I visited this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation for good food in the area, as I had a great experience here a few years ago. However, I was surprised to find that the interior had been renovated to a conveyor belt sushi style, which was unexpected. Personally, I preferred the old ambiance as it seemed like they would serve better quality food. Unfortunately, the dishes this time did not live up to the previous standards. The flavors were lacking and even my friend did not enjoy the meal. The sushi tasted like typical conveyor belt sushi and the shellfish was a bit fishy. I hope they can regain their former deliciousness and improve their food quality.

I didn't know anything about this place, but the shop had a nice atmosphere that made me feel excited. I mainly had fish dishes, which were fresh and delicious without any fishy smell. Truly delicious fish from Izumi! The sweet water eggplant was also tasty. I had it wrapped as a souvenir. I would love to go back again!

Osaka Izumi (Izumisano City) Expedition 3rd shop... I made a reservation in advance as it is highly rated on Tabelog (No. 1 in Izumisano City) and visited the restaurant. When I entered, the restaurant was packed and full of energy (truly a popular and thriving restaurant in Izumi, haha). I informed them of my reservation and was guided to the counter seats at the back (there were only 3 counter seats available, haha). (What I ate) - Today's appetizer - surprisingly good - Izumi's famous water eggplant - light and delicious - Kawahagi sashimi & simmered dish - the liver was amazing - Grilled hamaguri with soy sauce - thick and juicy - Deep-fried tongue flounder - perfect as a side dish, similar to Izumi's famous gatcho fried chicken (What I drank) - Izumi's local sake "Naniwa Shosu" served cold - Izumi's local sake "Sakamatsu" served warm (2 servings) - Shochu "Akakiri Island" with hot water Good seafood dishes paired with warm sake, quite sophisticated compared to typical casual izakayas. Although a bit pricey, the delicious dishes and good sake were worth it. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Can't wait to visit again (haha). Thank you for the meal.

After returning from Costco, I wanted to eat local fish so I searched online and decided on this place because it had good ratings on Tabelog. I visited the restaurant around 5 pm without a reservation, but luckily I was able to get a table. I was debating between ordering a sashimi platter or a single fish, but I went with the recommended single fish option by the waitress. I ordered a Kawahagi sashimi which came with liver, and they also offered to make a soup with the head and bones. The sashimi was fresh and delicious, and the liver had no unpleasant taste and was generously portioned. I didn't take a photo, but the conger eel sushi was soft and tasty, and the local Himechi tempura was also very good. The atmosphere of the restaurant was lively and pleasant, but it's a shame that it's far from my place so I can't visit often.

Despite being a bit far from the nearest station, this restaurant in Izumisano stands out with high ratings. The store is new and bright inside, with efficient and friendly staff. They offer a variety of local Izumi seafood such as conger eel, tongue sole, and mantis shrimp, perfect for seafood lovers. I ordered beer and three dishes: - Gatcho (Japanese sandfish) Karaage: The small fish was deep-fried and seasoned, making it crispy but a bit overpowering in flavor. It paired well with beer, great as a snack. - Izumi Mantis Shrimp: Despite the small size, each shrimp had rich umami flavor. Peeling them individually must have been quite a task. - Izumi Water Eggplant Pickles: The portion was surprisingly large, but the fluffy texture made it easy to eat. It's said that these were traditionally eaten for hydration during breaks from rice field work. There were many other Izumi specialties on the menu, so I definitely want to revisit. This popular spot is best reserved in advance.

A shop with a lot of menu options! Highly recommended for those who love alcohol! If you try to fill up on just food, the prices can be a bit high... The kitchen is visible and the compact space has about 15 table seats! You need to call the staff to order, not use a call button or anything like that! The parking lot is across the street from the shop and while it is spacious, if you make a mistake in the entrance, it can take time to park... All the staff were bright and cheerful, leaving a good impression! Next time I go, I definitely want to order that!

I have always come here when I feel like eating fish♪♪ It's always crowded so I make a reservation before going!! The menu is extensive so I always have trouble deciding, but the prices are reasonable so I end up ordering a lot!! The fish is fresh and every dish is delicious(o^^o)

I came to Takada after a long time! It's an old izakaya known for its delicious fish. I knew it was delicious, but I had stopped going because it always seemed crowded and noisy. But, after a long time, I went back! There is a second floor, and the tables are spacious. The menu is so extensive that it's hard to decide. There might have been yakitori or salad, but we enjoyed various delicious fresh fish dishes!

