Starts Right After This
It's the Deluxe.
Yes, I know the location so it's okay.
Yes. Understood.
Our appointment's changed from 1 pm to 2 pm, right?
Alright, got it.
Yes... I'll kill time by eating lunch.
Okay...
Yes, later then. See you.
So here we are, Osaka, which I hadn't visited for a long time.
Kushikatsu
Kushikatsu Doteyaki
Well, what shall we eat?
Mister! How 'bout some Kushikatsu*!
*Kushikatsu = deep fried pork and negi on skewers
*Doteyaki = beef sinew stewed in miso and mirin
Come... try it! We also have Doteyaki*!
Hey now, just when you need a boat to cross...
Ookini (Thank you) !
Folks who come from outside git greeted with "Please try our Kushikatsu!", ain't it?
Oh, excuse me for a moment.
Hello? What's up?
What?
But ten seconds ago, didn't you just say it was changed to 2 pm...
No, no... Eh~!
It's not that I can't...
Oh... then I'll go over there.
Sorry, there's been a slight urgent business...
Ain't that a bit harsh? Ya were gorna eat, ain'tcha?
No, no, I do really want to eat but...
Just scarf em in a hurry. Eat and run!
No, I'm really sorry.
Wait, wait...!
No, no...
No no, don't go...!
Felt like I tore off a part of me, and left it behind...
It can't be helped... It's work first before indulging myself with food.
MATSUSHIGE YUTAKA
INOGASHIRA GORO
Yeah, it's been so long since I've been to a shop that's fascinating as this
Excuse me~
Maybe it's ok to drink on a night like this
WABI-SABI SUBS PRESENTS
KODOKU NO GURUME
Ep. 1: "Okonomiyaki Set Meal and Plain Kushikatsu of Bishoen, Osaka Prefecture"
Regardless of time or society...
When someone indulges in satisfying his hunger...
...he will become selfish...
...and liberated for a moment.
Without being disturbed by anyone...
...to eat freely is an act of aloofness.
This act is the best comfort given...
...equally to every man.

Just one station away from Tennoji Station, but it seems the atmosphere here is very different.
Is this the way?
I wonder if this appearance hasn't changed for a long time.
Kansai Real Estate Sales
From Trading to Remodeling
So fer this living room...
...in our widest type of model house...
I want it to have a ka-pow! type of high-class interior.
Makes one reckon, "Maybe this a bit showy?" that fine with ya?
Yes, but I'm not really a contractor, is that okay with you?
When it comes to important work, it's you whom I turn to, don't I?
I'm countin' on ya.
If I don't sell these houses, Imma gonna git axed.
All right. I will help you.
Whatchu laughin' at?
You've really mastered the Kansai dialect.
Well, y'know how 'tis, speaking standard Japanese while working at this place can be kinda...
"When in Rome", right?
Yeah!
When the wife goes buyin' in the shoppin' district, she asks fer discounts like a demon.
You mean that Sashiko-san?
Yeah.
Even I eat Okonomiyaki as a side with rice, y'know.
It's true!
It's pretty cool, y'know!
No, I don't think I'd like that.
Whatchu saying, man?
That's purdy normal around 'ere.
That's impossible for me.
I also eat Takoyaki with rice.
No way, no way.
Why don't you eat Takoyaki with rice?
The topic is getting weird.
No wait, when you eat Takoyaki...
That guy who was born in Hokkaido is now a true-blue Osakan.
Powerful to begin with, the push factor of this place has become even much stronger.
As a city you're really something, Osaka.
Your voice is loud and boisterous.
You got huge signboards everywhere.
KUSHIKATSU
Kushikatsu
The Flavor We Are Proud of
I remembered.
I'm... hungry.
Imma have to look fer a shop.
I wondered if I ate takoyaki...
...the last time I visited Osaka?
Okonomiyaki Yakisoba Teppanyaki
AMAKARAYA
Hey now...
Okonomiyaki.
Along with Takoyaki, Osaka flour-based dishes are famous in the world.
This "no-frills" dignity is as large as life.
On their rustling sign curtain, it says, "Elegant Deliciousness"
I'm sold.
Welcome.
Can I sit here?
Yep, go ahead.
Here's some water.
The hot towels are over there.
Okay.
Red and white towels.
Which one should I get? The red, I guess.
Reserved Seat
This shop gives off "years-of-experience" vibe.
Feels nostalgic even though it's my first time here.
This is a genuine shop.
"Pork and Egg, Squid and Egg, Pork and Squid"*...
*Kinds of Okonomiyaki being offered
*Countryside or Hometown
"Inaka*-yaki"?
No idea what that is.
He uses a dustpan type of spatula to carry it.
Here's your Pork and Egg.
Pork and Egg looks good.
Shall I take the high road instead of venturing into the unknown?
Thank you for waiting. Here's your set mea~l.
Enjoy.
Hey now, suddenly it came into view.
They really DO eat Okonomiyaki as a side with rice.
