原田采大

I went to a fully reservation-based yakitori restaurant that I've been curious about for a while, located in Tenroku. 🐔

The restaurant is called Harada Saito, and is closest to the Tenjinbashi-suji Rokuchome station on the Hankyu train and Osaka Metro. 🚃

It is a renovated old house located in a residential area. 🏠

The restaurant operates on a two-part reservation system. ✨

There are only counter seats available, and the table had chicken flake🐔, spicy seasoning🔥, and black spicy seasoning🔥. ✨

The menu prices are:
Cooking fee: 6500 yen
Soft drink unlimited refill: 1000 yen
Regular alcohol unlimited refill: 2000 yen
Premium alcohol unlimited refill: 4500 yen
It is necessary to choose one of the three types of drink unlimited refills‼️

The drinks included:
Tea chuhai, yuzu jam chuhai, Calpis chuhai, and oolong tea. 🐦‍⬛
They were all wonderful! ✨

The seasonal potage consisted of a green pea potage. 🫛
It was served hot🔥, had a rich bean flavor, and was delicious! 🫛
