Onigiri Gorichan@Osaka Namba ★★

Meaty Rice Ball. The ones with marinated egg yolk are must-try. Save some rice from the rice ball to make chazuke soup with their complimentary soup.  I feel like the one at their original Umeda branch is much better. 400-1,000 yen each. Complimentary cold water. Cash only. Walk-in only.

Mentaiko & Leaf Mustard 400 yen, Egg Yolk in Soy Sauce & Minced Meat 550 yen, Salted Salmon Roe & Salmon 700 yen

Sushi x Tempura Akira Namba Shinsaibashi 寿司×天ぷら 明 難波 心斎橋店@Osaka ★★★

Creative & Fun Izakaya. Nice sake selection. Good quality and got a free drink coupon for my next visit via their Line ordering. Reminds me of Sushi no Torico スシノトリコ@Umeda. I asked the server if the 2 restaurants have any relationships (in Japanese). He said no, but he actually used to work at Sushi no Torico. They gave me 1 hour seating limit.
