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 :(

ROPPONGI: The infamous wildly popular seafood spot Shinbashi Uokin is now in Roppongi! Soooo good! (Sony RX100M2)

Counter seating with a view of the chefs.

Rather spacious counter.

Todays specials. These hand written menus always add a nice touch. 

I think this was a fish meatball in soup with side of anago.  It may have been the Otoshi. 

This breaded tuna similar to Tonkatsu was so good. Crispy on the outside and rare inside.

Crab corokke.  Very creamy.

Chu-toro rolls.. melty good.

Sukiyaki bowl.  Meat was exceptionally tender... even my VC friend who has taken several companies public said it was very good. 

Sui-Gyoza (boiled gyoza) in Mapo tofu sauce. Probably the least favorite item of the night. I mean gyoza is pretty much the same anywhere you eat it with small changes to the inside. 

Lots of casual table seating behind the counter. 

Part of the drink menu... price point a big higher. Probably dude to Roppongi rents.

Overall this place is a hit.  If you are ever in Roppongi and in search of a seafood izakaya Uokin is a must!  Much more variety than a sushi shop and very cozy interior plus both manager/waitress were super friendly.  NOTE: Everything was good but its rather Expensive... specialty whisky hi-balls we had were over 1,000 yen.
