Located in Tennoji-ku, Osaka City, "Kainantei Tsuruhashi" is a restaurant that has been selected as one of the "2021 Yakiniku WEST Top 100" on Tabelog. It is a short 5-minute walk from Tsuruhashi Station on the JR Loop Line, Kintetsu Osaka Line and Nara Line, as well as the Osaka Metro Sennichimae Line. I visited the restaurant shortly after it opened on a weekday at around 11:30 am.
The restaurant has a traditional and slightly upscale atmosphere, with spacious tables and ample spacing between them. I ordered the "Harami Teishoku (100g)" for 1,760 yen, which comes with salad, side dishes, rice, egg soup, dessert, and a drink. You can have unlimited refills of salad, rice, and egg soup. One of the highlights of their lunch menu is the "egg rice porridge" that you can enjoy at the end of your meal.
The quality of the meat at Kainantei Tsuruhashi is top-notch among the Tsuruhashi yakiniku lunch options. The yakiniku sauce is based on kelp dashi, with the "momidare" being rich and the "tsukedare" being sweet and tangy yet light and delicious. After finishing the meat and salad, I made a delicious porridge by topping the remaining rice with leftover side dishes, egg soup, and yakiniku sauce. It was truly satisfying.
The meal also includes dessert (almond jelly) and access to the drink bar. They serve barley tea for iced tea and corn tea for hot tea, and provide a hot towel at the end of the meal. The service at the restaurant was excellent, making for a high level of satisfaction during my lunchtime experience. I highly recommend this place to everyone!