On the second day of my business trip in Osaka, I returned to my hotel in Izumisano City from Kishiwada City in the evening. I searched on Tabelog for dinner options and found a place within walking distance called "Sakaba Takada Honten" that serves Izumi cuisine, seasonal dishes, and fresh seafood. Despite the current situation with COVID-19, I called ahead and confirmed that they were operating with shortened hours but would be open until 8 pm. I walked through the light rain to the restaurant. Upon entering, I was greeted by a staff member and informed them that I was dining alone. They seated me at the counter. The restaurant also had table seating and raised tatami seating, and about 60% of the tables were occupied by what seemed to be locals. There were acrylic boards separating the seats for splash prevention. The menu was extensive, and I was a bit overwhelmed by the variety of choices. I started with a bottle of beer and ordered the following dishes: - Local pufferfish sashimi with ponzu sauce - Assorted deep-fried local fish with ponzu sauce - Soy sauce-grilled fresh oysters - Homemade kelp-pickled flounder - Shellfish sashimi - Grilled local horse mackerel - Homemade squid marinated in vinegar - Special miso soup with salmon and vegetables - Rice I also enjoyed Asahi Super Dry beer and a local Junmai sake from Shonosato Brewery. For dessert, I had horse mackerel tartare, homemade squid marinated in vinegar, special miso soup, and rice. The staff members were responsive and provided excellent service. It was a delightful experience enjoying the seafood from Izumi. Thank you for the delicious meal!

This time, my husband and I came to eat something warm together! We had dishes like tessa (blowfish sashimi), cod milt with ponzu sauce, deep-fried octopus, chawanmushi (savory egg custard), shirako (cod milt) gunkan-maki, and onigiri (rice balls), among others. The food was delicious as always, with a good variety of sashimi and fried dishes, and the prices were reasonable. Thank you for the meal.

I went out with a friend from work who is older than me, along with my husband. The three of us had a great time. Today we had steamed clams, assorted sashimi, grilled shrimp, tempura shrimp, and bone senbei. Maybe we had too much fried food? Our friend who came for the first time was very pleased. As always, the food was delicious.

I brought my mother today, so we ordered a few types of sushi together as we are both light drinkers. We tried fatty tuna, eel, squid, horse mackerel, sea urchin, all of which were delicious. The rice was a bit soft and crumbly when being formed (laughs). We also had bone crackers, bonito sashimi, recommended homemade sweet potato tempura, miso soup, and Izuminami eggplant. My mother was very happy. It's a casual place that is always delicious whenever you visit.

Continuing from last week's visit, I highly recommend the assorted sashimi platter, white shrimp tempura, octopus sashimi, and miso soup. Today, I indulged in the luxury of matsutake mushroom steamed in a pot, grilled long green pepper, and fried mochi. I'm full and satisfied. Thank you for another delicious meal today!

I've always wanted to visit this restaurant. Reservations are required. Even with a reservation, I was prepared to wait, but today I was seated at the counter smoothly. I was unsure of what to order, but I ended up ordering: 1. Today's assorted sashimi (large) 2. Grilled salted squid legs 3. White shrimp tempura 4. Izumisano water eggplant 5. Fresh octopus sashimi 6. Sea bream simmered in soy sauce 7. Crispy bone senbei 8. Miso soup 9. Rice balls. I also ordered my husband two bottles of beer and a shochu highball, and the total came to 3,000 yen. Everything was delicious, and I will definitely visit again!

I have been curious about this restaurant for a while because I have been hearing good things about it. I made a reservation and stopped by on my way back from Kannon Onsen. It seems to be popular in Sano. I was excited to hear that they serve local fish. There is a parking lot in front of the restaurant, in the back, and a little further away. Unfortunately, I couldn't drink because I was driving, but I enjoyed a non-alcoholic beer. Everything I ate was delicious. The prices were reasonable even though I ate quite a bit. Next time, I will definitely have a drink. I was very satisfied. Takada 072-463-6763 Osaka Prefecture Izumisano City Oonishi 1-13-29.

