In Japan, a Tabelog score of 3.4+ is genuinely high — Japanese reviewers are famously strict, and most locals consider anything above 3.4 a place worth a detour.

Tabelog and Google Maps scores are accurate as of the time of writing.
1. Yaekatsu (八重勝)
📍 3-4-13 Ebisuhigashi, Naniwa-ku, Osaka 556-0002
🕐 10:30–20:30, closed Thursdays (as of May 2026)
💰 ¥1,500–¥2,500 per person (food only)
🚃 Dobutsuen-mae Station (3 min walk)
⭐ Rating: Tabelog 3.72 / Google 4.3 (2,000+ reviews) (as of writing)
🗺 Open in Google Maps
📋 Tabelog
What to order: Doteyaki skewer (¥300 for 3), beef kushikatsu (¥110–¥150 each)
Yaekatsu always has a conspicuously long line outside — it’s the one queue in Shinsekai that actually tells you something. The doteyaki here is beef tendon stewed in white miso, and it’s been that way since 1949. Turnover is fast enough that most people get in within 30 minutes — worth every second of the wait.
2. Horumon Dojo (ホルモン道場)
📍 3-2-23 Ebisuhigashi, Naniwa-ku, Osaka 556-0002
🕐 11:00–23:00 (hours may vary) (as of May 2026)
💰 ¥1,000–¥2,000 per person (food only) / ¥1,500–¥3,000 (with drinks)
🚃 Dobutsuen-mae Station (1 min walk)
⭐ Rating: Tabelog 3.41 / Google 4.2 (300+ reviews) (as of writing)
🗺 Open in Google Maps
📋 Tabelog
What to order: Horumon assortment (¥600–¥900), pig’s trotters (¥300)
Horumon Dojo sits inside Jan Jan Yokocho, and the counter-only setup means you’re watching your offal hit the iron plate right in front of you. It’s loud, smoky, and completely unpretentious — exactly what this alley demands. Turnover is brisk, so even when it looks full, you rarely wait long.
3. Sumiyaki Horumon Shichifuku (炭焼ホルモン 七福)
📍 2-6-21 Ebisuhigashi, Naniwa-ku, Osaka 556-0002
🕐 12:00–23:00 (as of May 2026)
💰 ¥1,500–¥2,500 per person (food only) / ¥2,000–¥3,500 (with drinks)
🚃 Ebisucho Station (3 min walk)
⭐ Rating: Tabelog 3.5 / Google 4.3 (200+ reviews) (as of writing)
🗺 Open in Google Maps
📋 Tabelog
What to order: Charcoal-grilled beef horumon skewer (¥300–¥500), doteyaki stew
Shichifuku blends yakiniku and doteyaki in a way that reflects Osaka’s deep-rooted offal culture — the charcoal grill gives the horumon a smokiness you don’t get from iron-plate spots. Counter seating makes it easy to drop in solo, and the seven-ring charcoal setup means you’re doing the grilling yourself. Order the beef horumon skewer early — it sells out.
4. Horumon Munenori Shinsekai Honten (ホルモン宗矩 新世界本店)
📍 Tsutenkaku Hondori, Naniwa-ku, Osaka (near Dobutsuen-mae Station)
🕐 11:00–22:00 (LO 21:30), weekdays from 13:00 (as of May 2026)
💰 ¥800–¥1,800 per person (food only) / ¥1,200–¥2,500 (with drinks)
🚃 Ebisucho Station (1 min walk)
⭐ Rating: Google 4.4 (150+ reviews) (as of writing)
🗺 Open in Google Maps
📋 Tabelog
🌐 Official site
What to order: Beef horumon skewer with house red sauce (¥200–¥350), red miso offal rice bowl (limited daily)
Note: An earlier Ebisucho branch of Munenori has closed (confirmed on Tabelog). This listing refers to the active Shinsekai Honten on Tsutenkaku Hondori — verify the address on the official site before visiting.
Munenori is a standing bar just one minute from Ebisucho Station, built around charcoal-grilled beef horumon skewers. The house red sauce has a proper kick, and the red miso offal rice bowl — loaded with four or more cuts — is the move if you want something more substantial than skewers alone.
5. Myodai Tsurukameya (名代 鶴亀家)
📍 2-5-2 Ebisuhigashi, Naniwa-ku, Osaka 556-0002
🕐 10:00–05:00 (Sun–Thu); open 24 hours Fri, Sat, and pre-holiday (as of May 2026)
💰 ¥1,000–¥2,500 per person (food only) / ¥1,500–¥3,500 (with drinks)
🚃 Ebisucho Station (3 min walk)
🗣 English menu: Yes (also Chinese and Korean)
⭐ Rating: Tabelog 3.44 / Google 4.2 (500+ reviews) (as of writing)
🗺 Open in Google Maps
📋 Tabelog
What to order: Doteyaki (¥280 per serving), kushikatsu from ¥99 each
Tsurukameya is easy to spot — two-metre-tall crane and tortoise statues flank the entrance — and it’s one of the few spots in Shinsekai with menus in English, Chinese, and Korean. It opens at 10am and runs until the early hours, going 24 hours on Fridays, Saturdays, and pre-holiday nights — useful if you’re eating late after a long day of exploring Shinsekai.
6. Kushikatsu Horumon Senmon-ten Asahi (串かつ・ホルモン専門店 朝日)
📍 2-3-9 Ebisuhigashi, Naniwa-ku, Osaka 556-0002
🕐 11:00–23:00 (as of May 2026)
💰 ¥1,300–¥2,500 per person (food only) / ¥2,000–¥3,500 (with drinks)
🚃 Dobutsuen-mae Station (5 min walk)
⭐ Rating: Tabelog 3.42 / Google 4.1 (300+ reviews) (as of writing)
🗺 Open in Google Maps
📋 Tabelog
What to order: All-you-can-eat kushikatsu + horumon course (¥1,300 for 90 min), charcoal-grilled rare offal cuts
Asahi is a dedicated kushikatsu and horumon specialist — one of the few places in Shinsekai where you can eat both in a single sitting without compromise. The horumon menu includes limited-quantity rare cuts that rotate daily, so if you’re serious about offal, arrive early and ask what’s in.
FAQ
Q: What is the best doteyaki and horumon in Shinsekai, Osaka?
A: Yaekatsu is the benchmark for doteyaki — beef tendon in white miso, simmered low and slow since 1949, served on skewers for around ¥300 for three. For charcoal-grilled horumon, Sumiyaki Horumon Shichifuku is the pick, with a proper seven-ring setup and rotating cuts.
Q: How many horumon restaurants are in Shinsekai?
A: Shinsekai and the Jan Jan Yokocho alley have at least a dozen spots serving horumon in some form, from dedicated standing bars to full izakayas. The densest cluster sits between Tsutenkaku Tower and Dobutsuen-mae Station, within a five-minute walk of each other.
Q: Do Shinsekai restaurants have English menus?
A: Most don’t — Shinsekai is a working-class local neighbourhood, not a tourist corridor. Tsurukameya is the clearest exception, with menus in English, Chinese, and Korean. Several other spots use picture menus, which makes pointing your way through an order entirely manageable.
Q: What should I order at horumon restaurants in Osaka?
A: Start with doteyaki — beef tendon braised in miso until it collapses — then move to charcoal-grilled horumon skewers. Beef small intestine (kotetsu or shiro) is the crowd favourite for its fat content and texture. If a place offers a red miso offal rice bowl, order it.
