Baren

Akashiyaki stands out among Baren’s recommended dishes. It is listed at 700 yen, and diners have ordered it alongside the fried chicken. For a meal built around dishes cooked on the teppan, okonomiyaki costs 730 yen, while yakisoba and yaki udon are each 650 yen. Add fried chicken (650 yen) or fried horse mackerel (500 yen) on the side.

For a lighter bite, shredded yam and jellyfish with plum are each 500 yen, and kamaboko with wasabi is 450 yen. The drinks list includes shōchū, highballs and chūhai in flavours such as kyoho grape and lime. You can make the meal the focus or settle in with drinks and small plates. Baren is in Kohama, Suminoe-ku, Osaka, and offers dine-in service; it is also described as suitable for solo diners.
