Amazing "Maguro, Uni, Ikura" are worth waiting in line! Revealing the secrets of IZAKAYA TOYO's popularity.




Quote:instagram/yamashii70さん

Now I would like to introduce the secrets for the popularity that people start forming a waiting line even before it opens.

The first specialty of IZAKAYA TOYO! "Maguro" served as Sashimi and Aburi roast are the most popular of all.




Quote:instagram/leflah_koizumiさん


Quote:instagram/ryooo1986さん

IZAKAYA TOYO's stable popularity comes from this "Maguro."

The Maguro sashimi served include "akami (lean meat)," "toro (tuna belly)," and "Ootoro (fatty tuna)." and this is the signature menu that almost every person would never fail to order.

Needless to say, it is very fresh and the taste is very delicious.
In addition, special note needs to be taken regarding its volume and the reasonable price.

The volume is such that the order for two persons would be right for four persons.

Here is another introduction of their "Maguro" signature dish.

"Aburi roasted Maguro Cheek Meat"
This is another must-have menu that is highly recommended.
After the order has been made, the master takes a hand-held burner and starts roasting the fresh Maguro, in this way called "aburi."


Quote:instagram/maruyamatakaoさん


Quote:instagram/iichaaannnさん

The master turns Maguro with his bare hand in the flame from the burner!

We can never do that.

It must be the skill of a professional acquired from many years of experience.

We can also feel his dedication to serve us the best food!

The second specialty at IZAKAYA TOYO! Very fresh "Uni" and "Ikura" are also served in large portions!




Quote:instagram/m93eeさん


Quote:instagram/ryooo1986さん

Introducing next are Uni(sea urchin) and Ikura(salmon roe) which are counted among the most favorite items along with Maguro at IZAKAYA TOYO.

As you can see in the photo, Uni and Ikura are also served in large portions!

It is okay to order just Uni!
It is okay to order just Ikura!
And if you would like to have both, please ordder "Uni-Ikura" set!


Quote:instagram/shoichi_japanさん


Quote:instagram/shoichi_japanさん

"Uni-Ikura" will be included in TOYO's recommendation "Chef's 3-item Choice"' menu as well, so please enjoy their fresh "Uni-Ikura" that are served in large portions!

The third specialty of IZAKAYA TOYO! "Today's Recommendation" menu, the fresh seafood from the market on the very day!

The secrets for the long waiting line is not only the sigunature dishes introduced above.

"TOYO" is located in a back alley in Osaka downtown Kyobashi, which is a place where normally, only the local people would know, and this setting is a perfect match with the dynamic dishes served in the Tachinomi style setting.


Quote:instagram/ryoyanakayamaさん


Quote:instagram/yousky88さん

As seen here, it is exactly the style of Tachinomi yatai, a street stand.
Lastly, we must mention about the famous owner and master of IZAKAYA TOYO.


Quote:instagram/saori_0530さん


Quote:instagram/harukukinさん

When we hear of a master of such a unique place, we would imagine that he would be "a hard to talk to," stubborn kind of person, but it is not the case for TOYO's master that he is quite oppsite of such a difficult person.

He is open and friendly to his customers. Although he is very serious and concentrating when he is preparing food, he would always smile back whenever he is spoken to,.

He would even join us in photos when he has time. We can see that his friendliness draws people to his place.

So when you have a chance to visit "TOYO," make sure you pay attention to the pleasant master as well!

As we have seen, there are reasons for the high popularity of "TOYO" such as "their delicious dishes", " the unique location", and "the friedly master". It is worth visiting at least once, despite of the waiting line.

4,Comments from EnjoyJapan! Editorial dept.




Quote:instagram/kanaloa2260さん

IZAKAYA TOYO is an amazing place but it is not yet widely known because it is not located in the business area in Kyobashi.
To tell the truth, I do not want people to hear about or find this place because it already has long waiting lines.

However, the famous signature dishes of Maguro, Uni-Ikura are so amazing that I would want people to experience and enjoy the place.
It is a cheerful Tachinomi style bar with shared tables that it may not suit the persons who wish to enjoy dinner in a quiet setting, but I would recommend this place to people who love the thick Osaka-style gourmet and atmosphere and who want the great food and drinks.
The days and hours open are very limited, but it is worth standing in line to taste the exquisite dishes that are served here, I recommend this place to not only people from Osaka but also to those from far if they happen to be visiting close by.
