    It was delicious! I absolutely love shrimp
    tempura. Hot and freshly fried like this—you won’t find tartar sauce like
    this anywhere else. Shrimp tempura topped with the famous
    tartar sauce from Koubai Diner, a
    Western-style restaurant in
    Minami-Morimachi, Osaka, where people line
    up. The crispy texture of the fried chicken
    and the sauce are so tasty. I could just keep eating bowl
    after bowl—it’s incredibly delicious .
    goes down so well with rice. It’s so
    delicious you’ll want to eat bowl after
    bowl. Western food is like breathing. Koubai-cho, Kita-ku, Osaka City 5-minute
    walk from JR Osaka Tenmangu Station Opened in 2012 Revival Western-style Diner
    Koubai Diner 8:00 AM: Owner arrives for work . Goes shopping for ingredients at Tenma
    Market . Shopping done, heads back to the shop. On busy days, the line stretches all the way to the next
    corner (the convenience store). (About
    100m) The Seven-Eleven staff get asked “Where’s Koubai Diner?” so often
    . Every time the automatic door opens, someone asks “Where’s Koubai Diner?” So , ah, it’s over here! ” So much so that the moment it opens, I say “It’s over
    there, ” and the regular customer who came to
    shop says “No, that’s not it.” Replaced the mop . This makes cleaning fun . People who work nearby, even if they’re in line , give up and leave if it’s slow. But at our place, once you sit down, it
    comes out in about 10 seconds . Well, we try to keep it that way. Just as that person is about to come in, we finish things up like this . Onions. For the soup. Staff) To avoid waste? Put it all in the soup . Lunch orders come in. Skim off the scum. Staff) How long has the shop been open? 2012, I think . We deliberately dressed up like this. We didn’t want a stuffy Western-style
    restaurant, but a place you could just casually walk into
    . A diner is a simple eatery made by converting an
    American train car . That’s how we wanted to create a casual
    eatery in Koubai-cho , so we named it “Koubai Diner.” Sugawara no
    Michizane is enshrined here, but he was very fond of red plum blossoms . (My grandmother) She was born in the
    Meiji era, but was called to Osaka . Back in 1933, when Osaka had no Western
    restaurants , she was summoned and spent her life spreading Western
    cuisine culture there . Since I ate her cooking from childhood , compared to other chefs, it felt like I was just climbing a staircase. I only had to aim for each delicious dish
    she made, one step at a time . I was
    incredibly blessed. I inherited a palate that can’t be
    replaced by anything. That alone is an incredible treasure It’s my daily battle uniform. For evening reservations … Staff: Sixteen reservations for the
    evening? Ah, yes. At night, many guests are from companies
    around here called small and medium
    enterprises . This size is just right . Naturally, 16 people means it’s a
    private booking. Payment for the reservation boxed lunches . Demi-glace sauce . Stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn . Kneading and kneading and kneading. It becomes a beautiful sauce with a glossy
    sheen . Demi-glace sauce complete . Preparing the boxed lunches. Staff) What do you focus on when kneading
    the hamburger patties? From ingredient selection all the way through prep, it’s like climbing a
    staircase . You have to reach the top without
    missing a single step . I always wondered why my grandmother’s
    shrimp tempura tasted different from
    others . I’ve probably coated around 2 million
    shrimp myself now, and I think I’m starting to grasp the
    ideal. I began noticing it after passing the
    million mark . Though I doubt my grandmother ever made
    that many shrimp tempura. She’d drop them in the runny batter, shape them in the thicker batter , seal them in, then coat them with
    breadcrumbs. After shaking off the excess, they’d be
    done. Taking your order . Open at 11:00. Popular No. 1: Shrimp Fry 1210 yen . Handmade Hand-kneaded Hamburger Steak 1100

    tasty. I just can’t stop goes down so well with
    rice. It’s so delicious you’ll want to eat
    bowl after bowl. What I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid is share the things I found delicious with
    everyone. It’s about that shared feeling
    of “This is so good, right?” I want people
    to feel that. I started doing that around age 30 . I opened a restaurant and have been
    doing it ever since . Since rice refills are free , you can
    eat your fill! It’s been about a year or two. Pretty much everything is delicious, but
    the shrimp tempura is the best. Since something different comes out every
    day , you can try almost everything on the
    menu here. It’s the best . (What I ordered was) fried chicken .
