HIGASHI NAGASAKI: Osaka Ohsho for their fantastic 500 yen Gyoza and Medium Draft Beer deal! Super friendly chef and nice clean shop! (Sony RX100, iPhone 12 Mini)

My favorite budget combo spot Gyoza-no-Manshu? NOPE!

Tonight it was a new spot called Osaka Ohsho... another super famous Gyoza franchise.

Wow 500yen Gyoza and Beer set! Tax inclusive chat!
This signed totally lured me in...


Super nice touch panel ordering system. 

Lots of food photos lining the walls.

Gyoza prices... 1 person portion 290 yen, 2 portions 580 yen, 3 portions 870 yen...Normally you would think the more you order there would be a slight discount but never in Japan. 







Medium size Draft beers are normally 540 yen,




Earth, Wind & Fire - Boogie Wonderland

Doukoku by Shizuka Kudo... 80s Jpop!


My 500 yen Gyoza and Beer set!  Beer usually 540 yen and Gyoza 290 yen. 
830 yen value for 500 yen! Thats a really nice deal. 

Mix a little shoyu, vinegar and spicy red oil to your liking.


Compared the Gyoza no Manshu this place has a bit more garlic and the pot sticker wrapper is thinner.... I say its a bit more crispy too.  Great with beer for sure!


Grand Total! 

There were so many cool oldies on the BGM! The Flame by Cheap Trick!






I was chatting up the chef and said I often goto Gyoza no Manshu but he said they serve gyoza that is frozen rather than fresh! Wow I never knew that!  I think this place wraps their own gyozas daily? 
Chef gave me a handful of free gyoza coupons! Normally you get 1 coupon per 1 gyoza order and its good until January 31st!! Super cool chef. 

I closed out the restaurant! 10pm!  Overall what a wonderful clean spacious restaurant to enjoy a great 500 yen combo deal. Plus the 80s music on the BGM was just super relaxing.  WILL BE BACK!!
Oh the waitress was super friendly too.

OIZUMIGAKUEN: Yoronotaki Izakaya to take advantage of Paypay seafood restaurant 1,000 yen cash back! Quality kinda questionable. (Sony RX100, iPhone 12 Mini)

Paypay is having great 1,000 yen cash back promo for Seafood and Sushi restaurants in Tokyo! Only realized this a few days prior and mentioned it to my friend... he invited me out to his home town to try Yoronotaki IZakaya.

Specials on the board.880 yen sushi platter.

This is the Paypay deal! You can get 30% cash back up to 1,000 yen.



Lunch specials.


Ebisu Bottle beeru 528 yen! Always prefer bottle to draft unless the draft beer mug is Ice Cold.


View of Sumo on TV.

Automatic 308 yen appetizer Otoshi.  Tiny plate of chilled somen noodles and cucumbers.



Full Drink Menu.

Specials of the day.

Full Menu Here


Sashimi platter with 3 kinds of seafood... they gave us a free portion of scallopos


Kimchee.


Then we move on to a bottle of Kurokirishima 720ml Imo Shochu.
2090 yen for a bottle or 429 yen for a glass.


352 yen for bucket of ice and water to mix with the shochu

Fuku Tempura only 480 yen... thought this stuff cost hundreds of dollars.  Kinda reminded me of any ole white fish tempura.  Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Yum




If at a Izakaya definitely get this Egg! Its made to order. Has a slight sweetness.
Just add a bit of shoyu to the grated white raddish and eat together.

This was totally made at some huge factory. Asked the young Japanesee waitress if it ws homemade... she looked at me and quietly shook her head no! I knew it!


FYI Ladies... the toilet is a very old traditional Japanese squatting type.  


Overall the restaurant seemed dated, the chef a rather elderly man and I had no hopes of this place being any good... was concerned I might get a stomach ache. BUT! It turned out to be rather decent. Its been here for years so I assume the locals love it. OH! For groups of 4 they have 150min all you can drink course plans: https://tabelog.com/tokyo/A1321/A132103/13100450/party/
