Amemura Shain Shokudo turns 15 15 years since we opened here in Amemura
Amemura Shain Shokudo is an izakaya in Amerikamura (“Amemura”), the lively district just a 5-minute walk from Namba and Shinsaibashi stations in Osaka. Run by a husband-and-wife team, it is known for its cozy, homey atmosphere and its healthy, carefully made creative dishes and drinks.
Since opening in 2011, we have been loved by people who work nearby and by visitors from all over Japan on business trips and holidays, who call us “the Papa and Mama of Amemura” and say “When you’re in Osaka, go to Amesha!”
Come and enjoy dishes you can only taste here, such as our famous Shio Tebasaki (salt chicken wings) and the Garichu, a drink that was born at Amesha, in a warm atmosphere that will make you want to come back and bring a friend.
We think of each dish as a work of art, and we keep refining every one of them, day after day. Our owner travels all over Japan to find and carefully choose our ingredients and seasonings. To bring out the best in each ingredient, we don’t stick to conventional methods; we look for the ideal way to cut, cook and finish every dish, aiming for food a cut above what you would expect from an izakaya.
All so that you can enjoy a special kind of “delicious” that you will find only at Amesha, and so that as many people as possible leave with a smile, satisfied in body and soul.
Shio Tebasaki — Salt-Seasoned Chicken Wings
Amesha’s signature dish, with a repeat-order rate of nearly 100%. Japanese free-range chicken wings are fried twice, so they come out crispy outside and juicy inside. The salt is our own blend of several varieties, chosen from more than 200 as the best match for the wings. Its gentle, rounded saltiness makes it easy to keep eating them one after another. Once you try them, you’ll be hooked.
Garichu — Chuhai with Pickled Ginger
An original drink born at Amesha: a chuhai (shochu highball) with gari, the sweet pickled ginger served with sushi. Our owner came across this gari at a sushi restaurant, loved it so much that they bought some, and tried adding it to a chuhai. That is how the Garichu was born. It has a clean sweet-and-sour taste with no bitterness, and if you press the ginger with the muddler, the flavor changes as you drink. For a refill, try an “Oi-Chu”: we simply top up your glass with more chuhai.
Gyutetsu — Wagyu Hot Pot in an Iron Pot
A hot pot of Kuroge Wagyu beef, onions from Awaji Island and bean sprouts, simmered in our original blend of warishita (a soy-based broth). The longer it simmers, the better the sweetness of the vegetables and the beef come together. We cook it in a Nanbu ironware pot, whose far-infrared heat locks in the flavor, so you can enjoy the natural richness of every ingredient to the fullest.
So that you can enjoy Amesha’s carefully crafted dishes at home,
they are now available from our online shop.
Each order is made after you order it and frozen with “Tomin,” a state-of-the-art rapid freezer,
so ingredients and dishes reach you fresh, without losing their texture or flavor.
Enjoy the same taste you would have in the restaurant.
