There are FamilyMart, Lawsons and 7-Eleven nearby, so there are many options even if you want supper or breakfast😊 The room is not large, but very clean, basic facilities are complete, the bathroom also has a bathtub🛁, piggy pack can take a bath every night, very happy😆 Originally we were in a double room, but the bed can be easily put together into a large bed, mother and piggy bank can sleep together, the luggage 🧳 place becomes more spacious 🤣 We stayed for 4️⃣ days in a row, you can choose whether you need to clean up the room, just stick a magnet sticker outside the door, very courteous 👍🏻.

[Infiltrating a real Chinese restaurant in Shimanouchi, Osaka⁉️] Hello 🌞This time I went to Shimanouchi Shokan in Shimanouchi, Osaka! I went here with three friends who are native Chinese speakers! It was a small restaurant with only about 20 seats, but the food was served quickly and I was very satisfied. [What I ordered] ☀︎ Boiled dumplings - They were very chewy and plump! Unlike other real Chinese restaurants, there was a limit of 4 sets of boiled dumplings per table‼ ️I think it's because they are handmade, but it's worth trying!! ☀︎ Roujia Mo - It's not in the photo, but it's a dish of meat like braised pork sandwiched between crispy buns! You can even choose the amount of fat in the meat! The buns are crispy and the meat is juicy, so you can enjoy the texture and taste! It was also very cheap at 500 yen! ☀︎Sour and spicy noodles (San Ramen) -As the name suggests, this is a sour and spicy Chinese ramen! You can choose the spiciness! If you choose the mildest level, it was delicious enough that even people who don't like spicy food can eat it! However, it gradually felt spicier as time passed... (why?) So! Eat it quickly ✊ ☀︎Jianmeirou (Jianmeirou) -As the name suggests, this was like a braised pork dish with a taste of soy sauce and plum! The part with a little chili pepper was spicy,, But! The meat was so tender that it almost melted on my tongue! It was really delicious! Personally, I think all the meat dishes at this restaurant are great! ☀︎Tea -I think there is a teapot cut off in the second photo, but I ordered tea! Once you order, you will receive a service to add hot water when the tea inside runs out‼ ️You can ask the staff about the type of tea! (I had Tieguanyin tea this time) I was able to eat in a very relaxed atmosphere! There is a Japanese menu even for those who do not speak Chinese! Many serious Chinese restaurants specialize in certain dishes (overwhelming subjectivity), but this restaurant was delicious no matter what I ordered, so please visit it once! 🕰️Business hours: 11:00-21:00 (closed on Tuesdays) 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Toilet available, no parking 📍Location: 2-4-24 Shimanouchi, Chuo-ku, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture 542-0082 9 minutes walk from Kintetsu Nihonbashi Station ⚠️This restaurant was not available in the location, so I set the hotel opposite‼ ️ 💰Price per person: About 2000 yen #SeriousChinese #OsakaGourmet #Kintetsu #ChineseCuisine
