Japanese restaurant • 2-chōme-20-4 Shōnai Nishimachi, Toyonaka, Osaka 561-0832, Japan
The izakaya Gouchan, located in Toyonaka City, Osaka, is a hidden gem near Shonai Station. This long-established store, beloved for over 50 years in the area, cherishes the flavors of Kyushu while continuing to evolve to meet the demands of the times.
What Gouchan focuses on the most is the fresh ingredients directly delivered from Kyushu. The horse sashimi retains the original taste of Kyushu, and the special sweet soy sauce complements it perfectly. You can also enjoy fresh sashimi with Japanese sake.
One of the dishes that reflects the owner's dedication is the delicious tempura with a crispy texture. Originally a specialty of a kushikatsu restaurant, the crispy texture of the batter is quite addictive. To end the meal, you can indulge in grilled mackerel, boiled turban shell, and jellyfish, showcasing the flavors of Kyushu.
The tranquil lighting inside the restaurant, along with semi-private and counter seats, allows for a relaxing atmosphere without worrying about disturbing others. This Wi-Fi-equipped restaurant welcomes solo visitors, and it is beloved by both locals and tourists.
Please come and experience the exquisite dishes made with fresh ingredients directly from Kyushu and warm hospitality.