The oysters were also firm and delicious! The menu had a lot of variety, and the yudofu (tofu hot pot) was full of vegetables in a small pot. We ended up finishing a whole Kubota one-liter bottle between the two of us because it was so tasty. There were recommended dishes on the menu, so we were able to order without hesitation. I will definitely go back when I feel like having some fish dishes again!

Today, I went to a drinking party at "Takada" in Izumisano with two colleagues from work. It's a highly popular restaurant in southern Osaka, so we made a reservation in advance. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were seated at a table on the second floor and started with some draft beer. The charm of this place lies in its diverse menu, ranging from fresh seafood to meat, tempura, pizza, sweets, and even ramen. Everything is not only delicious but also reasonably priced. We ordered a la carte this time, and I will review the dishes we had. - Starter: Sesame blowfish with ponzu sauce, a refreshing and tasty start. - Bonito sashimi: Small portion but very delicious. - Simmered octopus: A bit disappointing for octopus lovers. - Fried oysters: Perfectly fried with a juicy oyster inside. - Grilled clam: Absolutely delicious, had to order more. - Seared Spanish mackerel: Rich and tasty, loved the fatty texture. - Grilled shrimp with salt: Extremely delicious, had to order more. - Striped jack with ponzu sauce: Fresh and flavorful, the fat was sweet and delicious. - Whitefish sashimi: A fun dish to eat, difficult to pick up but tasty. - Grilled oysters: Another outstanding dish, had to order more. - Pork offal pancake: Top-notch in terms of taste, everyone loved it. - Grilled conger eel: Juicy and perfectly grilled, accelerated the pace of drinking. - Sea urchin sushi: A single piece but delicious, a quick and satisfying bite. - Snow crab miso salad: A great appetizer that went well with sake. - Red snapper soup: The best dish of the day, sucked the marrow from the bones. - Grilled stingray fin: Excellent sear, kept the sake flowing. - Herring roe: A delightful dish that brought back memories of New Year's. - Simmered red snapper roe: A traditional New Year's dish, looking forward to a good year. - Fried small shrimp: Perfectly seasoned, my favorite. - Pickled water eggplant: A local favorite, a refreshing side dish. - Chinese noodles: We initially planned to eat at a nearby ramen shop, but the noodles here were even better. We indulged in these dishes while I drank 3 draft beers, 5 hot sakes, 2 bottles of Tosa Tsuru, 2 bottles of Kuroge Wagyu, and 1 bottle of Kureharu. My colleagues also drank a similar amount. The total bill came to 10,700 yen per person, exceeding our expectations but worth it for the delicious food and drinks. The atmosphere was lively, and we had a great time.

In Izumisano, there is a popular izakaya where you can enjoy local ingredients, such as Izumi duck. It's similar to Izumi's Izayoi in Abeno. I tried the famous Gatcho fried chicken for the first time, and it was crispy, delicious, and easy to eat, perfect with alcohol. If you're in Izumi, be sure to check it out.

On Sunday, I arrived at the restaurant at 3:45 pm for my 5 pm reservation. The place was bustling with customers, and even though I had a reservation, I had to wait a bit before being seated. The staff were very efficient and recommended dishes like flounder and rare sardines. I ordered dishes like cod milt in ponzu sauce, small shrimp tempura, grilled stingray fin, and rolled omelette. The standout dish for me was the crispy fried gatcho, which was delicious. Despite the crowded restaurant, the service was prompt and the staff were energetic. I look forward to visiting again to try more dishes like tuna belly, snow crab, and sushi. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience and I can't wait to go back.

The other day, I went to Takadani for the second time in my life at a drinking party ☺️ I heard that it is a very famous restaurant in Izumisano, so I went there and tried various dishes such as sashimi platter and tamagoyaki, which were all very delicious. I plan to visit again because the food was so tasty! There were also plenty of drinks available, and the delicious dishes made the drinks go down smoothly. Unfortunately, this time they didn't have the Gaccho's fried chicken that I had last time, so I hope to try it again next time ☺️ Thank you for the wonderful meal.
