OSAKA UMEDA: Kaki & Wine Tachigui Sushimaru... I am back!! Maguro quality was a bit different but still my fav standing sushi spot. (Canon G9X)

I don`t have a regular sushi spot in Tokyo but if I ever lived in Osaka this is my go to place! Revisited again in June... Kaki and Wine Tachgui Sushimaru !!



Todays recommended items

Covid Temperature check and alcohol at the entrance. 


Some 100 yen items.

400 yen includes Uni, Akagai, Anago, Unagi and ChuToro


Some things were sold out...売り切れ


The Maguro this day was a bit smaller and the texture rather regular vs my last visit.  The last time it almost had a chu-toro vibe. 

One of my favorites... Amaebi (sweet shrimp)



Some things marked off of todays recommendation


Of course! ChuToro... 2 pieces for 400 yen. It wasn't slightly grilled this time

Just grab this little tab and place it in the box.


Tekka Temaki... first time.



Not too bad but probably better to get the Maguro.

2nd Beeruuuu... 


Haven`t had Hamachi in years but its great for novice sushi diners. 

Hamachi tab. 


One more round of Maguro... 



Guy next to me ordered the Mega Hi-Ball... I had to follow. 






Closed with Akadashi Jiru (fish miso soup).  Overall this is definitely one of my most favorite wallet friendly sushi spots in Japan.

OSAKA UMEDA STATION B2F: Akashiyaki Bubutei... alternative to Takoyaki! Akashiyaki is a bit more fluffy and dipped in soup. (Sony RX100M2)

I was first introduced to Akashiyaki last year at a friends small home party gathering... You use the same Takoyaki grill but more eggs rather than heavy on the flower like Takoyaki.

Akashiyaki is from Hyogo Prefecture so its quite hard to find it anywhere else. 





This is me!



A few elderly ladies sitting next to me all drinking beer and enjoying Akashiyaki... Osaka women are very powerful. 





Tiny bit of Tako. 

Very fluffy and light on the stomach. 




If you are in the area definitely gooo!  Hankyu Sanbangai Food alley.



A few pics on how to make it at home.
