About this place
One dish that visitors to Takehachi often recommend starting with is the chef’s assorted sashimi platter. One diner recalled being struck by the thickness of the slices, including salmon, while another enjoyed a selection of seasonal fish. The fish on the platter may vary with the day’s offerings, so it makes a good starting point for building a seafood-focused meal.
The menu also lists medium-fatty tuna sashimi, salmon sashimi and seared hamo sashimi. Share a platter or choose individual fish dishes; either way, there is room to tailor a meal around seafood.
Between sashimi dishes, try the fried sea bream chikuwa in seaweed batter or the crisp shrimp kakiage. One diner particularly enjoyed the fried chikuwa and remembered it as a dish they wanted to have again. On another visit, diners ordered fruit-corn kakiage and pumpkin tempura. There are also comments from visitors looking forward to seasonal dishes. Add fried food and other small plates for a meal that goes beyond seafood: hamo tempura or grilled Awaodori chicken wings make it more substantial, while the Japanese-style pizza with chirimen and shiso offers another option.
Takehachi is an izakaya in Katsuyama, Tennoji Ward, Osaka. It is described as suitable for solo dining, and one visitor mentioned having drinks alone at the counter. Reservations are accepted; some diners booked a seat, while others recommend checking ahead because the restaurant can get busy. If you have a particular evening in mind, making a reservation may be helpful.
