Food "Prioritizing Freshness in Sourcing and Careful Preparation Creates an Impressive Dish"
"A focus on freshness and high quality," says Mr. Arai. He sources fresh beef offal daily from "PFC," a meat wholesaler specializing in Wagyu and domestic offal. "Excess fat in offal leads to a heavy aftertaste," he explains, carefully removing fat and sinew to create a dish that leaves everyone in awe. When it comes to "minoyubiki," there are no signs of being submerged in hot water and then chilled in ice water; instead, they serve raw mino. The glossy, amber-hued flesh is sure to impress with its sweetness that seeps out with each bite.
Food "The Omakase Course of Offal Dishes Alternates Between Hot and Cold Dishes."
The omakase course is a style where two people share one plate. Starting with the Japanese-style offal stew, along with dishes like chire sashimi (spleen) and tongue stew, there are a total of 11 offal dishes. Mr. Arai mentions, "You can stop at any time, and the bill will be for what you've had up to that point" (the full course is 5,850 yen per person). The course features alternating warm and cold dishes, creating a pleasant ebb and flow of flavors. For solo diners, half portions of individual dishes are also available. It’s recommended to enjoy these with the special highball, which is reputed to be "delicious and mysteriously easy to drink."
Space"Facing Off with Traditional Offal Dishes Passed Down Through Generations in a Showa Retro Space"
Reservations are not accepted, and before the 5 PM opening, customers line up outside the store. The interior, which exudes a Showa-era atmosphere, is always full, but since customers tend to stay for about an hour, the turnover is surprisingly quick. The previous owner trained at the renowned offal restaurant "Fuji-i" that was once located in Dotonbori. "I haven't fundamentally changed the flavors I learned from my father," says Mr. Arai. I want to savor the meticulously crafted offal dishes that have been passed down through the years.
Established in 1980, this long-standing restaurant offers fresh, high-quality, and consistently delicious Japanese-style offal dishes.
Established in 1980, "Wafu Motsu Ryori Arata" is a renowned restaurant in Osaka, famous for its offal dishes. The counter-only space fills up quickly as soon as it opens at 5 PM. The second-generation... owner, Atsushi Arai, sources beef offal from long-time meat suppliers, insisting on using A5 grade black wagyu whenever possible. The signature dish, Wafu Motsu Nikomi, offers a clean and gentle flavor that highlights the natural umami of the offal. The wooden plaque on the wall lists nearly ten different items, but for first-timers, the omakase course is highly recommended.
