"Grill Capital Toyotei Namba グリルキャピタル東洋亭 なんば店 TOUYOUTEI" is located on the 7th floor of Takashimaya in Osaka Nankai Namba Station. It is a well-known hamburger restaurant in Osaka. If you don't have a reservation, you can queue directly at the store (there are plenty of chairs outside the store, so you don't have to stand for long). It takes about 20 minutes to be seated for New Year's Day holiday dinner. The environment in the store is spacious and comfortable, the service is super good, the food is served quickly, and they are very friendly to foreigners and guide them on how to eat (even if they don't speak the language, they will use gestures 👏) Recommended meals: 🌟The century-old hamburger steak is worthy of being the most popular one. When it is served, you have to use a knife to cut the expanded aluminum foil. After cutting it, the rich aroma hits your nose. The hamburger steak is juicy and tasty. You can choose to pair it with white rice or bread. 🌟Chilled stuffed tomatoes + mushroom soup, this is the side dish of the set meal. The chilled stuffed tomatoes are also a popular must-order. The whole chilled tomato is fresh and juicy, and there is tuna salad underneath. 🌟Tomato jelly, this is a set meal combination, the whole tomato is made into jelly, it is refreshing and relieves greasiness after eating the heavy-flavored hamburger. Coffee or tea is also provided after the meal, making it a complete and satisfying Western + Japanese combination meal. The price per person is 3,000 yen, making it a good choice for dining alone or with friends.

Want to eat hearty soba noodles and be close to Namba Station? This one on the 7th floor of Takashimaya Osaka store is a good choice. #扣麦しゃぶ總家浪花そば is a traditional soba noodle shop. The noodles are ground in-house using a stone mill, and they also serve soba shabu-shabu. ✨Bonbori Bento (JPY 1980) This lunch is super filling. In addition to side dishes, there are also sashimi and some seasonal dishes, all of which taste quite special. The most delicious thing is the sushi made with buckwheat noodles. The Japanese soy sauce jelly on top is very strong and a little salty. There were also several pieces of tempura, the batter wasn't too thick. It's quite filling when you add rice and soba noodles. The buckwheat noodles have just the right amount of springiness and the hot soup is flavourful. ✨Ten-ra-O-Zori Imperial Set Meal (JPY2680) This is quite similar to the former. Tempura will be relatively richer with maitake mushrooms, squid, etc. There is also more salmon in sashimi. This one also comes with rice, but it’s just white rice, and a side of cold soba noodles. Both have warabimochi as dessert, but I feel that the Bonbori Bento is happier. ✨肉つけ (JPY 1300) This is soba noodles eaten as tsukemen. The buckwheat noodles were quite generous in portion, sprinkled with white sesame seeds which made them more fragrant, and the noodles were chewy when eaten. The dipping noodle soup is sukiyaki style, with pork and onions in it. When eating, you can also add the fried burdock root and eggs into the dipping noodle soup to make the taste more mellow. Finally, mix the light buckwheat water into the remaining buckwheat noodle soup. It is a good way to end your meal. . .

Review of the most popular tempura restaurant right now. Always long queues, but not a long wait. At the bar, we can see the staff frying fresh and serving in an omakase style. The staff will slowly fry and bring it to the table. The restaurant offers a set menu, rice bowls, or you can order separately. As for me, I ordered a set of 3 shrimps plus vegetables. The shrimp meat was bouncy and crispy, very delicious, and not oily. The onion chunks were very big. If you eat a lot, you might feel sick. And what you can't miss is the tempura eggs. They are delicious and creamy with the sauce that the restaurant recommends. They go great with rice. I also ordered a lot of clam soup to reduce the greasiness. It was delicious and worth the price. Almost can't finish it. Anyone who comes to Osaka, make a list of this restaurant. 🍱🍤 🕰️ Opening hours: 11:00AM-03:00PM / 05:00PM-09:30PM 💰 Price: ~270 baht 📍Address: Japan, 〒542-0076 Osaka, Chuo Ward, Namba, 3 Chome−3−4 難波日大ビル 1階 #TravelJapan #TravelOsaka #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck

