OSAKA NAMBA: Ebisu Restaurant... amazing Teppanyaki Wagyu Steak! Plus everything else was delicious!!

My favorite client President Masa of ALCO Corporation wasn't able to make it this night but he booked another amazing restaurant in Osaka for us!  Everything was just soooo delicious. 

Counter seat sits 5 and it was all ours.   Perfect view of the chef. 

 

Started off with raw liver seasoned in sesame seed oil.  Guests from NY passed on this but it does take a while to adjust to eating raw meats.

Yakitori but not on a charcoal grill... it was made on the teppanyaki iron plate.

OMG! This awabi abolone grilled with butter I think was so tender and flavorful... loved the texture.

Time for Wagyu Steak!

Wow... huge chunks of marbleized wagyu. 

Tender tender... juicy juicy... oh yum.

After a few beers shifted to chilled Nihonshu.

Of course okonomiyaki!  

Time for a bit of rolled egg.

 This is how you make an egg roll on a hot teppanyaki steel plate.

Yakisoba!

They serve Shandygaff here!

The different kinds of shochu... have both akakirishima and kurokirishima.

The friendly owner was outside talking to the regulars (center).  The GODASHDOT president and director visiting from NYC!  A great night with the ALCO team.

Overall if you had to just goto 1 friendly delicious spot in Namba then this is the place!  Everything was fantastic and the counter seating had a full view of the chef making everything!

AZABU JUBAN: Okonomiyaki Ichimaru... very cozy spot with just 1 employee. (SONY RX100)

Finally my friends who always end up at Torikizoku in Azabu Juban suggested we goto another restaurant... this time a very small cozy Okonomiyaki spot just around the corner.

Only a few items are pictured so better to brush up on your Japanese before arriving.

Steak! 1,380yen... hmm... I'd pass on this.

Bean spouts and conbu... 

The owner/chef cooks everything for you... most places you need to do this on your own but that can be fun too.

This shop has been around for 6 years and lots of popular celebrity autographs.

First beer then moved over to Hoppy...  You will get a glass of shochu and add the Hoppy (almost tastes like a beer shochu).

Pork Kimchee okonomiyaki... yum!

Butter squid... 

And we close with some Monja... 

Overall I would definitely suggest going for their course plus all you can drink as our bill came out to 4,000 yen each.   If you need a cozy spot to eat definitely try this spot! I will surely go back.
