Naniwaryori Yu

Kappo dining has its spiritual home in Osaka, so where better to try it than here? There are plenty of options if you want to do so, but not so many can boast Michelin Guide-assured quality like Naniwaryori Yu. Here, you can enjoy the casual and conversational kappo dining style, with the chef acting as much like a host and entertainer as he does a cook. Once you take a seat at the counter, he will whip up a parade of dishes made with seasonal ingredients — such as oysters and matsutake mushrooms in summer, or pork stew and blowfish sashimi in winter — with some even created especially for you. After over a dozen dishes, you’ll finish up with a claypot of rice and vegetables, capping off your meal at one of the best traditional restaurants in Osaka.
