Osaka 🇯🇵 Family Restaurant Take your kids to a unique restaurant for fishing
Yesterday, a Canadian mother planning a family trip to Japan specifically requested this Fishing Tea House, a unique izakaya, be included in her itinerary.
This restaurant is truly a huge internet sensation, especially for its fun and fancy decor, making it a favorite with kids. Today, we'll share the highlights and precautions, so you can enjoy the fun while avoiding pitfalls.
First, let's talk about the good things:
✅ From the creative design to the decor, what kid can resist trying fishing and prawning in this cool restaurant?
✅ Plenty of fish, a high chance of catching, and a sense of accomplishment and excitement (if you can't catch anything, you can just scoop it up).
✅ You can make sashimi, boil it, or grill it, so you can enjoy multiple dishes with one fish. Plus, the atmosphere is great, so parents with alcohol tolerance can enjoy a drink.
✅ There's a grill on the table, so you can catch and grill your own fish. The experience was absolutely fantastic for the kids.
✅ The location is quite convenient, with one restaurant in Shinsaibashi and one in Tsutenkaku.
A few things to keep in mind:
✅ The taste is average, and the prices aren't cheap. As a restaurant, the value is average, but it's fun.
✅ You have to pay for everything you catch. Last time I went, a mother left her child unattended, and after eating, she slipped away and caught a fish. She also had to wait for it to be cooked and eaten.
✅ Don't expect too much service or English communication. See if there are Chinese waiters, or use translation software.
Tips:
✔️ There is a seating fee per person (similar to tea fees).
✔️ If you want to choose a seat, please specify this in advance when making a reservation.
✔️ Be careful with your fishing rod; don't get scratched by the hook.
