Jiyuayatai Food Stall

When I arrived in Osaka, the first thing that came to my mind was of course eating sashimi! This food stall is the second one mentioned in the top 10 restaurants with long queues recommended in the Keihanshin Dominance Guide.

The budget of 15,000 for two people was acceptable. The overall meal time is about 1-2 hours. From the pursuit of authentic tableware to the open dining table, the capable Chef started preparing the ingredients right in front of us, from cutting to dipping to frying, smoothly and naturally.

Tips:

1. It is only open in the evening. You need to make a reservation at least 3 days in advance. Don't be late, because the dishes will start to be served together when a row of customers are seated. Because you think, it is impossible to fry them one by one, of course they should be fried in batches.

2. The location is not too out of the way, but it was a little hard to find the first time. The facade is low-key and secretive, with only a curtain marked with the store name.

3. If the fried skewers are not a set meal, the chef will continue to serve it if you don’t ask him to stop. If you are full, you should tell the waiter in time.

5. All cooking processes are completed in front of the diners. There is a small pickle wrapped in vegetable leaves, which is very good. You can ask for more after you finish eating.

6. There will be desserts after the stop, and the ice cream is very good.

Sanmoto Noodles

The legendary No. 1 udon in Kyoto. What kind of attraction makes diners willing to wait in line for two hours just to get a bowl of hot udon noodles in Kyoto, a city with many beautiful scenery? I must pay a visit. There was already a long queue when I arrived at 11 a.m., and the high score of 4.1 on Tabelog shows that there are also many local diners.

Hirokawa Unagi House

This is the highest-rated eel restaurant in the Kansai region on tabelog!

The eel is fragrant and tender, melts in your mouth, has just the right smooth and oily texture, is not greasy at all, and does not have any fishy smell. If you go to Arashiyama, 100% recommended!

Tips:

1. There are many people and you have to queue up. The waiting time for a table at noon will be longer (it is recommended to queue up immediately after 11 o'clock when visiting Lanshan). It is better in the evening. I will wait until 6:25 at 5:15 pm on the day I go. More than an hour is not long enough.

2. The word "Guangchuan" is written on the small sign. You will miss it if you are not careful.

3. It’s more cost-effective to order a set meal. The cheapest set meal A is 3,900 yen. However, I see that Japanese people still order more single dishes. A single portion of eel rice only costs more than 2,000 yen, which is actually a good deal.

4. After ordering, the clerk will kindly remind you: You can take pictures here, but you cannot use flash.