    I’ll be back . Off to work this afternoon… Cooking omurice. Old-school omurice for 1100 yen . Pork sauté. It was incredibly delicious . The tartar sauce was amazingly tasty . It’s like a potato salad-style tartar
    sauce, you know? The boss was quiet today. I usually hear something. Maybe he’s tired? 13:00. Minced cutlet for 1430 yen. Crispy minced cutlet. Took a big bite , looking delicious . The rice goes down well… Many people add toppings. This is the extra portion : hamburger
    steak and two shrimp fries. It was incredibly delicious. Tartar sauce. I had the shrimp fry. You don’t get this tartar sauce anywhere
    else . It’s totally different . It’s so good you could eat it by itself. It’s kind of weird to say, but it’s like halfway between potato salad
    and tartar sauce . Probably doesn’t even have potatoes in
    it though . Customer) Master, that was delicious. 15:00 Closing time . We look forward to seeing you again. Staff) How long have you been coming here? I’ve been coming here for about seven or
    eight years . The customers help me get through each
    day . Staff: You talk to customers a lot,
    don’t you? Yeah, talking to customers is what
    keeps me coming back every day. There are so many regulars who chat with me , and that makes me happy . (About the shop’s start) Back in 1933,
    Osaka didn’t have Western cuisine culture It was a time without electricity or
    refrigerators. When you look at this menu, draft beer was 60 sen. Converted, that’s about 2,500
    yen today. How did they serve draft beer back then
    without refrigerators ? The font itself is so stylish . When my grandmother ran her cooking
    classes, students would come saying they’d attended her
    classes . It was kind of heartwarming . Right after finishing school, I joined an
    accounting firm. From there , I was able to transfer to a
    larger firm. I trained at one of Osaka’s top accounting
    firms . from the first train to the last train. It was still that era, the last era, you
    know? Thanks to that, I learned the job quickly . Thanks to that time, I have now. Western cuisine is like breathing . Once it stopped being a struggle, the
    scenery changed. I don’t drink , I don’t smoke, I don’t
    gamble, I don’t chase women , I don’t sing. My 90-something grandmother asked me ,
    “What’s fun about living like that?” This was an exclusive look at Osaka’s
    popular Western-style restaurant with long
    lines . Well, making curry looks easy, but it looks easy and is actually the most
    troublesome thing, you know? I always get the pork cutlet curry. When it comes to curry , I come here. Dry curry! Dry curry. It was super delicious. After all, when customers say say things like , ” This is delicious,” or “That was tasty.
    ” It makes you think , ” I’m glad I do
    this . ” (Kareiya) 8:30 Second-generation owner Mr. Yamashita
    arrives. A long-established, traditional
    European-style curry shop . Beloved since
    1980. Preparing the aged curry for today’s
    service . Adding bouillon (chicken bones) and
    milk. Beef tendon . Beef tendon is tough, right? You have to remove the impurities and
    simmer it . Simmering it down . Staff) What do you mean by “tricky
    curry”? Well, making curry looks simple , but it looks simple and is actually the most
    troublesome . Curry is deep, or rather , that’s something my old man figured out
    and did. My old man was the first owner , the founder . My old man and my mom… Staff) What did they do originally? My dad originally ran a men’s clothing
    store . About 50 years ago, he was doing men’s suits , but he thought, ” Maybe
    suits aren’t working out, ” so he started looking into opening a
    restaurant . Back then, there weren’t any curry shops,
    so he thought , ” Let’s try a curry specialty
    shop .” That was the vibe. My mom was good at making curry . Once we started , it turned out it wasn’t
    that easy . I’d been helping out, but I started
    doing it myself. and it’s been about 13
    years since I started doing it . I’ve been
    working here for about 30 years now , since I was a student . When I was 20 , I went to Tokyo for
    several years to train. It takes about a week to prepare the curry
    roux : carrots, garlic, onions , bay leaves, cayenne pepper , reducing the liquid. What’s tough about it? I don’t really
