Tempura Daikichi Namba Komejirushi

Excellent tempura place - set lunch was good value and very tasty (otoro sashimi was also very good)

Interesting restaurant where you can throw clam shells on the floor. It's kind of a fun and unique experience. Tempura and sashimi were pretty good but the clam miso soup was great. I would come back again.

Came here in March 2025. Ordered 2 of their set lunch menus for relatively cheap at under ¥900 each. You can select the amount of rice you want for free. Also ordered fatty tuna sashimi for about ¥1300 which came with 6 decent sized pieces. The tempura wasn't as crisp as I would expect considering it's fried immediately and it's not that much tempura that you get. It's filling enough though with the rice. The clam miso soup was a bit salty but flavour was still good. Oddly, I think part of their decor or atmosphere is to have broken clam shells all over the ground...strange to me as it crunches under your feet. We were seated right by the bathrooms which wasn't great and you can see right into the kitchen. They had 2 buckets of tempura batter sitting on the ground which doesn't seem that sanitary by Japanese standards. Mostly locals at this place. They weren't particularly friendly with us tourists but weren't rude either.

Just had dinner at Tempura Daikichi Namba today, and it was a great experience! Even though there was a queue outside, the service was super quick—the staff were really efficient in managing the crowd. I ordered the set rice bowl, and the portion was HUGE—definitely enough for a grown man. I also got tempura shitake mushrooms, eggplant, and a clam soup. The tempura was super fresh because they fry it right after you order. One unique thing here? You can throw your clam shells on the floor! The whole floor was covered in shells, which was kinda cool and unexpected. Every à la carte order already comes with rice and dipping sauce, so no need to worry about ordering extras. They have an English menu, so just ask the staff if you need one. The team also speaks some English and were really friendly. Overall, highly recommend this place if you’re in Namba and craving crispy, fresh tempura with a fun, casual vibe!

Delicious & very fresh, lightly-battered tempura! Especially savoured their famous clams miso soup. I appreciated the English menu they provided as well. A must-visit if you’re craving tempura!
