三千円で豪華晩酌!? 大阪激安商店街で酒の肴探しに挑戦！
Komagawa Shopping Street is known as Osaka’s most affordable shopping street. This project aims to see how many luxurious drinking snacks we can gather for just 3,000 yen at Komagawa Shopping Street, a friend of the common people. Not only are they cheap, but they’re also packed with delicious food . How many delicious items can we gather here? In the second half of the project, we’ll enjoy some drinks at home with the snacks we’ve purchased. Hello, I’m Retro Man. This is the main entrance to Komagawa Shopping Street, Osaka’s most affordable shopping street. I thought that for 3,000 yen, we could gather some pretty luxurious ingredients. However, this time, I limited myself to ingredients that don’t require cooking, or that only require heating in the microwave . I’ll be focusing on ingredients for accompaniments. However, these are the easiest and most convenient options, which is great for drinkers . Komagawa Shopping Street isn’t just cheap. It’s also full of unique and interesting shops. Take this shop, for example. What kind of shop do you think it is? It’s an unmanned shop selling bento boxes and side dishes. You pick up the items and put your money in the coin box. There were delicious, filling bento boxes lined up for just 500 yen. Look at these delicious bento boxes. There are other unmanned shops, too. This secondhand clothing shop is one example. It’s a business that’s only possible because of the trust it has with the local residents. And Komagawa is, above all, incredibly cheap. It’s great. This Showa-era, extremely cheap scene. [Music] This is a recycle shop, and the items on display are interesting. As you’d expect from Osaka, they were selling Hanshin Tigers merchandise. It’s nostalgic. There was also a specialty shop for plastic models. [Music] Now, let’s go look for some snacks to go with our drinks on the south side of the shopping arcade. There’s a famous fried food shop near the entrance, but it wasn’t open today . Let’s go further. I found a takeout-only sushi restaurant. There were quite a few customers there. It must be popular. I’ll take a look. There were a variety of sushi and bento boxes lined up. Everything looks delicious and reasonably priced. The chirashi sushi looked good, but I found the perfect snack to go with my sake. This is the perfect sushi set to pair with sake. I have sake and chuhai at home this time, so I’m going to buy some snacks to go with each. [Music] I guessed the sake, so I bought some. Next, I’ll look for some snacks to go with my chuhai. I can see the butcher and chicken shops. These are croquettes and fried chicken. This is Moritaya Meat. Their fried foods look absolutely delicious. [Music] The meat looks delicious, but today they’re serving fried food. They have the usual items: croquettes, kushikatsu, fries, and fried shrimp. But they’re all surprisingly priced. Kushikatsu [Music] Every skewer is under 100 yen. I bought the best beef kushikatsu. There’s a chicken shop across the street. This one is here. They have a wide selection of side dishes, too. [Music] As you’d expect from a specialty store. They have rare cuts of meat. They also had a wide selection of prepared foods. They were also reasonably priced, with tulips costing just 86 yen including tax. I bought some tulips and chicken skin. Next, I went to a fish shop. The one I’m going to is a long-established establishment. It’s a traditional fish shop. It’s called Uomata. It’s been in business for 90 years. While these kinds of places are becoming less common, you can get fresh fish here. They have mackerel that’s good enough for kizu-zushi. Freshness is key when it comes to sashimi, after all. The luxurious two-item platter is reasonably priced. Yes. There’s also a Uomata prepared foods store nearby. The tempura and simmered fish looked delicious. [Music] Next, I heard about a delicious Chinese restaurant, so I headed there. It goes well with Chinese food, beer, and chuhai. This is it. It’s a takeout-only Chinese restaurant. I wonder if I should call it Ryufuku. They’re apparently famous for their pork buns, but they also have a variety of other items. I had my favorite shumai. [Music] [Music] [Music] I left the main street and came to 5th Avenue. It’s a rundown street. I found a delicious pickle shop here. [Music] Yes. Come in. Come in. [Music] That’s a nostalgic market call. This area still has a scene reminiscent of the markets of the Showa era. [Music] The shop is called Komagawa Tsukemono, and they have a variety of pickles. [Music] Here I was given some seasonal pickled eggplant and Chinese cabbage. [Music] I lost 30 yen, and water and Chinese cabbage came to 300 yen. This area still retains the atmosphere of a good old downtown shopping street. [Music] I’d nearly spent 3,000 yen, so I finished my search for snacks to go with my drinks. I was getting hungry, so I looked for a place to eat lunch. A kushikatsu place looked delicious. