釣船茶屋 ざうお 難波本店

A fun lunch experience where you can catch your own fish to eat. The restaurant itself is quite dark (we prefer the fishing restaurant further south in Osaka) but the staff were attentive and the service fast. We caught a fish that they cooked in two ways that we chose. The food was delicious. Great... fun

Visited this restaurant with a reservation for the most basic fishing menu that we booked using Rakuten. We are an American family of 4 with two teenagers. We booked a semi private room - traditional seats on the floor which was fun. The room/restaurant is a bit worn and is not “fancy” - it is defin...itely geared much more for younger kids and larger parties/celebrations! We had more than enough food with the package. Catching a fish is always fun but watch your eyes! Basically you snag it by the fin using a pole with a single tri-tip hook that can snap back up if you’re not careful - there’s no traditional bait that they will bite for. Once you catch your fish, you can choose how you would like it prepared (sashimi, deep fry, soy marinated, etc.). Dishes were tasty and satisfying. Staff was helpful with the fishing when asked - don’t be shy about asking for help as they tended to help the larger more vocal groups. A few things of note: The fish swam in a shallow large pool and were divided into sections so that lines wouldn’t snag when fishing. Under the bright lighting, it was a little bit of a sad aquarium - so if you’re not used to seeing your food alive before eating it or shopping at a more traditional wet market, brace yourself and your kids for that. Otherwise, I would recommend going with a bigger group for a celebration.

English menu available and friendly staff. It costs ¥110 to rent a fishing rod and fish from your table. It took us about 20 minutes to catch a Sea Bream; they also helped us ensure we caught the fish we wanted. Because of the size we were able to get two preparations. We chose sushi (10 pieces for ...¥.50 ea) and sautéed in butter (included in price). After we were done they offered to use the fish head in miso soup (¥150). Everything was really delicious but we were still hungry and opted for two shrimp tempura plate (3 pieces each plate). We also had a 350ml sake, 2 glasses of wine, and a spiked seltzer—- our total for 3 people was equivalent to around $75.00. We also had a suprise magic show from a local magic shop around a 5 min walk from the restaurant; great magician!

We had an excellent experience here with very friendly and helpful staff. We were able to fish from our table. We had it prepared two ways, and also ordered other meals (noodles, chicken, udon, icecream). All food was delicious and it was a very fun atmosphere. Our children are 7 and 9 years of age ...and they loved it.