This is what I ordered casually at a rest stop for lunch. I couldn't forget it after eating it, so I went to check the value of this ramen. It is a Shiga chain ramen restaurant that has been in business for more than 60 years. It also has stores in Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe. The signature is ✨ 涔江ちゃんぽん: golden soup + lots of vegetables and pork + 18-aged noodles (actually I don't know what it means, anyway it's delicious) The whole bowl of ramen is made in Japan. The soup base is made with bonito and kelp, the noodles are made with wheat flour produced in Shiga Prefecture, and the wild vegetables are contracted farmers in Kyoto and Shiga. It tastes very refreshing and is quite suitable for Taiwanese tastes. You can add vinegar or hot sauce to change the taste halfway through. I didn't add vinegar, but the hot sauce is very suitable and not too spicy. I rarely finish the ramen soup, but this one can. After drinking it, there is a fortune poem "good luck" at the bottom of the bowl. Does it mean that everything should be good luck? Who would order a bowl that is even more fierce... In addition, this restaurant is family-friendly, with children's meals, and children's ramen is only 500 yen. In addition, the fried rice is also delicious, with the taste of high-heat stir-fry. Store name: Omi-chanpon-tei Kansai.

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip The terminal in front of Nankai Namba Station (in front of Takashimaya) has been beautifully renovated✨ The Ebisubashi-suji Shopping Street is a 370m stretch of shopping mall with around 100 stores, stretching from the south end of Ebisubashi Bridge over the Dotonbori River to the front of Nankai Electric Railway Namba Station. After the Dotonbori River was completed and Ebisubashi Bridge was built in 1615, it became a bustling route for pilgrims to the Tenka Ebisu Festival and as a town in front of the gates of the theater town of Dotonbori, and a shopping street was built towards the end of the Edo period. In the Meiji period, Namba Station (1885) of the former Hankai Railway (now Nankai Electric Railway), Japan's oldest private railway, was completed, Takashimaya Namba opened (1932), Namba Station on the Midosuji Line opened (1935), and after the war, the Kintetsu Namba Line opened (1970), and it developed into a shopping street at the Namba terminal. Nowadays, the number of foreign tourists is increasing, and 551 and Uncle Rikuro's store are crowded with many tourists. There are also many souvenir shops and trendy foods✨ Ebisubashi-suji Shopping Street 3 Namba, Chuo-ku, Osaka 542-0076 #Osaka #Namba

Namba Yasaka Shrine is a well-known power spot, attracting numerous visitors from across Japan. The shrine's iconic ema hall, shaped like a giant lion's head, is said to "call for victory with its large mouth" and "swallow evil spirits, inviting good fortune and success in business." This unique feature draws many worshippers. While the main shrine is Kyoto's Yasaka Shrine, the kanji for "Saka" differs here, as it was named after Osaka's "阪" character. Additionally, Gion Gozu Tenno, often equated with Susanoo-no-Mikoto, is enshrined at Namba Yasaka Shrine, making it a beloved site for many even today. Though detailed records of the shrine's founding are unavailable, according to tradition, it was historically referred to as "Namba Shimo-no-Miya" and served as the guardian deity of the Namba area. By the era of Emperor Go-Sanjo during the Enkyu period (1069–1073), it was recognized as an ancient shrine dedicated to Gion Gozu Tenno. Originally a mixed Shinto-Buddhist site, the shrine underwent separation of Shinto and Buddhism during the Meiji Restoration, leading to the abolition of its temple and its designation as a village shrine in 1872. The current main hall was completed in May 1974. The annual tug-of-war ritual held on the third Sunday of January is based on the legend of Susanoo-no-Mikoto defeating the eight-headed serpent Yamata-no-Orochi, alleviating the people's suffering. In 2001, this event was designated as Osaka City's first intangible folk cultural property. The shrine is also popular among international visitors, ensuring it remains lively and bustling year-round.