    think about it much, but it’s definitely when customers say
    “This is delicious!” or “That was tasty!” makes me happy. It makes me feel like all this work was
    worth it . We have a lot of regulars who’ve been
    coming since the old days. I’m really
    grateful for that. special spices. This is pretty physical labor too , requires strength, and you can’t let it lump up when mixing . The curry smell must make your house reek
    when you get home. You put this in the oven and stir it every
    hour . This task is the worst. The curry smell
    really comes out strong, so it gets stuck in your body. You put it in the oven to heat and dry it . After 5 hours in the oven , add
    bouillon, Add plenty of fruit and stir. Skim the scum off the beef tendon . Staff: I think you’re pretty committed
    to making things from scratch, right? Croquettes, hamburgers—we make everything. It’s almost all homemade. Standard menu items. Beef for beef curry . Salt, black pepper. Add it to the curry . Oil splatters, and when it does , if you wipe it right away like this, it gets clean, right ? Everything. Do it after you’ve already done it . Since it rests in the freezer for 3 days , including all the steps, it takes about
    a week. With curry or stew, it’s more like resting in the refrigerator
    . It mellows out compared to right after
    making it. By resting , ketchup, rice finishes cooking. Start the next batch right away . Stir frequently to avoid burning. 9:45 AM Staff arrive. The owner’s wife also arrives. They proceed with opening preparations . Prep chicken
    cutlets and pork cutlets for the lunch
    menu . Prepare the soup. Thicken it with potato starch dissolved in
    water . Add beaten egg and ginger . Soup complete! Today’s daily lunch special is “Simmered
    Hamburger Steak Curry 930 yen. ” Staff: Does the daily special price
    always stay the same? Yes, it’s 930 yen. Today’s special is stewed hamburger steak
    . Staff) That’s a great deal ! Yeah , it is . 11:00 Opening. Beef Curry 750 yen. Beef Brisket Curry 800

    always change it up. Eggplant and ground meat curry. This one
    is popular. It’s a beef curry, but what was that called ? Dry curry! Dry curry. It was super delicious. Staff) How about the spiciness? Just right. Could handle spicier, but this balance is perfect. Homemade pickles. Chicken curry for 1000 yen . Preparing the next batch of rice while prepping ingredients. Red wine . Spicy seasoning. Staff) Always beef curry? No, I try different things . Today I felt like beef curry. Loaded with sauce . One bite. Staff) How does it taste? A comforting flavor. Maybe my favorite taste . They seemed to double-check the price
    because it was so cheap… Thank you~ (The atmosphere inside too) It’s relaxing,
    isn’t it ? Thank you for the meal! I’ve known this place since it opened. Wife) It’s been over 40 years now . We have customers who’ve been coming for
    over 40 years too… Mixed Fry Curry 1400 yen Daily Special Lunch Simmered Hamburger
    Steak Curry 930 yen 12:15 More customers arriving Beef Brisket Curry Large Portion Cheese
    Topping Staff) Everyone’s getting large sizes .
    Did you order them? Everyone’s getting large portions ! We need the
    energy! Staff) Does a large portion mean more rice
    and curry sauce? It does, it does. Of course. About 1.5 times more . Staff) Is there anything bigger than a
    large portion ? If someone asks, we’ll do it. Occasionally. Like extra sauce … just keep piling it on… Mixed Fry Curry with Beef Tendons and
    Fried Egg Topping. That irresistible craving kind of flavor. For European-style curry, this place is
    the best. Well-balanced and easy to eat . Staff) I think I could eat quite a lot ,
    but I could probably eat a bit more, haha . I think it started as a home-style curry
    with a bit more attention to detail. The
    original was a curry you could eat every day, a curry
    you never get tired of. That’s the European-style curry . The beef curry is the core, you know? And they’ve definitely kept that
    going. You can see why it’s loved for so long.
    That was our close-up look at an Osaka
    curry shop . It’s the best! Super delicious , fluffy hamburgers ! Customers flock for these
    handmade hamburgers with eggs. I really felt the tenderness sets them
    apart. Melt-in-your-mouth hamburgers you won’t find anywhere else.
