Amano
Restaurant in Osaka
We reserved this restaurant and it was an intimate experience with about 8 people including us who dined in. This restaurant definitely knows how to cater to English speaking clients and native Japanese customers. Although the chef did not speak too much to us in English, he presented a binder in English introducing himself, some personal facts about his family and how he got started, and wrote about the people who helped him in the restaurant. What an excellent idea, this was the only restaurant we visited that went above and beyond for tourists. Not only that, my husband and I used Google translate to communicate to him and his 2 assistants preparing the food. We wanted to make sure they knew how touched we were by their efforts and friendliness. The sushi was amazing and the chef interacted with everyone in the group. We were so lucky that even a man and his wife ordered us a glass of sake when they realized it was our honeymoon celebration. This was such an amazing experience during our 2 week stay in Japan. We loved every piece of sushi and other non sushi dishes served. It was amazing, and we would definitely eat there again when we go to Osaka again!
