Just a short walk from Kitashinchi Station on the second basement floor of the Osaka Ekimae Dai-2 Building, Iwamura has been serving guests since 1987, best known for its meat cream croquettes blended with minced beef and beef tendon. Breaking through the crisp coating reveals a luscious cream laden with rich beef savoriness, drawing many regular patrons just for this signature dish. On weekday afternoons, tables bustling with office workers are lined with dishes such as the 'Hancoro Set'—pairing the croquette with a tender stewed hamburg steak—and large head-on fried shrimp served with homemade tartar sauce. In the evening, the restaurant shifts to offer creative French-based dishes and wine, featuring items like the Bitok Steak limited to 3 servings a day, or the melt-in-your-mouth stewed Japanese black beef cheek in red wine, available both à la carte and in course menus. The comfortably spaced, nostalgic dining room is entirely non-smoking, and the thoughtful staff can also prepare dessert plates to celebrate birthdays.
