The upstairs floor of the Daiichi Makishi Public Market keeps the custom called mochiage: buy fish or shellfish at a first-floor stall and a second-floor restaurant cooks it for you. Machigwa Shokudo Dotonbori is one of those upstairs kitchens, and its long shared tables are set out like a food court. Tabelog reviewers in 2026 had spiny lobster turned into sashimi and miso soup, and irabuchaa (parrotfish) served as sashimi and karaage.
The house menu covers the Okinawan standards, from Okinawa soba and yushi tofu to squid-ink fried rice, mozuku tempura and a mabo-don that cost ¥900 in June 2026. It opens at 9:00, so it works for breakfast too.
What to order
- Seafood bought downstairs and cooked to order (mochiage)
- Yushi tofu or Okinawa soba for breakfast
Worth knowing
- Ask the stall for the weight and price before you buy lobster for mochiage. A June 2026 Tabelog reviewer paid ¥2,500 for half a spiny lobster to be grilled.
