Situated inside the upmarket Rise Hotel in Osaka, this traditional Japanese kaiseki restaurant is on a real hot streak, achieving Michelin star status three years running. Their house-recipe dashi stock is key to that success, as is the beautifully constructed “hassun” seasonal platter which kicks off the meal. Expect a range of dishes using fresh seasonal vegetables, with meat and fish sourced from the best suppliers around the country. The setting is stylishly modern, with touches of traditional Kyoto style — perfect for a contemporary kaiseki meal which beautifully represents the centuries-old tradition of the craft.
