More detailed review further down but this was one of our most memorable meals on our trip.We went for our final dinner in Japan after a 2 week trip.We had been recommended an izakaya, but we hadn't been during our stay so we decided we would go the last evening. This was close to our hotel, and had received good reviews from other visiting customers and the food looked more diverse than other places nearby.We had a great time. The staff was super friendly, even if their English was limited they made sure to explain everything as best as they could to us and we managed to communicate well with English only, and Google translate. Do note that this restaurant only accepts cash, and since it was our last dinner we didn't have very much we restricted our time and what we ordered.It is a family run restaurant, and the atmosphere was the best we had, we talked to the daughter of the owner who was sitting next to us and we had a drink together.Would highly recommend it if you are looking for a local experience :)
Family-run (we were served by mother, father and son) and a very local experience - we were the only tourists, but they were soooo friendly and happy to host us. Menu is all in Japanese (Google Translate works great, and the staff do speak English). Enjoyed gyoza, yakitori, sake, etc. Cosy interior, sitting up at the counter 👌🏻 Total bill for 2 people inc. drinks = 2800 JPY, so very reasonable.
The best place in Osaka if you want an authentic experience! This is a family restaurant, it's very cozy. We highly recommend this and will come back. Sake and food was amazing.
The best izakaya we’ve had in Japan. We managed to get by with no English menu and used google translate - the host speaks some English and was super friendly and helpful. We had excellent sake from the Aomori prefecture. Food was delicious; gyoza, ham katsu, miso scallop and pork rib were all excellent. Hope we have time to come back. We had 7 drinks and total was under 7000 yen.
Amazing small restaurant with friendly hosts. Everything we tried was really ice and the selection of different Sake makes really a difference.No English menu available and only cash payment.We will sure come again though.
Izakaya Joppari's recommend
Izakaya Joppari is a charming spot near Osaka Tenmangu Shrine, known for its welcoming atmosphere and traditional Japanese pub fare. The term "joppari" means "stubborn" in the Tsugaru dialect, but the hospitality here is warm and inviting. Run by a friendly husband-and-wife team, the izakaya offers a cozy setting with counter and table seating. It’s a great place to enjoy a relaxing meal with family or friends, featuring a variety of delicious dishes and drinks. With its convenient location just a short walk from Osaka Tenmangu Station, it's a perfect spot for both locals and visitors to unwind and enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine.