    With a fluffy texture , you can enjoy a variety of flavors in
    your mouth . Staff) Do you like hamburgers? I hate them Located in Ota Shinmachi, Yao City, Osaka
    Prefecture . 13-minute walk from Yao
    Minami Station on the Tanimachi Subway
    Line . It’s just sitting there in the
    industrial area… Opened in 2015 . Handmade Hamburger Steak
    with Egg. Owner Hattori-san arrives for work. His right-hand man , Imamura-san . Preparing the miso soup for the lunch
    menu . Staff) How many years has the shop been
    in business? It will be 10 years this September . We opened in September, but I
    had a previous job, so I only joined around the start of the
    year . So initially, it was just the manager alone, starting
    the shop with part-time staff . We
    originally planned to work together, but
    due to circumstances at his previous job,
    the timing didn’t work out . He used to work at a teppanyaki
    restaurant, and after that , he also
    gained experience as a floor staff member . Here, since it’s a small shop , it’s like cooking while taking customer
    orders and carrying things around. Surprising, right ? Staff) I was shocked . Like, what is this place? Staff) It’s pretty close to the nearest
    station, Yao-Minami Station, right ? Well, even though it’s close, it’s still
    about a 15-minute walk . So , I guess not many people walk here. Well, some do, but… So, for example, if someone orders something like a huge hamburger steak… like the 450g one yesterday … Staff) People actually order those ? Like 600g hamburgers? We can make them bigger in 50g increments. We used to get these big-eater
    championship types all the time. One guy ate 1.8kg by himself. We make tomato sauce in this pot. We portion out about 70-80% of
    this (small) pot’s capacity , vacuum-seal it , and store it. When we need it, we just reheat it. We make the hamburger patty mixture . We chill the ground meat. We develop the meat’s natural stickiness
    for binding . We combine the ground meat. The idea is that if it melts , the flavor
    escapes . In that sense, it works better in winter
    , It’s cold, so in summer , just leaving it out makes it melt and melt and melt. Not just
    the fat, but the lean meat too. Staff) How many kilos is this? Just the ground beef is about 3 kilos. Staff) Isn’t this just onions ? We use two types of onions, sautéed for
    different lengths of time , plus garlic , breadcrumbs, soybean flour… Back in the day , we never knew if
    customers would come or not . So we’d prepare it in these containers and
    cook it . Gradually, more customers started
    coming. Now we have to make about three batches at
    once just to keep up. To achieve deep umami and rich flavor , we
    use over 23 kinds of spices, vegetables,
    and fruits. Nutmeg, white pepper. Combining it with the mince. I want you to feel the texture of the
    mince so I mix it just enough without
    overworking it . I really don’t want to crush the mince
    too much . Staff: Is this one batch? This is one batch. We make at least two batches a day . If you count by number… about 45 servings. And we definitely don’t want to use it
    right away . We want to let it rest for about half a
    day to let the flavors meld . So even if we make it in the morning, we’d
    use it at night , or maybe later in the lunch service . Right after mixing, the flavors are
    sharp , or rather, each ingredient asserts
    itself strongly. We want everyone to eat it after the
    flavors have blended and become harmonious . Staff) Is that quite a long time? About two years. Open at 11:00. Handmade Hamburger Steak 150g with Tomato

Staff) What did you order? Hamburger steak and garlic rice. Both were delicious! I’ll be back! Staff: Do you like hamburgers? I hate them . You take a chunk of meat, break it apart
    , then put it back together, right ? As a kid, I just didn’t get the point . It wasn’t something I thought about
    after becoming a chef. If we’re going to process it anyway, we aim for it to be soft and fluffy .
    Basically, our concept is to create a
    texture you wouldn’t expect from meat
    while still letting the meat flavor shine
    through . It was insanely delicious! I’ve been here a few times, but this was
    my first time! I had the hamburger steak with garlic
    sauce and got a rice refill. It was delicious . I totally agree . I thought the chopsticks were different. They looked like swords. It was so soft. It was delicious! Really delicious! A hamburger steak you won’t find anywhere
    else . With that fluffy texture , you can enjoy all kinds of flavors in
    your mouth . I think it’s great that there are
    various styles , but what we wanted to create was that kind of
    hamburger steak. We thought about everything from the
    mixing method to the cooking method, and
    the ingredients we use . Staff: Was there a particular reason you
    got involved in this line of work? Both me and Manager Hattori met working
    part-time in a restaurant kitchen . We’ve known each other since we were
    students , nearly 20 or 30 years now . We did other jobs separately at times, but somehow we ended up here. After the lunch service ends… 16:54 Staff return to the shop . Preparing cold water. 17:00 Service resumes. Handmade Hamburger Steak 150g 1000 yen

    shrimp tempura . It’s super delicious.
