Negiyaki at Yamamoto in Juso

Posted on 28. Apr, 2008 @ 9:05 am by in Food, Osaka Views: 760

I “found” another incredibly famous and non-hidden negiyaki shop in Osaka.

Pretty much every Japanese person in Osaka knows about the Negiyaki shop named Yamamoto. Negiyaki is very similar to Okonomiyaki, except it has tons of green onions inside, and usually not as much sauce.

We ordered the deluxe negiyaki, so it had pork, squid, and beef, if I remember correctly.

Hey, on a side note, apparently in the world of otaku, these negi (leek / green onions) are popular due to a certain anime in which a “leek spin dance” is featured. They actually sell a “soft leek replica” on JList imported straight from Japan. So.. Uh… If you’ve ever wanted a soft leek replica… To spin… You know where you can get it. Apparently, the original leek spin dance song is 17 hours long!?

Hey, what is this leek spin!? I’m completely out of the loop.

Yamamoto is located right in the heart of Juuso, so it’s pretty easy to find. It’s near the 7th Art Movie Theatre in case you’re looking for it! It gets crowded around dinner time, so show up a little early.

The Negiyaki at Kuishinbo in Shinsaibashi is also delicious. You can get it with ponzu sauce which is another unique and wonderful taste!

MMmmm…. Osaka food.

    ハーベイさん、お久しぶりです。(o^∇^o)ﾉ
    やまもとは、昔に比べ、おネギの量も味も落ちたような気がして、しばらく行ってません。残念･･･
    混んでいて表で並ばないと入れないことがよくあるのですが、そのとき、注文を聞いてくれる女性が、全て一度聞いただけで十人ほどの顔と注文を覚えて、間違えることなく出てくるのも見ものですよ！　今もそうなのかなぁ？　なぁんだか、また食べたくなりました。

    It’s a looping Flash animation dating back to 2006. Wikipedia has the full story:

    まゆみさん！ひさしぶりだね。
    昔の方がおいしかったって？昔って、いつのことかな。くいだおれもなくなるし、フェティバルゲートの辺もぼろぼろだし。大阪は大丈夫か！
    私が５時ぐらいに入ったので列はなかったけど、６時ぐらいになったらさすがに外まで並んでたよ。ほかのお客さんは注文をちゃんと言ってから料理が出たかどうかはわからないけど。
    おれ常連さんになろうかな！
    とにかくおいしかったからもう一回言ってみればまゆみ！

    昔って、10年くらい前。すっごい昔だ。(笑)　その頃は、お気に入りで、4、50分待っても食べてました！　最後に行ったのは、3年くらい前です。でも、また行って見ますね。

    ホンマや～　くいだおれはなくなるし(実は、食べたことない！)、フェスティバルゲートはぼろぼろやし。
    でも、大阪は大丈夫やんなぁ～、ハービーさん？

    Man, I just had to comment.
    I’ve seen that darned leek spinning video before, and you know what? That darned song in that darned leek spinning video is a Finnish folksong. Now, I’m Finnish and proud of it, but after seeing that video, I felt like damning our folk music to the lowest of neatherworlds. Well, I never did like our folk music in the first place, but that’s just plain… agony.

    Whoever made that video should be made to listen to that song for twelve eternities.

    On a side note, I stumbled across this blog a while ago now and have been reading non-stop ever since. I love it! I hope you get to move back to Japan ;) I myself am going to Osaka next summer, because after doing some research I came to the conclusion Osaka beats Tokyo or any other city with ease.

    Anyway, thanks for writing all this stuff ^-^
