pit master VAMOS 梅田
I visited a trendy shop in Umeda✨
The place is called pit master VAMOS Umeda, located on the second floor of a building off the side street of the Higashi-dori Shopping District in Umeda. It had a stylish wooden decor✨
It's within walking distance from various Umeda stations 🚃
For drinks, I chose a seasonal non-alcoholic cocktail🍸, a peach and mango squash🍑🥭 for 650 yen. It had a rich flavor of both peach and mango and was incredibly delicious🍑🥭. I was also happy to find a large white peach in it🍑.
For appetizers, I got a mixed platter🫒 for 880 yen, which included:
- Country-style pâté🐮
- Beef tongue and anchovy potato salad🐮
- Smoked egg🥚
- Yellowtail and orange carpaccio🐟🍊
- Shirasu and broccoli marinated in anchovy🥦
- Carrot rapé🥕
- Pickled purple cabbage🟣
There was a generous portion of vegetables and fruits, including grilled vegetables🥰. The pâté🐮 was rich and delicious, especially paired with a sweet mustard sauce🐮. The beef tongue and anchovy potato salad🐮 looked beautiful with plenty of fish roe on top✨. The beef tongue was also plentiful and very tasty🐮. The smoked egg🥚 had a rich yolk that was delightful🥚. The yellowtail and orange carpaccio🐟🍊 was fatty and refreshing with the orange. The shirasu and broccoli anchovy marinade🥦 had a nice texture with ample shirasu on the broccoli, which was delicious🥦. The carrot rapé🥕 was light and tasty🥕. The pickled purple cabbage🟣 was also good.
I ordered tacos🌮 for 600 yen each x 3. They provided gloves🧤. I topped them with a tangy sauce called Cholula and vegetables, and squeezed lime on them🍋🟩. I avoided the jalapeños as they looked spicy💦. The tacos were topped with tomatoes and oranges🍅🍊. The Suavero🐮 featured domestically produced black-haired wagyu seasoned with herbs and peppers, which was flavorful, rich, and juicy🐮. The Carnitas🐷 was pork shoulder cooked with citrus like orange, which tasted light and delicious🐷🍊. The Pescado🐟 was fish mixed with chimichurri sauce originating from Argentina, and the sauce had a great flavor🐟. Everything was distinctively tasty, with the vegetables crispy, and the Cholula sauce adding a spicy kick🔥.
The grilled shrimp cream pasta🦐 was ¥1,528 (tax included ¥1,680). It came with three large, almost raw grilled head-on shrimp🦐 and three fully cooked large shrimp🦐, making it very luxurious🥰. The sauce instantly gave a strong shrimp flavor that was rich and incredibly delicious🦐. The thin pasta was al dente and also tasty🍝. The head-on shrimp was sweet, rich, and absolutely delicious🦐. I thoroughly mixed in the shrimp miso for an even richer taste🦐. The cooked shrimp were plump and yummy🦐. The plentiful shimeji mushrooms also added to the dish's deliciousness🍄🟫. This is a must-try menu for shrimp lovers🦐.
Considering the location and other factors, it was quite reasonable and delicious!!
I wouldn’t have found it without knowing the area, and I'm glad I discovered this lovely new shop🥰.
I definitely want to visit again😆.
