About this place
If you’re weighing up the lunch set meals, tuna katsu and an assortment of sashimi offer two different ways to enjoy fish. One diner who ordered the tuna katsu set meal praised its tender, fatty flesh. Another visitor, however, found it less tender than its earlier reputation had led them to expect. Opinions on the texture differ, but it’s an option for a day when fried fish sounds appealing. One account of the set meal mentions miso soup, a small side dish, salad and pickles. On one visit, a diner ordered the tuna katsu set meal for 650 yen and also enjoyed a small dish of octopus in vinegar and potato salad. Prices and contents may change, so check when ordering.
For fish without the batter, consider the sashimi assortment set meal or a tuna rice bowl. One diner reported that the sashimi set included tuna, sea bream and yellowtail. Another visitor ordered a tuna rice bowl and a tuna and minced-tuna rice bowl; both came with miso soup, a small side dish and pickles, and were topped with enough sashimi to cover the rice. The choice between a set meal with side dishes and a bowl that puts fish centre stage gives lunch a different feel.
The evening menu features Osaka-style obanzai dishes such as tuna katsu, chicken nanban, fried mackerel and yellowtail collar simmered with daikon. With sashimi, simmered dishes and fried food to choose from, it also suits a meal of small plates and drinks. Drinks include draft beer and sake. Black Nikka Clear whisky can be ordered on the rocks, with water or with soda.
Dine-in service is available, and the restaurant is described as suitable for solo diners. Payment is cash only, so bear that in mind even if you’re stopping by for a lunch set meal.
