うさぎ居酒屋 - 東三国 IN OSAKA

When we were in Osaka, a friend took us to an Izakaya located near Higashi-Mikuni (東三国)station. We had the best of the best Japanese traditional cuisine in this family run restaurant.  With great food and exceptional service come together as one, it was a great evening. 
  The menu consisted of traditional sushi highlighted by contemporary Japanese cuisine.
 This dish of radish and chicken slices was delicious. 
 Fresh oysters for the taking.
The "kamo udon nabe" (鴨鍋) duck meat with noodles and mixed vegetables in clay pot is one of the popular menu in Izakaya especially in Winter. 
 Seasonal fish roasted in salt.
 Deep fried spring chicken
 Another Winter fish served with radish. 
" 焼きカモ" BBQ duck meat was fantastic.
 "天ぷら" Tempura
焼き鮭 "Salmon" - another exquisite dish.
"自家製漬物" Home made Japanese pickles
"お好み焼き" Popular pancake dish of Kansai
After a good meal,  we took a picture with the mama-san  to remember Usagi Izakaya.

If you are in Osaka and want to try the Izakaya food, I strongly recommend this "Usagi" restaurant. Take the Midōsuji Line (御堂筋線) from either Umeda or Shin-Osaka and disembark at (東三国) Higashi-Mikuni (M12). Take the exit from platform 2, turn to the street on the left and you can see the restaurant just 50 meters away.
