This video shines a spotlight on Maruhachi Seinikuten, a popular teppan horumon yaki (grilled offal) shop in the bustling Nishinari district of Osaka. Capturing a full day at this iconic street food destination, viewers get an exclusive look at the daily preparations and sheer volume handled—up to 40 kilograms of horumon (beef or pork offal) grilled fresh each day. The video begins with a brief highlight reel, followed by an in-depth focus on the staff and their meticulous approach to preparing Osaka’s classic soul food.

Located in Senbonkita, Nishinari-ku at 1-1-18, this well-loved shop is a local institution with a strong sense of community and hospitality. Because the teppan (iron plate grill) is dedicated to horumon prep from opening until around 1 PM, various menu items like ‘tsurami’ (cheek meat) and ‘harami’ (skirt steak) are not available until later in the day. The narrator suggests visitors take note of this schedule when placing orders. The dynamic filming style brings you close to the sizzling grill, highlighting the handling, seasoning, and grilling of different offal grades unique to Kansai food culture.

Nishinari is a district renowned for its old-school charm and street food, making it a draw for both locals and tourists seeking authentic Osaka flavors. Teppan horumon yaki is a signature Osaka comfort food, commonly enjoyed by standing at a compact counter and socializing over freshly grilled cuts. The area’s postwar character, reasonable prices, and friendly vendors create a uniquely nostalgic food scene. If you’re planning an Osaka food adventure, visiting classic establishments like Maruhachi Seinikuten offers an essential taste of regional culinary traditions.

For visitors eager to explore further, Nishinari is also home to local izakayas, unique shotengai (shopping streets), and other hidden gems. Including Maruhachi Seinikuten on your itinerary grants a deeper look into local life and Osaka’s vibrant food culture.
