kitchen. You can ask about the dishes you see being made, which is a privilege at the counter. The menu offers a wide variety of drinks and food, all of which are tempting and hard to choose from. If you're unsure, ask the staff for recommendations. I ended up ordering a lot because everything seemed so delicious. I had strawberry and water buffalo mozzarella, fresh spring rolls, wagyu beef tongue with wasabi, macaroni salad with orange flavor, caviar onigiri, baked camembert with Umeda honey, sardine sandwich, sardine croquette, olive oil gelato with salt, and lemon. All of them were delicious, absolutely exquisite. Among them, the most impressive were the sardine sandwich, sardine croquette, baked camembert, and olive oil gelato. The sardine sandwich, a specialty it seems, was made with delicious bread. As I've mentioned before, the bread is crucial for a sandwich to be tasty. The crispy yet chewy texture of the bread, combined with sardines and spicy mayonnaise, created a perfect balance that made it so easy to devour. The baked camembert had no hint of sharpness, almost making you question if it was really cheese. It paired perfectly with wine. And the dessert was also amazing. The olive oil gelato was delicious on its own, but when sprinkled with salt, it enhanced the sweetness. And when drizzled with lemon, it tasted like a rare cheese. These thoughtful touches were well planned. The restaurant had repeat customers and regulars, showing that it's worth visiting multiple times. It was a wonderful dining experience.

This is my third time visiting this restaurant, and every time I am amazed by how delicious everything is. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and it really shows that they care about every aspect of a great dining experience. I was recommended the watermelon gazpacho and the spring rolls with ayu and corn, both of which were incredibly tasty. I started with the chef's choice 5-piece appetizer platter, and every dish was fantastic. I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant again and again.

I have been going to this favorite restaurant since it opened. They offer a wide range of dishes from pasta to Chinese and Japanese cuisine, and everything is delicious. This time, I tried the seasonal menu items such as ayu and corn spring rolls, watermelon gazpacho, and beef tongue and bitter melon penne. The Sichuan pepper highball was also incredibly tasty!

I left it up to the chef to serve me a variety of dishes, and each one was delicious! There was no fishy smell in the sardines, just their unique flavor... The homemade oil sardines were exquisite. And the seasonal sansho pepper highball was addictive!

I arrived at a bar specializing in sardines - sardine croquettes, sardine sandwiches. There are many unique sardine-related dishes here! The spring roll series is also nostalgic and delicious! Good appetizers and good glass of wine are lined up.

It's a very popular Italian restaurant that I love. I have visited many times. Everything I order is delicious without fail, and I always want to try more and more different dishes. I fell in love with it from my first visit and ended up going once a week, haha. The black oolong tea highball is also refreshing and very tasty. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is cozy with dim lighting, making it easy for friends or couples to visit. The prices are also surprisingly reasonable for the quality of food. I always feel impressed. It's recommended to make a reservation before going.

I've always wanted to visit the popular Italian bar "Parlor 184 (Iwashi)" in Fukushima. The area between Fukushima and Shin-Fukushima is filled with really delicious looking restaurants. Among them, I was particularly interested in this one because it's called 184 (Iwashi)! Literally, they have a wide variety of creative dishes using sardines. Sardines are popular fish in Europe, such as Italy, Portugal, and Spain. I really love sardine dishes. Dishes like tomato and sardine oil sardines make wine go down so easily. Sicilian traditional dish "Beccafico" (sardines with cheese and breadcrumbs fried) is my absolute favorite. I was looking forward to what kind of sardine dishes I would encounter! This restaurant in the back alley doesn't have a prominent sign from the outside, truly a hidden gem. The warm lighting in the darkness is inviting. The interior is quite compact, reminiscent of a Spanish bar. After having a Merry Christmas with sparkling wine, I enjoyed a variety of creative dishes incorporating not only Italian but also Japanese, Chinese, and various cooking methods. Cold eggplant caponata, sardine nanban, stir-fried long green pepper and sesame salted kelp, sesame tofu, fried shrimp and cod kamaboko, baked Camembert with plum honey, anchovy sizzling with baguette, specialty sardine sandwich, Italian mapo tofu. The sardine sandwich is an original sandwich with sardine fry, homemade tartar sauce, mustard, and shiso leaf. Especially, the homemade tartar sauce enhances the deliciousness of the sardines! I wonder if it's mixed with boiled eggs, onions, cucumber pickles, and Nara pickles in mayonnaise? It's so delicious. They also had sardine Beccafico. The wine selection includes mainly domestic wines, as well as wines from Italy, France, and Australia, with a wide range of about 50 types. Each dish perfectly complements the wine, so I enjoyed a crisp dry white bottle. Panamera Chardonnay 2021 was smooth with a crisp finish, delicious! The only downside is that the restaurant is a bit small, but it's a wonderful place where you can enjoy unpretentious, delicious food and wine. Thank you for the meal.

