Restaurant Details

Shiki no Aji to Tempura Imai invites guests to discover the refined flavours of Japanese dining in Osaka’s lively Minami district. The restaurant specialises in tempura and kaiseki-style cuisine, with courses designed to showcase a wide variety of seasonal ingredients in small, beautifully arranged portions. Signature offerings include premium sashimi, an eight-piece tempura selection, and indulgent dishes such as Kuroge Wagyu steak. Some courses even include a thoughtful take-home gift, making the experience all the more memorable.

To elevate the meal, the chef carefully selects sake that pairs seamlessly with the day’s menu, creating a perfect harmony between food and drink. Guests can choose from private dining rooms—ideal for anniversaries, family gatherings, or business occasions—or counter seating, where freshly fried tempura is served directly as it is prepared.

Chef-owner Imai was born in Osaka in 1966 and trained for ten years in traditional Japanese cuisine before opening his own restaurant, which he has managed with passion for over three decades. Guided by the spirit of Ichigo Ichie—treasuring each unique encounter—he takes great joy in creating dishes that make guests want to return again and again. Combining authenticity with approachable pricing, Shiki no Aji to Tempura Imai offers a dining experience where each bite, paired with sake, becomes a moment of refined indulgence and a true escape from the city’s bustle.