I wonder how that goes inside the mouth?
Well, I chose to try this type of shop.
Shall we dive into this Osakan signature taste?
Excuse me, I'd like Pork and Egg Okonomiyaki Set Meal please.
Pork and Egg Set Meal, right?
I ordered it in the end.
They don't mix them all first before frying, huh?
It's like concealing the cabbage with the pork belly.
Didja see last night's boxing?
Too bad he lost, innit?
Ya feel sorry for him at all? With dat lousy performance.
Cuz I took up boxing so I know a thing or two.
Really?
Yeah.
That's the first time I heard it.
I didn't tell ya?
Took up Judo when I was in elementary school. Then Karate startin' junior high...
Then boxing startin age 18.
So that means...
...Hoshida-san, yer crazily strong?
Oh, well...
Here you go.
Hey man... Ya sure are tall, aintcha?
From what I gather, are ya around 8 feet tall?
No, not that much.
Yer such a square, I was messin with ya.
Oh, I see...
Are you on a business trip or somethin'?
Yes, I'm from Tokyo.
So that explains it.
Will give ya one good advice. If yer told somethin' like what I just said...
...just reply with "Da hell's with dat", and everythin's okay.
Da hell's WITH dat.
There! Like that.
Now that's a strong one...
I'm now having strong Osakan juice, drank straight and undiluted.
Has ketchup... and mustard...
Here you go, Pork and Egg.
Here's the rest, enjoy.
So this is it, huh. Okonomiyaki Set Meal.
[Okonomiyaki Set Meal] Pork and Egg (fried), Rice, Miso soup, Pickled Daikon
So this is it, huh. Okonomiyaki Set Meal.
This is something that we, the Kanto people cannot fathom.
Let's slice it for the meantime.
The important thing with using the spatula is to use it resolutely.
Alright.
I'm digging in.
The taste of Osaka sauce.
Nice.
This complicated sense of deliciousness.
Mayo, ketchup, mustard.
Has that "folksy" feeling.
That kind of "folksy" taste...
I like it.
Flavor of sauce with the crisp pork belly... Delicious.
Eating this alone is fine isn't it?
Let's see...
Let's do it Osaka style.
Eat the Okonomiyaki and chase it down with rice.
All right. Let's try it.
Well, color me surprise!
Okonomiyaki and rice are fusing nicely in my mouth.
It ain't bad, right?
Could it be, I have some Osakan DNA inside of me?
*Braised beef and konnyaku
Gimme Negi-Sujikon* Okonomiyaki.
Sure.
Here.
Can we have the bill?
Okay.
How much is the total?
Well, ¥1400.
Here.
Yes, thank you.
Yes, I received exact payment. Ookini~.
Thank you very much!
Ookini.
Somehow, that word enhances the aftertaste.
Anyway, this okonomiyaki is very good indeed.
It's gone in an instant.
And then, finish off my rice with pickled daikon.
I still can go for one more order.
For my next one, let's not have rice...
...and maybe go with Yakisoba?
Let's see now... Oh...
Um, what's the difference between Yakisoba Mix and Yakisoba Deluxe?
The "Mix" one contains pork and shrimp...
"Deluxe" is the same, but with scallops.
Oh, I see. Then Deluxe please.
All right!
The smell of the cooking sauce...
...is somehow violently stirring up my appetite.
If I had not eaten Okonomiyaki, this would have killed me right now!
He adds a fried egg to it, too, huh?
Here~ Yakisoba Deluxe. Thank you for waiting.
[Deluxe Yakisoba] "Sweet-sour sauce entangled in Osaka Select All Star!"
Am I being hypnotized by Osaka sauce?
I'm getting hungry again.
This is wonderful.
It's the kind I'd regret if I didn't try it.
It's the Deluxe kind. Go deluxe without reservation.
It's the tenacious Yakisoba, that has taken root on this blackened iron griddle.
*with various vegetables, seafood, and meat
Compared to the expensive seafood Goko-Yakisoba* served at a Chinese restaurant...
...this one's a completely different dish.
The scallops are superb.
And as for this...
...as expected, it's runny...
...as it should be.
So tasty, it's making me giggle unintentionally.
My appetite seems to be increasing as I eat.
It's awesome.
To a first time, chance customer like me...
...the deliciousness of this Yakisoba is something that cannot possibly be conveyed.
The history of this shop is soaked into this amber-colored dish.
For sure, when I get back to Tokyo...
...I would find myself yearning to eat this again.
Thank you fo--
Hang on... I'm not done yet, am I?
I feel like trying one more dish.
TAKONEGI
Side Snack For Your Beer
Small ¥450
Large ¥700
I wonder what's Tako-Negi?
Um, what's Tako-Negi?
Oh, it's octopus mixed with leeks, something like Korean pancake.
You can choose the sauce that you like, our house sauce or soy sauce.
Well then, I'll have a small order of Tako-Negi with soy sauce please.