I made a reservation and went to Parlor Iwashi, a stylish Italian-influenced restaurant in Fukushima, on Christmas Eve. The restaurant is known for its various dishes using sardines. The atmosphere was nice, but the place was a bit crowded. We decided to just enjoy ourselves with some sparkling wine. We left the wine selection to the staff and ordered a variety of dishes. The cold eggplant caponata was amazing, and the sesame tofu with baked camembert was unexpectedly delicious. The sardine sandwich, a specialty of the restaurant, was also very good. The unique twist on mapo tofu, which tasted like eating tofu with meat sauce, was also recommended. The food was all very delicious, and the atmosphere was great for a date night or casual dining, although the seating was a bit cramped. Overall, a fantastic restaurant worth trying.

Parlor Iwashi in Fukushima-ku, Osaka is a favorite restaurant of mine that serves seafood dishes, Italian cuisine, and bar food. The atmosphere is very stylish and the candles add to the ambiance. Their sardine sandwich is a winner and incredibly delicious. Other recommended dishes include wagyu tongue salad with balsamic sauce and parmesan cheese, matsutake mushroom foil-baked with sudachi ponzu, saury with myoga, sesame dressing, and sansho pepper, and duck with wasabi. The fruit tomato and red chili spaghetti is spicy and the acidity of the tomato pairs well with the chili. Truffle salami, sandfish confit with black pepper, beer, and black oolong highball made with homemade black oolong tea are also highly recommended. The restaurant's stylish and affordable Italian bar concept has won me over, and I can't wait to visit again.

This place was incredibly delicious. The spring rolls were especially amazing, a new twist on a classic dish. They weren't fried, but they weren't fresh spring rolls either. Surprisingly delicious. You have to try them. The sweet and sour pork was tender and flavorful. And the famous sardine sandwich is a must-try. Reservations are a must due to limited seating. There are both counter and table seating options. The dim lighting and cozy atmosphere make it great for a date. The space is a bit narrow, so it can get a bit noisy, but the taste is so good that I definitely want to go back.

The lively atmosphere of the bar-like restaurant was enjoyable. Watching the skilled chefs prepare dishes right in front of the counter seats was entertaining. I wanted to try all the sardine dishes! They were all delicious. There was a variety of drinks available, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Located about a 5-minute walk from Osaka/Fukushima Station, "Parlor Iwashi" is situated around Shin-Fukushima Station. Tucked away in a residential area off the main street, the restaurant doesn't have a prominent sign, with only the number "184" glowing. The exterior has a stylish Italian vibe. It's a great spot. I arrived around 8 pm, and the place was almost full, but I managed to get a table. It's a popular place. Inside, it has a trendy Italian bar atmosphere, and you wouldn't think it specializes in sardine dishes. While sardine dishes like sardine nanban-zuke and sardine oil sardines stand out, there is a wide variety of regular Italian dishes, making it quite difficult to choose. I ordered the signature sardine sandwich (800 yen), sardine croquette (500 yen), cold eggplant caponata (500 yen), mapo tofu (800 yen), and fig compote cream cheese (600 yen). The fig compote cream cheese is a must-try, with the sweetness of the figs perfectly complementing the cream cheese. It's served on crispy rusk instead of French bread. It pairs well with white wine or champagne. The cold eggplant caponata is delicious, with the acidity of the tomatoes, the sweetness of the vegetables, and the juiciness of the eggplant. The seasoning is just right, and I highly recommend ordering it as a starter. The sardine croquette seemed like an unusual choice, but I decided to try it out of curiosity. As I ate it, the flavors of the potatoes, sardines, and potatoes kept coming through. Surprisingly, it was quite delicious, and I found myself getting more and more hooked as I continued to eat. The sardine sandwich, another specialty, features thick sardines sandwiched between crispy bread. The bread is nicely toasted. The seasoning is exquisite, and the combination of bread and sardines is enhanced by the addition of shiso leaves and the master's touch. It's definitely a must-try. The mapo tofu (800 yen) isn't very spicy but has a strong numbing effect. It's slightly sweet and addictive with every bite. All the dishes are deliciously seasoned, and the creative sardine dishes are prepared with care, making for a very satisfying meal. Next time, I'll try a variety of dishes from the first restaurant.

