Osaka's Must-Try: Whole Lobster Tempura Rice Bowl

Help! This tempura specialty shop has completely won me over! It's a weekend favorite, often packed with diners, and I finally got to try it—what a treat! The signature dish, "Ise Lobster Tempura Rice Bowl," is a visual feast the moment it arrives at your table. The whole lobster is freshly fried to a golden crisp, and when you peel off the shell, the meat is firm and springy. Pair it with juicy salmon roe and mix it with rice—it's so fresh it'll blow your mind! The thick-cut Sangen pork cutlet is another surprise; the meat is tender and juicy, and every bite bursts with flavor. I absolutely love the open kitchen setup in the restaurant. Watching the chefs fry tempura on the spot creates such a great atmosphere! Pair it with a glass of sake, and it's the perfect way to enjoy a weekend. Next time I'm in Osaka, I'll definitely come back for more!
