A shop with poor value for money, located under the Tokyu overpass, about halfway between Musashikosugi and Shinmaruko. An oden shop? ...There are few types of oden. A skewered restaurant? ...There aren't that many types. An izakaya that also serves oden and skewers...I guess. The oden soup stock is half-baked...If it's Kansai style, I'd like a little more gentle sweetness. It's a shame that the soup stock wasn't soaked into the ingredients very well. The skewers have a strong salty taste, so the accompanying cabbage (with sesame oil) goes well. All-you-can-eat bonito flakes...I couldn't feel the aroma or flavor, and it didn't seem like bonito flakes. Perhaps because I had been recommended to this place as a delicious oden restaurant, I was a little disappointed in my expectations as a Kansai person who grew up taking delicious dashi soup for granted. sorry. If you think of it as a typical izakaya, you'll think it's a delicious restaurant. The store is a little small, but it's new and clean, and they give you warm cloth towels when you come in. They are not disposable chopsticks, so if you are concerned about them, please bring your own chopsticks. (If you ask the store, they may also have disposable chopsticks, but this is unconfirmed.) Garigari-kun lemon sour, a whole Garigari-kun was stuck in it lol

Oden was delicious. 700 yen for beer is too expensive. It's good that there are many types of lemon sour, but there is too much ice and the quantity is small. The meat skewers are small despite the good price. I was told that the chawanmushi would take a long time to come out, but after a long wait, I was told that I didn't need to pay because the egg had not set. I was surprised that something was released in such an incomplete state.

Visited 6/6/2023 All the food was delicious, but the oden was especially delicious! The selling point seems to be the all-you-can-eat katsuobushi, but not all foods go well with katsuobushi, so I wasn't able to use it enough to get a second helping. I would like a guide on which one is recommended to put on lol It was my first time to enter a series of fashionable shops lined up under the guard, and I was glad that the prices were reasonable. This time it cost just under 30,000 yen for 7 people.

I visited on Sunday afternoon. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was nice, and I was satisfied. There were so many types of lemon sour.