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go home after drinking today, so I gave up. This cheap Chinese restaurant looked delicious. Unfortunately, I gave up on the gyoza and beer. I also gave up on the steak, wine, hamburger, and draft beer. I found it. A sake shop. I’ll come again tonight. This restaurant is located at the exit of the shopping street. It’s a long-established, old-fashioned diner. The noren curtain and the display window are the epitome of Showa-era retro. The menu also evokes a nostalgic feeling. It’s Narikoma-ya, a famous restaurant in Komagawa. The interior is the same as the exterior. [Music] This is the menu for a popular diner. Reasonably priced. Kitsune udon for 500 yen. Katsu curry for 850 yen. It’s cheap. I ordered the shrimp tempura bowl. It was as delicious as it looked. There’s nothing bad in this retro restaurant. Leaving Narikoma-ya, you’re already at the north exit of the shopping arcade. This is the north entrance to Komagawa Shopping Arcade. Cross the street and you’ll find Komagawa Nakano Subway Station. From here, you can travel to Tennoji and Umeda without changing trains. These are the foods I bought today. They all look delicious. A sushi and ingredient set. It includes seven other ingredients in addition to sushi. Perfect with sake. Tamagoyaki. Five pieces of nigiri sushi [music] . A perfect accompaniment to kinpira simmered food . These are flounder and tuna sashimi I bought at Uomatsu. They’re incredibly fresh. I arranged the shumai I bought at Ryufuku on a plate. They smelled amazing when reflected on the plate. But 10 pieces for 400 yen. 40 yen each. Amazing prices. I also arranged the tulips and chicken skin I bought at Torisei on a plate. Visually, the tulips are better than the fried chicken. I arranged the beef skewers I bought at Moritaya on a plate. Moritaya’s fries are fried right in front of you when you order and served piping hot. They would go well with beer or chuhai. They’re 90 yen each. The pickles are just right as a palate cleanser. They’re the perfect snack to go with sake. I arranged the food I bought on the table. By the way, did it come out under 3000 yen ? What’s the total? 2906 yen. Challenge successful. Let’s eat. [Music] Cheers. [Music] Hooray for drinking at home. Ah, delicious. Well, everyone, take a look at this. And all this is only 3000 yen. Well, alcohol is a different story, but if you add alcohol, I drink a lot, and 3000 yen is not enough. But it’s amazing. This is like sushi. Japanese style. This is sashimi and pickles. It would be even better with sake. Beer. I’ll have a chuhai. It looks delicious. [Music] Oh, it’s delicious. This isn’t even 100 yen. Maybe 88 yen. At this chicken shop it was a little over 400 yen, I think? Beef skewers are 450 yen, and this is 500? Maybe 558 yen? Sashimi is 700 yen. This is the most expensive. Two kinds of pickles are 300 yen. That was about 2,980 yen. Isn’t it amazing? It smelled delicious. This is beef skewers, not pork. Whether 3000 yen is a good price or not is a matter of personal taste, so opinions will differ . If you decide what alcohol you’re going to drink, you can narrow down the types of snacks you have, so it would probably be a little cheaper. I also think 3000 yen was a bit too much. However, the reason I overpaid is that prices in Komagawa Shopping Street were just too cheap. But for 3,000 yen, I had a pretty fun day. This time, I set a condition and tried to find some snacks to go with my drinks at the super cheap Komaga River Shopping Arcade. Hey, drinking at home is pretty popular these days, but it’s actually a Japanese culture that’s been around for ages. My father used to invite his friends over for drinking parties whenever he had the chance. I’m drinking alone today, but usually I invite friends over and we all have a great time drinking . Next time, I’ll try it for 3,000 yen, including the drinks. Drinking at home is the best. See you next time. [Music]
