Toyomaru seafood restaurant, Takatsuki Osaka, Japan

I and my husband discovered a wonderful restaurant in Takatsuki. I hesitate about calling it a restaurant or an izakaya... It's like a stall. There is very noisy and we can't calm down.
But, sashimi, sushi, tempura, nimono, yakimono, and shirumono are very fresh and are delicious.
And they are very low-priced!

I've been doing freelance jobs, of course they are not photo jobs. And this time I got a regular job.
I'm bubbling with expectation, at the same time, I think I can't take many photos as before.
But I want to continue taking food photos as much as possible, because I love doing it!

The Japanese name is "mizore soba". "mizore" means sleet.
It's called "mizore soba" because grated daikon radish looks like sleet.
It can also be called "oroshi soba".
