OSAKA: Jerk Man for a great dish of Jamaican Jerk Chicken and the owner/wife were wonderful. A MUST! (Sony RX100M3)

When you travel its usually a must to ask your Japanese friends what they like... so this night I asked Mari and she totally recommended Jerk Man.  Had to go on day 1 of my Osaka trip. 

Several tables on one end and there is also counter seating overlooking the kitchen. Several regulars there chatting up the owners. 

Lots of original Jerk Man sauces. 

Just as in Ramen spots... the top left is usually the shops most recommended item. Jerk Chicken it was!

Draft beers 500 yen. Most other items were priced higher. 

Rather small glass of beer but I was here just for the food. 

Daily specials.  Jerk Pork Potato Salad and Sheequaasaa (Okinawan lemon) Chu-Hi. 

After my order the chef walked out with a plate of chicken and smoked it in this barrel outside.  Took about 15 minutes but my dish was soooo hot! Nice!!

Lots of volume and the grilled chicken was chunky.  

Guys... the best Jerk Chicken I ever had in Japan.  The volume of chicken and rice was perfect.  If you speak a bit of Japanese the staff will totally chat you up... my food got cold :(

Kojimachi 31 MT Bldg Lot: Kingston12 Jamaican Lunch Wagon... (Tuesdays Only)

Off to one of my favorite lunch wagon spots in Tokyo... 

31 MT building lot!

Jamaican... yum... always a fan of Jerk Chicken shop AALAWI in Ebisu but its been a long while since I went back...

Torn between the brown stew chicken that I've never tried before and the jerk chicken... so as usual I go with what I know. Both only 600yen!  One of the least expensive bento's in this lot.

Looks like another choice... Stew and Steamed Cabbage on Rice for only 500yen.

Leaflet for some Reggae club in Shinjuku... (click to enlarge).

Friendly chef hard at work... you'll find customers in Tokyo rarely chat up restaurant or even store staff (unlike the US).  But if you do they are always so receptive and nice.

And there it is!  My Jerk Chicken... absolutely satisfied.  The chicken was very tender and spice on top added just enough flavor to keep me going.

I'll definitely be back to try the Stewed Chicken plate!
