Sumibi Yakitori Ikoka Nishitenma (炭火焼鳥いこか 西天満)

The second outpost of Osaka’s acclaimed Ikoka yakitori group, this Nishitenma branch brings the same charcoal-grilling technique that built the original Hommachi location’s reputation to a new neighborhood near Oebashi Station. Expect precisely cooked skewers and seasonal grilled vegetables in a modern izakaya setting, a worthy sibling to its Bib-Gourmand-associated original. The restaurant keeps irregular closures rather than a fixed weekly day off.
