Sunday, June 25th

Continued from the previous article!

On Sunday, my father invited me to go to Osaka Station to buy a betting ticket,

so we went to [Osaka Station].

I bought a ticket for the Takarazuka Kinen, but...

I didn't just go to buy a ticket, my father said

"Let's go buy a betting ticket" = "Let's have a drink around Osaka Station."

No, it's not a slang term or anything!

I'm not interested in betting tickets, so I just went along with my father to have a drink in the afternoon.

I even skipped a walking event...

11:00 AM

Now, where should we go for a drink?

Both my parents like alcohol, but I inherited the way I drink from my father!

I hate to say it myself, but

I'm a true, true drinker! ︎

I have a drink at home every night, but I hardly have a chance to go out drinking with my father, and maybe since I returned to my parents' house during this COVID-19 pandemic?

Let's go out drinking together as a family! That sort of thing...

My father and brother, who don't talk much, probably won't go, but I think it's better to go while you have the chance!

So, while we were returning to Osaka Station from WINGS,

we were discussing where to go, and last time my father took me to a popular izakaya that he frequents,

and R-panda was happy because it was his first time there,

but there were several types of local sake, which made R-panda, who loves sake, even more happy,

but it was 600 to 700 yen a glass, so I thought it was expensive...

Since COVID-19 has calmed down, I've started drinking alone,

so I thought I'd take my father to his favorite place recently!

So we headed to the Ekimae Dai-ni Building.

This is unrelated, but isn't the New Hankyu Hotel going to be demolished soon?

I took a photo with regret☆

I don't come to Osaka Station unless I have a special reason.

Even when I come, I go drinking in the underground mall and rarely go above ground.

My father used to work in this area, so he knows it very well.

Just follow my father and you'll be safe!

If you walk towards Kitashinchi Station, just before that...

The second basement floor of the Osaka Station Second Building

I remember some celebrity saying it the other day,

I guess it's unique to Osaka~

It's like "Osaka Station Second Building", with a jumble of restaurants

There are several buildings...

I feel so proud♪

While I was saying that,

I arrived at R-panda's recommended restaurant!

Standing bar [Shomin] (Osaka Station Dai-ni Building store)

Standing bar [Shomin] (Osaka Station Dai-ni Building store)

By the way, [Shomin] has stores all over the place,

I've been to the Kyobashi store and the Tenma store, but this is my first time here♪

In front of Osaka Station, there is also the Dai-ni Building, Dai-san Building, Dai-yon Building, etc.,

each with its own subtle characteristics, and one of the fun things is finding the differences♪

This Dai-ni Building store is small, so it's hard to see what's going on inside from the outside,

and it takes a lot of courage to go in just because there's a [seats available] sign in front of the store!

The waiter called out to us, "Two people, please come to table 24!"

So we went inside. . .

This is what it looks like from inside♪

It feels surprisingly spacious than it looks from the outside.

By the way, my father has never been to a standing bar,

really...

he said that he wouldn't have gone in by himself if R-panda hadn't invited him.

First, a drink!

I don't like beer, so I don't know the market price,

there are two types of sake, Hakutsuru (200 yen) and Shinsho (300 yen),

and at Commoner, I've only ever tried the cold Shinsho.

Cold Sake Shinsho (300 yen)

My father did the same... a glass of Shinsho.

The other day, on the way back from seeing hydrangeas in Uji, Kyoto

I got off at Nakashojima and drank some local sake from Fushimi, which is famous for its sake, on the way back,

Article about walking around Kyoto alone

Why does it taste better at [Shomin] than at Fushimi?

Just because it's cheap, I don't drink a stupid (or even like) brand of sake,

I drink delicious sake at a low price...

That satisfaction❤︎

The food menu looks like this!

I can't see because I'm nearsighted, so I take a picture of everything before ordering.

I was curious about the "Limited quantity! Beef tataki (250 yen)"

But when I tried to order it, it was after 12:00 or 12:30 or something

It was outside of business hours, so I gave up for the time being...

Anyway, everything on the menu at [Shomin] is cheap!

It's too good value for money,
