Delicious food during lunchtime at kitchen deli LUE

Hello everyone !

Do you know Nakazakicho Station?

It's only one stop from Umeda on the Tanimachi Line, but unlike Umeda, where skyscrapers line the streets, it's also an area with many old row houses.

The itoaware Osaka shop is located in a corner of a row house, and it's a renovated building from the Meiji era.

Recently, new stores have been opening one after another, and it has a different kind of liveliness compared to Umeda.

This time, I went to Kitchen Deli LUE， a restaurant that opened on April 11th and is located close to Nakazakicho Station.

It seems that they originally sold their products from a food truck, so

you may have met them somewhere before.

Kitchen Deli LUE is not a large, cozy restaurant located along the elevated railway line, with only counter seats.

They are particular about the rice they use, and when I had it, it was the Niigata variety called Shinnosuke.

There are two stoves in the kitchen, so you can eat rice cooked in a stove☺️

You can have as many refills as you like, which is a nice and delicious service.

The menu includes a main dish such as the highly recommended homemade roast pork,

which comes with rice, soup, and two small side dishes 🍚

My friend ordered the roast pork, so I decided to have the stewed hamburger steak!

The hamburger steak was thick and hot and juicy!

You can watch the roast pork being cut from the counter,

and it was beautiful, tender, and delicious.

It had been a while since I had kamado rice,

and it was fluffy and I could feel each grain of rice, and it was sweet, so I was impressed.

Japanese rice is really delicious, isn't it 🤤

I was wondering whether to have a second helping of rice,

but I was full, so I didn't have a second helping this time.

I think next time I'll go when I'm more hungry... lol

Kitchen Deli LUE is about an 8-minute walk from the itoaware Osaka store.

It seems that they are open not only at lunch time but also at dinner time, so please go and check it out.
