The story
Tucked away in Osaka’s Sennichimae district, this tiny izakaya has earned a loyal following—and a 4.7-star rating—by delivering an experience that feels both secret and generous. “Discovered thanks to our local friend Masa,” the creator behind Cosa mangiamo oggi? raved about the “incredible value” after eating a feast for just 1,500 yen per person (about €15). Standouts from that meal included an Amarone Crudo, spicy Foglie di Wasabi, and chicken liver with Ponzu—each dish a quiet argument for keeping this spot off the tourist radar.
That kind of honest, unfussy cooking defines the place. It’s the sort of izakaya where the menu doesn’t need to shout, and where a full table of plates somehow still leaves change from a 2,000-yen note. For visitors willing to follow a local’s lead, that hidden doorway off the main drag rewards with focused flavors and a bill that feels like a cheat code.

We had raw amarone — abalone. I've never seen this before. It's like eating cartilage, very interesting.
Foglie di Wasabi Piccanti
Spicy wasabi leaves served as an accompaniment to mountain potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Fegato con Ponzu
Take a piece of liver, dip it in ponzu, then take a perilla leaf, put it all together and eat it. Then wash it down. Amazing.
