Insane Japanese Food You Have to Try in Osaka Japan

hey guys welcome back to another video and greetings from Osaka today we're going to be going to a place that serves one of the most insane looking unagi and tamago dish we have ever seen one day I was browsing through my Instagram you know looking through food photos as I usually do and something stopped me in my track it was a dish from a shop named izumo and they served this rice bowl which is topped with a thick slab of tamagoyaki and on top of that grilled unagi obviously we have to try it out which is why we are in Osaka today izumo is located near Fukushima station just one stop from Osaka station you can also just walk over from Osaka it's just around 15 minutes or so [Music] foreign [Music] guys we are in Easy Mode this is a traditional Japanese or a Japanese Pub specialized in unagi but during the lunch time they have this insane looking dish called unagi tamago domburi it's crazy and this is one of the reasons why we're here we actually want to introduce this place more as an Izakaya however you can come for lunch and have this don't be like we're going to be doing today we also got some of their specialty grilled sticks along with some drinks foreign [Music] thank you so here is Izakaya why not drink from the lunchtime this is cheers everybody [Music] should really like to drink from lunch time very happy today eat unagi sticks with this high ball five types of sticks this is the very interesting one this is cut cut and remove bones and stick this is a head of bikunagi backside tanzaku and River so I haven't eaten the head of unagi eel so I will I want to try this one first um did you hear the sound it's very it's crispy but I want to say it very very crispy and this chocolate flavor is really good with this it has a sweetness um how about this backside um the texture is divided it's close to the regular kabayaki eating way that this side the skin side is and this Fresh side is Fluffy so this is the specialty gamano oyaki um this was seasoned with salt two thousand years ago that unagi was already eaten like this it's good with salted has a lot of happiness in good way a little meeting for me thank you Satoshi for saving me this piece this is the one that's been eaten in Japan for over 2000 years right so simply grilled eel with salt that's something I've never had before it's like oh wow the skin is very crispy and nice but it's definitely unagi grilled eel flavor it's firmer than like flaky fish for example it's almost like something in between a fish and a tender meat delicious okay let's try this one this is the tanzaku oh boy oh my goodness that is amazing oh this one is even more tender than the first one I had the skin is even crispier than that one I just love it and so much flavor this one has to tell it was a special unagi sauce which is sweet and savory and salty super well balanced oh that's so good and goes so well with an alcoholic drink like a high ball okay well one more thing I'm gonna try is something I don't usually go for this is the liver of the unagi hmm interesting the texture is like um liver like you know beef liver for example but the flavor is actually milder than beef or pork liver you don't have that that strong liver taste which is actually good it's very very soft and because it's grilled with that special sauce it's nice savory sweet and salty and it's grilled to Perfection so the outside is a little bit crispy as well so let me tell you about this donburi that's super popular in this shop most people come here during the lunch time to have this there is a gigantic mound of rice I cannot believe how much rice there is and it is smothered in that homemade unagi sauce and the second layer right on top is a tamagoyaki they use three and a half eggs per portion they actually make the tamagayaki with seven eggs and we saw them making it it takes about five minutes to complete the process foreign the unagi this is I think um exactly half of a whole unagi grilled eel a grilled it to Perfection with that special sauce and oh look at that I can't believe it I just I can't speechless [Music] I almost don't want to destroy this ball I'm so excited guys I think it was a good idea that satosh and I we just had to share One Bowl okay first thing you notice is how fatty it is that's a good sign of unagi that's a sign of good unagi look at that it's fatty you see the juices running the glistening glaze on the top um you know something you guys mentioned a lot is that you get a lot of bones in the unagi this one doesn't have any bones don't worry about it and this is super tender oh my goodness and the sauce isn't as strong as I thought it would be it's not like super salty or anything let's try the tamagoyaki on the bottom right here the egg it's so fluffy oh wow you see how fluffy it is you see the steam coming out of it so it's still piping hot this is the uh the Savory tamagaki so it's not the sweet egg omelette and I gotta say what makes this Tamagotchi as good as how fluffy it is let's try a little bit of the rice I know I'm trying all the components separately but I do have a small mouth I promise I'll take a bite of all three together hmm another surprise here because of the color of the rice I thought this was going to be quite salty because it looks like it smothered in unagi sauce but it's not it's I think I think it's a different sauce from the sauce they use for the unagi it's a lot milder it's not as intense so you can actually appreciate the texture and flavor of the rice itself this is nice some of the egg and the unagi and I also got the rice okay here we go look at that all the components together oh my goodness that's the best way to eat it when you get all the flavors and textures combined it has like an explosion of deliciousness the fattiness of the Nagi with the unagi sauce the fluffy egg omelette and the rice Finger Licking Good all right Soto she's looking at me hungrily I'm gonna give this to you this is Sancho Pepa Sancho Japanese pepper sprinkle a little bit take one size small one piece of Nike so nice immediately where is my mouse so tasty egg it's slightly sweet with Umami does it forever and very fluffy rice um this rice and salty inside of this rice Mountain okay so I'm gonna separate it onto this plate actually we forgot they give you plates like this so you can you can you don't have to do it you don't have to usually eat out of this bowl yes eat like this this is the easier way mmm um now I need to become afraid about body the um soft and the rice there are different textures and flavors this is the best way to eat this if you have any leftovers do I actually make onigiri rice balls for you to take home they also have unagi sticks grilled with things like butter there's one that served with honey and blue cheese so you have a lot of unique things to try here I really recommend that you guys try some of the grilled unagi sticks but anyway we definitely want to come back again for more united especially at night time so we can just relax and drink and eat a lot of Nagi oh my goodness can you guys believe what we just had that was insane that was insane weight is one kilogram yes and you know now after we left the shop there is a long line outside you know people waiting to get in that's how popular this shop is and by the way we we obviously didn't finish our bowl and um he made us onigiri he we actually got five pretty large size onigiri out of our leftovers and of course we even got unagi and the tamagaki that we couldn't eat but glad we got these we can try these we can enjoy these back in our hotel room tonight so guys on your next visit to Osaka make sure to come to this shop called izimo the official name is too long for us to remember so we've written it right down here as well as this description box that is the official name when you guys come here make sure once again to try out some of their unagis tips because they are to die for and have it with some high ball thank you for watching see you on the next video bye bye guys thank you [Music]