When we went to another bar somewhere, it was the first time I met Mieko. We had a great time drinking outside and everything was delicious.

Today I visited a new restaurant called "Parlor Iwashi" for the first time! The inside of the restaurant had a calming light and was already full of customers. We were seated at a table for two in the back. We ordered a platter of assorted dishes and the recommended dish by the owner since my friend knew the owner. For drinks, we started with white wine and then had red wine! I was surprised by how reasonable the prices of the dishes were. I also got a sardine sandwich as a souvenir. I had a wonderful time enjoying the atmosphere, flavors, and the lovely time spent there. Thank you for the meal.

- Sardine sandwich - Sardine croquette - Saury and myoga sesame dressing - Fried shirako with black pepper and salt - Salted chicken nuggets - Eggplant gratin - Arugula salad - Horse mackerel sushi on a stick The sardine sandwich was delicious. When other customers ordered the sushi on a stick, the staff went around asking everyone if they wanted to try it. Of course, I also asked for it. Check out their Instagram @puribi518.

For a casual dinner, try this place. It has a great atmosphere and you can even drink in the garage in front of the restaurant. The main dish is sardines, but since it has a bar-like feel, there are plenty of other appealing menu options as well. What impressed me the most was the sardine sandwich to finish. I've never had anything like it before, and the creativity is amazing. Everything was delicious.

The sardine sandwich here is the best in Japan! It's incredibly delicious!! The sauce is exquisite. Sardine dishes like nanban-zuke, salad, grilled or fried are all delicious. You can also enjoy sake. Other small dishes and pasta are also delicious, to the point where I don't want to tell anyone who doesn't know. There are counter seats and table seats, and even though it's small, the atmosphere is also great!

If you want to have a stylish dinner in the gourmet battleground of Fukushima, this is the place to go. It's a restaurant specializing in sardine dishes. It's great for a girls' night out or a date, with a fantastic atmosphere. Here's what we ordered this time: - Sardine sandwich: This is the restaurant's signature dish. You definitely have to try it. - Autumn truffle carbonara: The aroma of truffle in this dish is amazing. The customers at the next table were tempted to order more when they smelled it. - Chicken Karaage: This Osaka-style karaage is really popular and delicious. - Kin kan and walnut white ae: The combination of kin kan, walnut, and white ae was irresistible. It was my first time trying this flavor, and it was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating. It went perfectly with white wine. I hope they reopen soon after the closure due to COVID-19.

Karaage is the best! I went to the second restaurant in Fukushima! I tried the recommended karaage, sardine sandwich, and Napolitan. Each dish had a homemade feel and showed the skill of the chef. The karaage had a special marinade for the chicken, making it crispy and easy to eat. I felt like I found a great restaurant. I will definitely go back.

There is a shop near Fukushima Station that has an interesting setup, with seats in a garage-like space that feels open and airy. The dishes are delicate and served in small plates, with a menu offering a mix of Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine. They also pair their dishes with wine, and of course, they have dishes featuring sardines as well. Everything was delicious and well-crafted. It's just the right balance - they really understand their customers and it's not just about the ego of the chefs. I feel like this kind of place will definitely become popular. That's why even on weekdays, the place was fully booked.笑
