I was wandering around Dotonbori and was about to eat the famous Taiyaki. I was suddenly attracted by this shop opposite. It was brightly lit and had cute lanterns. It looked very powerful and fu~ There were quite a lot of customers, so I decided Let's eat the salty one first, then eat the taiyaki
(In Japan, everything looks delicious, and I get sucked away without knowing it XD)
There are indoor and semi-outdoor spaces
But they are all smoking, and the smell of smoke inside is quite heavy.
The menu is available in Japanese, Chinese, English, and Korean, which is very convenient
There are also limited-time combos and recommended courses
Seeing this picture looks very rich, and it is a popular product, so just order one of each
The clerk explained that the above is a mixed sashimi platter of 7-10 kinds, which is suitable for eating raw
The following is a platter of 6 kinds of tuna, which can be eaten raw or grilled
This is the first time I have encountered this kind of food that can be grilled by myself. I am looking forward to how the taste will be.
There are side dishes with seasonings and treats on the table. The side dishes taste sour and sweet, a bit like the taste of Korean cold noodle soup. It tastes quite refreshing
Ordered lemon sour (490 yen) and hot chrysanthemum authentic Daiginjo sake (520 yen)
Lemon sour is fresh lemon, it has no taste of alcohol, it just tastes like an ice-cold sparkling drink, with no taste
After heating the sake, the sweetness is increased. It is suitable for eating raw and cold food in cold weather, but it has a strong aftertaste. After drinking it, the body is warmed, but sleepiness strikes
The long-awaited sashimi platter is here (1680 yen)
But as soon as I saw it, I was suddenly disappointed... because the original photo had octopus, sea urchin and scallops, but this one didn't have any
I asked the clerk to explain that it is just out of stock now, but there are still 7-10 kinds of sashimi in it
But I can't accept this statement~~~ because I want to eat sea urchin the most (ಥ_ಥ)
This situation was not informed in advance, which made me feel a little dishonest, and started with a disappointment...
The raw prawns are quite big and fresh, but other fish tastes like pop, maybe I don’t have the wisdom to fish
Next is 6 kinds of tuna platter (1680 yen)
This one looks really beautiful and gorgeous, and there will be a mini baking dish attached on the side, with a fire underneath, it looks very interesting
First try to eat it raw. I don’t know if it’s the first plate full of fish. The taste is too similar. In addition, the fish in this plate tastes a lot of gluten. I really chew some and need to spit it out. not very tasty
Try to burn it, I don’t think there is any extra points after baking...
The fish meat becomes dry, I really don’t like it><
I think this plate looks beautiful but tastes poor
Later, I asked the chef of the Japanese restaurant, and he said that this kind of fish that can be grilled is usually a relatively bad fish. I suddenly realized that it was true! If it is delicious, it must be eaten raw! Why do you need to bake it! really learned a lesson
Tempura ordered three kinds of fried shrimp, squid, and cheese
It was already a little warm when it came up, if it wasn’t for the freshly fried temperature, it would be chilling first
The dough is the thickness of traditional tempura. The squid is more like the white and plump squid sold in Taiwan night markets. I think it is the most delicious inside.
In comparison, Bodhidharma skewers are a complete victory! !
This meal cost 6105 yen, super disappointed...
And at the end of the meal, small cockroaches appeared on the table... This is not Japan.
Rate two stars for the waiter's kindness and beautiful presentation
Later, I saw that the google score is only 3.3 points, and sometimes the score is really valuable for reference XD
But traveling~ These are precious memories in the future haha
With a feeling of disappointment, head to the original destination Naruto Taiyaki
Naruto Sculpture Ware Honpo Sennichimae Aibashi Store

This Naruto Taiyaki is an old chain brand. It has many branches in Osaka and Tokyo. It is quite famous, and the evaluation of each restaurant is quite high.
This time I went to the Dotonbori business district, just across from the restaurant in front, it’s just right to buy a taiyaki after eating salty food
And this one is open from 11am to 2am! open late
A small corner shop, only take-out, no internal seats
Order food in line, after ordering, a number plate will be issued, just wait by the side, and the number will be called to pick up the meal
Since they are all freshly baked, it takes about 5-10 minutes to wait.
There are three flavors: red bean (あずき 260 yen), sweet potato (金时いも 260 yen), and cream (カスタード 280 yen).
The biggest feature of this taiyaki is the independent baking mold, also known as ichicho (いっちょうやき), which has been made since Meiji 42 (AD 1909) until now.
Nowadays, many stores like chicken cakes and red bean cakes use a whole row of modules, and you can test a whole row at a time, which is more efficient.
Here is a baking mold with a sea bream, pour the batter and full of fillings, and then bake one by one in the fire.
The wait is worth it~ because the taiyaki is very hot
I ordered two flavors of red bean and cream
The red bean taste is very delicious
The red bean filling is between muddy and granular, with high sweetness and very hot
The crust is soft and chewy, with a crispy edge and a slight burnt aroma.
It is very delicious to eat together! Eating it in cold weather will give you a sense of happiness~
But because it is really hot, friends with cat tongues have to wait for a long time before they can eat XD
The creamy taste is custard sauce, which is a little different from the creamy taste of Taiwanese red bean cakes. It seems that the proportion of oil is higher. It may feel a little greasy after cooling down.
Personally, I prefer Taiwanese cream filling, but it is purely personal taste preference, this one is actually delicious
The same is very hot ~ directly add points to no good
And I feel comforted by making up for the previous restaurant that let me down (´•̥̥̥ω•̥̥̥`)
