The most popular yakiniku restaurant in Osaka right now!
I had a beef tongue at Oshidori that was definitely Instagram-worthy 😄.
I made a reservation over a week ago, but they were only open after 10:30pm, so I visited late😅.
First, the thick-sliced beef tongue wrapped with green onions 😋.
The thick beef tongue is filled with a thick layer of leeks in the filling, so it's really good! It's so good 😋.
And a special menu only for insta-followers! The yukke kimbap was also great👍!
Eating and drinking this much for less than 10,000 yen is a great cosmetic experience!

It was my first visit in about 10 years, but it was still very delicious. I thought the sautéed foie gras might be too much for me at my age, but I requested it in advance as a warm dish and it was very tasty, and I finished it quickly. (A few years ago, when I had it at another restaurant, it was too greasy for me, but as expected from Le Cro!) They also prepared a special service for our anniversary, and I had a very happy time. I definitely want to visit again.

The other day, I went to a hidden dining room that opened on March 7, which I had been curious about for a while 🍽🍻.
First of all, the place is on the 4th floor of a building marked "Gathering" 🍽.
I was also asked by customers who came to the restaurant where is the location by phone, so I am posting the location on the video.
I put the location in the video 👍
By the way, they don't seem to have a signboard, so it looks like a secret base, and the 4th floor of the building was so empty 😅.
I thought it's new entrance 🤭.
You take off your shoes at the entrance and put them in the store's handbag to enter.
Oh, by the way, you can take the bag home 👜.
I couldn't see inside, so I just had an image from a magazine.
I was afraid that I would look like a middle child had arrived.
But once inside, the handsome owner was very kind to me and made the store very easy to enter👍.
The interior is just like a magazine, mature and stylish.
The walls and ceiling are exposed to create a rough atmosphere.
The counter where you can sit on tatami mats like a kotatsu is a unique feature of the restaurant and makes it an easy space to talk 😊.
By the way, the owner also speaks to one person in a friendly manner, so you can enjoy it even if you are alone👍.
I have a lot to write but I'm limited to a few words😅.
In the midst of all this, I had the following
Smoked Sukiyaki" ¥1,800
This is the specialty of the restaurant and was featured in a magazine!
By the way, we also had the famous smoked lemon sour as our drink 🍻.
Sukiyaki... It was a new taste that seemed to overturn the concept of sukiyaki that I had eaten until now... In conclusion...
The meat is good, the broth is good, and the vegetables are delicious!
These three 👍...
The sauce is made of frozen tomatoes and sorbet, and when you put it on the meat, it melts and you can put it in your mouth.
When you put it in your mouth, it melts.
It's cool and warm, and the unique mellow smoky aroma of the smoked meat spreads out so well, it was really delicious 😭
There are 4 pieces of meat, but I could eat all of them with this 😭
The egg was also very rich in color and smooth, and it went well with the meat, and I also drank sake for the first time in a long time, so it was a great party 😊.
By the way, the handsome owner served me cheese curd, it was like a cheesecake and it was delicious and I was very curious about the other smoked dishes 😊.

The taste was undeniably delicious! I chose the lemon tart for dessert. It's rare to find such a perfect level of acidity, so I was impressed. I will give it four stars because the knife was too dull and there was no butter with the bread.