Sure.
Okay, thank you for your order.
[Tako-Negi (Small)] "Tako-Negi with the hidden aroma of soy sauce; Good as a snack! Also as a side snack for drinks!"
If you like it spicy...
...just add some Ichimi (cayenne pepper) .
Oh, okay.
It's hitting me alright... the aroma of this soy sauce.
Its refreshing deliciousness is different from Okonomiyaki and Yakisoba.
After having plenty of the shop's sauce, the soy sauce tastes good.
Next, let's try it with Ichimi.
Here, they don't use Shichimi, but Ichimi.
That is the rule of this shop.
I see! So it becomes like this.
The depth of the Tako-Negi spreads out.
It's an addicting taste that a person will get into.
From now on, I too will use Ichimi.
Started with Okonomiyaki Set Meal...
...went by the Yakisoba route, and ending it with Tako-Negi.
With this, carbohydrate triathlon is the goal.
I crossed the finish line without falling down.
With this, I have one more reason why I'll look forward to returning to Osaka.
I'll come back to this shop and ask for the Pork and Egg again.
And maybe next time, I'll have a second helping of rice.
Thank you for the meal.
Excuse me. May I have the check please.
Sure!
Thank you.
Are ya leaving already?
Yes.
Next time, you gotta try this.
Banana Crepe.
Da hell's with dat.
That's it! Attaboy!
Ya have a knack for it, son. Ya wanna be my disciple?
No no... With that, I should say...
Da hell's with dat.
Good, good.
Ookini, thank you for coming!
Ah, I ate a lot.
I guess that client of mine adapted to Osaka by patronizing shops like this.
Let's see, gotta head to another job. Shall I take a cab?
It's around here, right?
Hirano, Hirano Ward, Osaka City
Thank you very much.
Thank you too.
Inogashira-san, do you know the way to the station?
Over there, right?
No, it's over there.
Shall I walk you to the station?
No, it's okay. Thank you. If you'll excuse me.
Now that ends my Osaka business trip..
Well then, shall I head back to Tokyo?
I'm home!
Welcome back.
There's a stall in such a place.
KUSHIKATSU
DOTEYAKI
It was the thing I left behind.
Excuse me.
Welcome.
Here's Kisu.
Enjoy.
I'm digging in.
Hot!
It's hot, isn't it? Please use this.
Thank you.
No double dipping.
[Kisu*]
*Japanese whiting fish
Kushikatsu's Worcestershire sauce is the blood of the Osaka people.
Even though it's a stall, it has these many ingredients.
Excuse me, what is that red meat at the rear.
This one? It's fillet meat.
It's fillet huh?
What is that rolled meat next to it?
This one's Niramaki.
It's garlic chives wrapped with pork.
Then, I'll have Fillet and Niramaki please.
Okay.
[Fillet]
This fillet, so good. And tender.
And since its coating is light...
...the taste of the meat directly jumps in my mouth.
[Niramaki]
Oh, so that's how it's like.
Kushikatsu Garlic Chives is good.
The sweetness of the fresh chives are confined brilliantly by the coating.
Are the red ones in front, Benishoga?
Yes, red pickled ginger. Would you like some?
Please.
[Benishoga]
It's huge. And will it taste good with the sauce?
Oh, that's surprising! It isn't sour at all.
It's very sweet. It goes well with the sauce.
This is a new discovery for me. I learned something good.
This doesn't call for Oolong tea, right?
For oily foods, it's gotta be carbonated drink.
It's very tasty.
Thank you.
Do you have any kind of carbonated drink?
There is a vending machine over there. You can buy it from there.
Vending machine.
I'll just go there for a moment.
This is it.
Can I have two pieces of Doteyaki?
Yes.
[Doteyaki]
Eh~ They add some ginger too, huh.
Wow, it's delicious!
I love tendon.
But what's with this delicious taste...
It's totally different from what I've eaten.
Oh, the ginger makes the difference!
Hello.
Hello there.
Hi, beer and konnyaku, please. With miso.
All right, welcome.
Miso?
What about you, Jun-chan?
Quails and Wiener!
Quails and Wiener.
If you please.
Coming right up.
I also would like Konyakku and Miso please.
Okay.
[Konnyaku Doteyaki]
So you eat it like Doteyaki with miso, huh.
So this is how it goes.
First time I'm having this but it's good.
Auntie, your konnyaku's good, as always.
The quail's yummy too.
Of course.
Somehow...
...this is my first time in Osaka that I feel like I've blended in.
Feels nice and warm.
Can I move on to the next one?
Please.
I guess, Quail and Wiener.
Got it.
And... Along with...
That Chicken Gizzard...
Chicken Gizzard, got it.
Ham, too...
Okay.
Just one piece of ham.
Sure.
Also, can I have two pieces of Doteyaki?
All right.
Then, for me, I'll have the Hereh* (Hereford beef) .
Me too, can I have the Hereh?
Sure.
