“Wadaya Osaka Ohatsutenjin Store”

I had dinner at “Wadaya Osaka Ohatsutenjin Store”, an aged pork shabu-shabu and creative Japanese cuisine restaurant located in Ohatsutenjin.

Beginning with aged pork shabu-shabu, this is a restaurant where you can enjoy a variety of creative Japanese cuisine. They offer various dishes including a la carte and course meals for a great value.
Today, I had their “Special Course Meal” for regular customers put together for me, and I greatly enjoyed their wonderful food!

After having some bonito flakes freshly shaved onto it right in front of me, I take a bite…

Here, Nagano Prefecture’s very huge “Yuki Buta” aged pork makes an appearance!
It seems they will grill it for me right here, now!
And after waiting for a while…

With the surface lightly burnt, it turned into a very delicious-smelling piece of meat!
I had it sliced and…

Now we have a wonderful aged pork steak!
Only the surface was burnt, the inside was mostly still rare!

I take a slice and…

Woooooow, delicioooooouuuus!!
The soft and wonderfully juicy meat was so rich in flavor, I was actually surprised!
