Otagi

This traditional restaurant is situated on the upper side of Osaka, near the mountains which rise up to the north. The restaurant currently has two Michelin stars, having entered the guide just one year after opening. Its name references the old name for this beautiful place, and the menu makes the most of the proximity to such a lush locale. Here you can enjoy sweetfish from the rivers, handpicked vegetables from the farms, and wild-picked ingredients from the forests. These feature alongside premium wagyu beef and fresh seafood. Although the style is unmistakably Japanese, there are also some foreign influences on display which will keep even experienced kaiseki fans guessing.
