#Sakura2024 ~ Mr. Puppy ~ A curry ramen restaurant in Minamimorimachi, Osaka. I used to go there often because my workplace was nearby. I went there for the first time in about 10 years. I was surprised to see that the owner had changed. What I ordered...Pork curry ramen (¥850) + mellow onsen egg (¥100) The noodles are curly and the soup is thick. It's curry, but it also has a fruity feel, and the flavor of the ingredients is concentrated and addictive. I've only ever had this flavor here! It's very delicious when mixed with the noodles. Rice is free for lunch. I add a onsen egg and eat it together. It's quite filling, but even if you're full, you can't miss this final dish. I thought it might have needed a little more spice (maybe the taste has changed since before?) It's rare to find a restaurant where you can eat curry ramen, and it's delicious, so please give it a try. ✎＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ Mr. Puppy 3-6-27 Nishitenma, Kita-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka 11:30 - 15:30 17:30 - 20:30 Closed: Sundays About a 5-minute walk from Minamimorimachi Station ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ #OsakaSightseeing#OsakaGourmet#CurryRamen#OsakaLunch#UmedaLunch#Minamimorimachi#MinamimorimachiLunch

#OsakaSightseeing ~Coffee House Victor~ A coffee shop in Tenma, Osaka. This old-fashioned coffee shop allows smoking inside. It does smell quite a bit, so it might be tough for people who don't like cigarettes. I don't smoke, but I went in because I liked the old-fashioned atmosphere. There are many types, such as pudding sundaes, parfaits, and pancakes, so it's hard to decide. I ended up getting a fruit sundae (750 yen), but the first thing they brought me was a plate to put the fruit peels in. They were very kind. Then I got an old-fashioned sundae with fruits such as apples, bananas, and pineapples, and ice cream on top. I was torn between a parfait and a sundae, but the volume was enough for me. I think a lot of people were eating parfaits inside the shop. I made friends with the person next to me, so it was a fun coffee shop. -------------------------- Coffee House Victor 4-7-29 Tenjinbashi, Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture Weekdays 9:00-23:00 Sundays and holidays 9:00-22:00 No fixed holidays About 5 minutes walk from Tenma Station -------------------------- #Coffee House Victor#Coffee shop#Retro coffee shop#Osaka gourmet#Osaka lunch#Tenma gourmet#Osaka sightseeing#Osaka#Osaka cafe#Osaka

I had the "Ultimate Mapo Tofu Set" (1,000 yen) for lunch at Chuka Labo Choyo! This hidden gem, located in the basement of a building in Kita-Shinchi, is run by a former head chef of Chinese cuisine at the Dojima Hotel, offering authentic flavors. The lunch menu is simple, with two main options: "Mapo Tofu" or "Steamed Fish." Without hesitation, I chose the Mapo Tofu! The Mapo Tofu served was a vibrant red dish, signaling its spiciness and numbing sensation from the chili oil and Sichuan pepper. As I scooped it with a spoon, the aroma wafted up with the steam, and the first bite delivered a complex flavor experience—spicy yet delicious! The dish was packed with coarsely ground meat, and the depth of flavor from fermented black beans and Sichuan pepper oil was truly impressive. The set includes rice, pickled vegetables, salad, and dessert (almond tofu), with unlimited rice refills. If you're not a fan of the numbing sensation, you can request less Sichuan pepper to suit your taste. The interior has a calm, modern Chinese vibe, and the service is attentive. At just 1,000 yen, the quality is outstanding and offers great value for money. This is the essence of a Kita-Shinchi lunch, where you can savor the depth of spiciness and aroma. Next time I'm in Osaka, I'll definitely come back to try the steamed fish as well. It was a truly satisfying experience! 📍 Address: Basement Floor, Dojima Linden Building, 1-3-8 Dojima, Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture 🕰️ Hours: 11:30–13:40, 18:00–22:00 (Closed on Sundays) 💰 Budget: Lunch 1,000 yen, Dinner 4,000 yen

The mapo tofu, with the bubbling sound of Sichuan pepper, has an exquisite balance of numbing spiciness and flavor, making it perfect for eating with rice! The side dishes of corn soup and shrimp mayo were also carefully prepared, and each dish was very satisfying. Even on a weekday, the restaurant was bustling right after opening, and local businessmen and regulars were noticeable! In the evening, they also offer an authentic Chinese course (from 6,000 yen) using high-quality ingredients such as shark fin and Peking duck, making it perfect for entertaining or anniversaries. It's a nice hideaway that you can use when you want to enjoy a casual lunch and authentic flavors.