    Fluffy . It’s 150g, but I think we could
    easily go up in grams . Hamburg steak for
    takeout Staff: Is this white? White. Chicken is white, beef is red. It’s about whether the meat looks whitish
    or reddish . We differentiate based on
    that. It’s still not enough. A bit restrained . Because of age . Staff: How’s the flavor? It’s delicious. Staff) Do you come to the restaurant
    often? It’s my first time. About the fourth or fifth time . I usually only order the hamburger steak
    set, but today I tried the chicken sauté for the
    first time . Oyster fry . Cooking rice . 18:35 . Fully booked. Regular customers arrive. I’ve had this before. It was super delicious . Chiyomusubi . Staff) Are you quite particular about
    sake? Yeah, the president of the sake company we work
    with now is an amazing sake connoisseur. We have him select the sake for us and
    then purchase it. Red Snapper Fry the scales . Served as a sashimi platter . Sear with a torch . Refill the sake . Firefly squid with shiso leaves. Bonito with garlic. Cover with aluminum foil. Cook through
    with residual heat . Plate and complete. One plate for two people. Three young men came in. Photo time . Took a bite of the hamburger steak. I thought the tenderness really stood out
    from others. The flavor of the ingredients came
    through, and it was truly delicious. Staff: The shrimp tempura also looks
    different from others. It’s split open along the back . Staff: Why do you split it open? That’s how most shrimp fry used to be
    done. The manager says it tastes better that
    way. Opening the shrimp fry creates a better balance between the
    crispiness of the batter and how the meat
    cooks through . Oysters. Oysters with white wine. Staff) What did you order today? Today, hamburger steak , oysters, and buttered scallops . Staff) How’s the taste? Delicious. There are various sauces, like garlic
    sauce , grated ponzu, or tomato sauce. You can enjoy the variety with those . Wagyu sirloin and skirt steak. We’ll make them into steaks . Vegetables roasted in the oven. A wide range of ages enjoy their meals. Staff) Is it different from other
    hamburger steaks? Juicy. Melt-in-your-mouth. A group of four arrives. They order the grated hamburger steak. A bite of the hamburger steak . Next, they enjoy it with a raw egg yolk. Another bite. It’s totally different, right? Super tender, not dense at all. The sashimi arrives too. Staff) How’s the fish? It’s delicious . This isn’t just a hamburger steak place , is it? Everything is delicious here,
    even the steak. The thickness is just incredible . Staff) How did you like the taste? Absolutely outstanding. We come every time. Staff: Do you come often? Yeah, yeah . Staff: What was the most delicious? The sake. Finding sake that pairs with steak was the
    best. I already knew the steak was delicious. I used to order wine, but someone recommended sake. I ended up drinking wine with the meat, but it was my first time trying sake that
    actually pairs with meat. The hamburger steak was delicious, so it would be even better if I came at night . They prepare for the next day at night
    too . Just hoping it turns out delicious .
    Chanting “moe moe kyun kyun” in my heart .
    The person who ate 1. There was this monster-like person who ate 1.8kg. Someone else ate 1.8kg with beer
    and rice . Staff: Did you finish it all? No, I could still eat more . Pressing down on the hamburger helps it cook through easier. That’s why amateurs do it (pressing the
    center) . I don’t really do that much because I can tell if it’s cooked through . 21: 42 I deliberately use these kinds of things. If you use a nice, new one, you’ll rub too hard. So I intentionally use ones that are greasy
    and won’t get clean . Polishing them that way leaves oil on the iron plate . Then tomorrow morning it’s just right. 23:26 Good work today. We’ll be here tomorrow too. Once you come, you get hooked . It’s a
    shop loved by repeat customers. Staff) How many times have you been to the
    shop? Probably around 50 times. It’s delicious. So tasty you’ll want multiple bowls of
    rice . Juicy and delicious, highly recommended. Komatsubara-cho, Kita-ku, Osaka City . Osaka Underground Shopping Arcade . JR,

    this massive terminal. Whity. Established 14 years ago . Osaka Tonteki.
