Okaeri

The dish that stands out first at Okaeri is the mille-feuille tonpeiyaki, singled out by customers as memorable. One diner said the owner came up with it after hearing that thick cuts of meat could be difficult to bite through; another also reported trying the tonpeiyaki. It’s a promising choice for anyone keen to try a dish shaped by the restaurant’s own idea.

The opening otsukidashi, or small dish served at the start of a meal, has also made an impression. One customer noted that three dishes were served, while another recalled the otsukidashi and meat dishes as particular highlights. Its contents may vary from day to day, so you could enjoy whatever arrives and ask what’s recommended that day.

Customers have also reported enjoying okonomiyaki, horumon yakisoba, tonpeiyaki with seasonal vegetables, raw senmai and squid legs, offering several ways to build a meal around dishes cooked on the griddle. Other menu options mentioned include roast beef salad, modern-yaki, steak and grilled seafood. There are choices ranging from lighter plates to meat- or seafood-led meals, along with beer and other alcoholic drinks for a relaxed evening of small dishes and a drink.

Customer accounts describe a restaurant with mainly counter seating; some diners enjoyed chatting with the owner over their meal. This izakaya is in Miyakojima Minamidōri, Miyakojima Ward, Osaka. It is open from Tuesday to Saturday, from 17:00 to 22:00.