Visiting ##osaka Osaka in the summer was a vivid, unforgettable experience. The city’s energy pulsed through every narrow alley and neon-lit street. I wandered through ##Dontobori in the evening heat, the air thick with the scent of takoyaki and grilled seafood. Street performers entertained lively crowds, and lanterns reflected off the canal’s surface. During the day, I explored Osaka Castle, where cicadas buzzed in the trees and children played under the blazing sun. I cooled off with matcha ice cream and found refuge in air-conditioned shops in Shinsaibashi. Despite the heat, the city’s vibrant culture made every moment magical.#travel #osaka

Temples, trains, and tons of takoyaki. Japan, you had me at ‘Itadakimasu’! I love to visiting JAPAN endlessly😍 Japan’s trains are a masterpiece of precision, comfort, and efficiency. Whether you're gliding through the countryside on a Shinkansen (bullet train) or riding a local commuter line, the entire system is incredibly punctual and meticulously clean. #japan #japanfood When it comes to food, Japan is a true culinary paradise. From Michelin-starred restaurants to humble street stalls, every meal is a blend of flavor, presentation, and tradition. Sushi, ramen, tempura, and yakitori are just the beginning—each region offers its own local specialties. Even convenience stores (like 7-Eleven or Lawson) surprise visitors with delicious, fresh, and well-made meals. The quality and attention to detail in Japanese cuisine reflect the country’s deep respect for food and hospitality. Together, Japan’s trains and food elevate travel into an experience that is as delightful as the destination itself. 💞Recommend: RAMEN EBI PACHI (hidden spot but the best ramen in Osaka) 📍Address:2 Chome-12-23 Nipponbashi, Chuo Ward, Osaka, 542-0073, Japan 🕰️Business Hours:11.30am-2.30pm & 6pm- 9.30pm (everyday) #osaka #travel #vacation #trending #takoyaki #ramen #beachlife #staycation #naturalwonders #thingstodo #kyoto #singapore #bullettrain #kansaitravel #couplestrip #myitinerary

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip I enjoyed an oyster ramen lunch at "NEXT□ (Next Shikaku)" in Namba, Osaka! The interior of the restaurant is decorated with projection mapping, creating an extraordinary space like a ramen theme park! This time I ordered "Oyster White Soup koeru". The triple soup of oyster paste, pork bones, and chicken is surprisingly punchy with the rich umami of oysters! The rich flavor that clings firmly to the flat noodles is irresistible! There are also plenty of side dishes such as smoked eggs and oyster rice, making it an irresistible lineup for oyster lovers! Ordering is smooth with the completely cashless and smart ticket machine. A new ramen experience that combines a rich bowl with a playful spatial design. I would like to try the clear soup and tsukemen someday!

Banikuryori Horse Horse Meat Specialist Shop Horse A restaurant selling horse meat in the heart of Namba. The horse meat is very soft. It may have a slight smell, but it is the unique smell of horse meat. It is very hard to find. If you like to try something unusual that you can't normally find, I recommend it. There are many parts of horse meat. The one I chose was frozen fat. It depends on your preference. I personally like the slightly reddish medium meat. The shop is easy to find. You can follow Google Maps.

Lunch at Kissho, a yakiniku and Korean restaurant in Namba, Osaka It's located just a few minutes walk from Nankai Namba Station. It's a hidden restaurant a little way back from the shopping street, but it's already crowded with locals at lunchtime. I ordered the Zundubu set meal. It comes with three different side dishes each day for 1,000 yen. It also has a lot of seafood, and has an authentic Korean taste. The restaurant has a calm atmosphere, so even solo diners can feel at ease. In the evening, you can enjoy yakiniku at this restaurant. They also have a wide variety of Korean dishes on the menu. Recommended for those looking for a filling and delicious lunch in Namba. 📍 Kissho ⏰ Lunchtime: 11:30-14:30 (check beforehand) 🚉 About 3 minutes walk from Nankai Namba Station #AbsolutelyFreeTravel