    Whity Umeda. Part of the Grill RON chain famous for
    huge lines at Hankyu 3rd Street. Popular
    for tender tonteki . 8: 52 Prep has already started . We begin with vegetable prep: mizuna
    greens , scallions for the miso soup ,
    lemons for the fried items, and garlic . I think this will all be gone by the end
    of the day. These are the sides for the tonteki. Everything is deep-fried . A huge amount of garlic gets fried. Staff) Osaka Tonteki has quite a few shops
    in Umeda, right ? Two shops in Umeda. If it’s under the Osaka Tonteki name, then
    two shops . Plus one shop in Namba. This is boiled pasta for takeout. Staff) Is the breadcrumb for tonkatsu? Tonkatsu, shrimp fry, marinated skewers. Starting with tonkatsu prep, we coat the thick pork patties thoroughly with
    breadcrumbs . Preparing the marinated skewers . Use both hands to coat them firmly with
    breadcrumbs . Next, the shrimp fry. Not many places do it with both hands, I
    guess. This is our standard method . We stick to
    it strictly . For the coating technique: sandwich it, coat it , rotate it 90 degrees to shape it and carry it carefully to avoid losing
    breadcrumbs . Especially with seafood like shrimp or
    fish fry—we don’t do fish fry here , but with fish fry—moisture tends to seep out
    so you need to add a bit more breadcrumbs
    when storing them. Otherwise, they turn black when fried at the end . The moisture seeps in and turns them black . To prevent that, we
    store them with a bit extra breadcrumbs. Preparing hamburg patties . Hamburger meat made at our own factory . We shape them one by one. Garlic is fried continuously before
    opening. Staff) In terms of customer numbers , how
    many come in a day? Weekends are around 330 , weekdays between 280 and 300 . Staff: What was your busiest day ever ?
    How many customers? Around 370. Once we hit over 300 , we lose track . Weekends and holidays
    have non-stop peak times . Preparing our in-house macaroni salad for
    sides. Preparing takeout orders . Washing rice. (Daily rice consumption) Weekdays: about
    44kg. Weekends/holidays: over 50kg. Preparing for the line. About 60% of customers order 200g or 300g
    Tonteki. Other shops might be 65-70%. Shops serving Tonteki typically start with raw meat, using the standard
    method from its birthplace, Yokkaichi, Mie
    Prefecture (where it originated). They start by stir-frying in a wok . Since it’s a Tonteki product , that method
    takes over 10 minutes. At our place, just the Tonteki itself takes only 3 minutes . It’s fully cooked through. We sear it to add a crust, coat it in
    sauce, pour sauce over it, and serve. That way, customers can be seated quickly. Preparing steadily for the 11:00 opening . 20 seats total (Counter: 8 seats,
    Tables: 12 seats) 10:57 Customers waiting before opening Staff: Do you usually come to the
    restaurant? Occasionally, maybe once a month. When I have some errands nearby . Staff: What do you usually order? The Tonteki Tamago Set (¥1,050~), I guess. This big one . Staff: Do you always get that? I guess I get the Tonberg more often. Staff) Tonkatsu or Tonberg? The flavor is solid, and I think the price is pretty reasonable
    too. It’s not crazy expensive, so for this
    amount… Taking orders before opening. Starting cooking before opening. 11:00 Opening. Tonteki Set Meal 200g 1150 yen . Tonkatsu

    Eating it together gives a bold, strong
    flavor . Staff: How was the taste? Oh my, it was absolutely exquisite! The meat is so tender . You can choose whether to add garlic or
    not , but I definitely recommend it . Staff) Did you enjoy the garlic? It was delicious. Staff) How did you hear about us? My workplace is nearby, so I always pass
    by . I saw the line forming, and since it looked a bit less crowded
    today, I thought I’d give it a try . Originally , our starting point was a place called
    Steak RON in Kitashinchi . Staff) I see. So it started as a steakhouse. The founder
    created RON there , then opened a Western-style
    restaurant near Hankyu Sanbangai. As they expanded the Western-style
