Calendrier

Following the example of ancient China, traditional Japanese culture divides the year into 72 seasonal phases, each representing a minute shift in climate and ecology throughout the year. This hypersensitivity to natural change is what underpins the ethos at this French restaurant in Osaka. The name alludes to their commitment to authentically representing the natural cycles of Japan. This is why their set menus have names which reference natural features and power. At lunch, diners can pick from three sets: The Wind, The Sun, and The Flower (in ascending order of price). Dinner has The Moon and The Stars, and a la carte ordering. No matter your choice, at the end of the meal you’ll be treated to your selection from a dessert cart packed with sweet French treats. Enjoy a French meal without skipping out on a Japanese cultural experience; Calendrier offers the best of both worlds.
