It was such a lovely experience! The restaurant is such a hole in the wall. My husband and I were the only guests for that seating and we enjoyed talking and chatting with the chef. He’s such a jovial guy and prepared an amazing meal for us. Highly recommended!!

Amano
Restaurant in Osaka
We reserved this restaurant and it was an intimate experience with about 8 people including us who dined in. This restaurant definitely knows how to cater to English speaking clients and native Japanese customers. Although the chef did not speak too much to us in English, he presented a binder in English introducing himself, some personal facts about his family and how he got started, and wrote about the people who helped him in the restaurant. What an excellent idea, this was the only restaurant we visited that went above and beyond for tourists. Not only that, my husband and I used Google translate to communicate to him and his 2 assistants preparing the food. We wanted to make sure they knew how touched we were by their efforts and friendliness. The sushi was amazing and the chef interacted with everyone in the group. We were so lucky that even a man and his wife ordered us a glass of sake when they realized it was our honeymoon celebration. This was such an amazing experience during our 2 week stay in Japan. We loved every piece of sushi and other non sushi dishes served. It was amazing, and we would definitely eat there again when we go to Osaka again!

Sushi Minazuki
Restaurant in Osaka
My husband and I ate here for dinner, and we loved the ambience and food. We were greeted by a female hostess, one male individual who checked in with us regularly, the main chef, and 1 of his assistants. This are catered to a total of 8 people including us, and it was an intimate experience. The one male helper would translate what the chef said in English to us, and my husband and I used Google translate to commend everyone’s hospitality and good food. It was my husbands favorite restaurant experience during our 2 week stay. The different cuts of the wagyu and other dishes were so delectable. We really enjoyed dining here and we even got to take a photo with the chef and the helper and hostess. This is a must place to eat!

Best Restaurants in Osaka
In the famous foodie capital of Japan, you will be able to find an outstanding Osaka restaurant in every corner of the city. The excitable energy of Osaka is fueled by its thriving food culture and restaurants in every district. The city center of Namba’s okonomiyaki restaurants sizzle away all day, filled with happy diners laughing out in Kansai-dialect late into the night ("kampai!"). Dotombori bustles almost 24 hours a day, alive with its street food stalls (takoyaki octopus balls grilling away) while "tabehoudai" all-you-can-eat restaurants call out for diners to take on the challenge. Feeling really adventurous? You can find fugu restaurants in Osaka serving up ""deadly"" pufferfish. The Shinsekai district's neon lights highlight the golden crusts of deep-fried skewers at its local kushikatsu restaurants. If you want a break from morish Kansai cuisine, find fresh sushi sliced and served up at sushi trains and specialty high-end sushi restaurants in Osaka.
Without a doubt, the city of Osaka absolutely lives and breathes food. The number of restaurants in Osaka is a testament to the city’s catch phrase of "kuidaore," which encourages "eating until you drop"!