    restaurants, they decided to try different
    genres, which is how they got into tonkatsu. The line starts forming . Staff) What did you order? I had the A Set—the one with fried shrimp,
    tonkatsu, and hamburger steak . I wanted to have like three bowls of
    rice, but I had work later so I held back to two . The flavor is so intense , it makes you
    want to eat bowl after bowl of rice. If I didn’t have work, I probably would’ve
    had two more. I’d have eaten like four bowls total. It
    was insanely delicious . Staff) What did you order? The Tonteki Set Meal. It was delicious. Staff) Do you come to the restaurant
    often? Yeah, I come pretty regularly. Thick meat is tough to chew , so I order the thin cuts because they’re
    delicious . Regular customer arrives . Order for the
    Japanese-style Tonteki Set Meal: no
    macaroni, no dressing , no fat. Sounds like someone who knows the place
    inside out . This is the usual Japanese-style Tonteki
    (large), right? When I order this , cutting the meat is a
    pain, so I ask them to cut it for me. I told the
    staff, and they’re nice people, so it’s great when they cut it for me . Alright, let’s dig in! It’s cooked through, but it still has that
    nice raw texture . It’s tender. Really tender . Staff: How many times have
    you been to the shop? Probably over 50
    times. There was a period I was really hooked and
    came about 10 times a week . Lunch every day and dinner quite often
    too . Staff: Do you always get the Tonteki? The hamburg steak is delicious too. I
    sometimes have that as well. Plus, they have various tonkatsu options and
    lots of other things. I’d recommend it for families too. Constantly handling four frying pans at
    once . The place stays packed… 11: 50. Using a little free time to prepare the

    with rice . Staff: What did you order? The Tonton Set. It was delicious, as always . No doubt about it. The sauce is quite sweet and savory , kind of addictive. It’s also filling, so tasty. I got a refill. I ate too much. Recommended, the Tonton. Of course, the Tonberg is also delicious . It’s juicy and tasty, so recommended. Staff) What do you like about the
    restaurant? I guess it’s the flavor and the satisfying
    feel, right? The volume, yeah. You can get a
    rice refill. One male customer ordered the Tonton Set. It comes with Tonteki and hamburger steak . It’s incredibly delicious . He looks satisfied eating the Tonteki . I don’t come to this branch very often, but I go to other ones too. It feels like a bit of a treat . Staff) What did you order today? I got the Tonteki Set with scrambled eggs. It’s delicious . The sauce makes me want to eat tons of
    rice. It goes great with plain rice. You can really dig in . The limited-time Yangnyeom Tonteki with its addictive spicy-sweet sauce pairs
    perfectly with the Tonteki . Yangnyeom Tonteki. It was a line-forming shop that got

    its old-world charm . Over 100 years of
    history . 9:16 AM . The owner arrives for work . The owner’s wife assembles the stall. Staff) Does the number of customers change
    depending on whether it’s a warm day or a
    cold day ? About 90% are regulars, so it doesn’t
    really matter, but foot traffic definitely changes. Staff) Is this stall the same? It’s empty now, but when we get busy, the owner above lets us use it . The stall next door also prepares to
    open. The owner’s wife, who was drinking next
    door before work , joins the preparations . Staff) Highballs for 200 yen is way too
    cheap, right? Since this used to be a shuttered shopping
    district, we were desperate to revitalize it . We
    kept a close eye on things, so we priced things a bit lower . That’s why in the early days , we only sold two drinks a day for 400 yen. It was hell. Two people working for 400 yen . Staff) How many do you sell now? We sell about 200 cups now. Lighting the grill . Staff) What kind of food do you make on
    the grill? The grill is for hamburgers and preparing
    things like chashu . Well, Wagyu beef is the main thing . We make sure to stock up quite a bit for
    both inbound tourists and regulars .
    (Within the shopping district) Just our shop alone spends about 1 million
    yen a year at the market . Beer for the wife. The shops lined up next door . “Idol Food

    people around. Staff) Isn’t a beer first thing in the
    morning pretty great? It really is the best. You get that nice
    buzz. It’s not morning coffee, it’s morning beer . Staff) Is this pretty much routine now? Sometimes I drink here, but other times I grab breakfast over in
    Nishinari before coming. Staff) Like a second bar? Yeah. They tell me to get to work , but since they know I’m in charge of
    drinking , no one says I drink too much. They actually ask if I’m drinking enough today. The
    owner goes out to buy supplies and does
    some cleaning around the market area . He
    goes around the neighborhood. Orders four items at the bakery. His wife watches the stove in the meantime . Staff) Is the chashu for ramen or…? We serve it as chashu . We sear it, then cook it at a low
    temperature . We also order from Sakamoto, the butcher
    shop . We always get the triangular belly and
    pork belly here . We do a thorough cleaning too . We actively communicate with others
    working in the same shopping district . The bread the owner ordered arrives . We buy it for 110 yen and sell it for
    100 yen . People ask, “Why ?” Staff) Do you get most ingredients from
    the market? Everything we can get at the market, we
    get at the market. For everything else, we have no choice but
    to buy elsewhere . Even cups, plates, and things used at
    the stall , we get them from here too. The owner returns to the stall. A fragrant aroma spreads. He puts the cooked chashu into
    heat-resistant bags. He does the low-temperature cooking . He buys additional vegetables . Two daikon
    radishes and two portions of chopped green
    onions . Staff) Does the owner often come
    shopping? Oh yes, often . All sorts of things . Her presents too .

    chewy and bursting with umami . The
    regulars happily stuff their faces . This

    hang out . You make friends, People who drink a lot. They’re constantly exchanging info
    like, “Is there a good spot somewhere? ” Even though everyone’s from different
    areas, genders, and ages, they gather like that to share info . Hamburger orders come in. Grill them just like hamburg
    steaks . Perfectly cooked. Sandwich them in bread bought from the
    shopping street. Drizzle on the sauce for flavor . 15: 00 Toast! The chashu prepared this morning is slowly grilled. Sauce is applied . Salt and pepper are added, topped with

    we rent a shop for prep work. Preparing daikon radish. Daikon bought at the shopping street in
    the morning. Carefully trimming the edges . Enough for two daikon radishes . Staff) Did you originally work in the
    food service industry? I’ve been running my own places since my
    early twenties. Only worked as a salaryman for three
    years. Opened quite a few shops over the years. Took a huge hit from COVID . Had shops in places like Umeda too, but it was really tough. Staff) What was the trigger for starting
    Stand Ranran ? They were recruiting to revitalize this
    shuttered shopping street market . We
    applied, and apparently about 90 others applied too. They hired us, this silly food stall. From there, we worked with the organizers
    on how to revitalize it . Of course, even after going home, I
    talked about nothing else with my wife. We started with a toast, just on a whim
    and momentum . Surprisingly, the response was great . From there, Instagrammers, YouTubers,
    and customers just exploded from there . The beautifully marbled pork belly we
    sourced that morning ! We hit peak rush . The shop owner’s daughter enjoys it with
    the customers . Gradually, the stalls start packing up. We also begin our cleanup. The real charm is at night. Lights out at 6:50 PM. Let’s go with LOVE I LOVE YOU in our
    hearts . Cheers! The wife heads home first. We pack up all the chairs and tables. It’s different from a regular food stall,
    you know? Regular stalls don’t have a kitchen. Basically, having this setup is a huge
    help. The whole scene changes, right ? Honestly , it’d be great if we could
    stay open until night, but well, it’s still too early. No one
    passes by at this hour. It was a wonderful shop, loved by the town
    and customers , helping liven up the
    shopping district . Minna no Shokudo Toppan (Everyone’s

    hospitalized . He never showed any signs of being tired
    or struggling. He was just cool like that. He hardly ever
    cooked at home . He’d eat Mom’s cooking and say it was
    delicious, delicious. Just once, for lunch, Dad made fried rice
    for us. You know, homes don’t usually have that
    many ingredients, right? He made it with
    just eggs and green onions. He didn’t even add much seasoning. When I ate it , I thought, “Damn, this is
    good!” I realized fried rice could taste this
    amazing. I remember that moment vividly. Since my dad and brother taught me, I
    figured I should get more serious about it . I started making bento boxes, expanded
    the menu, and did all sorts of things. Then
    customers started coming in more often . It was a diner near the port , run by a
    shopkeeper influenced by his family .
